Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. The names of 9/11 victims with ties to Massachusetts (bostonglobe.com) — Several 9/11 victims are remembered as having ties to Brookline, including professionals in finance, technology, and firefighting whose lives and careers were rooted in Massachusetts. This detailed list honors them alongside dozens of others from across the state, offering Brookline residents a solemn reminder of neighbors and community members lost 25 years ago.
2. Globe Top 20 boys' and girls' cross-country polls: A few tweaks after Week 1 (bostonglobe.com) — Brookline High's boys' cross-country team opened its season strong, decisively defeating Needham 15–50 and holding the No. 5 spot in the Globe's statewide Top 20 poll. The rankings, based on reported scores, show little movement overall, but Bay State Conference results, including Brookline's win, shaped the early-season picture for competitive programs across Massachusetts.
3. Massachusetts Raises West Nile Virus Risk Level Following New Human Cases (memesita.com) — Brookline is currently classified at high risk for West Nile virus, alongside several nearby cities, as state health officials track seven human cases statewide and hundreds of positive mosquito samples. Residents are urged to eliminate standing water, use repellent, and take evening outdoor precautions, with experts warning that transmission risk will continue until the first hard frost arrives.
4. Jami Achor Loh (sciotovalleyguardian.com) — Brookline is mourning the loss of 61-year-old resident Jami Achor Loh, a longtime finance professional, animal welfare advocate, and devoted family member who settled in town with her husband after careers in Chicago and New York. Services will be held September 18 in Washington Court House, Ohio, and friends are invited to honor her memory through contributions to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
