A Deafening Quiet

St Brigid's Church, UMass Library, Grad Research Tower

No noise, nuisance, open container, or unlicensed keg tickets issued over the weekend by APD despite Saturday night being about as gorgeous as New England weather allows.  Of course after Friday's graduation ceremony UMass students vacated the area almost as quickly as firefighters responding to a major structure fire.

AFD weekend calls to UMass were down to almost zero compared to 26 over Patriots Day weekend--many of those alcohol related.

And that other more serious problem with alcohol will not go away over the summer, as APD did make three arrests over the weekend for Driving Under the Influence, each one a potential killer.

Alex Marchegiani, 77 Martin Ave, N Andover, Ma, age 23 OUI liquor, 2nd offense
Amy Cheesman, 11 South Valley Rd, Pelham, Ma, age 25, OUI liquor, leaving scene of accident
Brenda Lee Anderson, 11 Gromacki Ave, S. Deerfield, Ma, age 54, OUI liquor, marked lane violation

Larry, Why the construction stand still for the rd. project near Atkins?

I think they were waiting for all the students to leave.

Larry...I'm wondering how did you get that photo? Taken from the top of a ladder during AFD Open House maybe?

You have nothing to write about now that the college students are gone. Clearly Amherst is boring without us.

No, clearly Amherst is peaceful without you.

Hallelujah.
