June 7, 2021 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

The latest Wellesley, MA community news:

Photographers’ works on display in Wellesley Square

The works of seven area photographers will be on display at 90 Central St. in Wellesley Square from June 5-13, as the Art Wellesley group continues to work with property owners to fill otherwise empty storefronts. The show includes portraits, landscapes, and photo-collage images.

The exhibitors include familiar and maybe not-so-familiar photographers: Eric Barry, Beth Furman, Lisa Neighbors,  Gayatri Pradhan, Frank Schneider, Beth Shedd, and Christina Van Dyke. Exhibitors will staff the show from 12-4pm on Saturday June 12 and Sunday Jume 13.

The other Art Wellesley storefront displays are also set to run through June 13.

Separately, the next round of candidates for electrical box paintings will be reviewed at the June 7 Wellesley Select Board meeting, which starts at 6pm.


Rep. Liz Miranda addresses Wellesley College graduates

Massachusetts State Representative Liz Miranda and Wellesley College alumna addressed the college’s graduating class of 2021 at Wellesley’s 143rd commencement exercises on June 4th. Elected in 2018, Miranda serves as State Representative in the 5th Suffolk District of Roxbury and Dorchester. She currently serves on the Joint Committee(s) on Community Development and Small Businesses, Public Safety and Homeland Security, Veterans and Federal Affairs, and the Joint Committee on the Judiciary.

Wellesley College, Rep. Liz Miranda
Massachusetts State Representative Liz Miranda and Wellesley College alumna addressed the college’s 143rd graduating class.

As Rep. Miranda looked out at graduates, their families, and faculty, she took in the moment and asked attendees to  be present, to breathe, to feel the weight of their accomplishment. “You made it. You deserve this. You earned this. Thank yourself,” she said. “Think of the year that we have survived, together. (I’m so tired of Zooms.) Look around to all who have gathered to celebrate you on one of the most sacred days of your lives.

Let us remember, and never forget, the 3.5 million lives we’ve lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve lost our loved ones, friends, and family members, and complete strangers, including my Avo, my grandmother Maria Andrade Alves Miranda. She was my everything.

Let us never forget the 1,068 Americans that have been murdered by the police since the death of George Floyd. I create space today for far too many Black women and trans women who’ve been brutalized and murdered by the police—Breonna Taylor, Ma’Khia Bryant, Sandra Bland, to say the names of only a few, but we know that only one is too many.”

You can see Miranda’s address in its entirety here.


Elizabeth Seton dedicates memorial tree to those lost to COVID-19

Elizabeth Seton Residences, a Catholic, not-for-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility  in Wellesley, recently held a service to memorialize those who lost their lives to COVID-19 and as a tribute to family members and staff. More than four dozen people attended.

The Wellesley Symphony Orchestra performed at the ceremony, accompanied by Elizabeth Seton staff members, some who sang and some who read.

A memorial tree was dedicated, surrounded by hand-painted stones featuring messages from family member of those who died during the pandemic.

Paul Epstein: Hero Among Us

 

Wellesley’s Paul Epstein and Salem, NH’s Steve Picardi were honored as “Heroes among Us” by the Boston Celtics in early May for their efforts over the years to raise millions to help children with neurofibromatosis.

They worked alongside the late Celtics player, coach, and announcer Tommy Heinsohn to help kids through Neurofibromatosis Northeast, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for the neurological genetic condition found in young children.

The funds supported research as well as camp for kids with neurofibromatosis.

Sign of spring: Wellesley seeks artists to paint four more traffic signal electrical boxes

March 5, 2022 by Deborah Brown 1 Comment

We thought artists had already painted every Wellesley traffic signal box in town, but no. There’s more art to be done. Four boxes in town remain unadorned, a sorry situation that must be remedied. To that end, the Wellesley Public Art Committee, working with the Wellesley Police Department, seeks artists to put in proposals for the Electrical Box At Program to “help make our community even more colorful and enhance the visual experience for Town residents and visitors.”

Program details, eligibility criteria, and comprehensive proposal information are in the Spring 2022 Traffic Box Art application.

All proposals must be received by Friday, April 15 at 4pm to be considered. Proposals may be emailed to [email protected] or delivered as hardcopies to the Wellesley Police Department, in care of Chief Jack Pilecki.

The program began in late 2020 and is now in its fifth round. Local artists—both amateur and professional —and art and educational institutions are invited to apply to paint boxes this spring.

The locations under consideration for this round of the program are:

  • Central Park – Central Street & Grove Street
  • Cedar Street at River Road and Walnut Street
  • Route 9 East Exit Ramp at Cedar Street
  • Linden Street at Everett Street (2 boxes, additional compensation for this location TBD)*

*This location includes more than one box with varying size dimensions. Please make sure to choose the correct design template; visiting the locations in advance is encouraged.

Selected artists will receive a stipend for their time, transportation, and supplies. Painting must be done between May 2, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

Use this interactive map for a virtual tour of the completed traffic boxes in Wellesley, photos and locations, and artist and sponsor information.

Nurses get some TLC on Valentine’s Day from the Community Fund for Wellesley

February 14, 2022 by Deborah Brown 3 Comments

Let’s hear it for Wellesley nurses, those front-line COVID workers and carers, the people we go to when we need real information, real fast about healthcare protocols, masking, testing, vaccinations, and how to keep ourselves and the community safe. In a gesture of appreciation, volunteers from the Community Fund for Wellesley put together Valentine’s Day gift bags and hand delivered them to nurses at the town’s seven elementary schools, the middle and high schools, PAWS preschool, and the health department.

The swag bag included notes of appreciation, cookies and a gift card from Quebrada Bakery, and stress balls, all packed with love by volunteers Ellen Gibbs and Wendy Paul. Photographer Beth Shedd swooped in for the delivery side of the effort and took portraits of the recipients, to boot.

“If we can recognize that the nurses in our schools and elsewhere in our community have been working so hard during the pandemic, I think it can go a long way to making them feel appreciated,” Paul said.

“Every single nurse was moved by the gesture and enjoyed sharing about the many challenges, and the current lull, and their universal readiness for vacation week,” Shedd said.

Thanks not only to the Wellesley nurses who work in the public schools and the health department, but to the many other nurses in town. To those who work in private schools, or on the town’s three college campuses, or in doctor’s offices and hospitals in and beyond Wellesley, we see you, and thank you, too.

Thank you Swellesley Report supporters & on to Year 17

February 7, 2022 by Bob Brown 2 Comments

Thanks to all of you who have supported The Swellesley Report over the past year and before that. We reassess our situation annually, and what the heck, we’re doing it again in 2022.

As you may or may not know, we’re a small community-focused operation consisting of residents Deborah and Bob Brown. Deborah works on our Reports (including Natick Report) full time, while Bob squeezes in his writing around his day job. We laugh when people ask if someone from “your staff” can cover an event.

As we try to stress, please keep your expectations in check. We do what we can, but our resources are limited.

We do however thank those who help us do what we do. This includes those of you who:

  • Pass along tips and ideas
  • Share memos from the schools and others that are of community-wide interest
  • Send photos of the darnedest things
  • Add to the conversation by commenting on posts or social media posts

We’ve also loved having students contribute their work, including Athlete of the Week articles.

Thank you as well to the many readers who support us financially, some on a regular basis. This backing means a lot to us and helps cover the cost of everything from web hosting to the software and services that power everything from our newsletters to our events calendar.

Thank you to our advertisers, too. Dozens of organizations and individuals sponsored Swellesley in 2021, enabling us to do what we do. One breakthrough this past year was that the town began running some legal notices in Swellesley, aware that outdated state rules requiring publication in printed newspapers aren’t necessarily getting the word out.

Wellesley introduces Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Task Force members

November 12, 2021 by Bob Brown 2 Comments

The town of Wellesley has announced the 18 members of a new Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Task Force that has been in the works since the end of last year. About 40 people volunteered to be on the task force, which includes members the town says “bring a broad range of identities, perspectives, and life experiences to this work.”

Members include those already well known in town through their positions in public office, as well as those whose work on diversity issues might be done more behind the scenes.

The members are:

  • Melinda Arias-Voci
  • Gary Arthur
  • John Benzan
  • Linda Chow
  • Tony Clark
  • Leda Eizenberg
  • J’Lesia Jones
  • Glen Kim
  • Ann-Mara Lanza
  • Ayla Lari
  • Lisa Macdonald
  • Paul Merry
  • Lina Musayev
  • Lise Olney
  • Tere Ramos
  • Odessa Sanchez
  • Donna Stoddard
  • Robin Tusino

Odessa Sanchez says she jumped at the opportunity to apply to join the task force. “I’ve lived and worked in Wellesley for the past 12 years and if one of the goals is to identify and prioritize the needs of historically underrepresented people, I think it’s useful to have myself, a member of the marginalized community present,” she says.

Sanchez, who serves as a Wellesley Housing Authority commissioner, hopes the task force will help bring about “generational changes, to be put in action, not just on paper.”

She adds: “Wellesley should be a town that values differences between its citizens and shares an authenticity of belonging. Every person has the right to voice contrary opinions without fear of negative consequences.”

Task force member Gary Arthur

Another member, Gary Arthur, has been an active community member since arriving in town, such as through his work on the Village Table program to help feed those in need. “As a super informed socially linked person I believe I lend not only great understanding but also tangible thoughts and solutions towards positive outcomes,” he says.

Arthur is hopeful that that the task force can help to bring about “a better-for-all attitude” for how Wellesley moves forward.

“Our work and these conversations need to remain transparent, active, and acted on,” he says. “[I’m] hoping our cultural perception evolves to be more than rich and white. This is not a true interpretation of our community, however, it is a prominent one.”

The group, scheduled to begin meeting regularly in December, will focus on these initial tasks:

  • Creating a vision statement for racial equity in Wellesley
  • Developing a mission statement for this work
  • Developing and identifying a work plan supporting the goal of racial equity
  • Establishing community guiding principles and practices to support anti-bias, nondiscriminatory, and anti-racist behaviors and attitudes

These efforts will build on previous DE&I work in town.

The Wellesley Select Board recently issued a statement to reaffirm its anti-bias and anti-racism commitment in response to reported incidents that have occurred in town.
