Bomb threats on a day finals are scheduled aren't that unusual, but someone setting a car on fire, supposedly as part of the same action, is.

The car was apparently parked behind the Tufts Student Health Center at 124 Professors Row and belonged to an employee at the health center. A note was left which referenced labor issues between Tufts and the SEIU, which represents their janitors. The student group which is organized around the labor issues denied any connection to the events.

Somerville Garden Club May Meeting: Urban Gardening
Gretel Anspach, a Lifetime Master Gardener and frequent speaker, will give a talk about urban gardening on Wednesday, May 11.

Gretel Anspach, member of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Board of Trustees, will give a talk about urban gardening. She will cover alternatives to the standard sources for light, water, and nutrients that plants need for people who don’t have much space, or perhaps no yards at all. Her talk will also touch on container gardening and hydroponics.

Gretel Anspach is a Lifetime Master Gardener, the education coordinator for the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association (MMGA), a Trustee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a recently-retired systems engineer. She has served as the President and as the Certification Coordinator for the MMGA. She is a frequent speaker for the MMGA Speakers' Bureau and Mass Hort. Gretel helped to establish and maintain two food production gardens that have provided fresh produce to the Marlboro Food Pantry for the last six years.

All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and open to the public.
Tufts Administration Building, (TAB), 167 Holland Street, second floor, wheelchair accessible.
Parking is available, and the building is a ten-minute walk from the Davis Square MBTA stop.
