Globe, Jan. 6: Coach Burke targets conditioning

Arlington Catholic boys (4-1) lost to Whitter Tech, 63-56, after beating St. Clement, 57-50, in the first IAABO 27 "Referees vs. Cancer" Holiday Basketball Tournament at Malden Catholic's newly refurbished Gerard Doherty Gymnasium.

AC, among eight teams in two divisions in an event that the sponsors hope will become an annual one, was runner-up in the small-school division. Whittier also beat Winchester, 65-55.

All proceeds will go the IAABO 27 "Referees for Cancer" initiative, which this past year raised nearly $13,000, which was donated to cancer research. All results:

Scoop poops out

I would like to commend "Menotomy Observer" – aka Steve Harrington – for first reporting about the dumped snow in the athletics field behind Stop & Shop. The report was published Feb. 13 at Truepersons.com. He got the scoop, but he failed to document key claims with respect to the field.

While this letter reads as apologetic in tone and at first reading seemingly complete in explaining the situation, some statements in the letter raise further questions: ...
