The organizers of the East Boston Youth Basketball regret to inform everyone that the 2020/21 season is currently on hold indefinitely due to Covid 19. A spokesperson for the group said, “ we regret this and would like to thank everyone for their understanding and patience. We would also like to say thank you to the following for their outstanding support of the program over the years Joe Ruggiero from Ruggiero Memorial Funeral Home, Joe Mario from Mario 21 Real Estate, and The East Boston Athletic Board. We also received a grant this past year from the East Boston Foundation. These contributions subsidize close to 200 participants each year. Finally, we would like to recognize our coaches and the staffs at Paris St. and The Marty Pino Center for all of their hard work. “

Trial Court Operations Through Jan. 8
In light of the major increase in COVID-19 infections in Massachusetts and experience with court staff testing and courthouse closures, the Trial Court will extend the reduction of in-person court operations begun on Nov. 27 through Jan. 8, 2021. Courthouses will remain open during this time, and Trial Court staff will be maximizing remote work and leveraging the technologies in place to conduct operations remotely.
The reduction of in person hearings has the potential to significantly limit pre-symptomatic individuals from entering courthouses, and reduces the potential of those individuals infecting others.
Trial Court leaders have concluded that this plan is the best approach to balancing the need to provide access to courts and protecting the health and safety of court staff and court users.
To the extent possible, matters already scheduled during this time will be held as virtual proceedings. Parties, attorneys and court users with questions about matters scheduled during this time should contact the appropriate clerk’s, register’s, or recorder’s office.
