Subway service between the Orange Line’s four most northern stations will be replaced by buses after 9 p.m. on five days each week for about one month, according to the MBTA.

Shuttles will run between Oak Grove Station and Sullivan Square Station from 9 p.m. until the end of service on every Sunday through Thursday from May 19 to June 21, officials said. However, there will be no evening diversion on the night of Sunday, May 26, due to the Memorial Day holiday that Monday.

The buses, which are accessible for people with disabilities, will stop at those two stations as well as at the two stations in between: Malden Center Station and Wellington Station, according to the T’s website.

During the times the four subway stations and their connecting tunnels are shut down, MBTA crews plan to perform work on the Assembly Square Station Project, officials said.

A voter looks over a ballot at the Pearl Street Community Center in Malden.

By Jarret Bencks, Town Correspondent

Action at polls in Ed Markey's congressional territory was slow Tuesday, as the longtime member of the House of Representatives squared off in a primary for a spot in the US Senate.

A total of 170 ballots had been cast as of 12:30 p.m. at the Pearl Street Community Center in Malden, the polling place for Markey's home ward.

Beverly DiCato, warden for Ward 2 precinct 1, said the turnout was low, as expected. It didn't appear that having a local candidate in the Senate race had a signficant impact on turnout, she said.

"People say that it's important to them, that's what makes me mad, they say that, but where are they?" DiCato said.

Dante DiSerio, 61, and his mother, Carmelina, 85, cast ballots for different candidates Tuesday afternoon at the community center.

DiSerio, a retired letter carrier, said he voted for Stephen Lynch because of his history supporting the letter carriers union, while his mother voted for Markey.

"I've known Ed for a long time, but I think Lynch is pretty good," DiSerio said. "Eddie's a career politician, nothing against him, but nobody should be doing it for that long."

Carmelina DiSerio said she thought Markey had served the area well in
his 36 years in Congress -- and he is a familiar face.

"I know the family very well," she said. "My oldest son went to school
with all the Markey brothers."

At the Medford Senior Center, near Markey's Congressional office in Medford Square, the turnout was also low, but slightly better than expected, Warden Rosemary Bagnell said. A total of 301 ballots had been cast as of 1:10 p.m.

"I think the weather has been a good factor," she said.

A Holyoke man has pleaded guilty to a 1983 killing at a Malden motel, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Shawn Marsh, 48, of Holyoke, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter on Thursday in connection to the shooting of 29-year-old Rodney C. Wyman at the Town Line Inn in August 1983, the announcement said. Marsh appeared before Middlesex Superior Court Judge Thomas Billings, who handed down a sentence of 15 to 18 years in prison.

Using two advanced fingerprint databases, investigators were able to solve a 29-year-old Malden homicide case, according to the Middlesex County District Attorneys office.

Fingerprints were collected at the scene during the initial investigation, but authorities were unable to find a match. In 2011, searches of two fingerprint databases maintained at the federal level, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System and Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, matched Marsh's prints to those found at the scene, prosecutors said.

On August 22, 1983, Marsh and another suspect -- who was not identified by authorities -- went to the motel at 735 Broadway, planning to rob Wyman and his roommate, according to prosecutors. Wyman, who was from Simsbury, Conn., was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at Malden Hospital.

In a statement, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan credited the investigative team on the case, and Wyman's family for their vigilance.

"[Marsh] has been held accountable for his actions because of the incredible commitment of the investigative team who pursued every lead and every new technological advance, along with the family of the victim, who never gave up hope that the person responsible for the death of their loved one would someday be brought to justice," Ryan said.

Home sales in Malden increased nearly 40 percent last month, going sharply against state trends, which saw an overall slight decrease in sales, according to recent data.

A total of 18 single-family homes were sold in Malden last month, compared to 13 in March 12, according to real estate publisher The Warren Group. Home sale prices in the city have also trended up: The median sale price year-to-date is $282,500, up from $252,500 in the first three months of last year.

A total of 36 single-family homes have sold in Malden so far this year, up from 31 in the first three months of 2012. Condo sales are also up slightly on the year, from 23 to 26.

Statewide, single-family home sales dropped over 3 percent from 3,215 in March 2012 to 3,100 last month. Median sale prices in the state rose from $263,000 in March 2012 to $285,000 last month.

Those in the real estate industry are hopeful that low interest rates on mortgages will help accelerate the market, David Harris, editorial director at The Warren Group, said in a statement.

"Low inventory is plaguing housing markets all over the country, and Massachusetts is no exception," he said. "With mortgage rates low and prices competitive, we're hopeful more sellers will emerge and the trend in dropping home sales will reverse."

In the midst of a manhunt for the remaining Boston Marathon bombings suspect that put the entire greater Boston region on edge, power outage reports came in from all over Medford early Friday afternoon, Deputy chief Steve Howe said.

Power was restored in most of the city within minutes of the reports, which came in at about 12 p.m., but the Medford Fire Department sounded all of its station alarms to respond, Howe said.

"Numerous alarms were sounded, there were some people stuck in elevators," Deputy chief Steve Howe said. "It was a full response."

Some people had to be helped out of elevators stopped as result of the outages, but there were no serious issues, Howe said.

A National Grid outage map showed there were also power issues in parts of Malden, Melrose and Everett Friday.

The cause of the outage had not been determined, Howe said.
