A first of its kind blood donation drive on Wednesday aimed to help dogs in need while honoring fallen Yarmouth Police Sergeant Sean Gannon and his K-9 partner, Nero. Held at the Bourne Police Station, the first “Cape Cod Veterinary Services Canine Blood Drive” involved getting 15 canine donors screened to see if they qualified to help bank life-saving blood for dogs. “I just think on the fifth anniversary of Sean’s murder, it’s turned into an explosive day of goodness as is all the initiatives that have happened since his death,” Gannon’s mother Denise Morency Gannon said. Gannon’s father, Patrick Gannon said a shortage of canine blood poses a challenge when an animal needs a transfusion.

Gavin Sheets turned one way and then the other before losing his footing and falling while trying to catch Ryan Jeffers’ fly to right field in the fourth inning.Jeffers reached on a triple and scored when Andrew Vaughn bobbled Michael A. Taylor’s check-swing grounder to first, eliminating any opportunity for a double play or a throw to the plate.The Chicago White Sox didn’t have the sharpest series defensively. While they weren’t charged with an error Wednesday, those moments were costly in a 3-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in front of 17,658 at Target Field.“It was unfortunate,” Sheets said. “(Sox starter Lucas Giolito) had been jamming guys all day. Threw the ball extremely well. I thought (Jeffers) got jammed a little better, (I) took a hard step in and kind of got turned around with the ball fading into the wind. I feel terrible in that situation, especially with the way Gio is throwing the ball.“It’s frustrating. It’s ...

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An emotionally charged debate over Oregon’s gun-related legislation recently brought lawmakers on different sides of the issue near tears, reflecting a passionate divide over gun rights that is also playing out nationwide.One of the most sweeping bills being proposed in the politically diverse state — the one that led to highly personal speeches from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers at a committee hearing last week — would increase the purchasing age to 21 for AR-15s and similar types of guns, impose penalties for possessing undetectable firearms and allow for more limited concealed-carry rights.Republican lawmakers in Oregon said community safety depends on access to firearms, while Democrats conversely called for greater restrictions in the name of safety.The debate in the Oregon State Capitol comes as Democrats and Republicans across the country spar over gun rights, and as the number of gun violence deaths nationwide has risen to 11,767 so far th...
