IRONWOOD - The new ice-making system at the Patrick O'Donnell Civic Center is allowing summer open skating for the first time. Civic center manager Brian Roehm said Tuesday he hopes for a good turnout of skaters from Friday through July 4, a test period for the new system. The new ice-making equipment was first used last fall and Roehm had no complaints about how it performed during the winter months. "With kids being out of school, we're hoping for a good response. Word is getting out," Roehm...
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - For Queen Elizabeth II, one throne is enough. The United Kingdom's 88-year-old monarch toured the Belfast sets of the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones" and met many of its stars Tuesday beside the show's sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne. Unlike many visitors to Belfast's Titanic Studios, the monarch declined to try out a throne legendarily forged from a thousand blades for the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. Instead, she received a miniature model as a gi...

This question has to be decided by the majority of voters, not by self-serving individuals. L...
To the Editor: For nine seasons I have enjoyed watching “America’s Got Talent,” or AGT — until June 17. AGT is billed as a family show, but the audition of 12-year-old Josh Orlian as a “stand-up comedian” ruined that image. The sixth grade boy recited “jokes” that were all of sexual nature. For this to be allowed and then to be given four “yes” votes by the judges is disheartening. An older person reciting such garbage would have been viewed as perverted. So why was this child given applause and the opportunity to perform again? Is this the...
