Plymouth Prepares for Sandy

The Plymouth DPW will be open Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon to residents needing sandbags and other supplies.

Plymouth officials are urging residents to plan for widespread power outages, a high storm surge, and flooding in low-lying areas between Monday evening and Wednesday as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast. Emergency Management Director Aaron Wallace said residents should begin to plan for what could be a widespread wind-driven power outage event due to the conditions associated with this storm. All residents should be reviewing the inventory of their emergency disaster supply kits by logging on to www.ready.gov. Residents and their families who care for young children or persons with special medical or functional needs, may need to take additional steps to protect themselves and prepare for post-storm care and support.

How Many Millionaires Live in Plymouth?

One in every 2,258 Plymouth taxpayers reported income more than $1 million in 2010.

Like the Barenaked Ladies said in their hit song, If I Had Million Dollars... ...I'd be one of 25 taxpayers in Plymouth who made at least a million dollars in 2010." OK, so those weren't the actual lyrics of the song. But they are the actual numbers in a searchable database in the Boston Business Journal. Greater Boston’s suburbs to the west are among the state’s wealthiest, the Boston Business Journal reported, citing state tax data on millionaire filers in 2010. Weston tops the list with one millionaire filer for every 27 residents.  Plymouth's number of millionaire filers is ranked 173rd out of 351 cities and towns in the state, with one millionaire filer per every 2,258 residents. The average reported income for every millionaire filer…

162 Animals Seized in Manomet Cruelty Case

Three Plymouth residents pleaded not guilty to animal cruelty charges after police raided their Manomet home in June and found a "menagerie" of 162 animals at the home in deplorabe conditions.

Three Plymouth residents face animal cruelty charges after police raided their Manomet home in June and found a "menagerie" of 162 animals at the home in deplorabe conditions. Kelley Fahey, 23, Mark Luciano, 39, and Evelyn Luciano, 77, of Indian Avenue, were arraigned Wednesday and released on personal recognizance. The Animal Rescue League of Boston removed 162 animals including dogs, goats, turkeys, rabbits, chickens, ducks, pheasants, quails, a calf and a young ram. Police say many of the animals were undernourished, had mites, lice, and skin diseases. The ram had not been sheared and was suffering in the heat. According to WHDH, Luciano's son says his family members used the animals as life stock, using them for food. Mark Luciano said…

The familys situation seems to be a botched attempt at homesteading. However the condition of the home and yard is defiled and frightening. The living conditions for the animals and people are unacceptable, particularly for the child. I have visited this house and it is an utter disaster. Broken wondows taped up, a tarp on the roof presumeably covering roof leaks and boards nailed up over other …   more ›

Five Things You Need to Know Today, Dec. 13

No snow, The Golden Hind, teen writers, stamp collectors and All That Jazz.

1. Don't worry. Did you notice that haze around the moon last night? According to the National Weather Service, it doesn't mean rain or snow...yet. They say to expect sun, a high of 47 and a stiff breeze from Beantown. We have a slight - 20 percent - chance of precipitation tonight. It could fall as snow. The DPW has dumped four loads of salt sand at each of the transfer stations for the use of residents. But, I wouldn't worry much about snow this winter. My boys bought me a really nice snow blower. I expect, prepared as I am, the machine will remain in the garage most of the winter. Just for added insurance against severe snow, I have one of those crank-powered emergency radios. Balmy. 2. Recall every elementary school boy's favorite ship…
