Nomination papers are not due into the Town Clerk’s office until 5:00 this afternoon but a furry of papers were returned yesterday. The Town Clerk certified the signatures for all papers received to date and the only outstanding question this morning is whether there will be a contest for school committee. There will be contested seats for Assessor, Board of Health, Library Trustee, and Planning Board.

Talk about a nail biter? This afternoon, two tough basketball teams with a lot of heart and no quit took to the floor at UMass. The road to the final buzzer went like this.
Yesterday saw no lack of competition in Milton – on the parquet, on the ice, on the wrestling mat, and on the chess board. Chees-a-Palooza returned to the Milton Public Library yesterday for the 3rd year running. And it was quite the crowd as this picture by Gene Boylan attests. We welcome your photos.
