BOSTON — The state’s highest court will weigh whether local boards have the authority to rein in cell towers. At issue is a 115-foot Verizon tower off South Street in Pittsfield.

The order called the tower a “public nuisance” that was a “cause of sickness,” the first order of its kind in the country, according to ProPublica. But the board…

Connelly Early is expected to get his second start with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday at Fenway Park against the Athletics. Early was strong in his major league debut last week, striking out 11 and allowing and five hits with a walk over five scoreless innings in a win over the A’s.

As one might imagine, a high school sports editor is pretty busy during the school year. It’s part of the job. That’s fine, because like students and teachers, the summer is (a little) less busy.

I got part of the day off Saturday (I still had to write this column). How did I spend it? Watching athletes I was privileged to cover in high school play local college football –…
