Archaeological Rediscovery Project and the
Friends of Burial Hill are continuing their examinations of Plymouth’s Burial Hill.
Using the latest modern technology such ground penetrating radar (GPR) we are
able to “see” what may lie beneath Burial Hill. Craig Chartier, Director and Principal Archaeologist of PARP will discuss the results of our latest
survey done over the
summer .
Craig will be joined by Russell Kempton of New England Geophysical to

Pilgrim Hall Museum lectures
Pilgrim Hall Museum, located at 75 Court St., will offer a new series of evening lectures in October, featuring authors, local historians and even some historical music. Rockland Trust is the series sponsor. The lectures take place Wednesdays, with coffee and refreshments at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture at 7. A $5 donation per person is suggested.
Oct. 29: Stephen O’Neill, associate director/curator of Pilgrim Hall Museum, will present “Where the Bodies Are: Pilgrim Graves and Burying Grounds.” More than 200 people immigrated to Plymouth Colony between 1620 and 1623, yet only a very few of them have graves marked with original gravestones. This illustrated lecture will examine the possibilities of where most of the first settlers were buried.
Those with questions about Pilgrim Hall Museum’s October Lecture Series can call the museum at 508-746-1620, ext. 7. For more information, see www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org.

You Can't Take It With You Performance
Do you have your tickets yet? It's only a week until You Can't Take It With You opens at The Spire! The show runs October 17-19 and 24-26 at The Spire Center for the Performing Arts at 25 ½ Court St., Plymouth, MA.
You Can't Take It With You is a warm and funny family comedy written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. One
of the most popular comedies in America, the production will finally
come to Plymouth - America's Hometown - with a hilarious ensemble cast
ready to light up the stage at The Spire. It's all about the wild and
wonderful Sycamore family household during the late 1930's. Presiding
happily over the household is Grandpa Vanderhof - and it's pretty much a
do-what-you-want, no-questions-asked, kind of place, with mothers and
fathers, daughters and sons-in-laws, boyfriends, assorted boarders,
maids, and eccentric visitors populating the stage.
Michael
Pevzner of Kingston will direct the production. Pevzner has been acting
and directing with South Shore theater companies since the 1970's. A
native New Yorker and graduate of New York's School of Performing Arts
and Boston's Emerson College, Pevzner was a professor and Director of
Fine Arts at Massasoit Community College for 30 years. He has directed
often for the Bay Players of Duxbury, Curtain Call Theatre in Braintree,
and Nemasket River Productions in Middleboro. This is Pevzner's first
time directing for PCT, but he has previously appeared on stage in PCT's
productions of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and this summer's Sizzling Summer Shorts.
The large cast of You Can't Take It With You includes talented actors from across southeastern Massachusetts, including
Marnie Almirall, Edward Dowling, Bill Driscoll, Phil Hebert, and
Marianne Withington, all of Plymouth, Margaret O'Brien of Abington, Ted
Lillys of Duxbury, Frank Piekut of Hanover, Brendon Auld and Kelly Auld
of Holbrook, Paul McCuen of Marshfield, Robin Richard of New Bedford,
Christopher Cartier of Pembroke, Brittany Foley of Quincy, Nancy
Sparklin of Rochester, Jane Cartier of West Bridgewater, and Brian
Hurley and Ed Krasnow of Weymouth. Full cast bios and headshots are available on our website at www.plymouthcommunitytheatre.net!

Street in Plymouth. The show will run for two weekends, Friday through
Sunday, October 17-19 and 24-26. Friday and Saturday shows start at
8:00pm and Sunday performances start at 7:00pm.

Town of Plymouth Residential Smoke Detector Recycling Program
Residential smoke detectors are common
household items. There are two types of
smoke detectors, and both use different technologies to detect smoke. Ionization smoke detectors use a small
radioactive source (Americium-241) as a key component in detecting smoke
particles, while photoelectric smoke detectors use a light and sensor to detect
smoke. Given that a small amount of radioactive
material is found in many residential smoke detectors, the Department of Public
Works is starting a new recycling program that will accept ionization smoke
detectors. To keep trace radioactive
materials out of the environment, DO NOT
dispose of smoke detectors in the orange trash bags that you bring to the
Manomet Transfer Station for disposal.
Instead, bring the used smoke detector to the Manomet Transfer Station
and an attendant will accept it- at no cost to you- to be recycled.
For more information about this policy or
about how to handle residential smoke detectors when they are ready to be
disposed of please call Greg Smith, Solid Waste Manager, at 508-830-4162x100 or
gsmith@townhall.plymouth.ma.us
