Journalism assignment by Micayla Valeri.
The last movie I got to see in theaters just a couple weeks ago was, “The Three Stooges." If you are the kind of person that likes to laugh and likes comical movies, I would recommend this movie. Everyone knows "The Three Stooges" very well, since it use to be a popular TV show. But to make the movie better, they put Moe, Larry and Curly in an up to date form and in the present day environment. The movie started out in the beginning of their lives as babies.

Uncle Ed's homemade ice cream is crowned the best in Norton.
The results of this week’s Best Of Readers’ Choice series are in, and boy was it a close one! With 54 out of 112 votes, Uncle Ed’s Back Porch was voted as having the Best Ice Cream in Norton. Runner up McMahon’s Countryside Grille garnered 51 votes while Sundae Shack received 7. “The heck with Bliss, they [McMahon’s] remind me of Bristol Farms,” said Patch reader Brian.

Friday morning McMahon’s was ahead in the poll by a single vote, but by 9 a.m. today when polls closed, their ice cream supplied by The Ice Cream Machine wasn’t enough to beat out Uncle Ed’s homemade hit. They won by three votes. And then there’s our winner, Uncle Ed’s…
