Marlborough – It's been a difficult summer for the Marlborough non-profit group, Employment Options, Inc. On June 16, a man set fire to his own car which he had parked next to three of the organization's vans located at its 82 Brigham St. headquarters. The ensuing blaze killed the man and totally destroyed all of the vehicles. For the agency, which assists over 220 people from the MetroWest area each month with a variety of mental health, parenting and family services, the loss was devastating. The vans were a critical part of the agency's services, as they were used to make 15 to 20 trips a day to bring "members" back and forth to their homes, jobs and doctors appointments.

Marlborough – Leery of the impact of a proposed affordable housing project in the Ames Street area, the City Council requested during its Aug. 27 meeting that the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) review the project's plans. Last year the Gutierrez Company proposed another plan that suggested construction of 290 units of affordable housing in the same area, but then withdrew the application. At a public hearing at that time, several residents in the area voiced strong objections citing problems with water conditions and heavy traffic that would evolve if the project were approved. They also expressed concern regarding the impact on city schools that would occur with the potential addition of many school-age children and the added burden to Fire and Police departments.

Developed by the website coolrunning.com, Couch-to-5K instructs participants on how to gradually mix a combination of walking and running over an 11-week period until they are able to comfortably run 5 kilometers (approximately three miles).
