northofboston > Pedro's,  an  internationally  known  USA-based supplier of high quality
bicycle tools, lubricants and care products, is moving its headquarters and
research and development from Wilmington to Haverhill. Pedro's will take up
about  one  quarter  of the 16,000 square feet of office space on the first
floor of the eight-story Nofsker building at 147 Essex St.
  Here, Pedro's CEO, Christopher Zigmont of Exeter, N.H., demonstrates one
of the tools his company uses to determine the effectiveness of its bicycle
chain  lubricating  products. An electric motor turn the crank of a bicycle
wheel  and  allows  the  lubricated chain to revolve for as long as company
engineers want.
  About a dozen of the company's employees will move to Haverhill and many
will be using the train to get to work each day, including Zigmont. He said
having  a  train  station  nearby  as  well  as  being  close  to  downtown
restaurants  were  some  of the factors that drew his company to Haverhill.
Pedro's  shipping  and  receiving  center will be in the Ward Hill Business
Park.  Pedro's  lubrication  products are manufactured in Fitchburg and its
bicycle tools are made in Asia.

Bob  Lord,  63,  of  46  Merrill  St.,  took  matters into his own hands yesterday  by  cutting  up  a  tree that fell from a neighbor's yard during Thursday  night's  storm  and  landed  in the street in front of his house, preventing vehicles from passing by.

Jack  McAuliffe, 52, of 20 John Ward Ave., didn't realize a pine tree in his  yard  had  toppled  during  Thursday night's storm and landed on three vehicles parked in his driveway. He said the bulk of the tree landed on the roof  of  his  2003  Jeep  Cherokee,  totaling it, while limbs and branches damaged  a  1981  Fiat  and smashed the windshield and dented the roof of a 1986 Chevy El Camino he was restoring.
