GLOUCESTER HARBOR CRUISE HONORS LOCAL COUPLE

Harbor Cruise

Mollie and John Byrnes were honored last week on a Gloucester Harbor cruise fundraising event featuring live entertainment and a silent auction.

The Gloucester residents invited others in the community to join them in supporting a new Cardiology Suite at Addison Gilbert Hospital with a $150,000 challenge grant to the Addison Gilbert Society.

“We are so pleased to support the new Cardiology Suite, and delighted that Dr. Michael Arsenian is heading this important service at Addison Gilbert Hospital,” said John Byrnes.

In April, the brand new Cardiology Suite at Addison Gilbert Hospital opened. Featuring two physician offices, two patient exam rooms, a registration area, and a spacious and comfortable waiting area for patients and family members, the suite is conveniently located adjacent to the hospital’s main entrance and close to frequently needed diagnostic and treatment areas. The new practice is led by Michael Arsenian, MD, a well-known and well-respected cardiologist.

“Here on Cape Ann, we are confronted with a high-risk population for cardiac needs. These patients deserve high-quality care as close to home as possible. Our new suite addresses that concern by providing patients with the best cardiology services under one roof, without delay,” said Dr. Arsenian.

More than $75,000 has been raised to date to meet the challenge and support the Cardiology Suite. Community support has been instrumental in this initiative that streamlines cardiac care for Cape Ann residents.

MANCHESTER, MA—July 27, 2015. MAC Tennis Academy had an unprecedented 34 tennis players competing in this year’s New England Junior Section Championships—including the Girls 16 Champion.

The tournament, which was held at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA, invites the top 32 players in New England from the 12-, 14-, 16- and 18-year-old age groups to compete for a championship. This year, the MAC Tennis Academy program, which is run out of Manchester Athletic Club, has trained one of the tournament’s champions as well as two finalists and three additional semifinalists.

In the Girls 16s singles, the top spot was taken by Julia Newman of Natick, winner of the New England championship. Topsfield resident, Sasha Wood, bested almost everyone in her age group, making it to the finals of the Girls 14s event. Semifinalists included Ray Boppana of Boxborough who took 3rd place in the Boys 16s as well as Emily Parkerson of West Roxbury and Charles Shewalter of Winchester who each placed 4th in the Girls 12s and Boys 18s respectively. In the backdraw, MAC Tennis Academy players won both the Girls and Boys 14s with Brendan Jimenez of Lynn and Eleanor Schulson of Newburyport. Backdraw finalists included Bedford’s Ben Biswas in the Boys 18s and Winchester’s Sydney Weinberg in the Girls 16s who was also the recipient of the well-respected sportsmanship award.

“This year we were represented at sectionals by more players than ever before,” said Todd Carpenter, Director of Tennis at Manchester Athletic Club. “It’s a testament to our growing program and a direct result of the commitment of our players, parents and coaches.” The academy is helmed by Director Francisco Montoya and Manager Celeste Frey.
