Abington native shares experiences in the rock business

Approved by both branches of the Legislature on July 3, the fiscal 2009 state budget includes a provision protecting public services at Ames Nowell State Park for the duration of the summer.

It has always been a treat for me to spend my Friday evenings in the summer, sitting by the ocean in Scituate and listening to a band perform. 

Folktales from the Forest, storytelling around the campfire with Andrea Lovett, will take place at 7 p.m., on Saturday, July 19, at Ames Nowell State Park, 739 Linwood St., Abington. A second storytelling will take place at 7 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 9. Those attending can bring their own marshmallows.

Every week, citizens living in Massachusetts throw away enough paper to fill Fenway Park up to the top of the Green Monster.
