Where does Rep.Stephen Lynch stand on the issues?
By Anonymous - 9/6/10 - 2:04 pmLynch plays his cards close to the vest in what seems like a defensive style of politics. It certainly is not leadership-driven.
Take his process on the health care bill debate last summer. From March through August we heard Rep.Lynch say he didn't know how he'd vote on the bill. At the same time, he did not take a leadership role in shaping it. In August at Curry, Rep. Lynch held a town hall meeting and said he had read the bill but still didn't know how he was going to vote. Once again, his constituents could not get a bead on where he stood.
Perhaps even more stunningly at that town hall meeting, Rep. Lynch was given the chance to answer a question about death panels (after all he had read the bill) and refudiate (sic) ;-) the meme that right wing Republican liars and Fox News had made popular. Lynch equivocated! He would not take a stand!

Good news/bad news on Curt Schilling's house
By adamg - 3/25/09 - 1:30 pmThe good news: He's reduced the price of his Medfield estate by 37.5%, so it's priced to moooove. The bad news: That means it's still going to set you back $5 million.
Damn fine cup of coffee

Paul Keleher, who took the above photo, reports that Donut Express on Rte. 109 in Medfield was open today:
... Their coffee is always great but it was particularly good this morning, Christmas Day, and it was great of her to open her shop today. ...
Stealth bombers aren't usually seen in skies above Medfield
By WDavidStephenson - 9/11/06 - 11:49 amSunday was rather typical in Medfield, which is normally not the scene of major news (scratch that: a crew from "Chronicle" was here on Friday for 4 hrs. of taping at Lords' Department Store, our local institution, which is open 365 days a year: "if Lords doesn't have it, you don't need it". But I digress).
So we were sitting in the car in the Shaw's parking lot while my wife picked up some taco fixings, when one of the kids happened to notice A FREAKIN' STEALTH BOMBER FLYING OVER MEDFIELD.
You've got backhoe
By adamg - 8/16/06 - 8:13 amThe Herald's Jay Fitzgerald reports that AOL may turn to golddigging to make some money:
America Online is prepared to take a backhoe to a Medfield couple's yard in a search for as much as $500,000 in hidden gold and platinum bars it believes may have been buried there by their neo-Nazi son who made millions off of Internet spam scams.
AOL, the giant Internet provider, said it's only trying to collect ill-gotten assets from Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a former Westwood High School graduate-turned-neo-Nazi cyber con artist. ...
In the 1990s, Hawke headed one of the fastest growing neo-Nazi groups in the country. He lost his Nazi following in 1999 when the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, revealed his real name was Andrew Britt Greenbaum - seems neo-Nazis don't cotton to people with Jewish fathers. He then discovered a lucrative new career pushing penis-enlargement pills.
Extreme Makeover: Medfield Edition
By adamg - 11/21/05 - 9:19 amIn case you missed it, last night's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" involved a young Medfield boy with a disease that has left him unable to walk. David, who lives in Medfield, discusses:
... The entire town was involved: our pal David Sharff was the architect, and a gazillion tradespeople donated their time (one of our son's coaches was one of the 23 (!) plumbers, and the coordination was beyond belief: leveling and carting away the old house, digging the new foundation (which I think included removing some ledge), and then building the entire thing in less than a week. We had several chances to watch the process, and I think (I'm not sure, since I was bawling the whole time) it was amazing. ...
He gives a special shout-out to Medfield's own Curt Schilling, who got involved as well.
