A manhole explosion sent smoke into the air and knocked out power in an area within the South End Wednesday, drawing an emergency response. The incident happened on Harrison Avenue. Eversource officials said customers started reporting their lights were dimming and flickering just before 5 p.m. The power was knocked out completely around 5:45 p.m. The owner of Convenience Plus, a store in the area, captured video with his cell phone of the scene that ultimately left his store and many others in the dark. “This place is always open,” said area resident Tom Downard near one local business. “It’s even open on Sunday, so I figured something was going on.”Crews raced to fix the problem, which Eversource identified as an underground cable failure. The lights remained on at Boston Medical Center, where a spokesperson told 7NEWS the hospital was at “normal operations.” Elsewhere, with their lights still out, individuals working in some surrounding businesses were le...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:15 GMT

NEEDHAM – The title-hopeful Newton North boys volleyball team can usually shake off a sluggish start to make a strong bid for a win, on the road, against most programs.Two-time defending Div. 1 state champion Needham isn’t most programs.Using a combination of high-level serving and blocking, as well as another standout performance from Ethan McCarron, the unbeaten Rockets (20-0) took full advantage of an atypical start from the Tigers to end their Bay State Conference schedule with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-23) sweep Wednesday night.Newton North eventually climbed out of the hole it dug by the third set, but Needham is as hard to rally against as they come. McCarron finished with 14 kills, Luke Lorence added nine kills, and the Rockets secured their 65th straight win.“We’ve been working on (maintaining early leads),” said Needham head coach Dave Powell. “I was glad with the way we came out. We were on the attack, serving tough and blocking well. … Ethan was (also) really effecti...
