In the News…

News from the past week
  • * Tape grass threatens Dudley Pond. Work will begin at Dudley Pond this week to remove invasive tape grass, which threatens the popular recreation spot. “It’s impossible to swim there and boat there,” said Mike Lowery, who has lived near the pond for 25 years. Approximately nine of the pond’s 84 acres – or 10.7 percent – is covered with the ribbon-like freshwater plant, an invasive species.
     
  • * Wayland’s Touch a Truck draws 2000.  The consensus was clear. Out of all the big-wheeled vehicles on display at this year’s Touch a Truck event, youngsters Nico and Anna Gatti preferred the bright red firetruck.

Become 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.
Because of the constant demand for tutoring, all available tutors are now working with students, and the next tutor-training course has been scheduled. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program director Ginny Steel is currently enrolling prospective tutors for the five-session course that starts on October 15. The class will meet at the Wayland Library on five Monday evenings 6-9pm. Class dates this fall are October 15, 22 and 29 and November 5 and 19 (not meeting on Veterans Day). 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 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.
Resources for ESL tutors and learners are available online here.

Join Sudbury Valley New Horizons Music
Love music? You know… it is never too late to go back to your instrument or start a new one! One of our members went back to his violin at age 87 after not playing for 70 years! He is 90 now and still playing! And, we have beginners in their 70s and 80s. Make a new year resolution and come play with us. We have a Concert Band (woodwinds, brass & percussion) and a String Ensemble (violin, viola, cello & bass) and range in age from 30-something to 90. Go to our website for more information, svnhm.org, or contact Diane Muffitt at muffitt@svnhm.org or 978-261-5065.
