Hopedale Police Department say Facebook page targeted in hack

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:48:49 GMT

A post popped up on the official Hopedale Police Department Facebook page that had people doing a double take. The online message glorified the shooting of a transgender person. “We’re here to help people and that post was not helpful,” Hopedale Police Chief Mark Giovanella said. “To read it and the language that was used in it, it was offensive to us and I’m sure it was offensive to the people that we are serving.”The chief said the site was hacked just before midnight on Tuesday. “We immediately tried to have the post removed, and then we realized we were locked out of our account because it was hacked and taken over by another identity,” he said.Spanning into the afternoon on Wednesday, the post stayed live, referring to a transgender woman as a “direct threat” and claiming to have fired “47 shots” at her. The post also deemed their actions “justified.”14 hours after the message was posted, the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association and a local representative got the pos...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:48:49 GMT

Father Bill’s Place has operated as an emergency shelter in Quincy for more than 40 years, providing the homeless a place to stay overnight, but local officials say the reactive approach is not enough as needs across the region grow.The Yawkey Housing Resource Center, slated to open in October across the street from the existing facility, will go a long way in better serving the community, as it will offer daytime services and on-site permanent supportive housing, along with an emergency shelter, officials say.Father Bill’s & MainSpring, which oversees Father Bill’s Place in Quincy and MainSpring House in Brockton, has seen an increase in homelessness since the pandemic and as inflation continues to take a toll, said John Yazwinski, the agency’s president and CEO.“This is going to be innovative where we are really going to try to end homelessness one life at a time every day,” Yazwinski said of Yawkey Housing Resource Center. “The pandemic showed us we shouldn’t be putting peopl...

As 40th anniversary of World Series win nears, 1983 Orioles team recalls effort to ‘just keep chugging’

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:48:49 GMT

They’ll trot onto the field at Oriole Park on Saturday night, grayer and rounder and slower afoot than when they played. The crowd won’t care. To their fans, the aging 1983 Orioles are a team for the ages, one that 40 years ago took the town on a glory ride to its third (and most recent) world championship. That goal also beckons this year’s club, none of whose players were alive when their forebears won it all.The Orioles of yore won 98 games, then dispatched the Chicago White Sox for the American League pennant. They lost the World Series opener to the Philadelphia Phillies, then took four straight before returning to Baltimore — by bus, no less — to be met by a joyous throng of 30,000 at Memorial Stadium.“On the way back, every few minutes, [second baseman] Richie Dauer would stand up and scream, ‘Sixty thousand bucks!’ which was each player’s share,” said Scott McGregor, who pitched a 5-0 shutout in the Series finale. &...

The US government’s debt has been downgraded. Here’s what to know

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:48:49 GMT

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER (AP Economics Writer)WASHINGTON (AP) — Late Tuesday, Fitch Ratings became the second of the three major credit-rating firms to remove its coveted triple-A assessment of the United States government’s credit worthiness, a move that spurred debate in Washington about spending and tax policies. Fitch cited the federal government’s rising debt burden and the political difficulties that the U.S. government has had in addressing spending and tax policies as the principal reasons for reducing its rating from AAA to AA+. Fitch said its decision “reflects the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance” compared with other countries with similar debt ratings. The downgrade may have little impact on financial markets long-term or on the interest rates the U.S. government will pay. Here’s what you need to know:HOW DID THE GOVERNMENT GET TO THI...

Elite Field Hockey Camp offers fun atmosphere, solid instruction

WALTHAM — Playing in a semifinal matchup on the final day of the Elite Field Hockey Camp at Bentley University on Wednesday, the goal that Foxboro star senior Mary Collins scored, nor the team’s eventual shootout win to advance to the championship, will not count toward the Warriors’ bid for a state title this upcoming season.But if Foxboro’s reactions for both feats are any indicator, which includes a raucous chant of their “Zimbabwe” team name following the shootout, their experiences throughout the three-day session were extremely beneficial.The same can be said about all 275 student-athletes who wrapped up the final of three sessions that the 34-year-old camp ran this year, which once again put fun at a premium within a competitive and educational environment.“It’s the best spirit we’ve had so far, it’ll be hard to pick the spirit award,” said director Meg Bozek. “The kids have been super engaged. … Overall I think the experience has been great and the athletes have been awesome...
