Pram Lottery Names Drawn
The determination of who gets a spot to store a boat or kayak at Fisherman's Beach depends on how drawn names meet criteria.
Pram lottery names have been drawn but it remains to be seen who will end up with a place to store their pram or kayak at Fisherman's Beach.
Pram storage hopefuls must meet criteria to qualify for one of the coveted spots, said Gino Cresta, director of public work.
He expects that some people will be left without a place to put their pram or kayak, he said.

The lucky pram storage winners have yet to be announced but will be known before the date, May 19, by which boats must be moved from the Fisherman's Beach parking lot to their moorings.
Last week, Milton Fistel of the Harbor Advisory Committee pulled names, written on slips of paper, from a shoe box at the Department of Public Works garage.

The public works director and one spectator interested in the outcome were at the drawing.
The lottery grew out of the Board of Selectmen's desire last year to create space for people to use Fisherman's Beach, Cresta said.
The beach was cluttered with prams and kayaks, limiting the space for people to walk or sit on a blanket, he said.
A pram, by the way, is a small boat, also known as a dinghy. Often people use them to row to a mooring where they keep a motorized or sail boat.
