Article from WHDH- “How Does Massachusetts Decide Who Gets Summoned For Jury Duty?”

How Does Massachusetts Decide Who Gets Summoned For Jury Duty ?

Maybe this scenario sounds familiar to you. You’ve been summoned for jury duty — like two or three times in the past few years. But your, say, spouse, sibling, coworker? Not a single summons. This happened to Pepperell resident Carrie Powanda-Croft, who reached out to the Curiosity Desk to ask why.

I’m curious about the process for being selected for jury duty. How does that work in Massachusetts? Why is it that some people seem to get called more often than others?

For answers, I went straight to the source: Pamela J. Wood, Jury Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Wood and her 30-person team are responsible for keeping the state’s court system well-stocked with qualified, potential jurors. So, how do they pick ‘em?

BEAUTIFUL CAPE ANN WINTER WILDLIFE UPDATE

Our shores abound with wonderful wild creatures we more often see in wintertime, and species we can view better because the trees are bare. The duo of male American Wigeons are still here, as are the pair of Pipits. I watched yesterday afternoon as the Pipits flew away from the beach in unison, and then returned together about twenty minutes later to continue to forage in the seaweed and sand.

It’s easier to catch a glimpse of a Downy Woodpecker pecking and a wasp nest in the tangle of thickets when viewed through naked limbs and branches.

The Harbor Seals are seen almost daily. One day last week 24 were present!

A sleepy-eyed female Common Eider was peacefully resting on the beach. I know she was okay because on our way back she slipped back into the surf.

Red-breasted Merganser

And that’s our Charlotte, my favorite wild one, and ever at the ready to go exploring. After we get dressed in the morning she chortles, “Now I’m ready for action Mimi.”

What to do with all your boxes, another reason why I like to shop locally.

We always shop locally most of the time but with our company Circle Consulting Group sometimes we have to order from Amazon for computer parts such as hard drives, certain cables, etc.  so we have many Amazon Boxes.  Here is something you can do to dispose of them properly.

Rockport Middle School Serious Physical Assault

unnamed

Good Morning this is Robert Liebow Superintendent of Schools. I am calling today to inform you that there was a serious physical assault in the middle school hallway this morning before school started which involved two middle school students. One student has been transfered to the hospital and the other student is in police custody at this time. Rockport police are here at the school and have determined that it is safe to continue with school today. They will be here throughout the day today. Of course as parents you have the right to dismiss your students as you see fit. I will contact you again later today as more details become available.
