“I think the scare tactic of more traffic is exaggerated and not an accurate depiction of what will really happen. I drive by two or three cannabis dispensaries each day on my way to and from work, and haven’t noticed any increase in traffic, specifically on Rt. “I can’t take much stock in someone’s anti-pot-shop stance when they won’t even sign their name. “When I received this letter in the mail, the first thing I noticed was that whomever sent it didn’t sign their name to it,” said one recipient. There was discussion of a dispensary in this area at the recent Special Town Meeting (1:38). Regardless, sources say that Select Board members and the Town Manager’s office are receiving calls. Yet fairly steep postage costs and the timing - having the letters land the week of tonight’s Tewksbury Select Board meeting, where marijuana regulations will be discussed - suggest it’s a party with both a financial or other interest in derailing this location and an understanding of the permitting process. The Dunkin Donuts is a bigger traffic issue because the line often extends out into the road.Īn anonymous letter lacks credibility, and there are errors including “the Andover/Lowell line” and a misspelling of Town Manager Richard Montuori’s name. One resident who drives by daily says there are rarely more than 15 or 20 cars in the lot. Certainly “700 to 1,000 cars daily” is a highly unlikely scenario. 3 and is proposing to convert a garage at 1 Main St., just barely over the Tewksbury line and readily accessible from I 495.Ī few points: The Smyth dispensary, which is just over the line in Lowell, does not open until 9 a.m., after the bulk of the morning commute.

The company held its first Community Outreach Meeting on Nov.

The proposal being discussed, Full Harvest Moonz, is a women-owned and -operated recreational cannabis dispensary with an existing location in Haverhill. Not to mention, hunters could more easily see the animals they were looking for, as they too were looking to collect fallen grains and fruits in the bright night light.Residents near the Lowell/Tewksbury line are finding the below letter in their mailboxes, with no indication of who sent it - no return address, and in at least two cases the stamp was not inked by the Post Office.

Not only was the timing of this full moon perfectly aligned to their crops, but the brightness and yellow hue (due to dust in the atmosphere) gave them a lot of light to see what they were picking during times when it would get darker sooner than it would in the summer. Once they collected their bounty, the next phase of preparing for winter would be to hunt - hence, the Hunter's Moon. They wanted to make sure that everything was ready to eat, and yet not too ripe, or left out too long that the animals could get to them first. So, why these names? The Algonquin tribes would wait until after the autumnal equinox to collect their harvests. In 2018, when the Harvest Moon falls in September, October's full moon will simply be the Hunter's Moon. 5 - so that's what October 2017's full moon should be referred to as. 22, the Harvest Moon is occurring on Oct. But in 2017, because the autumnal equinox occurred on Sept. During the years that the Harvest Moon rises in September, October becomes the month of the Hunter's Moon. The Harvest Moon is the first full moon after the autumnal equinox, meaning that it's not always in the same month: Every three years, the Harvest Moon falls in October rather than in September. Is there even a difference between the Harvest Moon and the Hunter's Moon? Why do people use both names for the same thing?! During the fall, the two most talked about moons are the Harvest Moon and the Hunter's Moon, because it seems like every October, people are calling the full moon one or the other. For the Algonquin tribe, who created many of the names we have for full moons, naming the moons was their way of keeping track of the seasons and the lunar months, but for us, the nicknames are not applicable, merely interesting. Growing up it seemed like there were a lot fewer names for the moon - either it was full, or it wasn't, amirite? But lately, people have been taking more of an interest in the actual names for the different full moons.
