Randy Parrott

It has been two years since Parrott fell five stories while on assignment in Italy, losing 90 percent of his blood on the pavement. After over 30 hours of surgery to his face, and just as much on his leg, he continues his recovery.

Barrels and Rocks

Survey reveals no need to ‘roll out the barrels,’ but rocks irk beach users


When voters at the spring town meeting defeated a proposal to fund the familiar green trash barrels that dotted the beachscape curve, some residents predicted that Hull’s “carry in-carry out” trash policy would result in beaches overrun with garbage.

Thus far, most of those predictions have not come true. In fact, during a survey of the beach this past weekend, residents and visitors found it to be remarkably tidy.

Rocky road – Although the town cannot remove rocks from the beach, residents have found ways to make the path to the water easier to navigate. [Lucy Wightman photo]
