2. Lexington committee votes to delay building a crematory at Westview Cemetery (lexobserver.org) — Lexington's Ad Hoc Crematory Study Committee II has voted 4–2 to delay building a crematory at Westview Cemetery, pausing a project meant to serve local Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist families. Supporters argue the facility would offer compassionate, culturally appropriate rites close to home, while opponents cite health, environmental, cost, and neighborhood concerns. Town leaders say the idea could be revisited as technology, funding, and community views evolve.
   

3. Volleyball Recap: Melrose Wins Going Away Against Lexington (maxpreps.com) — Lexington High's volleyball team just took its first loss of the season, falling 3–0 to Melrose in a tightly contested match where every set was decided by three points or fewer. Strong efforts from Akane Suzuki, Ela Sari, and Ally Lin weren't enough to turn the tide, and Lexington then dropped another 3–0 match to Winchester on the 22nd. The Minutemen now sit at 2–1 and will look to regroup quickly.
