The Media Mavens are celebrating each other and other female artists.
Who are the Media Mavens? An all female group of Melrose artists who join together to celebrate women empowerment and art.
The group was founded in 2015 by Melrose resident Sue Dragoo Lembo, after she heard of a group of female painters on the South Shore called “Girls Just Wanna Paint.” The group of 12 artists, which was eventually renamed to the Media Mavens, decide on a theme, project, or challenge to create, and then join together to present and share their artwork.

The Nevada County board of supervisors approved five individuals to serve as mediators in cases where medical marijuana growers want to appeal an order from the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office to abate their grow operation.
The appointment will pave the way for the administrative process necessary to enforce the controversial medical marijuana ordinance, passed by the board of supervisors in May.
Under the ordinance, the NCSO is empowered to serve abatement notices requiring property owners growing medical marijuana to destroy their plants or alter the grow operation enough to be in compliance with the regulations.
If a property owner receives a “Notice to Abate” and feels the notice is in error, he has the right to file an appeal, which is heard by a “hearing officer.”
