• Newton Police Looking To Identify Person Possibly Involved In Vandalism Incident (patch.com) — Newton residents are being asked to help police identify a man caught on surveillance video allegedly ripping the door handle off a Tesla on Washington Street in Newtonville. Described as a white man wearing a dark bucket hat and a gray "NEWTONVILLE MA" T-shirt, he was seen shortly before the August 24 incident, and detectives are seeking tips by phone or email.
• 'I did not retire': Ann Berwick sets record straight as administration explains sustainability shift (newtonbeacon.org) — Newton is reshaping its climate and sustainability work by moving the office into DPW and replacing co-chair Ann Berwick, who says she was abruptly fired. City leaders say the shift reflects a move from planning to on-the-ground projects, including school infrastructure, waste reduction, and decarbonization, while longtime sustainability staff stay on to implement the city's ambitious climate goals.
• Duke field hockey holds on for 1-0 victory against Richmond, completes undefeated opening weekend (dukechronicle.com) — Duke field hockey just capped an undefeated opening weekend and now turns its attention to a marquee matchup against top-ranked Northwestern in Newton.
