📰 News we're reading

1. Haverhill to Consider E. Broadway Taking, Status of Water Main-Damaged Home (whav.net) — Haverhill city councilors are set to vote tonight on buying East Broadway land for a new drinking water well and borrowing to fund it, a move that could slightly raise water bills. They’ll also discuss a water-main-damaged Groveland Street home, school roof funding, expanded park vending, cannabis lounge and B&B permit delays, and plans for this month’s Multicultural Festival.
   

2. Haverhill Maintains Round-the-Clock Presence at Mill Demolition (whav.net) — Haverhill officials are keeping Stevens Street closed and staffing the fire-ravaged mill site around the clock while demolition continues near Little River. Nearby businesses remain shut out until at least June 12 as the city manages air quality, fire risk, and a multimillion-dollar teardown funded by an emergency council authorization.
   

3. Monday's softball roundup: Methuen strikes early for Division 1 road win at Needham (bostonglobe.com) — Haverhill High’s softball team fell just short in the state Division 1 first round, dropping a 4–3 heartbreaker to Franklin on a walk-off RBI. The roundup also highlights other Massachusetts tournament games, but for Hillies fans the key takeaway is a strong postseason showing that ended in a one-run road loss.
   

4. Former Manufacturing Executive Dies at 89 (ryerecord.com) — Haverhill readers may recognize William Anthony Fallon as the former president and owner of Powell Supply in Haverhill, remembered here in a detailed obituary. The 89‑year‑old manufacturing executive, lifelong sports fan, and devoted family man is honored for his leadership, patriotism, and deep commitment to his children and grandchildren.
