Opening night December 1, 7:00 p.m.

The Highlander Theatre student musical production presents Into the Woods. This modern classic follows the story of the Baker and his wife (who wish for a child), Cinderella (who wishes to attend the King’s Festival), and Jack (who wishes his cow would give milk). To make their wishes come true they must first venture Into the Woods, which is filled with challenges and adventures that you won’t want to miss.

Review parking rules and sign up for alerts

Because this winter begins in an even-numbered year, snow emergency parking will be on the even side of the street all winter, unless posted signage says differently. Check street signs in your neighborhood so you know where you can park ahead of winter weather. You can also learn more about the city’s snow policies at somervillema.gov/snow.

November is National Family Caregiver Appreciation Month, a time for recognizing and honoring the vital work of family caregivers.

Roughly one in seven American adults are caregivers. A 2018 Pew Research study found that on average they dedicate about 80 minutes per day helping friends or loved ones receive the care they need. That same study found that roughly half of caregivers described the experience as very meaningful, with roughly a third saying they’re extremely happy.

Somerville Police officers were dispatched to a Canal St. location last Saturday on reports of a fight in progress.

Upon arrival, the officers encountered a large group of intoxicated and uncooperative individuals. They were informed that a man assaulted two women, but they were unable to locate any victims.

Life in the Ville by Jimmy Del Ponte

Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for the things that we have. Things like health, happiness, and family. I asked my Somerville social media friends what they were thankful for. Each new comment is in quotes.
