Local Athlete Goes Royal, A Dog Park Fundraiser & More

1. Good day, sunshine: These are the type of weather reports I love to write - Tuesday will see highs in the low 80s under clear skies.

2. This day in Melrose history: This is not how I’d want to be remembered in the history books - Melrose resident John C. Sheehan is arrested in Portland, Maine and sentenced to 90 days in jail after stealing five pairs of overalls from a store on July 30, 1942.

His excuse?

“I was drinking, Your Honor,” Sheehan reportedly told the judge. “I don’t know what I would do with five pairs of overalls.”

3. Melrose athlete competes in Royal Regatta: Congrats to Melrose resident and BC High School 2013 graduate James Eisenberg, who competed in the British Henley Royal Regatta this month.

4. Fundraiser for the Melrose Dog Park: The Melrose Dog Society will hold the fun ceremony from 7 p.m. to midnight Tuesday, in which volunteers will act as guest bartenders to raise money for the park - don't forget to try the "Dog Days Sangria!"

5. Jobs Listings: After a brief disappearance during our switch to Patch 2.0, our Jobs board is back! We’ll be featuring great jobs in the Melrose area every Tuesday morning.
