Hockomock Area YMCA Holding Sunday Open House - Feb 15th

The Hockomock Area YMCA welcomes everyone in the community to visit its facilities in North Attleboro, Franklin, and Foxboro on Sunday February 15 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm to join free introductory youth classes run by expert YMCA coaches in the Sports, Gymnastics, Enrichment, and Dance programs. In addition, families will enjoy free Open Swim, Child Watch, Kids Gym, and more. This afternoon of family time is designed to support the Y’s belief that healthy living has as much to do with pursuing interests, passions and learning new things as it does with eating healthy and being active.

“We’re here to surround every child with support, guidance and fantastic chances to discover and learn,” says Jim Downs, VP of Operations. Whether you’re a current YMCA member and want to try something new or prepare for spring swim lessons by being assessed in the water, or you’ve never visited, you will be made to feel welcome.

Half hour classes running throughout the afternoon will include those in Sports like parent-child All-Star Kids and Basketball Skills; in Gymnastics and Dance, including Boys Super Heroes and Princess Dance; and in Arts & Enrichment, including Me, Mommy & Music, Youth Cooking, and Little Wizards. All in the community are invited to attend and sample a variety of the programs available year-round at the Hockomock Area YMCA.

The Y is about youth development: we strive to help children and teens reach their full potential by helping them grow—physically, mentally and socially—from young children into engaged, active members of their communities.

“This event is a great way for kids who have never been in the water or in a sports class to get comfortable with the experience and to begin to develop life skills and interests,” says Downs. “Or, if your child wants to try a new program, you’ll find dozens of options in a fun, supportive environment,” he adds.

Through Y programs, kids have the opportunity to find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And, of course, it’s fun too.

“Over the years, thousands of children have learned lifelong skills at the Y and we are proud to continue to make events like this available,” Downs says. “It’s really part of the important role the Y plays in our community.”

Call or stop by to pick up a schedule of classes that will be offered for kids, age 18 months – 14 years. Signups will be available starting at 12:30 pm on the day of the event.

News from Norfolk County Registry of Deeds

	Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
	O'Donnell Reports on Jan '15 Real Estate Activity Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell reported a mixed bag when it came to real estate activity in Norfolk County for the opening month of January 2015. "On one hand, the lending market had some respectable numbers," Register O'Donnell noted, "January 2015 saw a 19% increase in the number of mortgages recorded. These positive numbers were spurred by continuing low interest rates and an improved economy in eastern Massachusetts," noted Register O'Donnell. However, the number of land documents recorded in Norfolk County this January remained basically flat, totaling 10,040, a 1% decrease from January 2014 numbers. Additionally, the total volume of commercial and residential real estate prices fell 13% in January 2015 compared to the same time last year. Compounding this slide was that average sale price of commercial and residential property fell by 15% to $656,328 based on real estate sold in January 2015 compared to the same time last year. These numbers were somewhat skewed due to two big commercial real estate transactions that took place in Braintree and Brookline in January of 2014. Register O'Donnell also reported that the total number of deeds recorded declined by a modest 5% in January 2015 compared to January of last year. A total of 1,006 deeds were recorded in Norfolk County during January, 2015. Homestead recordings in January 2015 decreased by 8% year over year. A total of 659 Homesteads were recorded this January, compared to 717 in January 2014. Information regarding the Homestead Act, which provides limited protection against the forced sale of an individual's primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000, can be found on the Registry's website at www.norfolkdeeds.org. "The total number of foreclosure deeds recorded remained flat in January 2015. A total of 20 foreclosure deeds were recorded in January 2015, the same number as the previous January. The Registry continues to work with its partners South Shore Consortium and Neighbor Works Southern Mass to help Norfolk County homeowners who have received a Notice of Foreclosure from a lender," noted O'Donnell. The Register concluded, "I remain cautiously optimistic about the real estate market in Norfolk County. The inclement weather experienced at the end of January did not help our transaction numbers. Despite the challenges faced in January, the mortgage market continues to show small signs of improvements. Barring a downturn in the economy or action taken by the Federal Reserve related to interest rate increases, I hope the improvements in the mortgage market continue."

MBTA: Saturday - service changes // Sunday - service suspension

Saturday

Late Night bus/subway services will not be offered Sat night/Sun morn (Feb 14-15). The last subway trains will depart downtown Boston no later than 12:50 am. 

As part of its preparations for the next major snow storm, the MBTA will not be offering Late Night bus or subway services Saturday night/Sunday morning (February 14-15). 

The last subway trains will depart downtown Boston no later than 12:50 a.m. 

This will allow MBTA personnel to get a jump start on snow-clearing operations and other maintenance activity before 3:30 a.m. (when Late Night service would typically end). 

The MBTA apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

Last updated: Feb 13 2015 02:45 PM


----------------

Sunday

Due to the impending blizzard conditions, all MBTA services will be suspended Sunday, February 15th. There will be no Subway, Trolley, Commuter Rail, Bus, or Ferry service the entire day.  The MBTA is taking this action to ensure the safety of our customers and employees, which is our top priority. The projected heavy snow and high winds will significantly inhibit the MBTAs ability to deliver safe and reliable service. The suspension of service will also allow MBTA crews to keep clearing snow and ice from tracks, the third rail and switches. A decision about the status of service for Monday will be made Sunday.
