The primary election is over and by the time the results come in we have already gone to press, so look for the results on www.thesomervilletimes.com or on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thesomervilletimes) as well. Now let’s hope the ones with the stupid commercials lost so we don’t have to hear them any more. We can now settle back and hear new stupid commercials for the final elections. Are all these politicians as dumb as they sound in their commercials?

Somerville High Adult Evening School courses are starting up again this fall, and registration is over the next two weeks, Tuesday and Thursday nights at the High School main office. One class in particular being offered again this semester is the real estate course, for only $165, which is more than half of what it would cost anywhere else. Plus it is a live course with interaction with the teacher who has over 35 years of experience to offer. Register directly with the Principal Sophia Carafotes by emailing her at scarafotes@k12.somerville.ma.us or visit the high school at 6 p.m. and see how many great courses that they have to offer the public at real low prices you can’t find anywhere. Let Sophia know you saw it here. She’s one of Somerville’s finest teachers.

Happy Birthdays to some of our fans here and around the Ville. Big time Happy Birthday to our favorite active (we have to be careful here – we don’t want to offend Denise – you know who we mean) Patty Oppedisano celebrates her 29th birthday and looks even younger. Always smiling, always with gossip. Happy Birthday Patty. Also this week to a local favorite former Winter Hill lady, Judy Medeiros, whom we have known a long time, from a great family. We wish her the very best. This week a big time to Bob – that wild guy – Trane, at home relaxing and enjoying his retirement from the Board of Alderman. We wish him the very best as well. Happy Birthday to the former voice of the City of Somerville, Mr. Tom Champion himself. We wish him a good day. To the Ward 4 Alderman and all around great guy with a smile on his face, Tony Lafuente. Happy birthday Tony, and many more. The better half of the Somerville Pundits TV show, Mr. Daniel Hurley is celebrating this week as well. We wish him a good day for himself.
