Waves, rescues surge
SALISBURY BEACH — There has been little downtime for Salisbury Beach lifeguards over the past few days, as massive waves have led to frequent rescues and injuries to beach-goers.
Tuesday set a notable record: Lifeguards conducted at least 18 rescues, about half of all the rescues they have conducted this summer. Lifeguard supervisor George Nigro said a combination of warm water, hot temperatures, high surf and a high volume of swimmers led to the busy day. - MEMA: Earl's impacts still unclear

Labor Day Festival packs in final stanza of summer fun
Newburyport native Kathy Heywood is bringing back her Labor Day Festival for the second year, an event that marks the end of the summer season with a nod to helping local charities and organizations.
Heywood, a former chairwoman of Newburyport's Yankee Homecoming summer celebration, planned the festival last year after the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce & Industry decided not to hold its annual Buskers Festival, a longtime Labor Day weekend tradition in the city. - The Lookout: Artist's watercolors highlight 'Historic Port & Neighbors'

A new martial artist in town
AMESBURY — When kids are young, the prevailing message is “dare to dream, you can be whatever you want to be.” Seabrook native Jeremy Oneail is living proof that the imagination can inspire those words to come true.
Spurred on by his love of Dungeons and Dragons and all things medieval as a child, Oneail spent the month of May opening The Academy of Knightly Arts in Amesbury — a place where novices can come to learn the ways of the long sword and how folks fought on the battlefield in medieval times through a regimented program that studies the Knights of the Wild Roses' interpretation of the Flos Duellatorum manuscript written by Fiore de Liberi in 1409.

Highway sound barriers deserve closer look
With Interstates 495 and 95 converging together in our region, there's plenty of unwanted highway noise to go around.
The noise serves as the background hum across a wide corridor of Greater Newburyport. Try walking through Newburyport's Maudslay State Park on a quiet fall day, or an Amesbury neighborhood near scenic Point Shore, or through Newburyport's West End, and listen. It is noise pollution that perhaps we've all gotten a little too used to. And it will only get worse as traffic numbers grow. - Mass. education standards dropped for federal control

Economic theories and how they affect you
You are a victim of the fight between competing economic theories: Should governments spend more or should they reduce their debts?
While you may view this fight as the old political dialectic between Republicans ("less government") and Democrats ("more government"), the competition is global. The outcome of this struggle will affect everybody worldwide. How the struggle is resolved in the U.S. alone will not predict the outcome for Americans. - Business briefs
