Armenians find themselves pushed aside yet again

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. Last week, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the world is “inching ever closer to a great fracture in economic and financial systems and trade relations.”That may be so, but not when it comes to Azerbaijan.A country a third of the size of Britain and with a population of about 10 million, Azerbaijan has faced few problems in bridging geopolitical divisions. And recently, Baku has been offering a masterclass in how to exploit geography and geology to considerable advantage.From Washington to Brussels, Moscow to Beijing, seemingly no one wants to fall out with Azerbaijan; everyone wants to be a friend. Even now, as Armenia has turned to the world for help, accusing Baku of attempted ethnic cleansing in disputed Nagorno-Karabakh — the land-locked and long-contested Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan.Warning signs had been mounting in recent weeks that Baku might be planning a major offensive, which it dubbed an “ant...

Referee shortage forcing Medford HS to move Friday night football to Thursdays

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:54 GMT

The lights are out at the stadium where the Medford High School Mustangs usually play Friday night football.A referee shortage forcing the team to play on Thursdays instead. Bob Prestera of the Association of New England Football Officials says there are a number of reasons for the drop in available referees. “We’re losing probably 50 percent of the officials who take the course after three years,” he said. Rule changes to the game, retirements during the pandemic, and hefty time demands have been among the factors contributing to the shortage.Medford High School’s Athletic Director, Robert Maloney, Jr., said the school had to be flexible to make it work. “You have a choice, you can either try to play a Friday night and not have a full crew or if you walk into Thursday nights you’re going to get a full crew.” Prestera says some games have even been moved from a Saturday to a Friday, something he’s never seen in his 42-year career.

Thanks to Make-A-Wish Foundation, Stow Fire Department welcomes newest firefighter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:54 GMT

It was a big day in Stow for the town’s newest firefighter, who got a very special gift from the department. Diagnosed when he was less than a year old with a rare auto-immune disorder, Brayden Ginthwain has spent much of his 4 years of life in and out of the hospital, completing multiple rounds of marrow transplants and a life-saving stem cell treatment.“Since then it’s been a lot of frequent appointments, back-and-forth through the city, and he’s had a bunch of different stem cell infusions since then, so it’s been a lot,” said his dad, Erik Gunthwait. His mom, Angela Ginthwait, said her son is always putting on a brave face.“When he got the diagnosis, it was just unimaginably hard, it was our first child. But him being so brave and so courageous and so kind and loving life has just made it way easier to cope with how difficult his disorder is,” she said.But Friday, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Brayden was at the Stow Fire D...

Chris Sale throws five scoreless, Red Sox rally in eighth to beat White Sox 3-2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:54 GMT

Last time out for Chris Sale, less was more. The veteran left-hander didn’t have his best stuff but still found a way to dominate in what should have been a win at Toronto.This time, Sale was working with his full deck of cards.With his fastball velocity back up to its usual average, Sale was in full control throughout his outing Friday. The 34-year-old tied his former team in knots over five scoreless innings, and though the Chicago White Sox took the lead against Boston’s bullpen, the Red Sox rallied for two runs in the eighth to pick up the 3-2 victory.Adam Duvall tied the game with a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and one out in the eighth, and Masataka Yoshida drove in the game-winning run with an RBI single immediately afterwards.Though his command wasn’t as sharp as last time out, Sale was never seriously threatened. All three of his hits allowed were singles, and though he allowed two on with no outs to start the second, he responded by striking the ne...

Springfield Central nips Xaverian in 44-41 thriller

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:54 GMT

WESTWOOD — In past meetings with Springfield Central, Xaverian played well early, but when the former answered, the Hawks simply could not keep up.Well, in Friday night’s nonleague game at the Hawk Bowl, Xaverian answered each Central flurry with one of its own.In the end, Central was too much — but just barely — in a 44-41 shootout victory for the state power from Western Mass.“There’s no moral victories, but it’s always good when your team does not quit against what seemingly may be insurmountable odds, one play at a time, one series at a time,” Xaverian coach Al Fornaro said. “Offense played very well this evening. (Quarterback) Henry (Hasselbeck) played very well, and that’s always a good thing.”Fornaro wasn’t kidding. Hasselbeck may have played his best game as a Hawk, as the Michigan State-bound quarterback completed 22 of 34 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
