Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 2 Detained During ICE Enforcement Actions In Newton (patch.com) — Two people were detained by ICE outside Newton District Court and later near Newton City Hall, prompting a measured response from Newton police to maintain order. Mayor Marc Laredo highlighted the city's Welcoming City policies, which limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and reiterated support for immigrants who live, work, or visit Newton.
2. Massachusetts reports seventh human West Nile virus case (wcvb.com) — Newton is currently listed among the Massachusetts communities with a high risk level for West Nile virus, meaning residents should stay vigilant about mosquito protection. State health officials urge you to keep using repellent, wear long sleeves and pants outdoors, and remove standing water around your home until a hard frost significantly reduces mosquito activity.
3. Revolution Academy kicked off 2026-27 MLS NEXT season New England Revolution (revolutionsoccer.net) — A Newton youth, Teddy Berntorp, kicked off the New England Revolution Academy Under-13 season in style, scoring just one minute into a 6–1 win over Intercontinental Football Academy. The broader Academy program had mixed results in Foxborough, but local families can take pride in a strong showing from a hometown player representing Newton on a regional stage.
4. Rabbi Toba Spitzer (jstreet.org) — Newton's own Rabbi Toba Spitzer has led Congregation Dorshei Tzedek since 1997 and is widely recognized for her work on Judaism, economic justice, and new ways of thinking about God. She has held prominent leadership roles in national rabbinic organizations and peace efforts, while also shaping Jewish spiritual and ethical life for many Newton-area congregants.
