Fall brings drama to Stage 212 with “The Shark is Broken,” a seriocomic look at the making of “Jaws” by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon. “The Shark is Broken” will be presented Nov. 13-15 and 20-22 at the La Salle theater. “The Shark is Broken” takes a comedic deep dive into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with dueling co-stars, unpredictable weather and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. Short tempers and short circuits of “Jaws” stars Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble and pray for an end to the film shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever. Appearing in the cast are Forrest Boes as Richard Dreyfuss, Joshua Bush as Roy Scheider and Jeff Sudakov as Robert Shaw. Production staff includes director Dave Roden, co-producers Amanda Hillstrom and Larry Kelsey, assistant director Jennifer Rexius, costume/prop coordinator Vicky Bickel, set builder Douglas Alleman, technical/artistic associate Lisa Gifford, light operator Yvette Lucas and sound operator Kyle Foley.

Instead, regulations vary from one state to the next, and the amusement park industry has for decades fought against changes to strengthen federal oversight. In Georgia, annual inspections are overseen by the state’s Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner. The office has said it “maintains extensive safety requirements” and annual inspections, which “include reviews of required documentation, mechanical conditions, safety equipment and the safe operation of rides.” Goliath passed its most recent inspection on March 16.

Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins speaks during a forum for candidates for governor at the Alaska Hospital and Healthcare Association annual conference at the Alyeska Hotel in Girdwood on September 16, 2026. (Marc Lester / ADN) Alaskans are hurting at the pump, with prices for gas and heating fuel driven up by the war in Iran. The state treasury, on the other hand, is benefiting. “The next governor is, for worse or better, walking into a relatively privileged position where there’s a meaningful projected surplus because of the cost of oil,” said Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, a Democratic candidate for governor. Kreiss-Tomkins, a former state lawmaker from Sitka, is the only candidate in the race who has promised he would introduce a balanced budget — one that does not rely on state savings — if elected. The war in Iran, and the ensuing increase in the price of North Slope crude, could make that promise easier to fulfill. If oil prices remain higher than projected through the fiscal year that began in July, the state could have hundreds of millions of dollars — and potentially over $1 billion — in surplus revenue as leaders begin crafting the next budget.

“After careful reflection, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Lieutenant Governor,” Oliver said in a statement shared Sunday afternoon by a spokesperson for the state Republican Party. “This election is too important to be overshadowed by personal matters. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me throughout this journey and ask that my family’s privacy be respected during this difficult time.”With early voting already underway and hundreds of thousands of people already having submitted their ballots by mail, Oliver’s name will remain on voters’ ballots alongside Minogue’s. Minogue said earlier Sunday that beyond calling on Oliver to end his campaign, he would “formally ask for his resignation” should both he and the New Bedford city councilor be elected Nov. 3. Minogue and Oliver were challenging Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, both first-term Democrats who have led the Republican nominees by a wide margin in public polling. A New Bedford police spokesperson said officers responded around 11:40 p.m.

In just a couple weeks, voters will decide whether it’s a good idea to vote away property taxes. But what happens after that?

The Patriots managed to hold on for a 26-19 victory over the Jets Sunday afternoon, but appear to be moving forward with a makeshift offensive line. The team will have just three days to rebuild the depth of the unit before its Thursday night showdown against the Bears. “Seeing three guys in my position group go down, basically within two quarters of each other, was absolutely insane,” said Walter Rouse, who entered the game for Brown. “It was crazy.” Get Point AfterGet exclusive analysis and insight on the Patriots and the NFL, delivered to your inbox on weekdays during the season. Enter EmailAt the beginning of the second quarter, everything seemed to be fine when Moses was blocking Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey. But he ended up taking a knee at the end of play. It’s unclear what exactly happened. Moses, who has been battling a foot injury for the past four weeks, slowly limped off the field and spent more than 15 minutes in the blue medical tent. He did not return and was spotted in the locker room wearing a boot on his right foot. Rookie Caleb Lomu entered the game at right tackle.

The police chief is escalating his allegations of retaliation.

Thank you, New York Jets. That’s 15 out of the last 16 here at Gillette. Things didn’t go New England’s way for much of the day, but it didn’t matter. It never matters when it’s the Jets. The Jets can possess the football for almost two-thirds of the first half and still go to the locker room trailing, 17-3. The Pats can spend a good portion of the game on their heels, keep losing offensive lineman — is John Hannah available? — and turn the ball over a couple more times. A. J.

At the end of the day, the Jets are gonna Jet. On Sunday, they went 0 for 3 in the red zone and 0 for 2 on fourth-down tries. They failed on every blitz and gave us some textbook blown coverages. “We were lucky to win,” Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said. “We just didn’t play very well. We tried to beat ourselves.
