Week In Review: July 4 through July 10

This week started with a bang when the annual fireworks display kicked off the week.

Many, including Selectwoman Judy Jacobi, remarked the display was better than years past. The display marked the end of a weekend filled with Fourth of July activities in town.

With the holiday over, it was back to business this week. But it was a little too hot to think business for much of the week as record high temperatures moved into the region.

Residents found ways to keep cool though and local government stepped in to help seniors. Few heat related problems were reported.

On Wednesday, the School Committee made a surprising decision to hire business manager Brian Salzer after throwing his contract out last month.

The decision came as Superintendent Paul Dulac came back from medical leave.

Also this week, the Board of Selectmen moved a step closer to cleaning up the sight of the old lead mills on the Marblehead/Salem border.

The week ended with the Boston Yacht Club's Annual Boat Parade and the Annual Glover Encampment.
