...Despite the rainy New England weather and impending Thankgiving break, a strong crowd of 1,321 fans showed up. Most noticeable of all was the Harvard Band. Not a common presence at Lavietes Pavilion in seasons’ past, the band definitely made the rest of the arena aware of them with their constant songs throughout all the breaks and loud cheering when there weren’t breaks.

State crews will monitor the Breakers reef, a popular diving spot, next week, weather-permitting, in order to curtail private divers from entering the damaged area and flipping and moving corals. Those divers may believe they are doing good but such movement may actually further damage the reef and inhibit government restoration efforts.

Such hard corals are so sensitive and take decades to grow back, at a rate of a few centimeters...
