PAWTUCKET — The Pawtucket Police Department has released information that 61-year-old John R. Woods, a convicted child molester, is living in the Main Street area and has registered with the police according to state law.
CUMBERLAND — Whether attending for the first time or the 30th, many families celebrated Independence Day with a bang at the Arnold Mills Fourth of July Parade.
PAWTUCKET — Bruce Hurst was just following the standard protocol when he popped in Ben Mondor’s office Wednesday afternoon.
After all, that’s what former PawSox do: they pay respect to the founding father (Mondor) and his two loyal sidekicks, Mike Tamburro and Lou Schwechheimer.
“Mike was the general manager at Elmira (NY) when I signed with the Red Sox 32 years ago, so I’ve known him my whole baseball life,” said Hurst. “Ben’s just one of the great owners, so to come back and think about the old times is great. It’s fun to go back and reminisce.”
Conjuring up memories aside – Hurst’s choice of wardrobe was a Red Sox pullover and a PawSox cap – Hurst wasn’t merely making a social call. He was at McCoy Stadium conducting business on behalf of the Boston organization, his official working capacity being roving assistant to minor league pitching coordinator Ralph Treuel and farm director Mike Hazen.
