In the News…
News from the past week
* Wayland selectmen back liquor license for The Dudley Chateau. Selectmen have approved a new liquor license that a Crest Road restaurant needs to resume serving alcoholic drinks. The license for The Dudley Chateau now goes to the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission for approval. Selectmen did not hear concerns about the business during a hearing on Monday, board Chairwoman Lea Anderson said.
* Wayland Police Department gets new sergeant. The Police Department’s newest sergeant brings law enforcement and military experience to the job. Officer Christopher Custodie was formally sworn in and promoted to the rank of sergeant at Monday’s selectmen meeting.
* More research needed into changing Wayland school start times. Officials are hitting the pause button on changing school start times to further study the topic. Superintendent Arthur Unobskey had recommended making a change for next school year as he sought to help adolescents get more sleep.
* The new student information system: what’s in it now, and what’s coming. This year the Schools have implemented a new Student Information System called eSchoolPlus. Hopefully, by now, school families have been able to register and login and have become familiar with the system. With our first report cards and progress reports distributed, this is the time to make sure you know what eSchoolPlus is about, and what to expect in the months and years to come.
* Two sports honors this past week from the Boston Globe:
* Michael Jones named Division 3 Boys Soccer athlete of the year
* Joey Luchetti (Lawrence Academy) named All-Scholastic in Football
How you can help…
You can access the announcements below on our website:
Becoming a tutor of English.Have you ever thought about tutoring someone in English? Most people who decide to become tutors are thinking of the good it can do, helping others become more proficient in English and better able to cope with employment, landlords, schools or the medical profession. But then they discover the rewards, the satisfaction that comes as progress is made and a relationship develops that enriches both learner and tutor. Tutors often speak of their pleasure in learning about another culture and their greater appreciation for the challenges facing those who are adapting to ours. The Wayland Library sponsors an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program that serves a wide area around Wayland. Because of the constant demand for tutoring, all available tutors are now working with students, and the next tutor-training course has been scheduled. Program director Ginny Steel is currently enrolling prospective tutors for the five-session course that starts on February 26. The class will meet at the Wayland Library on five consecutive Monday mornings, 9:30-12:30. No prior knowledge of a foreign language is needed, just an openness to other cultures and the desire to share your knowledge of English. The training is free, although it is necessary to purchase a textbook (later) for about $20. For more information or to enroll in the tutor-training course, you can phone Ginny Steel at 508-358-7517 or email her at virginia@thesteels.com.

The Wayland Community Fund serves Wayland residents who need financial assistance

The Wayland residents who were helped included elderly individuals with serious illnesses, single parents who were out of work, a severely disabled parent with small children, and a family who had taken in children who were at risk.

Now Open: Mainstone Farm Trails in Wayland. SVT and the Town of Wayland have finished the trails at Mainstone Farm and have opened a small parking area at a new trail head on Rice Road. The Hamlen Family, which owns the farm, agreed to put trails on the property when they sold a conservation restriction to the Town and SVT in April 2017. The new trails meander through the forested portion of Mainstone Farm and connect with trails on adjacent conservation lands, creating a network of more than 11 miles of trails in the heart of Wayland. When you visit, please remember that the farm is still privately owned and large portions of the land are not open to the public. Please stay on marked trails. For directions and a trail map, see Hamlen Woods and Mainstone Farm.
Did you know LEDs reduce lighting energy (and cost) by 85% compared with standard bulbs? And they don’t burn out nearly as quickly. In this season of lights, switching to inexpensive LEDs is an excellent way to make a difference. But where’s the best place to find them? And how do you know which ones work best? Your MassEnergize Wayland volunteers researched local lighting suppliers and concluded that Wayland Home and Design, located at 70 Andrew Street in Town Center, offers the best combination of expert advice, product selection and competitive cost. They have a buy-one-get-one free promotion until the end of the year, and they have a great choice of LED Christmas lights. Finding a local place to buy LEDs is just a start. To learn more about LEDs and find more good deals on solar energy, home repairs, electric cars, recycling and so much more, visit www.MassEnergize.org. Join the collective genius in caring for our common home!

The Bounty sailed away seeking safe haven. What happened to the men in the open boat? What happened to the mutineers?
