• 9 road trip snacks that won't melt, spoil, or fall apart (qz.com) — A detailed guide breaks down which snacks survive long, hot car rides without melting, spoiling, or crumbling, from jerky and trail mix to freeze‑dried fruit and oat bars. Newton gets a fun shout‑out: the classic Fig Newton bar, recommended here as a road‑trip‑safe option, was first produced in Newton and still follows that original fig‑and‑pastry formula.
• September Celebrity Birthdays (royalexaminer.com) — A roundup of September celebrity birthdays highlights actors, musicians, and athletes from around the world, including Bruce Springsteen, Zendaya, and George R.R. Martin. Newton readers get a local connection too: comedian and actress Amy Poehler is noted here with her roots in Newton offering a hometown tie to the month's star‑studded celebrations.
• Women's Soccer Tops Dartmouth, 1-0 (bceagles.com) — Boston College women's soccer stayed unbeaten with a 1–0 win over Dartmouth at the Newton Soccer Complex, thanks to a second-half goal from Addy Kalaw. The Eagles controlled possession, piled up shots and corners, and saw goalkeeper Faith Fenwick secure her first career shutout, giving local fans another strong performance to cheer in Newton.
