#NewburyportMA: They can fix it: Annual spring #RepairCafe returning soon
By Jim Sullivan | Mar 20, 2025
NEWBURYPORT — "Folks hoping to get their bicycles fixed, their garden tools sharpened or even their house lamps mended should visit the Newburyport Senior/Community Center on Saturday, April 5, for the Time Trade Network of Greater Newburyport’s annual spring Repair Café.
"Taking place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the free event features over 30 local volunteers adept at tinkering with small appliances, textiles, jewelry, bikes, small wooden items and even mechanical clocks.
"Knife sharpening, as well as garden hand tool sharpening along with some expert advice on chair caning will also be offered.
"'We want to encourage people to have their items repaired instead of putting them into the waste stream,' event organizer Elizabeth Marcus said. 'They can also get to see just how easy and fun it can sometimes be.'
"The #TimeTradeNetwork of Greater Newburyport is a group of local volunteers willing and eager to share their knowledge as well as talents with one another.
At the Repair Café, people can bring up to three small, clean items then watch while each is repaired on the spot."

Pretty hard to evacuate if the roads are flooded! Or if it's summer tourist season!
Mass. and N.H. Release Updated #SeabrookNuclearPowerPlant Emergency Guides
WHAV News Staff By WHAV News Staff | January 8, 2024
"#Massachusetts and #NewHampshire have both released updated brochures to guide residents in the event of an emergency at the Seabrook nuclear power plant.
"Each state outlines its own communities and emergency plans and procedures for its portion of the 10-mile radius emergency planning zone. New Hampshire communities are #BrentwoodNH, #EastKingstonNH, #ExeterNH, #GreenlandNH, #HamptonNH, #HamptonFallsNH, #KensingtonNH, #KingstonNH, #NewCastleNH, #NewfieldsNH, #NewtonNH, #NorthHamptonNH, #PortsmouthNH, #RyeNH, #SeabrookNH, #SouthHamptonNH and #StrathamNH. In Massachusetts, they are #AmesburyMA, #MerrimacMA, #NewburyMA, #NewburyportMA, #SalisburyMA and #WestNewbury. While a small portion of #HaverhillMA falls within the 10-miles radius and the city borders a number of the communities within the zone, no specific evacuation plans are listed for the city.
"Methuen is also not within the zone, but Methuen High School would accept Amesbury students in the event of an emergency.
"Brochures tell parents, for example, where their children in schools or day care centers will be taken in an emergency and where 'reception centers' are located in the event of an emergency. For example, West Newbury parents are directed to Tewksbury High School, while if evacuation is required, the Masconomet Reception Center, 20 Endicott Road, Boxford, will open to receive, register, monitor and decontaminate (if necessary) evacuees and their vehicles. Evacuation routes for each community are also listed.
"According to a Friday press release from the New Hampshire Department of Safety, the updated brochure details the four emergency classification levels and instructions to be followed in the event one is declared. It lists the ways in which residents, business and visitors may be notified of a potential event at Seabrook Station and what to do during a shelter-in-place or evacuation."
