NEW DUMPSTER REGULATIONS
September 26, 2010
The Board of Health has issued new dumpster regulations for residents and business owners. Under the town regulations, trash receptacles larger than 100 gallons on residential property require a permit, granted upon review by the Health Board. Fees for the permit range from $25 to $100, based on how many 90-day terms are required by the applicant. Commercial dumpster permits, also issued by the Board of Health, cost $25 per year. Dumpster permits for municipal departments incur no fees.

A New Hampshire man got a dangerous surprise when he tossed a bag of trash into the dumpster outside his apartment Sunday night: He startled a large black bear, which slashed his arm before it escaped. Jeff Allard of North Conway received 16 stitches after the encounter with the adult bear, said Andrew Timmins, a bear biologist with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Allard, 37, said the bear was hidden in the dumpster, and it probably heard him coming. Allard said he believed he must have hit the bear with the bag he tossed into the bin at about 9:30 p.m. The bear’s head…

Back in May, I wrote a story about the RV culture out in southern Utah, where vacationers get 7 miles to the gallon driving their motor coaches between national parks that are home to hoodoos and slick-rock. Got this e-mail response from Paul in Hingham: ‘‘How can you be so cavalier in your endorsement of a pastime that is recklessly indifferent to any notion of environmental responsibility or accountability? Maybe next you should do a feel good piece on baby seal hunting or the good old days of untreated sewage.’’ Paul may be encouraged by another…

We wish we had time to hang around a trash bin behind a coffee shop and meditate on music, philosophy, and other stuff (maybe before we’re sent to the home). Two 30-something dropouts in Shirley, Vt., have the time, and when they are asked to relocate, they actually ask a teenage employee to join them. Company One’s comic, beat-tinged, psychotropic journey, “The Aliens,’’ by Annie Baker is part of the Shirley, VT Plays Festival. Pictured (from left): Nael Nacer, Jacob Brandt, and Alex Pollock.

We also disagree with the New York Post, whose negative review of “The Fighter’’ is worth mentioning, if only because it’s funny. Of Bale, who plays Micky Ward ’s half-brother Dicky Eklund , and Melissa Leo , who plays their mom, the Post writes, “[they] turn the movie into a white-trash Dumpster dive for lowlife looky-loos, full of scorn and mockery for these types but innocent of any subtlety or attempt to understand.’’ Even harsher is the critique of Ward’s seven sisters.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — What is all the fuss about? It seems that hardly a day goes by without The New York Times (“Literary Agents Move to Brooklyn’’), New York magazine (“Old Time Brooklyner Hopes Hipsters Choke on Williamsburg-themed Cigarettes’’) or National Public Radio (effusive slatherings over HBO’s funny-but-not-all-that-funny Brooklyn comedy “Bored to Death’’) trumpeting the cultural superiority of Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Bushwick, Fort Greene, and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

HOLBROOK — Every Wednesday night, packs of treasure-seekers and bargain-hunters drive down Route 37 to Kelley Auction Gallery, where they jockey to find a decent parking spot. They walk around the building and go through the back door, which leads to a warehouse filled with an eclectic assortment of furniture, toys, paintings, figurines, postcards, baseball cards, coins, pocket watches, and postage stamps. Knickknacks fill the tables. Stacks of books sit on shelves. In a matter of hours, all of it is sold on the auction block to the highest bidder.

The thing about boxing movies is that they’re never really about the boxing. They’re about everything else the fighter has to contend with: family, friends, anger, addictions, the often-corrupt machinery of professional sports, the body’s failure in the face of age and abuse. David O. Russell’s “The Fighter’’ is no different. Otherwise it would place Micky Ward’s legendary 2002-2003 trio of fights with Arturo Gatti at the center of the movie instead of relegating them to a mention just before the end credits roll.
