• This Abandoned Massachusetts Hospital Is Creepy Enough To Scare Ghost Hunters (takingthekids.com) — Medfield's historic State Hospital campus, once a pioneering psychiatric facility and now known for ghost stories and film shoots, is also home to the Bellforge Arts Center's free concerts and events. The town stresses that all old cottages are off-limits, with Medfield Police enforcing no-trespassing rules, but residents and visitors can still enjoy the public grounds, trails, and arts programming if they follow posted signs and stay in permitted areas.
• Restaurant crash, a fake ID mystery, and a squirrel gets stuck in a Yoplait container (bostonglobe.com) — A recent Medfield police log entry describes a found Red Sox wallet containing what officers concluded was a fake ID, leading to a confusing back-and-forth with a woman claiming to be the owner's mother. The roundup also highlights a stolen-car report in Bridgewater and a Norfolk animal control officer rescuing a squirrel from a Yoplait container, underscoring regional public safety and wildlife concerns.
• Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana-Farber honors young Medfield man, supports colon cancer research lab (boston25news.com) — A Medfield family is turning their grief into action by partnering with a Dana-Farber research lab and leading a Jimmy Fund Walk team in memory of 30-year-old Adam Opiela, who died of metastatic colon cancer. Their annual walk raises money for gastrointestinal cancer research and spreads awareness that serious colon cancer can strike people in their twenties and thirties, encouraging earlier testing and community support.
