The North Shore Teen Initiative (NSTI) recently hosted the first event in a series that will connect current NSTI participants and alumni who are now in college. The NSTI Alumni College Panel told stories and offered advice to the dozen high school juniors and seniors who were in attendance.

As NSTI alumni Rachel Grosz from Marblehead explained, “It was a great experience helping those who needed advice on stressful college decisions.I hope my stories and answers to their questions make their college process a little bit easier.”

NSTI Director Adam Smith said, “Our alums have worked hard to find colleges and programs that fit their needs. They were more than happy to share their experiences with current NSTI kids in casual and honest conversations. We’re excited to expand on these conversations in our next alumni event later this spring.”

If you are a dog owner in the Marblehead area, then you should know about Missing Dogs Massachusetts. The site started to operate on January 1 and it can help people to find their missing animal. They have a Facebook page where they will publicize your loss, they can create a missing flyer for you and they can offer other helpful tips.

In the first week or their operation, Missing Dogs Massachusetts reunited 16 lost dogs with their families. The group came about from a larger site called Granite State Dog Recovery, that posts about lost and found dogs throughout New England.

Both board members and volunteers from Granite State Dog Recovery started to think they needed a smaller radius for another site after seeing “literally thousands of dogs missing” in Massachusetts said Beth Corr, president of Missing Gods Massachusett’s Board.

There are eight volunteers who make up the Missing Dog Massachusetts’ board at the moment. They include a retired state police member, an animal control officer and a former animal rescue group president. Corr runs a kennel service and a homemade dog biscuit line in Newton that is called Wag Tail Farms. They use primarily social media channels to try to reunite missing dogs with their owners. In the first week of their business, they got 6,900 Facebook followers.

If you’re looking for some great pizza. Supreme Pizza is the place to be. But now, they will be at their new space at 585 Washington Street, next door to their previous location. As George Vasvatekis, the son of the owner Nick, said “We’ve been growing over the years.”

The restaurant will soon celebrate 25 years. It started in 1990 with five tables. In 1995, Nick expanded into an adjacent storefront that offered 50 seats and 2500 square feet of space. Now, they’ll have 3500 square feet of space with an open floor plan.

The new space is cozy and well decorated. And, of course, has their signature pizza waiting for customers to try.
