‘End of Summer Bash’ at Hull’s Sunset Point Camp to benefit teen service charity

A non-profit organization dedicated to helping humanity and supporting those affected by poverty will hold its annual End of Summer Bash on Saturday, August 24, from 4 to 8 p.m., at Sunset Point Camp on Tenth Street in Hull. The event will be held rain or shine and all proceeds support mission of the Kerry Jon Walker Funds (KJWF), including service trips for teens supporting sustainable programs that improve the health, education, and economic opportunity of those in need.

A family-friendly evening of delights awaits where attendees can shop for one-of-a-kind African and Navajo gifts at an International Market, bid on unique art, goods, and fun things to do an auction in a festive atmosphere. Purchases make wonderful gifts, support a great cause and may be taken home the same night. Children’s activities including art creation with Hull’s Jeff Menice. Live entertainment by World Music Award winners Kalifa & Koliba, a gourmet picnic catered by Mae’s of Marshfield, and a beer and wine bar are highlights.

KJWF provides financially challenged urban teen students with the opportunity to travel abroad in charitable service. KJWF provides student service trips to Rwanda, where they have assisted 500 orphaned teens at the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village, and to the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. While providing service to these communities, the Boston teens, most never having never traveled far, gain a new understanding of the developing world.

Founded in 2010, KJWF has provided 3,000 lbs. of books, maps, and educational materials, as well as school uniforms, to village schools in Guinea, West Africa. The community ranks among the poorest in the world, home to the region’s most deprived children.

Admission to the End of Summer Bash is $35 in advance; children under 12 attend for free. Admission is payable at the door and at thekerryfund.org.

Police seek woman who drove into restricted area while kids were painting parking spaces

Hull Police are looking to identify the driver of a silver sedan that endangered about 15 students as they were carrying out the Hull High tradition of painting their parking spaces in the lot outside the school with custom messages. 

At about 7:30 p.m., officers were called to the school after a car drove through the yellow caution tape, over traffic cones, paint cans, and the areas of the parking lot that had been painted. The car was driven by what students described as a middle-aged woman with blonde hair, who, according to police, “got out of the vehicle, yelling at the kids and questioning them.” She drove off before the students could get a picture of the license plate, but they said all four tires were smeared with paint. 

The area had been blocked off to traffic and signs were posted about the painting event. Social media posts also warned drivers about the lot closure, which is scheduled to last through Thursday, August 15. 

In his report, Officer Jake Mahoney said the high school’s exterior cameras were unable provide images from the time of the incident. 

Inside the school, the Hull Redevelopment Authority meeting was under way; officers visited the meeting to ask if attendees had information about the car or its driver. 

At presstime, the driver had not been identified. She could be charged with negligent operation, a marked lanes violation, vandalism, and disorderly conduct.

Customer complaints prompt Weir River Water System to improve communication plan

By Carol Britton Meyer 

The Weir River Water System has pledged to improve customer communication in the aftermath of complaints about widespread water discoloration that began June 19 and continued for several days. 

This plan was developed in response to a large number of complaints about how Veolia, the operator of the Weir River Water System, which serves Hingham, Hull, and part of Cohasset, handled notifying customers of the initial discoloration issue and subsequent updates. 

Veolia presented an improved communications plan to the Hingham Select Board – acting as water commissioners – at a meeting Tuesday. 

Communications improvements since June 19 include updating contacts, media outreach – including regional television and online media networks and The Hull Times – collaboration with the WRWS Citizen Advisory Board and community organizations, and posts on social media. Hull Select Board member Brian McCarthy serves as the town’s representative on the advisory board. 

To further improve communication, Veolia is developing a marketing plan to highlight the water company’s efforts – from news, advertising, and bill inserts to print and online marketing and postcard mailings. 

In addition, Veolia has met with the Citizens Advisory Board to develop connections with community organizations that require direct outreach, including seniors, the disabled, medical facilities, schools, and daycare centers. 

The WRWS emergency response plan has also been updated, including municipal contacts. 

Veolia continues to encourage customers to sign up for WRWS alerts and launched a Facebook page as a way to communicate regular and emergency notices systemwide. 

“We’ll use every tool we have to spread the word,” said Christopher Halleron, manager of communications and community relations for Veolia. “It will take the combined effort of all of us.” 

This is a “work in progress, and we’ll see what the feedback is,” said Veolia Regional Vice President John Oatley.

New state law’s impact on Hull’s accessory dwelling unit bylaw remains unclear

By Carol Britton Meyer 

State legislation that allows accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be built as-of-right in single family zoning districts could affect the ADU bylaw approved at Hull’s recent town meeting. 

“In some ways this legislation overrules [our bylaw],” Director of Community Development and Planning Chris DiIorio said, noting that it has not yet been approved by the Attorney General’s office as required in order to enact zoning bylaw amendments. “I’m not sure whether they will kick it back because it’s not in line with the new state law.” 

The planning board met Wednesday night over Zoom to discuss how this could affect Hull’s ADU-related warrant article. 

Two important differences, DiIorio said, are that there is no owner occupancy requirement with the state law, while Hull’s ADU bylaw has one. Also, no special permit process is required under the state legislation, while a special permit is required under the Hull bylaw. 

“This is a pretty big change, and I’m surprised owner occupancy is not required,” he said. “I think this will raise the price of houses, because companies can now buy a house, add a unit, and then rent out both.” 

This legislation, which is part of the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act, requires Massachusetts communities to allow accessory dwelling units of fewer than 900 square feet by right on single-family lots. 

While this legislation is “subject to reasonable regulations related to septic disposal and dimensional requirements” according to a description on Mass.gov, it differs from Hull’s new bylaw in a number of ways in part as outlined above. Construction of ADUs is still subject to local building codes. 

As a result of the passage of the warrant article, the town bylaw now allows certain homeowners of single-family residences to add and rent out a self-contained housing unit within their home, subordinate in size to the principal dwelling, subject to the special permit process. 

State law allows both attached and detached ADUs 

The new state law allows for either attached or detached ADUs and replaces local zoning regulations across the state with a uniform law that allows qualifying homeowners to add these units without requiring a special permit or variance, unless they are seeking to add more than one of these units on their property. 

Hull’s ADU warrant article was part of the effort to increase Hull’s housing stock and to allow those who wish to the opportunity to “age in place” and to benefit from the income generated from an ADU by renting them to family members, caregivers, or other individuals. 

The maximum size of an ADU unit in Hull is 900 square feet. No units may be rented for fewer than six months to resolve short-term vacation rental concerns voiced by some citizens throughout the process. 

“The town can require site plan review for ADUs under the new legislation, so we will have some control over short-term rentals,” DiIorio said. 

Under Hull’s bylaw, ADU units are limited to a maximum of two bedrooms, with one off-street parking space required per bedroom. No exterior stairs to an ADU unit are allowed. 

In Hull, there’s a maximum of 10 permits that could be issued annually over 10 years, for a potential 100 ADUs. Expansion of the single-family home after approval of this bylaw would make the dwelling ineligible for an ADU permit. There are currently 1,300 rental units in Hull. 

“This cap could go out the window [under the new state law],” DiIorio said. 

This change “would theoretically allow ADUs on 1.43 million single-family homes in Massachusetts, though there’s no expectation that all homeowners would create such a unit,” according to the state. 

However, the Healey-Driscoll Administration estimates that between 8,000 and 10,000 ADUs will be built across the state over the next five years due to passage of the law, according to published reports. 

‘Affordable, flexible, age-friendly housing option’ 

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) believes ADUs offer “affordable, flexible, and age-friendly housing options that can be easily integrated into existing neighborhoods. ADUs are cost-effective due to the minimal land costs and have a smaller environmental footprint. They provide a source of income for homeowners, particularly beneficial for retirees, and can be adapted for various family needs and life stages, according to the AARP website. 

DiIorio said the town will consult with its attorney “to get a handle on this issue legally. It doesn’t go into effect for 180 days [from the date it was signed into law in early August], so we have a little bit of time to find out what is going on. There are a lot of unanswered questions.” 

In planning board member Harry Hibbard’s opinion, “There is nothing unreasonable about requiring owner occupancy.” 

DiIorio expressed concern that the Attorney General’s office “might throw the whole thing out,” referring to Hull’s bylaw. “We’ll have to wait and see.”

Work on seawall near lagoon at foot of Allerton Hill begins; traffic detours now in effect

Work on replacing the seawall running along Nantasket Avenue adjacent to the lagoon at the foot of Allerton Hill is under way. 

Modification to the intersection of Beacon Road, Fitzpatrick Way, and Nantasket Avenue is complete, and the town reports receiving positive responses from neighbors. 

Nantasket Avenue has been closed along the seawall. Also off limits is the seawall itself, as the town has requested that pedestrians stay away from the area and do not attempt to walk on the top of the seawall during construction. 

Pulverizing of the existing asphalt was scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 15, and underground utility work will begin next week. 

Regular updates will be posted on the town’s website, www.town.hull.ma.us.

The one that didn’t get away: While fishing at the Gut, campers reel in a Civil War-era cannonball

By John J. Galluzzo 

The sea around Hull continues to give up its secrets. 

“I run a fishing summer camp, a day camp in the mornings,” said Graham Whelan. “We were fishing on the beach behind the seawall at the Gut.” The fish weren’t biting much, as, Whelan said, things slow down when the temperature gets too high. “It was a slow week. Too hot.” 

HAVING A BALL.  Graham Whelan shows off the Civil War-era cannonball discovered during a fishing camp he organized at Hull Gut recently. [Courtesy photo] 

It was a valuable lesson for the kids. Fishing is about much more than tying into the big one. There’s patience. There’s communing with nature, learning to work with it. You don’t have to catch fish to go fishing. 

At one point while out on the beach Whelan found something that looked suspiciously like a cannonball. Some of the kids, who had taken to exploring the beach during slow moments, casually mentioned that they had already seen it a few days earlier.  

“What? And you didn’t tell me about it?” Whelan said. 

“I did some research on my own,” he said. “I started calling all around Boston. I finally got referred to the National Guard Museum.” 

They had answers. 

The report came back in an efficient, almost military style. “Your description of this cannonball indicates it is a 12-pound solid shot, used by the M1857 Napoleon, 12-Pound Field Gun. The Napoleon fired a 12 lb. 5 oz., 4.62-inch diameter shot, very much like yours, so this places the age of the shot in the Civil War era.” This was the most common solid shot projectile of any caliber used during the Civil War by either the U.S. or Confederates. 

Was it fired from Hull? Probably not during the war, but maybe after. The Fort Revere area was only used for signal and communications purposes during the Civil War. No artillery. The most prominent military activity in Hull that could explain the presence of field guns and projectiles was the August 1868 and August 1869 Hull encampments of the First Brigade, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. First Brigade included the First and Second Light Artillery Batteries, which were equipped with 12-pound smoothbore cannons. 

Was it fired from Fort Warren, on Georges Island? One of Hull’s treasured Civil War tales is of the Ladies Aid Society knitting socks in the Village for Hull’s soldiers so vigorously that the sounds of their clicking needles drowned out the sounds of the shots being fired during drills at Fort Warren. But Fort Warren had a notoriously difficult time finding armament. At one point, the Secretary of the Treasury declared that a single ironclad ship sent by the Confederacy could take out the fort. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Wells refused to divert a Union ironclad to the north to protect the fort. Eventually, Massachusetts Governor John Andrew had to purchase guns overseas, fitting out a fort designed for 300 guns with just 97 in 1864. More came in 1865, but so, too, did the end of the Civil War. 

“As to why the shot would have been left in the place you found, it is impossible to know,” continued the report. “Depending on where the guns were emplaced and the direction of their fire, it could have been a short round due to wet powder or mishandling. But this seems unlikely, since they wouldn’t have been firing in the direction of Fort Warren. My best guess would be that it was discarded. It was likely in a fixed ammunition configuration, connected to a sabot [a device which ensures the correct positioning of a bullet or shell in the barrel of a gun, attached either to the projectile or inside the barrel and falling away as it leaves the muzzle] with metal strapping. If any part of that were damaged or loose, it would have been tempting to just throw it away.” 

Maybe it was thrown away then. Maybe it was shot from a cannon and has rolled around the sea floor for 160 years. Most likely, we’ll never really know its history. 

For Whelan, it was the find of a lifetime, so far. Beachcombers find all manner of things on Hull shore’s. Whelan noted bits of ceramics, like old saltshakers. 

“This is by far the biggest thing I’ve ever come across,” he said. 

Select board airs concerns about beach cleanliness, MBTA bus route changes

By Carol Britton Meyer

The select board addressed a full agenda this week, discussing the new MBTA 714 bus schedule, concerns raised at the recent beach management advisory committee forum, and a Weir River Water System update.

While Route 714 bus riders are enjoying the new bigger MBTA buses – with the smaller vehicle used only when necessary – recent changes have been made to the route and schedule.

These include the elimination of the Manet Community Health Center stop to avoid the bus having to stop on George Washington Boulevard and to align better with the ferry schedule.

Eliminating the Manet stop is a major concern, Town Manager Jennifer Constable told the board, with Chair Irwin Nesoff noting that “a lot of people who go to Manet don’t have cars.”

Board member Greg Grey pointed out that rides to Manet may be available through the senior center’s rideshare program.

Ridership on the 714 is up, whether due to the bigger and more comfortable buses or the new MBTA online schedule finder, select board member Brian McCarthy said.

The idea of creating more bus stops and installing covered waiting areas at some locations was also floated.

Another meeting with the MBTA is scheduled for next week, according to Constable.

Visit  www.mbta.com/schedules/714/line to check the Bus 714 Pemberton Point-Station Street, Hingham schedule, including recent changes, a schedule finder that allows riders to choose a direction and an origin stop and to access schedule information and real-time departure predictions, as well as a PDF of schedules and route maps.

Water company working on communication

McCarthy, a member of the Weir River Water System Citizen Advisory Board, also reported that efforts to enhance communication with ratepayers is in the works.

Those experiencing water quality issues – including brown water – can report them by emailing waterquality@weirriverwater.com, while those seeking abatements for extra water used while flushing out the water in their pipes during the widespread discoloration issue earlier this summer can email abatements@weirriverwater.com.

In other news, McCarthy and fellow board member Jerry Taverna attended Monday’s beach management advisory forum and both reported hearing numerous complaints about the condition of the beaches.

“This doesn’t put the town in a good light,” McCarthy said. “We really need to keep our eyes on how we will [arrange for] a spring cleanup of the winter debris that accumulates from April 1 through August 30, when the Audubon Society does not allow vehicles on the beach due to the presence of piping plovers. Town officials need to work better to make the beach top-notch.”

McCarthy also reported that committee chair Susan Mann plans to find out if beach cleaning would be allowed prior to August 30 this year, with the safety of the plovers a top priority.

Concerns expressed about condition of the beach

Taverna noted that there “were some angry people” who expressed concern about the state of the beach. He gave an example of a large truck tire that had become embedded in the mud at low tide.

“People were asking why we don’t have a policy in place to clean up the beach,” he said.

One option to help the situation, Taverna suggested, is for Department of Public Works crews to walk the beach throughout the summer to manually remove debris if necessary.

“There are people who have bought expensive homes and want to invite their friends and family to enjoy the beach but say they are embarrassed by its condition,” he said.

At the end of the day, Taverna said, “we need to look at these and other issues as a board.”

A committee discussion will be part of an upcoming agenda.

In other business at the meeting, 50-year resident Philip Bellone, who earlier served on the zoning bylaw committee, was appointed as an alternate on the zoning board of appeals to fill a vacancy.

Also, Constable told The Hull Times in response to an email, that the light board recently approved the use of the townwide generators for another season, from October/November through March 2025, to protect residents from potential lengthy National Grid power outages.

Salt Water Club hosts a day on the water for Pappas Hospital children and young adults

By Carol Britton Meyer

The Nantasket Beach Salt Water Club hosted 15 children and young adults from Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children last Saturday for a special event featuring lobster boat rides around the harbor, a view of a Boston fire boat and a state police boat offshore, and a cookout.

A highlight of the adventure was a state police motorcycle escort from the hospital to the club.

NBSWC member Ray Jackman, who has worked at Pappas for the past 30 years – before he retired and now part-time – arranged for cookouts in the past in cooperation with the club. They were so successful that offering an expanded event in 2023 and this year was the natural outcome.

“Club members wanted to do something bigger and better, so now we plan to do it every year,” he said.

The Canton-based hospital, formerly the Massachusetts Hospital School, provides medical, rehabilitative, educational, recreational, transitional, and complementary alternative medical services to children and young adults ages 7 to 21-plus with multiple disabilities. PRHC, an accredited pediatric chronic care hospital, helps patients achieve their optimal level of independence in all aspects of life.

Friendships formed

“It’s a great event hosted through the club, with local lobstermen donating their time,” Jackman said. “There’s a nice relationship between club members and Pappas, where friendships are formed and families are welcome to attend, with everyone just hanging out together.“

Participating lobster boat captains were Tim Walsh, Sean McMullen, Chad Mahoney, Ron Patuto, and Eric Meschino.

It’s a nice experience when families attend these events together, “because due to some of their medical needs, it’s sometimes difficult for parents to take their kids out into the community,” he explained. “To me, it’s about kids being kids. It’s nice that the Salt Water Club has been so giving and welcoming and that the kids and club members have such a connection and know each other by name. They truly care about each other.”

‘It’s quite a partnership’

Jackman has arranged “for the Pappas kids to come to our club over the past few years,” NBSWC Director Jim Reichardt told The Hull Times. “It’s quite a partnership.”

The NBSWC also sponsors birthday and Christmas parties and other events for Pappas children and young adults, and is hosting cookouts every Tuesday throughout the summer.

The Nantasket Beach Salt Water Club, with a membership of about 250, started out as a boating club and evolved over the years into a boating and social club that supports many local causes, from the schools to families in the community in need of assistance to Pappas events, Jackman said.
