If you were thinking of waiting to decorate for the holidays, you might want to reconsider. Many local farms across the state say they are selling out of fresh cut Christmas trees. At White Gate Farm in West Newbury, owner Pat Kelly told 7NEWS all of the 18-acre farm’s 600 trees were gone in just the first two days of operation this season.Elsewhere, the Massachusetts Christmas Tree Association on Tuesday said more than a dozen farms in the state had also already sold out of trees.“It’s just another normal year,” said Dave Morin of the Massachusetts Christmas Tree Association.“We can’t grow them as fast as people want them,” Morin said. “Also, the word is finally getting out that no tree is fresher than the one you watch being cut right in front of you.”Back at White Gate Farm, Kelly said the past three years “have been really kind of difficult” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “You couldn’t handle the place the way it used to be and we just sold so many more trees than we no...

Nikki Haley targets Trump in Iowa, NH ad blitz [+video]

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:13:46 GMT

Ahead of a fourth debate appearance and with her numbers climbing in early primary states, former U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley is launching her first advertising campaign of the primary and it seems to be aimed directly at her former boss.Titled Moral Clarity, the 30 second video will be broadcast on cable and across digital services in Iowa and New Hampshire, where the first caucus and first primary will occur, and where Haley has been making ground against former President Donald Trump.“A president must have moral clarity and know the difference between good and evil. Today, China, Russia, and Iran are advancing. There’s chaos in our streets and college campuses. Our security is threatened at home and abroad. It’s time for a new generation of conservative leadership. We have to leave behind the chaos and drama of the past and strengthen our country, our pride, and our purpose,” Haley says in the ad.If that’s not a shot at Trump, who no longer causes as much turmoil with his tweets b...

Ticker: Some OPEC+ members will cut the oil that they send to the world to try to boost prices; Drivers would pay $15 to enter busiest part of NYC under plan to raise funds for mass transit

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:13:46 GMT

The OPEC oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia and allied producers including Russia made another big swipe at propping up lagging crude prices Thursday, expanding some output cuts into next year and bringing up-and-coming oil supplier Brazil into the fold.Lower oil prices have been a good thing for U.S. drivers, who have been able to fill their gas tanks for less money in recent months. But it’s bad news for OPEC+ countries whose oil income bolsters their economies and who have faced setbacks in pushing prices higher despite initial fears that the Israel-Hamas war could affect oil flows.The OPEC+ oil ministers came out of an online meeting with more than 2 million barrels per day in voluntary cuts through the first three months of next year and declared that Brazil would join the bloc in January, bringing one of the world’s fastest-growing oil producers into an alliance that is trying to rein in global supply.Drivers would pay $15 to enter busiest part of NYCMost drivers would pay $15 to ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:13:46 GMT

FOXBORO — There was no secret to how Fairhaven planned on winning the Division 6 Super Bowl against Salem on Thursday: Put the game in the hands of Justin Marques and a powerful offensive line.That plan worked almost to perfection. Marques set a Super Bowl record with 46 carries en route to 228 yards and four touchdowns and a 26-22 victory over the Witches.“Our offensive line was so powerful and was blowing people off the ball,” Fairhaven coach Derek Almeida said.The dominance of Fairhaven’s line was told in the final stats as 71 runs accounted for 371 of the Blue Devils’ 377 total yards.“That offensive line is the reason we are state champions,” Marques said. “They believe in each other and we’re so good.”The Fairhaven defense also stepped to the fore, holding Salem 14 points below its season average and forcing three turnovers, two which they turned into touchdowns.“What killed us was the turnovers, something that we haven’t done all season,” Salem coach Matt Bouchard said. ...

Investors buying up homes in Massachusetts at red-hot pace: report

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:13:46 GMT

An investor purchased one in every five homes sold between 2004 and 2018 across Greater Boston, a recent finding that housing advocates say is not surprising and one that confirms what they’ve seen anecdotally in their communities over the past decade.The Metropolitan Area Planning Council released a report this week, dubbed “Homes for Profit: Speculation and Investment in Greater Boston,” showing that investors accounted for 21% of total home sales in the region during the period.Roughly 87% of the transactions involved single-family homes and condominiums, with investor activity increasing from 16% of purchases in 2004 to 23% in 2018, the report found.The number of housing units being flipped over in less than two years came as a surprise to MAPC Executive Director Marc Draisen. Researchers found that large and institutional investors flipped nearly a quarter of single-family homes and a fifth of two-family homes that they purchased, compared to rates of just 8 and 9%, respectivel...

Push for professional soccer stadium in Everett dropped from Beacon Hill budget bill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:13:46 GMT

A push to develop a soccer stadium in Everett stalled out on Beacon Hill Thursday after state lawmakers chopped a proposal from a multi-billion budget bill, putting ice on an idea that had drawn support from Robert Kraft.House lawmakers pushed for the proposal last year and the Senate included language connected to a professional soccer stadium in the city in a nearly $3.1 billion supplemental budget this session that has since become the subject of a procedural battle on Beacon Hill.But as Democratic negotiators announced a deal on the budget bill, it became clear that the soccer stadium language was dropped. House budget writer Rep. Aaron Michlewitz said lawmakers had a “lot of unanswered questions” about what environmental impacts a potential stadium could have on the city.“There was a lot of confusion coming from the environmental groups. Some said they supported it, some said they were against it. I think we still have a lot of things to iron out and flush out,” Michlewitz said...
