Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• New Salem Affordable Housing Project For Veterans And Seniors Lands $3M In Federal Funding (patch.com) — Salem is moving closer to adding 23 affordable Millville Heights apartments for low- and moderate-income seniors and veterans, backed by a new $3 million federal grant. Local housing officials say the project on Millville Street still needs about $5 million more, even as long wait lists show strong demand from Salem residents seeking stable, accessible housing.
• Lindsay Clancy trial live updates: Jurors sent home early Thursday after 30 minutes of testimony (wiltonbulletin.com) — A Salem resident was among supporters who traveled to Plymouth, Mass., for a pink-clad vigil outside Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial, which saw jurors dismissed early again after just 30 minutes of testimony. The day featured emotional statements about postpartum mental health, a chaplain's account of visiting Clancy in the hospital, and growing crowds rallying quietly outside the courthouse and Tewksbury Hospital. The case continues to draw national attention and debate over mental health care.
• Wowie Kazowie! The Bozo Show (thesomervilletimes.com) — Local readers may enjoy that Bozo the Clown once entertained kids at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, where the writer's children appeared on the outdoor stage in the early 2000s. The piece fondly recalls Boston-area Bozo broadcasts, kids' participation on set, and the lasting nostalgia and memorabilia the character inspired. It's a light look back at a quirky slice of regional TV and amusement park history.
