Old Time Baseball Game St Peter's Field on Sherman St. in Cambridge Thursday August 21st at 7PM.
Matt Collins of Hopkinton takes batting practice at Media Day this week for the Old Time Baseball Game to be played at St Peter's Field on Sherman St. in Cambridge on Thursday August 21st at 7PM. He is wearing a wool Red Sox 1939 replica uniform with Ted Williams' # 9 jersey. This 1939 throwback uniform celebrates the 100th anniversary of major league baseball. 1939 was also Ted Williams' rookie season when, as a 20 year old player new to facing big league pitching, he batted .326 and finished 4th in the American League MVP voting, Not a bad start for a skinny kid from San Diego just trying to make it to the "show." August 14, 2008 — Each year since 1994, Steve Buckley, noted Red Sox beat writer for the Boston Herald and frequent on air contributor on WEEI sports radio AM 850, organizes young Boston based college baseball talent in a charity game he proudly calls "The Old Time Baseball Game". Each player from a Boston area school wears a replica uniform from an old time baseball team, many going back to the turn of the century. The boys are split into two teams and play a game in front of 1,000 fans, certainly the biggest crowd they've seen in their young careers.
At this year's Media Day, Lou Merloni, the 2008 guest celebrity player, wore a wool black 1901 Baltimore Orioles uniform. Lou's sure hoping the game is played in cool weather! Other famous uniforms on display will be from the Kansas City Monarchs, the Boston Braves, and even a few old time Yankee uniforms will be making an appearance. The Red Sox' own Johnny Pesky, as in prior years, is expected to be on the bench and coaching a team.
This year's event benefits the Todd Schwartz Foundation and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Todd was a talented baseball player who passed away as a young man just a few years ago. His parents are dedicated to raising money to help others in the fight to help find a cure for cancer.
If it's late August and you still need more baseball in your life, then you are a real fan of the game. Travel to the Old Time Baseball Game at St Peter's Field on Sherman St in Cambridge for a 7PM start on Thursday, August 21st (rain date, Friday August 22nd, 7PM). For more game information or to make a donation, please go to oldtimebaseball.com.
You'll be helping a great cause and seeing tomorrow's stars play some quality baseball. Contributed content. |

Candidates' Round Table on HCAM-TV to be Sponsored by HopNews Democrats Ed Mills and Carolyn Dykema to discuss issues Vying for Representative of 8th Middlesex District LIVE ON AUGUST 28, 2008 AT 7:00 P.M.
August 13,
2008 — Community members are welcome to join the audience on August 28,
2008 at 7:00 pm Carolyn Dykema and Ed Mills, both Democrats, are seeking to win their party's support in the September 16 primary, and then go on to challenge presumptive nominee, Republican Dan Haley, who has no opponent at this time, for the State Representative seat in the Eighth Middlesex District. The district covers Hopkinton, Holliston, and parts of Medway, Southborough, and Westborough. It has been represented by Republican Paul Loscocco of Holliston, who is no longer running, for about eight years. The candidates will have opening and closing remarks, and will be asked questions by a Moderator/host in a more casual setting than a structured debate. It is a format HopNews sponsored for the Selectman's race last May, which got a lot of praise from all sides. It is expected to last 60-90 minutes. The Worcester Telegram has reported that Ed Mills will not be participating in a debate on August 20, 2008, due to irresolvable issues. The debate would have been between Mr. Mills and Carolyn Dykema, both Democrats. In response, Republican Dan Haley has made arrangements, he stated today, to appear and debate Mrs. Dykema in that time slot. Both candidates are Holliston residents. Mr. Haley also agreed to appear in a roundtable sponsored by HopNews, TBA, with the winner of the Democratic primary. People wishing to be a part of the studio audience on the evening of August 28, 2008 are reminded to arrive at HCAM-TV, 77 Main Street, Hopkinton, before 6:45 pm. UPDATED: August 14, 2008 |

Clouds From Both Sides
August 12, 2008 — Michelin Man, a couple in embrace, a soft-serve ice cream, cotton candy — it doesn't matter what a person sees, it is pretty certain that these types of clouds herald the coming thunder and lightning, as they did today shortly before the deluge.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MARTHA
COAKLEY OBTAINS CONSENT JUDGMENT AGAINST
“By attempting to terminate the victim’s tenancy because she had children under the age of six and by refusing to abate lead paint after it was discovered, Mr. Mohamed violated his legal duties as a landlord,” said Attorney General Coakley. “Our office is pleased with the outcome of this judgment because it will require Mr. Mohamed to put strong antidiscrimination policies in place and to participate in training on fair housing laws.”
The complaint alleges that in October 2003,
Mohamed
attempted to terminate the victim’s tenancy after a lead
paint test revealed the presence of lead throughout the apartment where
the victim and her three children resided. Under both The judgment also requires Mohamed to advertise rental property as “Equal Housing Opportunity” properties, adopt a written antidiscrimination policy for his rental properties, maintain a record of rental applicants accepted and rejected for tenancy, and report all discrimination complaints to the Attorney General’s Office. Additionally, Mohamed must participate in a fair housing law training approved in advance by the Attorney General’s Office. The apartment units of the property in question were de-leaded during the course of this litigation. Since taking office in January 2007, Attorney General Coakley has obtained judgments in 23 housing discrimination cases brought against landlords, property managers, and/or real estate companies and has 16 complaints pending. |

Crime/Justice Two Former Tufts Employees Arraigned For Stealing Nearly $1 Million From University
Josephine Nealley, Director of the University The schemes were first discovered by a member of the Tufts Internal Audit Department who had received an anonymous tip.

Nealley used one of these accounts to deposit student activity funds and would then transfer that money into her own personal bank accounts. She also used the account to withdraw cash and make personal purchases. Bank records indicate that Nealley used the debit/ATM card to make purchases at:
Over a time period from 2001 to 2007, Nealley transferred $63,500 to her personal line of credit, $91,000 to her personal checking account and also withdrew $174,908 in cash. In total, she is alleged to have stolen $372,576 from the University through this scheme. She was not authorized to take or spend any of this money by the University.
During the investigation, auditors also discovered that Rodriguez stole $604,873 from University student activity accounts. Auditors discovered that Rodriguez wrote himself a check from a University account in the amount of $100,000. He then deposited that check into an account he opened in his name, and used the money to pay credit card bills.
Rodriguez also opened numerous credit cards in his name and in
the name of

Planning Board Meeting Bill's Pizza to Acquire More Land
August 12, 2008 — Representatives of the Acacia Club (John Warren Lodge) were granted an ANR (Approval Not Required) plan to break off a piece of their property (Blue border) to sell to the owners of Bill's Pizza. The owners of Bill's Pizza have previously submitted a plan for a two-story building in the middle of their current parking lot, with parking around the new building, and along the property line at Claflin, where the owners have acquired other land in the last 2-3 years. It is believed that they will be pursuing the purchase of another parcel, which would give them an entrance on Walcott Street. The new parcel is currently located in a wooded area. But according to one official, the acquisition would give them enough parking to proceed with their project. According to the official, there was not have enough parking in the proposal they first presented to the Planning Department.
Legacy Farms Legacy Project Manager Steven Zieff stopped by the Planning Board meeting to give the members an update on progress, and a timeline for events.
"They had a different view of he world," he said. Regarding the upgrade of the Main/Grove Street intersection, which is part of the Host Community Agreement and must be done in the spring, Mr. Zeiff said the power station (For the traffic signals) would be relocated elsewhere, because it is difficult to negotiate the turn at the drugstore. "We told the team we want all new," he said. "I think Colella's is in the right of way, and to move that a matter of a few feet could make a difference," Mr. Zieff said. The right of way is the area of land bordering the street that the town owns. It is usually used for a sidewalk, of which there is currently one there. Mr. Zieff said the path of action he is taking is the ENF (Environmental Notification Form), and water and sanitary permits. "All of these things can be done in fairly short order," he said. Mr. Zieff also noted that, "As we gear up for the Master Plan and special Permit, we need to remember we need a super-majority [of the Planning Board]." |
