Melrose firefighters fought a brush fire on Mount Hood for much of Tuesday afternoon. The wooded, sloped terrain around the of Mount Hood Golf Course hampered efforts to stop the fire. Gloucester closed all of its public woods indefinitely due to fears that "dry air and low humidity" could cause forest fires.

Breads n Bits of Ireland (530 Main Street, Melrose) is the kind of place that can make you an addict if you’re not careful. One day, a few years ago, we were perusing the farmers’ market in Melrose when we literally stumbled into Breads n Bits (of Ireland, don't forget).

Breads n Bits serves everything from corned beef sandwiches to a great pot of tea, but the most remarkable thing about this little gem is the scones.
