Regulations governing balloons could be in Swampscott's future

Regulations governing balloons in Swampscott? They may be in the town’s future.   Discussions about balloons among town officials are afoot: A bulleted item “restricting balloons discussions” appeared on the Swampscott Board of Health’s agenda for a July 7 public meeting that ultimately got canceled.    Meanwhile, the Swampscott Conservation Commission has posted an agenda that lists “discussion of use of balloons on town conservation land” for its public meeting on Thursday, July 22.  “The Conservation Commission will be taking up possibly sending a letter to pertinent departments in the schools and in the town about not using balloons on conservation land,” said Toni Bandrowicz, vice chair of the commission and president of the Swampscott Conservancy.

NATURE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: A knotty problem

NATURE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: A knotty problem Toni Bandrowicz In 1930, it was Al Capone. In 1934, John Dillinger. After Dillinger was killed, it was Pretty Boy Floyd and, after him, Baby Face Nelson. They were all listed by the FBI as “Public Enemy No. 1.” The term “Public Enemy” was first used in the 1930s to describe dangerous criminals whose activities were extremely damaging to society. Today we have a dangerous killer in our midst but it’s not a gangster, it’s a plant: Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica). Introduced to the U.S. from eastern Asia in the late-1800s, Japanese Knotweed creates tall dense thickets that shade out all other plant life. It’s literally killing off our native shrubs, trees, and flowers. Loss of native species impacts the insects, birds, and mammals that depend on those plants for food. And that, in turn, ultimately affects us.
