In late 1979, Essex County Newspapers ran a full-page article on a young woman named Roberta (Robey) Benson, a photography student at Goddard College who was working on a photo essay towards her degree.
Benson had a desire to “find out more about fishing and fishermen, especially what makes them keep on going out, day after day after day, despite the constant danger, the drudgery and the high cost of maintaining a boat.” That desire led Benson to Gloucester in the summer of 1979 in search of a fishing vessel to take her out to sea so she could capture and document what a day’s work entailed.

CONWAY Residents at a Planning Board meeting Thursday evening were largely in favor of the changes being considered for the current solar bylaw, such as increasing setbacks and requiring a special permit for arrays over 5 acres.
The bylaw, which was last amended in 2015 as part of a Green Communities grant, does not pertain to residential solar structures or small-scale rooftop solar panels, Planning Board member Mary McClintock clarified. The goal of Thursday’s information session was to get input on concerns that have the potential to impact the community.

Jones had a huge year in 1879, totaling an MLB-best nine home runs to go with 85 runs scored, 62 RBIs and 29 walks in 83 games, all league bests. He would set a new career high for homers in ’83, with 10, though that came during Chester Arthur’s presidency. Hines won the Triple Crown in ’78, when he hit .358 with four home runs and 50 RBIs for the Providence Grays. He led baseball with a .357 batting average the following year, and his career high of 10 homers came in ’87 with the Washington Nationals. A big 1880 season with the Boston Red Stockings helped O’Rourke, a Hall of Famer, finish tied for second during this period.
