Canton police share warning about toy gel blaster guns

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:33 GMT

Canton police have recently shared words of warning in the form of a community advisory after police said they have taken several gel blaster guns away from children. The popular toy guns, known to many as Orbeez guns, shoot small pellets that get larger in water. The concern for Police Chief Helena Rafferty is that the guns look like real guns. “What was to us water guns of the past are now a problem because they look so real,” Rafferty told 7NEWS. “Obviously, people seeing them around town, it’s going to cause a lot of concern,” Rafferty said. Rafferty said the alert from the Canton Police Department comes as several social media challenges go viral, including one where children freeze pellets.The frozen pellets, Rafferty said, become “more like a BB gun” pellet, which Rafferty said “could be very dangerous.”Speaking this week, parents in town said the question is cut and dry when it comes to weapons that look real. “If you could possibly be mistaken, if there’...

Spring Has Sprung

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:33 GMT

As went move into the month of April it seems as if we’ve turned a corner on the seasons and spring has arrived. I say this because even our “cool” days are just that, cool. It’s not the bitter cold stuff anymore. Average highs have climbed to the low 50s now and that’s where we found ourselves today.We have a lot of mild and even warm air in the forecast. We’ll have another mild day tomorrow with temperatures hitting 60°… at least inland. We will have a pretty sharp sea breeze tomorrow that will keep the coastal temperatures near 50°. Then, all of us tap into the cool air on Wednesday. In fact, Wednesday is a pretty raw day. Temperatures will stay in the low 40s, we’ll have an onshore wind, and drizzle or a light shower all day long. But we’ll snap out of it quickly and have a shot at 70° or more by Thursday!Rain chances will also increase the next few days but no day is a total washout. Tuesday will have a few spotty showers ma...

Boston health officials urge residents to update MassHealth information to keep benefits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:33 GMT

The Boston Public Health Commission is urging residents to update their MassHealth information to keep their coverage, as the MassHealth redetermination period for renewing benefits is now in effect.Redetermination took place each year before the COVID-19 pandemic to verify MassHealth eligibility. However, federal law waived this requirement starting in March 2020 to ensure continuous coverage for residents.But now, the continuous coverage policy ended on April 1, requiring state Medicaid programs like MassHealth to bring back the redetermination period.The Boston Public Health Commission is now reminding residents to ensure that MassHealth has their most up-to-date contact information and report any changes in their household — such as a new job, changes to income, disability status, or pregnancy.Boston is currently home to more than 300,000 MassHealth members, and some may no longer be eligible for MassHealth coverage.“Ensuring our residents maintain their MassHealth c...

Knicks may become the next loser of Kyrie Irving’s disastrous season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:33 GMT

The Knicks may not be able to avoid Kyrie Irving’s destruction.With the Mavericks in a freefall ever since acquiring the point guard, the team is “seriously considering” shutting down Irving and Luka Doncic for the remainder of the season to assure an ideal spot in the draft lottery, according to The Athletic.Such a move would hurt the Knicks because they own Dallas’ first-round pick and it’s top-10 protected. The Mavericks (37-42) currently own the NBA’s 10th-worst record and losing the rest of the games likely means the pick wouldn’t convey this year to New York. If the Mavericks stay in the 10th-worst spot, for instance, there’s an 80% chance the pick falls in the top-10. If the Mavericks move to ninth-worst spot (which is certainly possible if they’re tanking games), there’s a 96% chance the pick falls in the top-10.The Knicks have no other first-round picks in the 2023 draft.Since acquiring Irving from the Nets in Febr...
