Room service<br />

We’ll bet that a goodly percentage of current <strong>Hull</strong><br />

residents weren’t liv<strong>in</strong>g here <strong>in</strong> July 2001, when Fred<br />

Kiley opened the <strong>Clarion</strong> Nantasket Beach Hotel and<br />

Conference Center.<br />

Kiley sticks out like the stripe on a skunk <strong>in</strong> photographs<br />

of the grand open<strong>in</strong>g. He’s at the end of a<br />

l<strong>in</strong>e of suits, sport<strong>in</strong>g a “farmer’s” tan from hours<br />

work<strong>in</strong>g outdoors, a hard hat, a T-shirt, shorts, and a<br />

wide smile.<br />

He’s the only person <strong>in</strong> the photo who seems wholly<br />

at ease and restless at the same time.<br />

You can see that he just wanted to give his guests<br />

a sandwich and a beer and then send them on their<br />

way so he could go back to work.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Clarion</strong> and its adjacent condos sit on a hardwon<br />

acre-and-a-quarter that Kiley unearthed after<br />

bulldoz<strong>in</strong>g the long-vacant Vogue nightclub, which<br />

never lived up to its moniker, and the remnants of an<br />

old-time bowl<strong>in</strong>g alley whose lanes became bowed<br />

and bruised beyond use by endless gutter balls and a<br />

fair number of lucky strikes.<br />

In short, the block was a blight until Kiley – whose<br />

luxury apartment proposal had been spurned by town<br />

meet<strong>in</strong>g – heeded the advice of then-selectman Leonard<br />

Hersch and built the upscale hotel the town had<br />

craved for decades.<br />

With his sister, Barbara, whose s<strong>in</strong>gle-m<strong>in</strong>dedness<br />

saw his vision successfully through successive<br />

projects, Fred Kiley was able to accomplish what<br />

many others had only aspired: he changed the very<br />

face of the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Clarion</strong>. Olney Street. Sunset Place. Kenberma<br />

Place. None of these existed a decade ago. Together<br />

they generate more than a half-million dollars<br />

<strong>in</strong> annual property tax revenues for the town, to say<br />

noth<strong>in</strong>g of the hotel’s economic sp<strong>in</strong>off. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Clarion</strong><br />

is <strong>Hull</strong>’s biggest private employer and electricity consumer,<br />

purchaser of <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite commodities, and sole<br />

source of celebrity sight<strong>in</strong>gs as Music Circus headl<strong>in</strong>ers<br />

head there to lay down their heads aprés-show.<br />

On Monday, Barbara Kiley talked about the hotel’s<br />

employees as family. She rem<strong>in</strong>isced about all<br />

the wedd<strong>in</strong>gs, bar and bas mitvahs, birthday parties,<br />

and the occasional “pop-up [impromptu] funeral”<br />

she’s witnessed over the past n<strong>in</strong>e years. <strong>The</strong> hotel’s<br />

sale, she said, was “very bittersweet.”<br />

She credited officials like Town Manager Phil<br />

Lemnios and Town Counsel Jim Lampke for help<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to br<strong>in</strong>g the hotel to reality so many years ago, and<br />

gave special praise to veteran plann<strong>in</strong>g and appeals<br />

board assistant Hildred Parent for help<strong>in</strong>g to steer a<br />

then very green Kiley through <strong>Hull</strong>’s permitt<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

political labyr<strong>in</strong>th.<br />

Lemnios told us that his “hat’s off to Fred Kiley, a<br />

class act who <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong> the community and who is<br />

really responsible for a lot of the economy here.” <strong>The</strong><br />

Kileys’ sense of responsibility even extended to be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

sure that the new owners are f<strong>in</strong>ancially sound<br />

and “will<strong>in</strong>g, able, and even eager to participate <strong>in</strong><br />

and even improve” <strong>Hull</strong>, he said.<br />

On Monday, Barbara Kiley said she couldn’t even<br />

beg<strong>in</strong> to contemplate what her life would be like today<br />

– Thursday – the first day that “any problems at<br />

the hotel are not my concern.” She said she and her<br />

brother will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to make <strong>Hull</strong> their home, and<br />

they will both cont<strong>in</strong>ue to develop new projects for<br />

the Heritage Companies, the family development,<br />

construction, and management company that’s based<br />

<strong>in</strong> Qu<strong>in</strong>cy.<br />

We wish them well.<br />

• • • • •<br />

It seems entirely fitt<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>in</strong> the same week we’re<br />

talk<strong>in</strong>g about the Kileys’ commercial departure from<br />

a place with which they’ve long been associated, we<br />

have a departure of our own to report.<br />

Next week’s edition – Sept. 30 – will be my last as<br />

manag<strong>in</strong>g editor of the <strong>Times</strong>.<br />

On Oct. 1, I will report to work at Jack Conway &<br />

Co. as director of agent services, a new position that<br />

<strong>in</strong>corporates the firm’s real estate school and a wide<br />

range of education and tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g activities for its 650+<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

‘SOME SEMBLANCE OF PROGRESS’ SHOULD BE<br />

EVIDENT AT HRA SITE…<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I watched the <strong>Hull</strong> Redevelopment Authority meet<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on Sept. 13 and was particularly impressed by<br />

what Charles E. Gould had to say. He gave a complete<br />

analysis of what the authority accomplished<br />

under his chairmanship, which lasted from 1965 to<br />

1974. Mr. Gould listed the achievements carried out<br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g his chairmanship of the urban renewal program.<br />

In your article <strong>in</strong> last week’s <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, you didn’t<br />

recognize Mr. Gould’s position as chairman, which<br />

gave him first-hand knowledge of what the <strong>Hull</strong> Redevelopment<br />

Authority accomplished almost four<br />

decades ago. He mentioned the plann<strong>in</strong>g, the staff<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

and the execution of the program under the fund<strong>in</strong>g<br />

of the federal government, and the acquisition of<br />

76 build<strong>in</strong>gs and 85 parcels of land.<br />

By this time, the town should have seen some semblance<br />

of progress.<br />

Twenty-four families were relocated, which translates<br />

<strong>in</strong>to 100 or more people; 17 <strong>in</strong>dividuals and 21<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>esses also were relocated. Mr. Gould went on to<br />

say that the first build<strong>in</strong>g was demolished <strong>in</strong> December<br />

of 1973, almost four decades ago, and the land<br />

still sits there undeveloped.<br />

I feel that <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Times</strong> didn’t make clear the<br />

role that Mr. Gould performed <strong>in</strong> his tenure as chairman.<br />

I believe it is the paper’s duty to represent knowledgeable<br />

report<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> regard to the development,<br />

which should have begun decades ago.<br />

<strong>The</strong> public needs to understand how much time<br />

has already passed, and we’re now talk<strong>in</strong>g about no<br />

development for three to five years. I believe we have<br />

committed a disservice to the town and its people.<br />

How much longer do we have to wait to see progress<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g made with the HRA site?<br />

Mr. Gould is now 78 years old and wonders if he’ll<br />

ever get to see the HRA land serve the purpose that<br />

was <strong>in</strong>tended, or will the land sit there as a park<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>The</strong> town must have development at the HRA site<br />

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES URGED TO SUPPORT<br />

CHANGES IN STATE HEALTH CARE LAWS…<br />

To the Editor:<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g this election season, the Massachusetts<br />

Municipal Association is call<strong>in</strong>g on all candidates for<br />

the Legislature to pledge their support for reform legislation<br />

to give cities and towns the ability to control<br />

skyrocket<strong>in</strong>g health <strong>in</strong>surance costs and save local<br />

taxpayers $100 million a year, and we encourage all<br />

voters and taxpayers to do the same.<br />

Pay<strong>in</strong>g for health <strong>in</strong>surance is a problem for everyone,<br />

but cities and towns have been forced to pay<br />

much more than necessary because of a state law that<br />

gives municipal unions a veto over rout<strong>in</strong>e plan changes<br />

that would reduce the cost to taxpayers.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the past 10 years, cities and towns have<br />

seen their health <strong>in</strong>surance costs rise by more than<br />

150 percent, squeez<strong>in</strong>g out vital services and cost<strong>in</strong>g<br />

local taxpayers more and more.<br />

<strong>The</strong> state has cut local aid by $825 million, and<br />

cities and towns have laid off thousands of employees,<br />

cut services and <strong>in</strong>creased their reliance on property<br />

taxes. Without real health <strong>in</strong>surance reform, communities<br />

will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to pay too much for employee<br />

Endless Summer promises a full day of fun,<br />

food, and enterta<strong>in</strong>ment at the waterfront<br />

By Christopher Haraden<br />

After months of plann<strong>in</strong>g and preparation,<br />

organizers of the sixth annual<br />

Endless Summer Waterfront Festival are<br />

ready to welcome thousands to Nantasket<br />

Beach for the best late summer beach<br />

party anywhere <strong>in</strong> New England.<br />

Nantasket Ave., from Park Ave. to the<br />

carousel, will be closed to vehicles and<br />

transformed <strong>in</strong>to a pedestrian marketplace<br />

from noon until 6 p.m. on Saturday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> street will not only be filled with<br />

vendor booths, but music will fill the air<br />

throughout the day. Organizer Kev<strong>in</strong><br />

Morris said that, this year, speakers will<br />

l<strong>in</strong>e the entire quarter-mile of the festival,<br />

allow<strong>in</strong>g all attendees to get <strong>in</strong>to the<br />

spirit of the day and let people hear important<br />

announcements and promotions.<br />

Morris said the extra sound system<br />

equipment was made possible by Nantasket<br />

Hotel at the Beach, Verizon, Nantasket<br />

Perform<strong>in</strong>g Arts Center, and L<strong>in</strong>den<br />

Ponds.<br />

As always, Endless Summer – sponsored<br />

by the <strong>Hull</strong>-Nantasket Chamber of<br />

Commerce, the Town of <strong>Hull</strong>, and the<br />

state Department of Conservation and<br />

Recreation – will have all the elements<br />

of a family-friendly day of fun:<br />

- Great food. Eat at over 25 restaurants,<br />

with offer<strong>in</strong>gs rang<strong>in</strong>g from clam<br />

chowder and lobster rolls to hot dogs and<br />

sushi.<br />

“<strong>Hull</strong> has the best seaside restaurants<br />

<strong>in</strong> Massachusetts,” Morris said, “and this<br />

festival isn’t about just fried dough and<br />

pizza. You will sample delicious treats<br />

from the Mediterranean to Vietnam, as<br />

well as good old local seafood and hearty<br />

help<strong>in</strong>gs of ribs.”<br />

- Shopp<strong>in</strong>g and artists. <strong>Hull</strong> features<br />

many unique shopp<strong>in</strong>g experiences and<br />

some of the best artists on the South<br />

Shore, he said.<br />

“This is the place to take home an<br />

orig<strong>in</strong>al pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g, or piece of Paragon<br />

Park memorabilia,” Morris said. “Or,<br />

start your holiday shopp<strong>in</strong>g early and<br />

have someth<strong>in</strong>g special from Nantasket<br />

Beach at one of the dozens of vendors<br />

l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the street. <strong>The</strong>n visit the <strong>Hull</strong> Artists<br />

Studio Connection at the Bernie<br />

K<strong>in</strong>g Pavilion.”<br />

- Enterta<strong>in</strong>ment. Throughout the<br />

afternoon, the festival will feature live<br />

music on the Aquarion Sound Stage,<br />

with performances by East Coast<br />

Acapella, the Claffey/Karnes Irish Band,<br />

Chill Set, and the kids’ favorite, the Toe<br />

Jam Puppet Band. Be sure to check out<br />

Fasc<strong>in</strong>ation right <strong>in</strong> the middle of the<br />

action, where there will be a special<br />

$1,000 prize and cold Sea Dog beer.<br />

- Contests. Watch as eight charities<br />

compete <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Clarion</strong> Nantasket Beach<br />

Resort Hotel and Spa Sandcastle Competition,<br />

with 30 tons of sand on Nantasket<br />

THE ASSAULT ON BATTERIES<br />

If you do a lot of stop-and-go urban driv<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

you should know that it could affect your<br />

automobile’s battery performance and service<br />

life. <strong>The</strong> reason for this is that low eng<strong>in</strong>e<br />

RPMs (rotations per m<strong>in</strong>ute, a unit<br />

used to measure the rotational speed of the<br />

eng<strong>in</strong>e) at stop lights (2-3 m<strong>in</strong>utes) makes<br />

the battery work harder to supply the electrical<br />

needs of the vehicle, especially with<br />

numerous electrical accessories turned on.<br />

Short drives and stop-and-go driv<strong>in</strong>g require<br />

the battery to supply the electrical needs<br />

that the alternator is struggl<strong>in</strong>g to provide.<br />

As a result of this reduced charge time (and<br />

additional heat), stop-and-go drivers should,<br />

for the most part, expect shorter battery life<br />

and more frequent replacement <strong>in</strong>tervals.<br />

A dead battery isn’t usually a big <strong>deal</strong>, but<br />

it can leave you stranded far from home, <strong>in</strong><br />

the dark. That’s why you need regularly scheduled<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>tenance — to catch th<strong>in</strong>gs like corroded<br />

batteries before they become stories<br />

about be<strong>in</strong>g stuck on the side of the highway<br />

<strong>in</strong> the pour<strong>in</strong>g ra<strong>in</strong>. At ATLANTIC TIRE AND<br />

care that every car needs to extend its life<br />

4 THE HULL TIMES, Thursday, September 23, 2010 www.hulltimes.com<br />

THE WEEK<br />

Library recertification bill on governor’s desk.<br />

<strong>The</strong> signature of Gov. Deval Patrick is the next step<br />

<strong>in</strong> restor<strong>in</strong>g state certification for the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library,<br />

which was decertified by the Massachusetts<br />

Board of Library Commissioners earlier this year.<br />

State Rep. Garrett Bradley and Sen. Robert Hedlund<br />

announced this week that legislation that would<br />

re-certify the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library was approved by<br />

the Legislature and was sent to the governor’s desk.<br />

<strong>The</strong> town’s library lost its certification because not<br />

enough money was budgeted for its operations <strong>in</strong> fiscal<br />

2010, based on a state formula. <strong>The</strong> MBLC denied<br />

the town’s request for a waiver, and many area<br />

libraries suspended borrow<strong>in</strong>g privileges for <strong>Hull</strong> residents.<br />

Most agreed to serve <strong>Hull</strong> patrons on July 1 <strong>in</strong><br />

anticipation of the recertification of the local library.<br />

Certification qualifies the library for additional<br />

state fund<strong>in</strong>g, and demonstrates a commitment to<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> a level of service to the community. Hedlund<br />

and Bradley applauded town meet<strong>in</strong>g voters, library<br />

Director Daniel Johnson, and the board of trustees<br />

for their efforts to keep the library open and accessible.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y also thanked the Friends of the <strong>Hull</strong><br />

Public Library and the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library Foundation<br />

for their volunteer efforts to raise money.<br />

<strong>The</strong> library still needs to submit reports and applications<br />

to the library commissioners.<br />

“Ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g a strong and vibrant public library<br />

is an essential component for the cultural and educational<br />

well-be<strong>in</strong>g of the community,” Bradley said. “I<br />

am pleased that, through the jo<strong>in</strong>t efforts of the community<br />

and local officials, the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library will<br />

be eligible to receive state assistance and fund<strong>in</strong>g.”<br />

“John Adams said that liberty cannot be preserved<br />

without general knowledge among the people, which<br />

is why he was an ardent supporter of a public library<br />

system,” Hedlund said. “Particularly dur<strong>in</strong>g these<br />

tough times, when many people have cut out a monthly<br />

trip to the local bookstore, it is all the more important<br />

that we keep our local libraries open and available<br />

to the public.”<br />

Number, please? Although its certification prospects<br />

brightened this week, a dark cloud rema<strong>in</strong>s over<br />

the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library’s telephone service.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> library phones are still not work<strong>in</strong>g,” library<br />

Director Daniel Johnson said this week. “We are work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on it and will keep patrons updated. We thank<br />

them for their patience.”<br />

Callers to the library’s ma<strong>in</strong> number have been gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />

constant busy signals for the past two weeks, and<br />

outgo<strong>in</strong>g calls can’t be made from the phone system.<br />

Johnson said that patrons who need to reach the<br />

library are encouraged to stop by, email hucirc@<br />

ocln.org or send a fax to 781 925-0867.<br />

Also, the library cont<strong>in</strong>ues to hold preschool story<br />

hours on Wednesday morn<strong>in</strong>gs at 10 a.m. through Nov.<br />

3. No registration is necessary.<br />

Fight<strong>in</strong>g the flu. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> Board of Health will<br />

hold a flu cl<strong>in</strong>ic on Oct. 19 from 4-7 p.m.<br />

This year’s <strong>in</strong>fluenza formulation <strong>in</strong>cludes the<br />

H1N1 vacc<strong>in</strong>e, Health Agent Joyce Sullivan said. Vacc<strong>in</strong>es<br />

are available for residents seven and older. Participants<br />

are asked to br<strong>in</strong>g non-perishable food items<br />

and personal-care products for the local food pantry.<br />

Pneumoccocal vacc<strong>in</strong>e will also be available to<br />

high-risk residents, asthmatics, and smokers. <strong>The</strong> vacc<strong>in</strong>e<br />

is free, but the town bills Medicare for those residents<br />

65 and older. Homebound residents can call<br />

the <strong>Hull</strong> Board of Health at 781 925-2224 to schedule<br />

a home visit.<br />

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, a flu cl<strong>in</strong>ic will be held<br />

at the Hanover Mall <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g six local communities,<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Hull</strong>. <strong>The</strong> time will be announced soon.<br />

Republicans to meet next week. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> Republican<br />

Town Committee will meet on Wednesday,<br />

Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m. at Café Ona, 443 Nantasket<br />

Ave. It is an excit<strong>in</strong>g time to be a Republican <strong>in</strong> Massachusetts,<br />

Chairman James Mellon said this week,<br />

and the <strong>Hull</strong> RTC is always look<strong>in</strong>g for new members<br />

and fresh ideas. Whether you want to become a<br />

member, or would like to stop by and listen to report<br />

on Republican events, meet candidates [<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Tim<br />

Historic calendar to raise $$ for library<br />

By John J. Galluzzo<br />

It happens every time I show my face <strong>in</strong> town.<br />

“You’re John Galluzzo? Oh, I read the 100 Years<br />

Ago column every week! That Miss V<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g…” Nearly<br />

eight decades after her death, Floretta V<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is<br />

aga<strong>in</strong> a star <strong>in</strong> the town she loved so<br />

much, through no effort on my part –<br />

I, thanks to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, have just<br />

let her voice be heard. With her pretentiousness,<br />

haughty attitude, and anger-driven,<br />

personal editorial attacks on<br />

her fellow townspeople, she’s the unlikeliest<br />

local hero <strong>in</strong> Massachusetts.<br />

But Floretta was a hero. She did more<br />

for this town than the other 449 people<br />

who lived <strong>in</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>in</strong> 1890 comb<strong>in</strong>ed. She<br />

fought for roads, for tra<strong>in</strong>s, for mail. She<br />

fought for sidewalks, cried out for <strong>in</strong>frastructure<br />

upgrades for the safety of<br />

all <strong>Hull</strong>onians, and generally strove to<br />

make <strong>Hull</strong> a better place to live.<br />

Among her many goals was the designation<br />

of a public library for the town of <strong>Hull</strong>. When<br />

the idea floated through the letters section of <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Hull</strong> Beacon <strong>in</strong> 1898, she backed the notion. A Professor<br />

Thomas Markoe and family had lived <strong>in</strong> the<br />

old John Boyle O’Reilly estate after the poet’s death,<br />

but it was obvious it was not a long-term occupancy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> Village Club moved <strong>in</strong> for a while, but eventually,<br />

<strong>in</strong> 1913, the library idea solidified, and the<br />

build<strong>in</strong>g that had always been known as the O’Reilly<br />

Estate was reborn as the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library.<br />

Today, as we know, the abstract idea of the <strong>Hull</strong><br />

Public Library needs our help. To meet the community’s<br />

needs, it needs to move. <strong>The</strong> O’Reilly estate<br />

has given us nearly a century of service, but it’s time<br />

to f<strong>in</strong>d, or build, a new library build<strong>in</strong>g, one that can<br />

promise our citizenry a comfortable place to learn,<br />

to gather, and to pass on knowledge to our youth for<br />

decades to come.<br />

For that reason, I’ve pulled Floretta V<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g out<br />

of retirement.<br />

For those folks who do read the 100 Years Ago<br />

“It’s<br />

wonderful<br />

here,”<br />

says Portia.<br />

Jo<strong>in</strong> us for a Complimentary Luncheon and Tour.<br />

column, follow<strong>in</strong>g the antics of our ancient townsfolk<br />

from week to week, well, there’s more where<br />

that came from. I’ve created a 12-month calendar<br />

that will complement what you will read <strong>in</strong> that column<br />

throughout 2011. Two or three days per week,<br />

purchasers of the calendar will have the ability to<br />

look a few typewritten l<strong>in</strong>es deeper<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the m<strong>in</strong>d of Floretta V<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>to<br />

the shady actions of Boss John Smith<br />

and the Old R<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>to the past of<br />

our community. Historic photos, courtesy<br />

of the <strong>Hull</strong> Historical Society, will<br />

help br<strong>in</strong>g those days back to life.<br />

That calendar will be on sale at the<br />

Endless Summer event, thereafter at<br />

the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library, and at the <strong>Hull</strong><br />

Holiday Showcase <strong>in</strong> November. Every<br />

cent of profit will go to the future<br />

of the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library. Toward that<br />

end, we’ll be pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g 500 copies<br />

which we will sell at $20 apiece, the<br />

simple math be<strong>in</strong>g that if they all sell<br />

out this fall, $10,000 will have been<br />

raised; if anybody would like to help underwrite the<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g cost of $1,800, the funds can go even further.<br />

I’ve said for years that the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library is<br />

my secret weapon. Whenever I have an idea for an<br />

article or a book about <strong>Hull</strong> history, I knock on Dan<br />

Johnson’s staff’s door. We’ve retrieved books and<br />

microfilm reels from libraries as far away as Missouri,<br />

the Library of Congress, and more. <strong>The</strong>y’ve<br />

produced historic maps I never knew existed, steered<br />

me to reference materials I might have never consulted.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’ve made my efforts much easier.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, the same could be said for Floretta V<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g.<br />

She’s given me plenty to write [and laugh] about<br />

over the years, and the show’s not over. I can’t give<br />

back to Floretta for what she’s given me, but through<br />

the sale of the 1911-2011 100 Years Ago Calendar,<br />

we can all give back to the <strong>Hull</strong> Public Library, so<br />

Floretta can still be a member of our community<br />

when <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> <strong>Times</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>s its “150 Years Ago”<br />

column just a few decades from now. ∞<br />

Rep. candidate<br />

F<strong>in</strong>nerty asks, ‘Are<br />

you undertaxed?’<br />

Tim F<strong>in</strong>nerty, the Republican state Representative<br />

candidate, recently issued the follow<strong>in</strong>g statement<br />

from his campaign:<br />

Beacon Hill believes that you are under taxed. To<br />

correct the problem, they have raised your taxes eight<br />

times <strong>in</strong> four years. Unfortunately, our state legislature<br />

has forgotten that every tax <strong>in</strong>crease causes the<br />

loss of thousands of jobs. <strong>The</strong> 25-percent <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong><br />

the sales tax cost us an estimated 15,000 jobs. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

policies have created a stagnant economy with high<br />

taxes and high unemployment.<br />

Now is the time for new policies that create jobs<br />

and stimulate the economy. We can start by roll<strong>in</strong>g<br />

back the sales tax to 5 percent. This will allow you to<br />

keep more of your <strong>in</strong>come and recapture thousands<br />

of lost jobs. Massachusetts has a 6.25-percent sales<br />

tax and a 9-percent unemployment rate. New Hampshire<br />

has 0-percent sales tax and 5.8-percent unemployment.<br />

Isn’t it better to collect <strong>in</strong>come tax from<br />

new jobs than to take higher sales taxes from our unemployed<br />

neighbors and friends?<br />

Ten years ago the people of Massachusetts voted<br />

to reduce the sales tax to 5 percent. <strong>The</strong> state Legislature<br />

ignored the vote. Instead of cutt<strong>in</strong>g taxes and<br />

spend<strong>in</strong>g, the Legislature <strong>in</strong>creased debt and nearly<br />

doubled spend<strong>in</strong>g! High unemployment, high taxes<br />

and enormous debt are not the hallmarks of a w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />

formula for long term economic prosperity. This<br />

year we have a choice. We can cont<strong>in</strong>ue to vote for<br />

legislators who have repeatedly voted for higher taxes<br />

that push jobs out of state, or we can vote for new<br />

leaders who will respect the voice of the People and<br />

create new jobs. I vote for jobs. ∞<br />

A MERRY TIME – <strong>The</strong> Friends of the Paragon Carousel held a ‘thank you’<br />

party to show their appreciation to everyone who helped the organization<br />

through another successful season. <strong>The</strong> event also served as the unveil<strong>in</strong>g of<br />

the new doors and w<strong>in</strong>dows <strong>in</strong> the carousel’s round build<strong>in</strong>g. Friends Treasurer<br />

10 THE HULL TIMES, Thursday, September 23, 2010 www.hulltimes.com<br />

Editorial<br />

Cont<strong>in</strong>ued from page 2<br />

Like the <strong>Times</strong>, Conway is a family-owned, family-run<br />

organization, and it’s a place with which I’m<br />

quite familiar: I worked <strong>in</strong> its public relations department<br />

for eight years before return<strong>in</strong>g to the editor’s<br />

chair here <strong>in</strong> 2006. I say “return<strong>in</strong>g” because, before<br />

that, I was editor of the <strong>Times</strong> from 1992-96, and have<br />

worked here <strong>in</strong> some capacity s<strong>in</strong>ce I was 16 years<br />

old, start<strong>in</strong>g out cover<strong>in</strong>g what was then known as<br />

the beach advisory committee.<br />

I’m proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved<br />

here over the years. Work<strong>in</strong>g as a team, we re<strong>in</strong>stituted<br />

our tradition of spoof<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Hull</strong>’s newsmakers on<br />

April Fool’s Day [and always manage to snare at least<br />

a few gullible souls], we developed a website that attracts<br />

literally thousands of visitors from across the<br />

world, and we earned seven awards for excellence<br />

from the New England Newspaper and Press Association.<br />

I’m grateful to all of our readers for giv<strong>in</strong>g me the<br />

chance to <strong>in</strong>form, enterta<strong>in</strong>, and challenge you every<br />

week. I’m also grateful to my <strong>Times</strong> “family” for their<br />

k<strong>in</strong>dnesses and support.<br />

While I will no longer be <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the day-today<br />

operation of the paper, I plan to rema<strong>in</strong> active as<br />

a contributor. With 23 years of <strong>in</strong>stitutional memory<br />

rattl<strong>in</strong>g around <strong>in</strong> my head, I’ll be able to heed the<br />

advice of <strong>Times</strong> publisher Susan Ovans, who frequently<br />

counsels reporters not to waste material.<br />

It’s been said that a writer with a pen, paper, and<br />

imag<strong>in</strong>ation is never unemployed. And if we’ve proven<br />

one th<strong>in</strong>g over the years, it’s that <strong>in</strong> <strong>Hull</strong>, there’s<br />

never a shortage of good material to fill the pages of<br />

your hometown newspaper.<br />

– Christopher Haraden<br />

Letters<br />

health benefits, which will force even more service<br />

cuts and layoffs, while local taxpayers pay millions<br />

more than they should.<br />

When the new Legislature convenes <strong>in</strong> January,<br />

our Representatives and Senators need to support real<br />

reform that gives local government the same authority<br />

the state has to design health <strong>in</strong>surance plans outside<br />

of collective barga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. Cities and towns would<br />

be able to their lower health <strong>in</strong>surance costs by $100<br />

million statewide. This is real sav<strong>in</strong>gs that taxpayers<br />

deserve and need.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reform legislation would provide relief from<br />

an <strong>in</strong>defensible state law that allows local unions to<br />

block even modest changes <strong>in</strong> health plans, such as<br />

<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g any co-pays or deductibles. Many municipalities<br />

are locked <strong>in</strong>to plans that offer $5 co-pays<br />

for office visits, and no co-pays or deductibles for<br />

many expensive procedures. But state employees have<br />

$20 co-pays and much higher deductibles because<br />

state leaders have exempted themselves from this<br />

collective barga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g mandate, and state officials rout<strong>in</strong>ely<br />

implement plan changes to save money on<br />

health <strong>in</strong>surance with no union approval required.<br />

Cities and towns should have the same authority<br />

the state has. <strong>The</strong>re is no excuse for keep<strong>in</strong>g the unique<br />

and special veto power that municipal unions hold<br />

over health plan changes – this veto power is cost<strong>in</strong>g<br />

taxpayers millions, and is forc<strong>in</strong>g cuts <strong>in</strong> important<br />

services, and is caus<strong>in</strong>g the elim<strong>in</strong>ation of teachers,<br />

firefighters, and police officers from local budgets.<br />

We urge all voters and taxpayers to ask candidates<br />

for the Legislature for a commitment to pass strong<br />

municipal health <strong>in</strong>surance reform when the Legislature<br />

convenes <strong>in</strong> January. Otherwise, the fiscal problems<br />

we face will get worse, and local taxpayers will<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ue to pay more and get less <strong>in</strong> return.<br />

ATHLETES THANK COMMUNITY FOR TOLL BOOTH<br />

BOOST…<br />

To the Editor:<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> Boosters would like to thank all of the<br />

students, parents, and coaches who volunteered on<br />

Sunday morn<strong>in</strong>g for the annual sticker drive and toll<br />

booth. We’d also like to thank the community for its<br />

unend<strong>in</strong>g support.<br />

It’s the smil<strong>in</strong>g faces that greet you at the door,<br />

wait<strong>in</strong>g for their sticker, and the motorists with their<br />

arms out the w<strong>in</strong>dow with their donation that make<br />

this event so successful every year.<br />

If we missed your house, or you weren’t home that<br />

morn<strong>in</strong>g, we will have the stickers available at Endless<br />

Summer, as well as all Boosters Club events. <strong>The</strong><br />

suggested donation is $5.<br />

Aga<strong>in</strong>, we thank the community for its cont<strong>in</strong>ued<br />

support.<br />

PARENTS NEED TALKING POINTS FROM SCHOOL<br />

DEPARTMENT…<br />

To the Editor:<br />

“It’s beautiful, but how are the schools?” moms<br />

from other towns ask me at tot playgrounds.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> grade school has a good reputation,” I answer,<br />

and sometimes add, “the test results have been<br />

pretty good,” but I don’t know much more than that.<br />

In my observation, a lot of families send their kids<br />

to parochial, private, or charter schools. Happily, some<br />

of the brightest, most respectful kids I know go to<br />

<strong>Hull</strong> High.<br />

What I could really use are some talk<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />

from the school committee, so I can be a cheerleader<br />

for <strong>Hull</strong> schools by say<strong>in</strong>g, “<strong>The</strong> grade school is excellent<br />

at ..., the middle school has great..., and the<br />

high school has a strong ... and ...”<br />

Respectfully,<br />

“When Martha Coakley said, ‘It’s not illegal to be<br />

illegal <strong>in</strong> Massachusetts,’ I said she was wrong. Now<br />

the voters have spoken also.”<br />

recovery.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Clarion</strong>’s impend<strong>in</strong>g sale had<br />

been rumored for weeks, although it was<br />

not confirmed until Barbara Kiley announced<br />

it at last week’s <strong>Hull</strong> Redevelopment<br />

Authority meet<strong>in</strong>g. She had put<br />

off several requests for comment by the<br />

<strong>Times</strong> until this week, say<strong>in</strong>g that she<br />

was “superstitious” and feared “bad karma”<br />

if she speculated about the sale before<br />

the deed was done.<br />

Over coffee Monday morn<strong>in</strong>g at Raffael’s<br />

– the hotel’s restaurant owned by <strong>in</strong>dustry<br />

veteran Elio Ricci – Kiley said that<br />

the <strong>Clarion</strong> “was never on the market,” and<br />

that the new owners had approached Heritage<br />

because they wanted to expand their<br />

operations to <strong>in</strong>clude a waterfront hotel that<br />

had proximity to <strong>Boston</strong>.<br />

Although she wouldn’t comment on<br />

the purchase price, Kiley said negotiations<br />

for the transaction were “straightforward”<br />

and that the pr<strong>in</strong>cipals were<br />

“open and s<strong>in</strong>cere.<br />

“I th<strong>in</strong>k they’re a lot like us,” Kiley<br />

said. “I th<strong>in</strong>k they’ll be good for the<br />

town. <strong>The</strong>y want to take the hotel to the<br />

next level.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new owners are keep<strong>in</strong>g the hotel’s<br />

current employees, she said, which<br />

was important to her and her brother.<br />

“Many of my people have been here<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce we started,” Kiley said. “I’m not<br />

kidd<strong>in</strong>g when I say they’re like family.<br />

“It’s really bittersweet to sell, but it’s<br />

time.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> restaurant and gym, Ocean Fitness,<br />

will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to be privately owned<br />

and operated, Kiley said. <strong>The</strong> Sand Dollar<br />

Spa is part of the hotel, which generated<br />

$91,543 <strong>in</strong> room taxes for the town <strong>in</strong><br />

FY2010, accord<strong>in</strong>g to Town Accountant<br />

Selectmen’s meet<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Cont<strong>in</strong>ued from page 1<br />

developer clear direction, identify and secure technical<br />

and f<strong>in</strong>ancial resources to advance the project, determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />

if <strong>in</strong>frastructure improvements are needed,<br />

identify and secure fund<strong>in</strong>g if <strong>in</strong>frastructure improvements<br />

are needed, exam<strong>in</strong>e – and, if necessary – implement<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>centives such as tax <strong>in</strong>crement<br />

f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g [TIF] and/or district improvement f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g<br />

[DIF], and develop a municipal fiscal impact<br />

model to evaluate “bottom l<strong>in</strong>e” impacts.<br />

“This is an important plann<strong>in</strong>g effort that the town<br />

needs to do,” Fultz said.<br />

Fultz proposed that the focus for the committee <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

the area from Rockland House Road to Phipps<br />

Street, which would <strong>in</strong>clude the <strong>Hull</strong> Redevelopment<br />

Authority property. Fultz said he supported the widerang<strong>in</strong>g<br />

approach because developers look<strong>in</strong>g at the<br />

DCR site would want to know how the town is address<strong>in</strong>g<br />

traffic and park<strong>in</strong>g issues <strong>in</strong> the area, as well as<br />

how that site fits <strong>in</strong>to the overall plan for the district.<br />

Selectman John Reilly’s motion to form the committee<br />

limited its scope to the DCR property, however<br />

he said the board could later expand its purview.<br />

Reilly asked about form<strong>in</strong>g an “<strong>in</strong>dustrial commission”<br />

with its own decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g authority, and<br />

gave H<strong>in</strong>gham Shipyard as an example of a project<br />

done with its own development corporation. He also<br />

asked that Fultz meet with the HRA and the DCR to<br />

discuss the project. He suggested that Fultz <strong>in</strong>corporate<br />

representatives of surround<strong>in</strong>g towns to obta<strong>in</strong><br />

different perspectives. Fultz said he would like to<br />

contact the group that runs the islands <strong>in</strong> <strong>Boston</strong> Harbor<br />

to participate as well.<br />

Town Manager Philip Lemnios said he plans to<br />

ask the HRA to contribute funds from its treasury toward<br />

the plann<strong>in</strong>g effort.<br />

Selectman John Brannan expressed concern that<br />

the project’s focus would too big, and said he believes<br />

that everyone <strong>in</strong>volved “will be go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> circles.” Fultz<br />

assured Brannan that that would not be the case. “We<br />

need to create a framework,” he expla<strong>in</strong>ed. “<strong>The</strong> developer<br />

needs this <strong>in</strong>formation.”<br />

Fultz said that the goal for the property is to create<br />

revenue streams for the town and for the developer.<br />

He recommended the formation of the local plann<strong>in</strong>g<br />

committee to develop an “<strong>in</strong>clusive” project plan before<br />

seek<strong>in</strong>g proposals from builders.<br />

Selectman Dennis Blackall asked whether the town<br />

could jump-start the process by ask<strong>in</strong>g developers to<br />

br<strong>in</strong>g ideas to the table first, before the committee<br />

develops its framework. He said that hold<strong>in</strong>g “a giant<br />

bra<strong>in</strong>storm<strong>in</strong>g session” might result <strong>in</strong> “someth<strong>in</strong>g we<br />

would <strong>in</strong>advertently elim<strong>in</strong>ate by develop<strong>in</strong>g this<br />

framework.”<br />

“I certa<strong>in</strong>ly th<strong>in</strong>k we have the time to do this right,”<br />

Fultz said, add<strong>in</strong>g that he believes that the development<br />

of a framework could take a year to complete.<br />

He said Blackall’s concept was “an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g way<br />

to <strong>in</strong>form this committee about the process,” but said<br />

that <strong>in</strong> his experience, the community establishes the<br />

process prior to <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g developers.<br />

”People can get tied up <strong>in</strong> proposals, but don’t have<br />

the deliberative process,” he said.<br />

“I th<strong>in</strong>k you’re all on the same page,” Chairman<br />

Domenico Sestito said, add<strong>in</strong>g that state Rep. Garrett<br />

Bradley, who sponsored the legislation, is scheduled<br />

to meet with the board next week. Board members<br />

plan to discuss the DCR property with Bradley dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

that session.<br />

Also on Tuesday, Lemnios announced that the real<br />

estate subcommittee of the f<strong>in</strong>ancial plann<strong>in</strong>g committee<br />

has compiled a list of properties that can be<br />

sold by the town to generate revenue.<br />

<strong>The</strong> subcommittee evaluated all town-owned land<br />

and is recommend<strong>in</strong>g that the selectmen develop a<br />

process for dispos<strong>in</strong>g of at least one property, a large<br />

parcel of land on Mountford Rd. that can be subdivided<br />

<strong>in</strong>to three house lots. Because the town acquired<br />

the land due to nonpayment of taxes, the selectmen<br />

have jurisdiction over its disposal – either through<br />

solicit<strong>in</strong>g bids or through an auction.<br />

Other lots on Spr<strong>in</strong>g St. and Nantasket Ave. <strong>in</strong> <strong>Hull</strong><br />

Village were acquired many years ago to build the<br />

former Village School. Lemnios said that because the<br />

town purchased the land through a town meet<strong>in</strong>g vote,<br />

a similar vote is required <strong>in</strong> order to sell the property.<br />

Sestito said he would first like to do site visits to<br />

each property to assess their condition and talk with<br />

neighbors. He also said that he would like to hold a<br />

meet<strong>in</strong>g to get the public’s op<strong>in</strong>ion about the potential<br />

sales. Reilly said that if the land is buildable, he<br />

would prefer to go to town meet<strong>in</strong>g to allow the town<br />

to decide what to do with it.<br />

Reilly asked about the cost of apprais<strong>in</strong>g and survey<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the land to get it ready for sale. Lemnios said<br />

that the cost to appraise the land would be approximately<br />

$2,000 and to survey the land would cost between<br />

$2,000 and $3,000.<br />

Brannan said he wants to “move forward and stop<br />

talk<strong>in</strong>g about it.” Lemnios said that there is a process<br />

to follow. Brannan asked about the timeframe. “Let’s<br />

send out a notice to abutters. Let’s not drag this out<br />

for six months,” he said. Reilly reiterated his desire<br />

to br<strong>in</strong>g the matter to town meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

<strong>The</strong> board agreed to put the potential land sales on<br />

the agenda of a future meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

<strong>The</strong> selectmen also announced the resignation of<br />

library trustee Kelly Beazley, and will solicit applicants<br />

to replace her on the board. ∞<br />

Tyrell contract extension<br />

Cont<strong>in</strong>ued from page 1<br />

Longevity bonuses that were part of the previous<br />

agreement were reta<strong>in</strong>ed, however. Tyrell is entitled to<br />

$3,000 per year for years four, five, and six of service;<br />

this is Tyrell’s fourth year as super<strong>in</strong>tendent <strong>in</strong> <strong>Hull</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> longevity pay was <strong>in</strong>cluded because “the Committee<br />

wishes to recognize the value of service provided<br />

by the Super<strong>in</strong>tendent over time,” accord<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

the contract.<br />

<strong>The</strong> salary adjustment was part of the school committee’s<br />

annual review of Tyrell’s performance, Peters<br />

said. <strong>The</strong> committee gave the super<strong>in</strong>tendent high<br />

marks dur<strong>in</strong>g a public session on her evaluation <strong>in</strong> May.<br />

In their review, committee members credited Tyrell<br />

with build<strong>in</strong>g a stronger work<strong>in</strong>g relationship with<br />

the teachers union, with frequent communication and<br />

outreach efforts, with reorganiz<strong>in</strong>g the central office,<br />

and with successfully manag<strong>in</strong>g the school budget.<br />

Peters said the committee’s evaluation followed a<br />

template compiled by the Massachusetts Association<br />

of School Committees, and rated the super<strong>in</strong>tendent’s<br />

relationship with the school committee, community<br />

relations skills, staff relationships, educational leadership<br />

and curriculum coord<strong>in</strong>ation, bus<strong>in</strong>ess and facilities<br />

management, personal qualities, and system<br />

plann<strong>in</strong>g and improvement<br />

“She’s do<strong>in</strong>g a good job, and we made sure that<br />

the public part of this process – her performance review<br />

– was done out <strong>in</strong> the open, so everyone knows<br />

how we came to this decision,” Peters said. “<strong>The</strong> contract<br />

language was confus<strong>in</strong>g, so we wanted to be very<br />

clear on that as well.” ∞<br />

HULL<br />

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK<br />

Compiled from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hull</strong> Beacon<br />

by John J. Galluzzo<br />

SEPTEMBER 23, 1910<br />

• <strong>The</strong> big <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the population of<br />

this town s<strong>in</strong>ce the United States Census<br />

of 1900 is a matter of surprise and<br />

delight to the residents. <strong>The</strong> census of<br />

1900 gave the permanent population of<br />

the town as 1,703; one just taken 3,360,<br />

an <strong>in</strong>crease of 1,657 <strong>in</strong> a decade.<br />

• For nearly three hours Monday afternoon,<br />

freight steamer H.F. Dimock lay<br />

helpless off the entrance to the lower<br />

harbor as a result of trouble with her<br />

boilers. Capt. Crowell sent the <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />

code signal “F.G. N.,” which<br />

means, “send a boat to assist us.”<br />

• <strong>The</strong> signal was seen by the mar<strong>in</strong>e observer<br />

at <strong>Hull</strong>. <strong>The</strong> word was transmitted<br />

to the Mar<strong>in</strong>e Department of the Chamber<br />

of Commerce. At eight o’clock the<br />

tug Mercury took the Dimock <strong>in</strong> tow and<br />

later was assisted by the tug Or<strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />

Dimock arrived at seven last even<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Stony Beach life-sav<strong>in</strong>g crew at<br />

<strong>Hull</strong>, headed by Capt. Sparrow, went to<br />

her assistance, but the Dimock signaled<br />

that the only trouble was with her mach<strong>in</strong>ery.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Dimock has only been <strong>in</strong> commission<br />

a few weeks and she was rebuilt<br />

after be<strong>in</strong>g nearly destroyed <strong>in</strong> the fire<br />

at the Metropolitan docks <strong>in</strong> New York,<br />

early <strong>in</strong> the summer.<br />

• Mr. Mahoney is putt<strong>in</strong>g up a twelvefoot<br />

fence at Surfside and others nearby<br />

are to do the same at once.<br />

• Jack Spr<strong>in</strong>ger, who was seriously <strong>in</strong>jured<br />

a month ago when an automobile<br />

collided with his motorcycle and<br />

knocked him out, has nearly recovered<br />

from his <strong>in</strong>juries.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> “l<strong>in</strong>e gale” sent many cottagers<br />

start<strong>in</strong>g to town who will probably be<br />

back aga<strong>in</strong> when the beautiful breezy<br />

days of late September and October are<br />

<strong>in</strong> evidence.<br />

• Where are the gulls? Those beautiful<br />

creatures of the silver w<strong>in</strong>gs which clean<br />

and glitter <strong>in</strong> their flights through the<br />

year. Perhaps the weather is not rigid<br />

enough to woo them to our shores. Anyway,<br />

very few of them are yet to be seen.<br />

Some falls, Hog Island po<strong>in</strong>t is white<br />

with them.<br />

• This is the time of year when one sees<br />

new and strange faces ’round and about<br />

the beach. Many cottages that have been<br />

given up are now occupied by friends of<br />

the owners, who are hold<strong>in</strong>g a late out<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y certa<strong>in</strong>ly get a good many<br />

charms <strong>in</strong> nature, which the summer<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>gent miss. <strong>The</strong> easy days of the<br />

early fall are like a poetic dream.<br />

• Could anyth<strong>in</strong>g be more suggestive of<br />

paradise than the sunset of last Saturday<br />

when the hills of <strong>Hull</strong> were based <strong>in</strong> resplendent<br />

beauty, while the ra<strong>in</strong>bow of<br />

exquisite perfection spanned the ocean<br />

and the pale moon was fa<strong>in</strong>tly outl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

<strong>in</strong> the afterglow? So rare a picture can<br />

but leave an uplift<strong>in</strong>g impression such<br />

as one feels when stand<strong>in</strong>g spellbound<br />

before that that div<strong>in</strong>ely <strong>in</strong>spired creation,<br />

Hill, are very proud of their sixmonth-old<br />

little daughter, and well they<br />

may be, for she’s a sweet little baby. ∞<br />

THE COLORS OF FALL – Actually, it was still summer when photographer John<br />

Lid<strong>in</strong>gton snapped this photo of a Monarch butterfly <strong>in</strong>vestigat<strong>in</strong>g black-eyed<br />

Susans, butterfly bush, and hydrangeas here <strong>in</strong> <strong>Hull</strong>.<br />

Cool weather is com<strong>in</strong>g, but that is no<br />

reason for us to quit garden<strong>in</strong>g. You can<br />

have a beautiful fall garden very simply if<br />

you know what to plant. Nurseries offer<br />

more <strong>in</strong> the way of cool-weather flowers<br />

and ornamental vegetables and grasses.<br />

Transform your garden from summer<br />

to fall f<strong>in</strong>ery <strong>in</strong> style by plant<strong>in</strong>g annuals<br />

that will add <strong>in</strong>terest and color. Pansies<br />

and lobelia are perfect, as are New<br />

England asters, chrysanthemums, asters,<br />

and jewel-toned ornamental kale, cabbages,<br />

and Swiss chard.<br />

In the perennial border, many plants<br />

still will flower, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Carpathian<br />

harebell, gaillardia, coreopsis, dahlias,<br />

and Carol<strong>in</strong>a phlox. If the plants were<br />

cut back after the first flower<strong>in</strong>g season,<br />

they will reappear this month for a second,<br />

but less spectacular, show.<br />

But for sure, now is the time to look<br />

forward to a colorful spr<strong>in</strong>g by plant<strong>in</strong>g<br />

bulbs like daffodils, iris, tulips, hyac<strong>in</strong>th,<br />

Grecian w<strong>in</strong>dflowers, lilies and just<br />

about any other bulb that can be found<br />

at your local nursery or hardware store.<br />

It is safe to plant any new arrival you<br />

see at your nursery whether it is a bulb,<br />

shrub, vegetable, or flower<strong>in</strong>g plant.<br />

Make sure you do the plant<strong>in</strong>g while the<br />

soil is soft enough.<br />

While enjoy<strong>in</strong>g your still-blossom<strong>in</strong>g<br />

garden, dig and store tender bulbs<br />

like dahlias, cannas, gladioli, and tuberous<br />

begonias, which could be damaged<br />

by w<strong>in</strong>ter cold. ∞<br />
