Walpole overcomes lackluster season to win back-to-back South sectional golf titles; Feehan's Hanley Correia is medalist
The Timberwolves pulled away from the field on a sunny, warm Tuesday afternoon, winning a second straight sectional crown with a 371 score, besting the Red Hawks (389) and Duxbury (394). Bishop Feehan junior Hanley Correia was the individual medalist with a 2-over-par 74. 'I told them after our last match, we lost to Needham, that the season hadn't gone the way I expected,' said second-year Walpole coach Vivian Kolovos, a Barnstable graduate. 'I'm so pleasantly surprised that this happened today and they all pulled through. It's just amazing.'

Some of the teams here beat us in the league. But I knew the girls would stick together and we played great.'

'To be honest, I didn't think we'd [win] it,' Nosal said. 'We had a tough week when we lost a couple of matches and we practiced a lot. Today, we all gave it our all and we did it. It's crazy.'

(Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff) Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff About five hours before Walpole wrapped up its title, Correia finished her round three strokes ahead of Callie Crean of Hingham (77), who joined her in the first group off the tees. Correia, who won the sectional title as a freshman, bounced back from a fifth-place finish last year, when a 10 on the par-5 14th hole knocked her out of contention. So when she returned to that hole Tuesday, she took a breath and followed up a strong drive with a pin-high approach shot and putted out for the birdie, a six-shot improvement. It was Correia's second birdie of the day, following up on a strong drive on the par-4, 235-yard No. 10, where she cleared a row of trees to her right with a hybrid driver, allowing her to finish the back nine at 1-under after a 3-over front nine. 'It wasn't a good day for my approach shots, but luckily my chipping was good and I was able to come back with that,' she said. 'My chipping really saved me today.'

Brendan Kurie Correia has been playing since she was old enough to hold a club, learning the game at MGA Links in Norton (now The Links at Mass Golf), where she played with her older brother Chad, now a freshman at Bryant. Her father, Rod Correia, was a standout baseball player at Dighton-Rehoboth and UMass Dartmouth who went on to play 84 games with the California Angels from 1993-95, and her mother, Martha, was a former professional figure skater.

'I knew I was in contention. I didn't know if I'd end up pulling through,' she said. 'I'm happy my work paid off. It's a grind balancing schoolwork and practice every day. After I won it my freshman year I felt I had a reputation to keep up. I just hope I win it again next year.'

Salmon Holes rescue: Beach closed as police divers resume search for man who slipped off rocks into the ocean
Salmon Holes beach was closed on Monday as authorities resumed their search for a man who slipped off rocks into the sea on Friday. Albany police officer-in-charge Sen. Sgt Carlos Correia said rescuers had not given up hope. 'The search is continuing to locate the missing person,' he said. 'The family is aware. 'They saw the person leave the rocks and disappear, so we are making all efforts to try and find him. 'There may come a time when we cannot do anything further, but that time is not yet.' Emergency services were called to the rescue at 1.35pm on Friday with crews from Albany SES, Albany Career Fire and Rescue Services, Albany Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service, and St John WA attending. Two boats from Albany Sea Rescue along with police divers, drones and other surveillance equipment were used in the search over Friday, Saturday and Monday. Though the beach reopened on Sunday, it was closed again on Monday to allow divers to work without distraction from the public, Sen. Sgt Correia said. He said he was not sure when the beach would reopen. Witness Esmatullah Akbari, on holiday with his family from Perth, said he saw someone who had been fishing slip off the rocks into the water. The beach is a popular fishing spot near Albany and notoriously dangerous. A 29-year-old woman was swept out to sea while fishing on the rocks in March last year with a bystander swimming to her rescue. Experienced fisherman Paul Smetham, of Little Grove, said it was time the rocks were made off limits during the Easter holidays. 'People should not be allowed on the rocks during the Easter break,' he said. 'It doesn't take much of a wave to sweep you off your feet. 'They shouldn't be called the Salmon Holes, they should be called the 'drowning holes'. 'That might put people off coming there. 'Even if people have life jackets, it's not enough. 'They give you a false sense of security and a lot of visitors have no experience of them. 'There is a major rip and the rocks have razor sharp barnacles and shells.' Signs along Frenchman Bay Road exhort holiday-makers to 'fish safely, fish from the beach'. It was the second time in a week that emergency services were called to Torndirrup National Park after a female hiker fell down a ravine at Stony Hill on Easter Monday.

Cranston man pleads no contest in improper solicitation for Barrington police union fund
A Cranston man working for a fundraising company pleaded no contest to charges in what authorities said was a scheme to encourage donations to the Barrington police officers' union by referring to the deaths of a Barrington mother and son in a plane crash. Edward Lima, 54, had been charged with two misdemeanor counts of obtaining money under false pretenses under $1,500. Lima worked for a company called TCI America, which contracted with the police union for its annual fundraising campaign. The use of a contracted company to raise funds for public safety unions is commonplace, said Police Chief Col. Michael E. Correia in announcing Lima's arrest and the result of an investigation. 'At no time did any member of the Barrington Police union authorize TCI America or any of their employees to use the Lane family to encourage a donation," Correia said last month. Sixteen-year-old figure skater Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine Conrad Lane, were killed in a midair collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29. They were among the 67 people on board a passenger jet that collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. Lima turned himself in and received a one-year suspended sentence and one year probation, said Correia. TCI fully cooperated with the investigation, and two people who donated to the fund after Lima's encouragements were reimbursed, said Correia.

Barrington police investigate police union fundraiser
BARRINGTON – The Barrington police and Rhode Island Attorney General's Office are investigating after a fundraiser for the department's police union allegedly encouraged donations by referring to the death of a Barrington mother and son in a plane crash. Police Chief Col. Michael E. Correia said the reference was believed to have been made more than once by a now former employee of a company contracted to raise money for the union. "At no time did any member of the Barrington Police union authorize TCI America or any of their employees to use the Lane Family to encourage a donation," Correia said in a press release. Sixteen-year-old figure skater Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine Conrad Lane, were killed in a mid-air collision at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C. on Jan. 26. They were among the 67 people on board a passenger jet that collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. Spencer Lane was one of several victims who were members of the Skating Club of Boston returning from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Spencer's father, Doug, and brother, Milo, were not on the plane. The Police Department started its investigation into the fundraising on Feb. 21 after the administrator of Temple Habonim contacted the police about "a suspicious fundraising solicitation," according to Correia. The police were told that an employee of TCI America, the fundraising company, asked the administrator and the rabbi for a donation on behalf of the police union, Correia said. The employee also referenced the Lane family, Correia said. The police have discovered two donations linked to the use of the Lane family's name, according to Correia. The police have also identified the person who solicited the donations and believe the "scheme" is limited to the former employee, Correia said. The police say they have identified additional victims and will continue to investigate, Correia said. "Every effort will be made to return all donations obtained by this 'scheme,' " Correia said. The police ask anyone who believes they were a victim to contact them at 401-437-3930. TCI America is cooperating with the investigation, Correia said. The police will seek charges against "any and all persons involved," if they find probable cause of a crime, Correia said.
