Town may try to block demolition of 1930s mansion

Brookline -

Brookline officials are considering whether to block demolition of a $16 million Georgian Revival mansion on Cottage Street.
Red Sox owner John Henry, who bought the estate from Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt last month, filed demolition certificate applications with the town on Tuesday. The applications include a 13,000-square-foot mansion as well as a smaller adjoining property on Sargent Road. Click here to finish the article

6th Annual Cooper Open

Dear Friends,



Thanks again to all those who participated in the 2006 Cooper Open. Through your generosity over $26,000 was raised at last year’s event. We hope to see as many of you as possible on Saturday, October 6th at the Sixth Annual Cooper Open to be held at Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH.



Since its inception, the Cooper Open has served a dual purpose, to show support for the Cooper family in their battle with Mitochondrial Disease and to raise money and more importantly awareness for an illness that receives little media attention.



As most of you know, all three Cooper girls are waging a battle with Mitochondrial Disease, a crippling foe characterized by a failure of a body’s cells to create the energy necessary to fuel the body and its respective organs. Notwithstanding the daily physical struggles these three girls face, the emotional and financial toll on the entire family as a result of the unpredictability of the disease is exhausting and draining. To have a day like this annually provides a huge boost to not only Ken, Deb and the girls, but also their extended family that works so hard to keep family life running smoothly.



The proceeds of the event benefit Marcel’s Way, a New Hampshire based non-profit group for those affected by Mitochondrial Disorders that offers support, information, and financial assistance to families like the Coopers that have been affected by this terrible disease (please see the attached letter for details).



For more information regarding the event or to make your presence felt through a donation if you are unable to attend please log onto http://www.cooperopen.com/ and feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone who may have interest.



Sincerely,

Jim Bagley, Jon Fox, Sean Gallivan & Clint Logan

Sharks can't scare off tourists

Cape Cod Times Article

CHATHAM — They seemed a little more cautious yesterday, but beachgoers said two shark attacks on seals in two weeks wouldn't stop them from hitting the Chatham surf.
A report of a shark incident was relayed to the Chatham harbor master Sunday after a dead seal was found gutted on South Beach. The state's shark expert later determined the mauling was likely the work of a great white, the same type of shark blamed for last week's attack off North Beach, said Lisa Capone, spokeswoman for the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.

Bourne, Sagamore bridges 'obsolete'

Cape Bridges
More than half of Cape Cod's 100 bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, according to information from the Federal Highway Administration.

Reed Charity Golf Results

Hello everyone,

Once again, we lucked out with great weather again this year. I did a quick tally and it appears that we may have raised over $1500.00 for the Epilepsy Foundation. That’s probably the most we’ve raised yet. Thank you all so much for attending this year’s event, and for your generosity. Below are the results of this year’s tournament. We hope you had fun, and we hope to see you all again next year.

Ken & CJ

Longest Drive, Men: Steve Brown

Longest Drive, Women: Tara Capobianco

Closest to Pin, Men: Mike Dwyer

Closest to Pin, Women: Tara Capobianco

Winning Team: With the tourney’s best performance ever with a 61, this year’s winners by tie breaker were Bob Reed, Gary Mucciarone, Tara Capobianco, and Ross Capobianco.

Swim Results

Thank you for supporting me by making a donation to the 2007 Swim Across America event. As I sit here sunburned, sore, and tired after a weekend of swimming, I can reflect on the smiles of the children at the Jimmy Fund. With water temps ranging from 57-63 degrees and jelly fish on Friday in the Boston Harbor, I was rallied by my swimmers from Cambridge Masters to return to cold water on Saturday morning for the beach swim at Nantasket Beach. I, personally, raised $3,935, and along with 13 Cambridge Masters Members, we raised $14715. In total, Swim Across America-Boston raised over $300,000 from this year’s events.

Here are a few pictures from the events of the weekend – Boston Harbor Swim



Just before Boston Light and the water temp is 57° & I think a shortie wet suit is okay. What was I thinking?(I’m in the center in line with the light house)



This is on the way back. In the 2 ½ foot swells, it made going by Logan Airport less than fun.

– THANK YOU – Scott

Newman Mailman

Evidently Newman is a fat, funny “mailman” (get the connection?) on Sienfeld - this is the new labs name… I was voting for Elijah or Harry (Cousin Clint’s favorite name…) but I lost.

Here’s to a long life of peeing on the kitchen floor, and chewing furniture!

For those if you looking for a low maintenance, fun, profitable (maybe if you’re lucky) baseball pool, here is the deal:
I am looking for 10 teams @ $150/team.
You can have partners (silent or obnoxiously loud).
We draft 3 teams (pool of teams combined from AL and NL). 30 MLB teams / 10 teams = 3 teams each.
The order of the draft is picked out of a hat.
What we are playing for , in the regular season, is combined wins, running tally, by the three (3) teams you draft.
10 teams pick the first 2 MLB teams in the following draft order:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1

For the third round we throw all teams back into a hat and pick 21-30.
Now 10 teams have 3 MLB teams each.

Payout looks like this:
Based on TOTAL wins of your 3 teams during the regular season (running tally of wins only, not, for instance, how many you won in July only):

End of April $100
End of May $100
All-Star $100
End of August $100
End of Reg Season $200


For the playoffs, it is not combined wins, but simply how far you individual team(s) go:

ALDS Winner $100 x2 ($200 Gross)
NLDS Wnner $100 x2 ($200 Gross)
AL Champs = $150
NL Champs = $150

World Series winner $200

$1500 in...$1500 paid out.

I need 10 teams, and the draft will be Saturday March 31st at a local watering hole in Boston. Yes, you can be at the draft via phone (if you are a girly man).
