News acorns – 2/23/15

February 23, 2015

acornMassPort to present Hanscom plans at HATS meeting

On Thursday, Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m., the Hanscom Area Towns Committee (“HATS”), an alliance of the Selectmen of Lincoln, Concord, Lexington and Bedford will host officials from MassPort as they present the agency’s recently adopted strategic plan, including plans for Hanscom Air Field. The presentation will be made by MassPort’s chief executive officer, Tom Glynn, and other senior staff. The meeting will be held at the Lincoln Town Offices and the public is welcome. A video of the meeting will be available several days later on the HATS web site.

Second leaf blower forum scheduled

On Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m., Lincoln’s Leaf Blower Study Committee will host a second public forum to discuss the status of leaf blower regulations and alternative approaches and seek feedback. The forum will be held in the upstairs conference room at the Town Office Building (16 Lincoln Rd.). Previous coverage and letters to the editor in the Lincoln Squirrel:

  • Letter to the editor: leaf blowers can be used year-round appropriately (Jan. 12, 2015)

Group presents documentary on social rejection

On Tuesday, March 10, the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable will present the new documentary film Reject at 7 p.m. in the Lincoln-Sudbury High School Auditorium ( 390 Lincoln Road, Sudbury). Admission is free.

Reject offers a powerful look at the cost of social rejection at a young age and a timely analysis of real-life educational techniques to nurture positive social development from preschool age up. The film highlights some of the devastating consequences for victims of chronic, repeated rejection over time. Not only is rejection hurtful, but it has the potential for erupting as violence. A study of the backgrounds of school shooters found that the majority were victims of ostracism.

Reject is a “must see” for any adult who parents, teaches, coaches, leads or is otherwise engaged with preschool through high school children. The film can be used in workshops or training programs to raise awareness about ostracism and provide facts for discussion. Information about how to acquire the film will be distributed at the March 10 showing. The film is in limited release but later in 2015 it will be available for purchase at a modest cost.
