| Classical softball team eliminates Danvers Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:34:00 EDT LYNN — Some losses are harder to take than others — and the 6-3 loss that the Danvers High softball team suffered at Lynn Classical Saturday in the Division 1 North playoffs was especially difficult for the visitors. |
| Peabody softball team avenges regular-season loss to Fishermen Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:34:00 EDT The Peabody softball team came into Saturday's matchup with Gloucester with a little more fire than usual. For starters, the third-seeded Tanners were facing off against their Northeastern Conference rivals in the first round of the Division 1 North state tournament. To make matters even more serious, Peabody dropped a tough one-run decision to Gloucester earlier in the season. |
| Prep pounds Chelmsford in tourney opener Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:33:00 EDT DANVERS — Simply winning one tournament game is the goal of a team that's satisfied with qualifying for the postseason. Teams intent on winning championships aim a little higher. Case in point: St. John's Prep, the second seed in the East Division 1 boys lacrosse tournament, and it's performance against No. 15 Chelmford yesterday in a first-round game at Cronin Field. |
| Grey Ghosts topple St. John's Prep Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:32:00 EDT WESTFORD — Westford Academy senior Andrew Moynihan was red faced after a physically and mentally draining Division 1 North Tournament game here yesterday.

| Phil Stacey column: Once again, Danvers simply finds a way to win Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:31:00 EDT On Baseball Phil Stacey DANVERS — It's all about attitude.

| North Shore Tech reaches quarterfinals Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:30:00 EDT BASEBALL The North Shore Tech baseball team may not be able to call itself the Commonwealth Small champions, but at least the Bulldogs can claim to be the final team playing from the conference. The Bulldogs gained a huge measure of revenge on Saturday in the Division 3 North first round, getting a 10-8 decision over a Lynn Tech squad that had shaded them for the Commonwealth Small title during the regular season. In doing so, they won their fifth straight contest and captured the program's second-ever postseason victory. |
| Manny slugs No. 501 in third straight victory Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:30:00 EDT BALTIMORE (AP) — If Manny Ramirez celebrated his 500th home run deep into the night, it sure wasn't evident by his performance against the Baltimore Orioles. Ramirez hit his 501st homer, had three hits and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox continued their hitting revival at the expense of the Baltimore Orioles in a 9-4 victory yesterday. |
| Ainge's plan as simple as A-B-C Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:29:00 EDT BOSTON (AP) — This is not how the Boston Celtics planned to get back to the NBA finals. The league's luckiest franchise saw its luck run out — again — in the draft lottery last year, coming up with the worst possible pick and no shot at the megastars slotted 1-2. What the Celtics couldn't know at the time was that it was the best thing that could have happened. |
| Our view: Speedy Peabody fire points to need for reform Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT The property damage and loss of pets in Thursday's fire at The Highlands at Dearborn apartment complex in Peabody were devastating. But credit the city's Fire Department for making sure all residents were out safely and then containing the blaze as the building where the conflagration started burned quickly to the ground. |
| Our view: Critical choice for Beverly voters Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT Regardless of the outcome tomorrow, the debate over a school budget override in Beverly will have lasting benefits for a community whose residents now have a fresh appreciation for the difficulties their elected officials face trying to balance the demand for quality education against the need to keep spending at an affordable level. |
| Letter: Debate bad for his health Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: Thursday evening I attended the forum sponsored by The Salem News regarding the upcoming Proposition 21/2 override in Beverly. After about 30 minutes I had to leave or run the risk of having my blood pressure rise to dangerous levels. |
| Letter: Happy to 'pay it forward' Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: It is Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend, and I've just read the letters to the editor. They have so inspired and moved me that I am now writing my first-ever letter to an editor. |
| Letter: Staff cuts haven't matched decline in enrollment Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: While Superintendent Hayes and Mayor Scanlon quibble over the numbers of staff, schools and dollars, we in Beverly are listening to the voices that talk about students and education. |

| Letter: Some facts on administrators, classroom size Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: Members of Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility have proposed many different ways for the Beverly public schools and the city to cut costs and increase revenues. Some have merit; but many, in my opinion, do not, and are based on factual errors or a misunderstanding of what those facts mean for education. |
| Letter: What will we sacrifice next? Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: Let me begin by stating that as of this past Sunday I no longer have children in the Beverly public school system. However, I will vote for an override on Tuesday. The school systems and cities across this state are struggling to provide services to their citizens under a tax limit that is lower than the rate of growth of expenses. Health insurance, fuel, and most other goods and services are rising by more than 2.5 percent per year, while state subsidies have gone down. The property tax limit was set almost 30 years ago with no consideration for the rate of inflation. |
| Letter: Override opponents won't be silenced Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: It is a wonderful country we live in when we can be free to vote for our leaders, have public hearings to express our opinions, work hard and provide for our families, and not depend on the government for all aspects of our lives. It is a real shame when some people do not respect our rights. |
| Letter: Kids need a strong foundation Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT To the editor: I moved to Beverly with my husband 11 years ago when we bought an older home in a wonderful neighborhood behind Henry's Market. Since coming here, we have tried to get involved. |

Amesbury returns to Division 2 North semifinal after one-year hiatus Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:52:00 EDT CONCORD — For years, the Amesbury softball team could be counted on for an annual appearance in the EMass. Division 2 North semifinal. Chris Perry's arrival in 1985 cemented the school's status as a perennial softball contender. Four state titles and 16 Cape Ann League titles followed. |
| As I See It: Big band music never goes out of style Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:30:00 EDT As someone said, "June is busting out all over," and hopefully we'll have some good weather that's been lacking most of the spring. I've had a habit of checking the weather across the country, daily, and came to the conclusion we're not so bad off here in New England, compared to tornados and twisters in other regions. So much for the weather, let's talk about music, the artists and the sounds of yesterday. |
| Letter: Chocolate Tour a sweet success Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:30:00 EDT To the editor: On Saturday, May 17, Newburyport played host for The Chocolate Tour to benefit the American Red Cross of Northeast Massachusetts. The sky cleared and shop owners opened their doors to an amazing Newburyport day. Whoever knew the variety of chocolate and the creative presentation that was available at participating stores? Maybe more remarkable was the generosity of each shopkeeper and our Red Cross volunteers. They all understood the importance of the Red Cross and what it takes to sustain it. They embraced it with their time and energy and spirit of giving. We cannot thank them enough, but we do thank them. We send gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the people who purchased tickets and walked from one set of pink and white balloons to the other to find their treats. Without them we could not have reached our goal: to bring the community together to raise awareness of the Red Cross in this area and to raise funds to support the programs we offer. |
| Letter: Tour of Greenway well worth taking Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:30:00 EDT To the editor: We took advantage of the beautiful weather the other day to take the train to Boston. We walked the new Rose Kennedy Greenway from North Station to South Station, and then back by the Boston Harborwalk. It was a revelation, and a potential inspiration for our own Harborwalk. We strongly encourage all in Newburyport to go, look and enjoy. The trees haven't grown up much yet, so take your sun hat or sunscreen. |
| Letter: What 70,000 cubic yards of fill looks like Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:30:00 EDT To the editor: Here's a rough calculation to help visualize how much more volume the landfill owner is asking for. I heard the approximate volume increase is 70,000 cubic yards. If you remove the roof from Newburyport City Hall and fill the building with construction trash, I estimate it would hold 7,000 cubic yards. So the landfill volume increase is 10 city halls (70,000 divided by 7,000). |
