NORTH SHORE – Three finalists have been announced for the next principal at Beverly High School. They are interim principal Betty Taylor, Narragansett Middle School principal Peter Cushing, and interim North Andover principal Deborah Holman. The city of Lynn is still working on their 2018 FY budget and Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy says that layoffs are not a sure thing. Lynn fire department was called to a porch fire on Essex Street Friday night.
As part of our ongoing exhibit, “Heartstrings: Embracing Armenian Needlelace, Embroidery and Rugs”, the Lynn Museum is delighted to welcome collector Raffi Manjikian, for a special one day showing of rare, antique Armenian inscribed rugs from his personal collection.
The showing coincides with the 102nd anniversary of the date widely acknowledged as the beginning of the Armenian genocide, April 24, 1915. Armenians worldwide commemorate that date in honor of the intelligentsia they lost; the 1.5 million Armenians that were killed during the genocide and the thousands of Armenians that were forcibly deported from their homeland.

AMESBURY — Chief Kenneth E. Berkenbush is pleased to announce that Amesbury Fire Rescue paramedics successfully delivered a baby boy earlier this week. On Tuesday, April 11, the Essex County Regional Emergency Communications Center received a call at approximately 2:14 p.m. requesting assistance for a woman in labor at her home. Amesbury Firefighter-Paramedics James Bateman and Carl Rizzo responded, along with Firefighter-EMTs Ryan York, Jamie Clark and Brian Dickson, and Chief Berkenbush. When firefighters arrived at the home, they determined there was not enough time to get the woman safely to the ambulance and the baby would have to be delivered inside the house. Minutes later, the mother delivered her son at 2:30 p.m. Paramedics reported that both mom and baby were doing well upon arrival at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport. “Too often we respond to incidents that don’t have happy outcomes, so being able to help bring a new life into the world is a very moving experience,” Chief Berkenbush said. “This was a team effort and I want to thank each of the firefighters who helped deliver this baby boy for making the experience run so smoothly.” All five firefighters who assisted with the delivery received their blue stork pins. ### |
