Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Sudbury Police To Host Bicycle, E-Bike Safety Presentation Amid Safety Concerns (patch.com) — Sudbury residents are invited to a Sept. 10 bicycle and e-bike safety presentation hosted by the Sudbury Police Department and MassBike, aimed especially at parents and new adult riders. With attendance capped at 30 Sudbury participants, the session will cover local riding laws, safe practices, and responsibilities, responding to rising e-bike injury concerns across Massachusetts.
2. This Wayland nonprofit advises how to speak to kids dealing with grief (wickedlocal.com) — Sudbury families are still coping after an 8-year-old Sudbury boy, Mason Sundberg, died when a tree fell at a Wayland summer camp, prompting Sudbury Public Schools to bring in counselors. Wayland's Parmenter Foundation is sharing concrete advice and online resources to help parents talk with grieving children, emphasizing open conversation, patience, and letting kids ask questions as they process their first major loss.
3. Crozier's separation agreement: what the records reveal (waylandpost.org) — Sudbury residents now have details on former superintendent Brad Crozier's separation agreement, which granted him about eight months' salary plus accrued pay in exchange for broad legal releases and a promise not to seek reemployment. The records clarify the financial and legal structure of his negotiated resignation but notably offer no explanation for why the School Committee moved to end his contract three years early.
4. Police commended after arrest of alleged murderer (waylandpost.org) — Sudbury police officers were among several neighboring departments called in to back up Wayland officers during the arrest of a teen later charged with killing two family members in Acton. Wayland officials are publicly commending Officer David Fors and colleagues for spotting the suspect's car and safely apprehending him, while prosecutors detail disturbing online searches and the serious charges the teen now faces.
5. Picture Story: Arrival day 2026 means new students, same Bates energy (bates.edu) — Sudbury gets a small shoutout at Bates College, where Orientation Week Leader Cathy Shi of Sudbury, Mass., helped welcome the incoming Class of 2030 during a high-energy arrival day. The photo story captures student volunteers, staff, and athletes unloading cars, cheering on families, and guiding first-years through move-in, orientation, and a festive campus barbecue as they begin their college careers in Lewiston, Maine.
