Roads closed and backyards left flooded with water following nor'easter in Norwell
Cleanup is underway in Norwell, Massachusetts after Thursday's nor'easter caused power outages, shut down roads and left some backyards looking like lakes. "A lot of thunder, lightning went on for 15 20 minutes. The house was shaking, actually," said one resident. Roads remain closed On Friday, several roads were shut down because of water gushing over them, making them unsafe. "There's a strong possibility that the water has actually undermined this full travel lane, so until the water recedes and I can assess the condition of the material under the roadway, travel will not be allowed to go through here," said Shane Jokey, the Highway, Tree and Grounds Assistant Director in Norwell. Yards became rivers after residents said about 5 to 6 inches of rain came down in a short period of time. "We've never seen water even close to this," said Norwell resident Scott Davidson. Creek overflows, flooding backyard Davidson said his backyard got buried after Wildcat Creek, which runs behind his house, overflowed. He went out in his backyard on a kayak Friday morning. Dave and his buddy were busy shoring up a 40-year-old bridge that nearly washed away, leaving behind giant sinkholes in his driveway, making it impassable. "The water should run through the culverts but once it moved, it can go between the culverts and then it just kept washing it out," said Dave. Over in Hanover, power crews worked feverishly to restore the power for the 200 customers who lost electricity during the storm. "Really, this was the spot," said Hanover Town Manager Joe Colangello. "It does kind of beg the question was it just wind or was there some lightning involved, right at this location, that also kind of moved the power lines."

No New Spending Announced For Primary Care In Budget 2025
Press Release – ProCare Health Leading healthcare provider, ProCare, has called today's Budget extremely disappointing for primary care, with no new spending announced. While the Budget document touts a significant investment of $440.7 million over five years, the reality is that none of that is new money. Bindi Norwell, CEO at ProCare says: 'Whist we acknowledge and welcome the pre-announced money which will help improve access, retention, and performance in general practice; the Government has not further invested in the wider primary care system as was anticipated by the sector. 'Last year's commitment to health care barely covered inflation and population growth, let alone addressing the issues we have with an aging population. This year's new commitment is a paltry sum with additional requirements, that in real terms suggests the government investment in primary care is going backwards. 'While our colleagues in secondary care will likely be welcoming the announcement, particularly the infrastructure investment for new hospitals, the reality is that primary care is once again missing out. Primary care has been underfunded for years now and is in desperate need of a significant funding investment,' continues Norwell. 'It's integral to invest in preventative care to keep people out of hospitals. Research shows that every dollar invested in general practice saves around $13 to $15 in secondary healthcare costs. Not investing more seems counter-intuitive to keeping our population well and to saving money in the long run,' points out Norwell. 'Today's announcement will likely hit consumers hard, as practices will likely need to increase their fees again to cover the costs of keeping the lights on and paying their staff,' concludes Norwell. About ProCare ProCare is a leading healthcare provider that aims to deliver the most progressive, pro-active and equitable health and wellbeing services in Aotearoa. We do this through our clinical support services, mental health and wellness services, virtual/tele health, mobile health, smoking cessation and by taking a population health and equity approach to our mahi.

Massachusetts native Jennifer Coolidge tells Emerson College graduates, "friggin' go for it"
Massachusetts native Jennifer Coolidge returned to her alma mater Emerson College Sunday to deliver the commencement address for the Class of 2025. Coolidge, who grew up in Norwell, told the graduates she was a "very strange kid" and advised parents to not worry about their children succeeding. She said when she was in first grade, she participated in field day and her teacher explained to the whole class how to do the obstacle course. "When the gun went off, I ran like hell," said Coolidge, who said she crossed the finish line ahead of the fastest girl in school. "I was so elated that I won and to me, it meant that I was going to get the blue ribbon. And then the teacher came up to me and told me that I didn't win the blue ribbon because I was disqualified. And it turns out, I had skipped all the obstacles." She said her classmates made fun of her and remarked that it sounded "meaner" because they all had strong Boston accents. "Just friggin' go for it" Coolidge said this made her live completely in her head and decide "you just have to have insane expectations and believe they're going to come true." She said this led her to want to become Queen of Monaco because her mother had a magazine with Grace Kelly on the cover. She used this to share a message with the Class of 2025. "When you find the thing that you want to do, I really want to highly recommend, just friggin' go for it." "Don't listen to the people who mess up the real story that you've got going," said Coolidge. "You really have to be your own champion." Coolidge said she brought up the obstacle course story to reiterate "it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks or says. When it comes to the obstacle course of your life, you have to find your own path. And you can't perfectly plan it out from the beginning. Part of directing your life is just letting it unfold. So let it." Coolidge ended her speech by quoting Elle Woods, "my co-partner in crime," from the movie "Legally Blonde" by saying, "we did it!" Who is Jennifer Coolidge? Coolidge is best known for the HBO TV series "The White Lotus," for which she won two Emmys and a Golden Globe. In addition to "Legally Blonde," she's also appeared in the "American Pie" movie series, "Best In Show" and most recently "A Minecraft Movie." In 2023, Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals crowned Coolidge their Woman of the Year. The same year, she made the cover of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People.
