When Brian and Jenn Deegan’s daughter, a freshman volleyball player, suffered a concussion during practice in October, she was cleared within a week to return to school. Though she still wasn’t feeling up to par, her parents felt the doctor’s OK meant she was ready. Meanwhile, she had been tested by Dr. Janet Kent, medical director of rehabilitation services at the Sports Concussion Clinic at South Shore Hospital, using Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (imPACT), which evaluated the teen’s verbal and visual memory, processing speed and reaction time. |

Community newspaper icon and Express publisher David S. Cutler died on Sunday after a battle with cancer. Cutler was only seven years old when his parents, John and Roberta, started the Duxbury Clipper on their dining room table. But it sparked a lifelong passion for journalism, and community news in particular, that would lead him to publish dozens of newspapers across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut, including the Pembroke Mariner and later the Pembroke Express, which was founded by his son Josh. |

For the best ski deal we’ve found all year (and we’re bargain-hunters extraordinaire), we suggest you pack your ski gear and a light wallet and head for Black Mountain, nestled in the heart of New Hampshire’s Presidential Mountain range. Ski for free any day after 2 p.m. with the purchase of a full-price, next day lift ticket. Or how about a weekend rate of $99 for two adults and two juniors? Black’s “Family Passport” was rated “Best Bargain” two years in a row by SKI Magazine. It gets even better if you go during the week. And these ticket prices are not gimmicks just because Black recently celebrated their 75th birthday. Affordability has always been at the forefront of what this mountain is all about. |

Three months after the town opted not to push a zoning change limiting where body piercing and tattoo studios are allowed in Pembroke, the issue is back before the Planning Board. This time, however, officials are looking to expand the allowable area to include more than just the “adult use” zone in the northeast corner of town. |

Every 500 sheets of paper you use is the same, energy wise, as burning two gallons of gas. So an effective way to fight climate change and air pollution while moving toward energy independence and helping save the forests is to go paperless. |

Grocery shopping is a necessary task and a large part of most monthly budgets. This is part one of a two-part series on how to save money on your food bill. First, we tackle grocery shopping. I have followed these steps carefully over the last few months and have saved hundreds of dollars each month. At first, it was laborious, but after a few short weeks, following these steps had become routine and I became a smarter shopper with more money in the bank. A little effort goes a long way. Part two will offer strategies for cooking well on less money. |
