STATE HOUSE — A valuable 74-year-old painting that hung for years in the principal's office at Gardner High School will soon begin paying dividends for students in that community.
The Massachusetts House late last week passed a bill establishing a scholarship fund, using money from the 2014 sale of a painting that Norman Rockwell donated to a Gardner principal in the 1940s.
SAGAMORE, Mass. (AP) — A truck carrying cranberries crashed head-on into another vehicle on a bridge into Cape Cod, spilling berries onto the roadway and snarling morning rush-hour traffic.
Massachusetts State Police said Friday on its official Twitter account that the Sagamore Bridge was closed in both directions for about 90 minutes due to the crash at about 7 a.m.
