• Wellesley artist mashes up 'Birth of Venus' & Halloween (theswellesleyreport.com) — Halloween in Wellesley kicks off with resident artist Ann Curch Gagliano's elaborate "Birth of Venus—Halloween style" display on the front lawn at 3 Upson Road. Every prop is handmade, and locals can stroll by to see the Renaissance-meets-spooky scene and peek at behind-the-scenes photos on her Annillustrates Instagram account. Past years' displays have become a fun neighborhood tradition.
• Fire Academy Teaches Rescue Skills that Previously Required Out-of-State Class (town.news) — Wellesley firefighters just completed a free, eight-day Structural Collapse Rescue Technician course at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, giving them advanced skills to handle building failures and other major emergencies. The training, held in Bridgewater with departments from across the state, focused on breaching concrete, stabilizing damaged structures, and using heavy equipment so local crews are better prepared for rare but high‑risk disasters.
