ACUSHNET Shane Martin s trademark smile was as infectious as ever as the community gathered on May 3 at a tree planting ceremony at Ford Middle School.
Martin, 44, of Dartmouth died at home on April 30 after a nine-month battle with pancreatic cancer. A beloved teacher, father, husband and mentor to many in the Acushnet community, Martin s influence was evident through the countless speeches from colleagues and family.

Martin was a grade 6 math teacher at Ford Middle School for 22 years. What made his experience special was that he too sat in those same classrooms as a student.

New Bedford Homeless Children Receive Friends of Jack Duffle Bags
A major problem on the SouthCoast that too often goes undetected is a problem with teenaged homelessness. For a variety of different reasons, there are hundreds of New Bedford teens that use the practice of couch surfing. Instead of living in a stable home, these teens bounce from one friend or relative s home to another, carrying only their essentials with them.
Many times, these children travel from one location to another stuffing their clothes and belongings into black trash bags. When the Friends of Jack Foundation heard about this problem, they knew they needed to do something to help.
