Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'A lot of stuff got done': Lafleur garners $9,353 bonus after 'good' year (concordbridge.org) — Concord's Select Board has awarded Town Manager Kerry Lafleur a $9,353 performance bonus after a challenging year marked by lawsuits, a CFO firing, and financial concerns. Board and staff reviews cite progress on communication, budgeting, and the new stormwater utility fee, while still flagging issues like road safety coordination and historic marker disputes as ongoing work.
• A tiny turtle raised at a Massachusetts zoo was released into the wild in 2011 and disappeared from researchers for 12 years — she resurfaced as a healthy adult, laid her own eggs, and now two of her (scienceblog.com) — A long-running turtle conservation effort at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord has now produced a second generation of Blanding's turtles, including two hatchlings released there this June. Ivy, a turtle hatched from eggs laid near a Concord office park, survived 12 years unseen in the marsh before returning to nest, offering rare proof that local "headstarting" work is paying off.
