| Refloating a Marblehead icon:
New owner says Maddie's was exactly what she was looking for Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT MARBLEHEAD — The way Loretta Lang describes it, it sounds like love at first sight. The daughter of a restaurateur, sister of two brothers who both operate their own bars, she had been working in Boston as an accountant in the bar business when she decided to buy a place of her own. But this establishment had to be perfect. |

| Feds OK Danvers company's blood-flow device Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:31:00 EDT DANVERS (AP) — Federal regulators have approved an implanted device used to maintain blood flow in heart failure patients during and after surgery, sending shares of developer Abiomed Inc. up sharply. |
| Auto Scanner: Sable runs great but starts slow Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:30:00 EDT Q: I have a 1996 Mercury Sable GS-V6 with 225,000 miles. The car has high mileage but runs very well. Starting in February the car suddenly developed a starting problem. It never fails to start but only after a few tries of about 10 seconds each. Though I had it tuned a year ago I decided to have it tuned again about a month ago. The hard starting still exists although the car definitely runs much better with better mileage too. The tune-up consisted of new plugs, gas filter and air filter. My mechanic told me to put a fuel injector cleaner/conditioner in the gas tank and drive the car a couple of hundred miles. This has not helped at all. What is the next option I should pursue? Could it be the automatic choke or possible vacuum leak? |
| Prep surges by Haverhill, wins third straight North title Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:35:00 EDT LAWRENCE — Trailing by a game and facing elimination in the Division 1 North final against Haverhill last night at Lawrence High School, the St. John's Prep volleyball team faced a choice: rise to the occasion, or continue to falter and head home empty handed. |
| Freshman Glavin lifts Ipswich in 11th inning Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:33:00 EDT IPSWICH — Nobody can predict how far the Ipswich High softball team will go in the Division 3 North Tournament this season. But no matter how far the Tigers go, yesterday's instant classic against Winthrop is the game they'll be talking about many years from now. |
| The Dean of Danvers
Ace righty strikes out 12 to lead Falcons back into North semis Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:30:00 EDT DANVERS — The answer: pressure and losing. The question: What two things do Danvers High senior right-hander Bobby Dean seem impervious to? As the calendar turns to June and the stakes in high school baseball circles get greater with each game, Dean remains as calm and carefree as someone laying on the beach of some remote island. He spun another gem yesterday, fanning 12 Tewksbury hitters in a complete-game outing to lead the Falcons to a 3-1 triumph in a Division 2 North quarterfinal contest at the Twi-Field. |
| Salem rally falls short against Grey Ghosts Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:29:00 EDT WESTFORD — Not once did Westford Academy catcher Scott Graham reach second base on his warmup throws between innings yesterday. Salem, meanwhile, prides itself on being an aggressive baserunning team. |

| Letter: Mental health system failing kids and families Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:36:00 EDT To the editor: The Massachusetts children's mental health system is failing our kids and their families. Of the 140,000 young people living with a mental illness who need treatment each year, 100,000 of them are unable to access care. More than 50 percent of students with a mental disorder drop out of school — the highest dropout rate of any disability group. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people ages 10 to 24, and 90 percent of those who die by suicide have a diagnosable and treatable mental illness at the time of their death. |
| Editor's view: Fire coverage on Web, in paper Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:36:00 EDT The fire that swept through the Highlands at Dearborn apartment complex in Peabody on Thursday moved with incredible speed, growing in minutes from a mulch fire to a four-alarm inferno that left dozens of locals homeless. The unpredictable nature of the fire meant the story The Salem News covered changed several times over the course of the afternoon. |
| Letter: Beatty, not Ogonowski, best suited to take on Kerry Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:35:00 EDT To the editor: The GOP's premature endorsement of Jim Ogonowski is an example of why our party cannot attract strong candidates and have them elected in Massachusetts. As a longtime Republican activist, a member of the Marblehead Republican Town Committee and an elected alternate delegate for Mitt Romney to this year's Republican National Convention, I was very disappointed when I read that our former governor was hosting a $1,000-per-person fundraiser for Ogonowski at the Taj Boston last month — this despite the fact Ogonowski may not have collected the signatures necessary to get his name of the ballot. |
| Letter: Improper disposal of cigarette should be a crime Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:34:00 EDT To the editor: I was both angered and dismayed when I read in Saturday's paper that a cigarette was to blame for the terrible fire at the Highlands at Dearborn in Peabody. Fire Chief Pasdon stated there would not be any criminal charges since the individual did not intend to start a fire. Whatever happened to personal accountability for one's actions? If a person hits something or someone with a motor vehicle, then that person is held accountable whether it was intended or not. The same should be true of mishandling of smoking materials, which can cause havoc if thrown to the wind. |
| Letter: Seeking owner of dog that bit child at Forest River Park Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:34:00 EDT To the editor: Our son was bitten by a dog at the children's playground at Forest River Park on Friday, May 30, at about 2:15 p.m. The injury was minor. However, in my haste to remove my two children from the situation I failed to get the proper documentation from the pet owner, including rabies vaccination records. Our 4-year-old son is now undergoing treatment for rabies, which includes a series of injections over a 28-day period, at the North Shore Medical Center. |
| Our view: Looking ahead: Our region in 2030 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:33:00 EDT Sustainable growth is the goal of a proposal being devised by planners to steer development in the Greater Boston area between now and the year 2030. The MetroFuture project looks at where the region, which includes those communities north of Boston, is headed over the next quarter-century and how those growth patterns might be altered to benefit the economy and the environment. |
| Letter: Salem's Memorial Drive turning into a speedway Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:33:00 EDT To the editor: I would like to thank the mayor and her rubber-stamp City Council for creating the new Memorial Drive motorcycle speedway. For 50 years the veterans developed this nice, quiet neighborhood, and now we have to endure this new kind of change in traffic. I now have to pay to park at the Willows when I go there to get an ice-cream cone and popcorn, while the motorcyclists got a new, marked, free parking place directly in line with Memorial Drive. |
| Taylor Armerding: Abstinence has a place in teen sex debate Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:33:00 EDT Sex. OK, now that I have your attention, I don't want to overpromise. This is not about titillation. This is about the endless, circular debate over what to teach our children. It's clear that, at one level, we're teaching them well. They have all the information they need to be, as the social workers say, "active." They know every detail about stuff that most of my peers and I only vaguely understood at age 12 and 13. |

| Oh Cruel World! Wed, 28 May 2008 13:51:56 -0400 Dear New Member, You joined the ICA on Sunday. When you approached the desk you seemed very satisfied that the four-person membership you'd imagined and arbitrarily priced at $100 would be your gateway to a new world of sophistication. Never mind that no such offer exists, you were confident and self-satisfied. Working at this museum has taught me that condescension and entitlement thrive in the art world, so you'll fit right in. And despite your smug insistence that all of your friends were going to get in free with your $100 membership (which is actually $125 for two people, with a few guest passes), your petulant refusal to fill in a name for the second card-holder (you wrote "whoever I want"—very sophisticated), and your poisonous thanks when I handed you a temporary membership card (all which took quite a bit of time), you still left me and my co-workers with a few unanswered questions:We were wondering if the huge gap between your front teeth is responsible for your hilarious lisp. And if so, are they the aftermath of an accident, or are you consciously trying to look and sound like some terrible hybrid of Sylvester the cat and Ernest Borgnine? Also, does all the sand in your vagina make a swishy sound when you walk around? Finally, what's the climate like on the island of Dr. Moreau? From the way you behaved I could see you'd been wronged by culture in the past, but you aren't going to take it anymore. And if that meant charging into a museum barking demands like a female Tommy Lasorda and ruining someone else's day, so be it, right? Good for you. If there's anything our museum is lacking, it's obnoxious members with chips on their shoulders. Can't wait to hear from you again, Your Visitor Services Representative Send your anonymous gripes and grouses to letters@weeklydig.com, or to Dig Department of Gripes, 242 E. Berkeley St., 2nd Flr., Boston, MA 02118. Crybaby.
