Today's riddle: What has 2 arms and a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Men's Soccer Rallies to Edge Gordon in Season Opener, 2-1 (babsonathletics.com) — A Babson College men's soccer graduate student from Newton, Mass., contributed an assist as the Beavers rallied past Gordon College 2–1 in their season opener. The team extended its unbeaten streak in openers to 10 games and now heads to Keene State on Saturday, giving local fans a nearby chance to follow a Newton player's early-season form.
• Column: Farm fresh for 47 years and counting (newtonbeacon.org) — Newton's long-running Farmers' Market now draws hundreds of shoppers weekly to Cold Spring Park on Tuesdays and Newton North High School on Saturdays, offering far more than just produce. The column traces its chaotic 1979 beginnings, honors longtime manager Judy Dore, and shares a vintage tomato recipe collected from Newton seniors that you can easily try at home.
• Massachusetts' 2026 primaries are in the books. Here are the results (nbcboston.com) — Massachusetts' 2026 primary results are in, setting up November's statewide and congressional matchups, with incumbents generally faring well. For Newton readers, one key note is that Rep. John Lawn defeated Newton City Councilor Alison Leary in their Democratic primary, while broader legislative contests hint at ongoing tension between progressive challengers and Beacon Hill leadership.
