Timelessly Tacky 
Exploring the intersection of sacred and secular. I worked  for my parents’ electrical service company in college. That knowledge has proved most valuable over the years, but not always how I expected.  My brother’s friend from high school, Brian, also worked for my parents, in the office as tech support and as a general…

Seeking Shelter: Fully Known
Seeking Shelter is a column that invites deeper thoughts about the meaning of it all by exploring the nexus of life and faith. In honor of a habemusing a papam, I want to take us back — back to an iconic moment in 1999, when New Jersey’s Cardinal Glick introduced the Catholicism WOW! campaign.…
State Aid in Sudbury
Sudbury Weekly recently covered the release of a Town of Sudbury Financial Report and Reference Guide that provides a detailed analysis of Sudbury’s financial position, including comparisons to similar communities. Sudbury Weekly then published a follow-up on school spending, and will continue to cover some of the insights brought forward by the report. This week, we’re looking at Sudbury’s…
Lincoln-Sudbury Students Take Up the Mantle
Sudbury's 2025 Annual Town Meeting has been slow moving, particularly considering the outcomes of the votes haven't been very close. Yet one article, Article 34, inspired an urgency that was absent in most of the other articles. Article 34 would provide additional funds for repairs to the Atkinson Pool. When the article came…
25 Years of Citizen Petitions
Sudbury has three Citizen Petitions on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant this year. It's fairly typical for there to be at least one Citizen Petition on the warrant.

Analyzing School Spending in Sudbury
A recent report issued by the Town of Sudbury presented school spending in a manner that many residents don’t typically think of school spending.

April Showers
Sudbury weather for April lived up to the theme of April Showers. The area received rain on 17 days for the month. But, no big rain storms were embedded in the monthly rainfall numbers. Hence we continue to run somewhat sub par on our precipitation values. And yes a little snow was thrown in but…
Creature Comfort
“I used to rescue bugs outside at recess,” laughs Ashley Makridakis. “Everyone else was playing tag and I was taking care of my own little ant farm. My sisters would see a spider and they’d be screaming,’Kill it!’ and I would be running over with my cup to save it and bring it outside.” …

The Spitfire Grill is a Surefire Hit
It’s no secret that one of the best theaters in Boston is in Concord—at The Umbrella. So, it was surprising to see the theater not quite half full during The Spitfire Grill’s preview weekend on Saturday night. That should change: this production is firing on all pistons, especially its lead character, Percy Talbott, played by…
