South Sectional golf: First-year Bishop Feehan team captures championship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:46:21 GMT

MARSHFIELD — Like the rest of her teammates, Hanley Correia knew she was taking a foray into uncharted territory when she opted to join Bishop Feehan’s new girls golf program. Early in the spring, no one could have predicted exactly what the future had in store for the team, having been constructed essentially from scratch.Thanks in large part to the freshman’s efforts, the Shamrocks have already etched their place in history. Correia finished even par (73), as Bishop Feehan captured the 2023 South Sectional championship with a combined score of 350 at Marshfield Country Club on Tuesday.“They’ve worked hard all year long,” said Bishop Feehan coach Angel MacLeod. “This is our first season, so they kind of just clicked well together. They were really looking forward to this. They practiced hard, they had a great week of preparation.”It may have been the Shamrocks’ first crack at a sectional tournament, but it certainly didn’t appear as such. Bishop Feehan outpaced the field by 45 stro...

Facing backlash, McCarthy hunts for GOP votes for debt limit deal in time to prevent US default

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:46:21 GMT

By LISA MASCARO, KEVIN FREKING and STEPHEN GROVES (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Under fire from conservatives, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy worked strenuously Tuesday to sell fellow Republicans on the debt ceiling and budget deal he negotiated with President Joe Biden and win approval in time to avert a potentially disastrous U.S. default.Leaders of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus lambasted the compromise as falling well short of the spending cuts they demand, and they vowed to try to halt passage by Congress. A much larger conservative faction, the Republican Study Committee, declined to take a position, leaving McCarthy hunting votes. With tough days ahead, the speaker urged skeptical GOP colleagues to “look at where the victories are.” Unhelpfully for Biden, he said of the Democrats on ”Fox and Friends,” “There’s nothing in the bill for them.”A key test was coming late Tuesday, when the House Rules Committee was to conside...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:46:21 GMT

A bill that extends candidate filing deadlines for district councilors in Boston passed through the state Legislature and was signed into law by the governor.Originally submitted by Mayor Michelle Wu, the home rule petition allows candidates additional time to pick up and file nomination papers, June 13 and 23, respectively, and clarifies signature-counting procedures, in light of this month’s federal court ruling that threw out the city’s prior redistricting map.Prior deadlines had already passed for district council candidates, who previously had until May 16 and 23 to obtain and file nomination papers. The Boston Elections Department now has until July 7 to certify signatures, compared to June 27 under the prior timeline, the legislation states.The bill was approved by the House and Senate, and signed by Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the governor confirmed.“We are grateful to the Legislature and governor for their swift action to ensure the Boston Elections Dep...
