As mentioned in a previous Owl post about the Caucus nominees, the Weston Owl will publish candidate statements as written by the candidates (no editorial comment from the Owl Editorial Review Board, ahem, me). The following candidate statement has been sent by Ken Newberg, who is an uncontested candidate for School Committee. He was first elected to the School Committee in

All images were provided by Mr. King. ++ Weston’s Cub Scout Pack 157 hosted its annual Pinewood Derby on Saturday, April 6th.

Let me tell
Read moreThe above image is TOTALLY what the Weston High School auditorium looks like during a WHS Pops Concert. Don’t believe me?

I know of at least one person who has been spontaneously bumped from receiving the emails, and now I am hearing of several more people who are not receiving my extremely hilarious and important missives (ahem). I am working with the Owl’s non-gen-X consultant to
