The folks at Waltham Fields Community Farm posted a piece this morning on their website entitled Save the Waltham Field Station.  At first I was taken aback.  I never considered the prospect of WFCF ceasing its good work.  As I read the piece this sentence stood out like a sore thumb:

"It is our belief that the University is now considering a sale of the property to the City of Waltham."

NEBRASKA CITY, NE — Waltham, Massachusetts was named a 2017 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.

Waltham achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

Statement from Waltham Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Drew Echelson:

WALTHAM (March 29, 2018) — I am thrilled to announce that Rochelle Nwosu has accepted the role of Dual Language (DL) principal beginning July 2, 2018.
