mamabunny72.livejournal.comI ask because the forum is on the same night as my daughter's school's open house. Hubby and I are discussing how to "divide and conquer" that night: As parents of a middle schooler, there are more teachers to meet with!

ron_newmanThe Davis Action Group asked all four Ward 6 Alderman candidates a set of questions. You can read their answers here.
The candidates have also answered written questions from Progressive Democrats of Somerville and from The Somerville Times. Joe Lynch interviewed all four candidates for SCATV.
Yesterday, three of them participated in an Ask Me Anything session here on DSLJ.
See this updated post for a full list of election-related links. And please come to tomorrow night's candidate forum where you can meet all of them in person.

obie119.livejournal.comSeptember 26th is the 10th annual “What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention”, a festival celebrating the creation of Fluff in Somerville almost 100 years ago. The 2015 theme will be “Fluff X” – like the Super Bowl, Fluff is now rocking a Roman numeral!
The festival absolutely could not happen without our amazing volunteer crew. If you're looking for a unique Somerville Saturday, volunteers are needed for two-hour shifts in a wide variety of tasks. From the prize booth to kiddie games to the cooking contest, there are jobs to fit every personality. There are opportunities for you and friends to work together, and for mature children to work with their parents. We may be looking for a few expert volunteers to step into "fluff captain" roles so if you covet the straw hat, please let me know.
The Festival is at Union Square Somerville on September 26th (raindate September 27th) from 3 to 7 PM, with volunteers needed in two-hour shifts from 12:30 until 8:00 PM. If you can join us, please let me (Karin) know at volunteer AT unionsquaremain DOT com.
May the fluff be with you!

Sep. 9th, 2015 04:31 pmron_newmanfrom today's Somerville Times "News Talk" column:
The primary in Ward 6 is coming up and make a note it’s on Thursday the 17th, not the usual Tuesday. We heard that the Board of Aldermen bowed to pressure from one alderman to get it changed for the first time because of a religious holiday
OK, I don't know why the city didn't schedule the election for September 1 (like Medford) or September 8 (like Boston), but I do know why they didn't choose the next two Tuesdays. The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah ends at sunset on Tuesday, September 15. The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur starts at sunset on Tuesday, September 22. Some folks around here don't appreciate your ignorant obliviousness, Somerville Times.
(Oh, and that's followed by: "Don’t let a small minority pick the wrong candidates for the final election in November.")
