Police arrested a Danvers man shortly after midnight on Thursday after he turned up at a woman's mobile home, which was in violation of a restraining order the woman had against him. Scott Bump, 56, was arrested and arraigned later that day on charges of breaking and entering for a felony, larceny over $250, three counts of malicious destruction of property and violation of a restraining order.

The National Transportation Safety Board recommends reducing the limit. Some say it would save lives. Others say it's unreasonable.
One drink could be the standard for drunken driving – at least for some people if the National Transporation Safety Board has its way. On Tuesday, the NTSB recommended states lower the blood-alcohol threshold for driving under the influence from 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent. What do you think? Is the proposal reasonable? About 10,000 deaths a year are related to drunken driving. The NTSB says the lower limit would save 500 to 800 lives a year. Officials at the American Beverage Institute called the proposal "ludicrous." It said the average woman could reach the 0.05 percent limit by having one drink. There were 114 DUI fatalities in Massachusetts in 2012, which were 34 percent of traffic-related fatalities last year, according to Mothers…
A mother duck and ducklings got separated by a storm drain at an apartment complex on Route 1 before firefighters came to the rescue.
Brian Barry of the Danvers Fire Department tells us that the crew aboard Engine 2 came to the rescue of nine little ducklings that fell into a storm drain at Endicott Green yesterday. "On arrival they discovered that the mother duck had walked over a storm drain, but the nine ducklings following her were not so lucky. They fell through the grates like lemmings and were in the water about 8 feet below," said Barry. He said Acting Lt. David Morin and firefighters Rob Parsons and Marc Santorella then removed the storm drain cover, placed a ladder in the hole and Santorella climbed down. At the bottom of the drain, in water just deep enough to cover his boots, Santorella found the ducklings safe and sound. They were then all carried out of the…
