Today's riddle: How do you know the moon is going broke? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Marblehead's Maria Torres honored for entrepreneurship, community impact (marbleheadcurrent.org) — Marblehead resident and restaurateur Maria Torres has been honored with a 2026 Latino Excellence on the Hill Award for her growing local food businesses and community impact. She owns Maria's Gourmet and Fine Foods in Marblehead, recently took over the beloved Driftwood Restaurant, and has expanded to Swampscott, all while celebrating her Puerto Rican heritage and creating welcoming spaces for North Shore neighbors.
2. Nor'easter batters North Shore, sending sailboats aground in Marblehead (boston25news.com) — Strong winds from a nor'easter are pounding Marblehead, where sailboats have been tossed around near the Boston Yacht Club and at least one washed ashore at Riverhead Beach. Waves are slamming against the Ocean Avenue Causeway, while nearby Nahant has closed beaches to recreation until Tuesday as officials and residents ride out the rough conditions.
3. There are no mulligans in the Dual County League, where several golf contenders are battling it out (bostonglobe.com) — Marblehead High's golf team is off to a perfect 8-0 start, the best record in coach Bob Green's eight seasons, powered by strong leadership from senior captains Tyler Forbes and Greyson Leventhal. Their focused, competitive practices and inclusive team culture are paying off as they emerge as one of the top contenders in a highly competitive Massachusetts high school golf landscape.
4. Coastal Mass. communities enjoy nor'easter sights from beaches (cbsnews.com) — A nor'easter that stretched from Scituate to Marblehead brought dramatic surf and thick sea foam to South Shore beaches, drawing curious onlookers but sparing most residents from major power outages. While Scituate saw waves crashing over seawalls and some brief outages, officials say the storm was milder than feared, though still powerful enough to keep many watching the ocean for days.
