Each will have one officer, except for East High School, which will have two.SROs were reinstated after safety concerns following shootings at or near East High School in early 2023. In one case, a student shot two deans during a scheduled pat-down.“I wouldn’t say that had there been an officer assigned to that school that that incident would not have happened, because obviously, that individual knew that he was going to be searched upon entry into that school and so he decided to bring a gun anyway,” Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said.

Lucas: VP of what?

It’s a shame Kamala Harris did not stop over at Logan Airport en route to Martha’s Vineyard last weekend.Had she done so she could have picked up an illegal immigrant family or two and connected them to welcoming families living on the affluent island.Harris is, after all, Joe Biden’s border czar charged with rooting out the causes of illegal immigration, one of which is the open southern border.That way she would have helped answer Gov. Maura Healey’s call for Massachusetts residents to take in families of illegal immigrants to ease the flood of immigrants that have overwhelmed the state’s shelter system.Or as Kim “Ditto” Driscoll, the lieutenant governor, put it when Healey called a state of emergency, “If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family.”It is costing Massachusetts taxpayers $45 million a month to house the influx of illegal immigrants. Shelters are overflowing and hotels and motels are booked.Next thing you know legitimate tourists,...

Yankees’ catching coordinator pleased with Austin Wells’ defensive growth

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:29:19 GMT

Ever since the Yankees drafted Austin Wells 28th overall in 2020, there have been questions about the catcher’s defense.Even the Yankees’ catching coordinator, Tanner Swanson, acknowledged that those concerns existed when Wells left the University of Arizona. But Swanson, who gets progress reports on all of the organization’s catchers and keeps up with what Wells is doing on a daily basis, is pleased with the strides the farmhand has made.“Sometimes it’s hard to shed those narratives or the stigma. As an industry, we’re pretty quick to label guys, especially early, as soon as you acquire them,” Swanson told the Daily News of Wells. “He definitely had question marks defensively when we got him, but he’s done nothing but perform defensively since he’s been in our system. So there’s been a lot of really, really positive signs of his growth as a receiver, a blocker. The arm has come a long way since college.”Swanson...

Jermaine Wiggins Era begins at Brockton High with high expectations

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:29:19 GMT

BROCKTON — If there were any motto to define what Jermaine Wiggins wants to see as the new Brockton coach, it was on the back of T-shirts worn by coaches and players for Friday’s practice.Spread across in white lettering on the black shirts, it read “Nothing Goes Unnoticed.”That idea, a pledge to detail and accountability, acts as Wiggins’ main message as he replaces Peter Colombo. Before Colombo, Peter’s late father, Armond, led the Boxers, as the program had a Colombo leading the way every year since the late 1960s.But now, it’s a new day, and Wiggins, a former New England Patriots tight end, knows there isn’t anything he will do as coach of the Boxers that will go unnoticed. After practice Friday, Wiggins seemed excited to get started.“And it’s ‘Nothing Goes Unnoticed’ good or bad. So if you’re doing good things, it’s being noticed. If you’re doing bad things, it’s being noticed,” Wigg...
