Newton program for deaf, hard-of-hearing students gets new leader

Richard B. Primack/Special to the Tab For Kellie Meehan’s daughter Jenna, a seventh-grader at F.A. Day Middle School who is deaf, Newton’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program is a perfect fit. The regional program at Day and Newton North High School had been supervised and run by the EDCO Collaborative. However, the future of the program was in doubt when EDCO announced that it was dissolving. Luckily, the CAPS Collaborative agreed to take over the program starting the 2021-2022 academic year. Jenna Meehan is classified as deaf and has a cochlear implant. She communicates primarily with American Sign Language, and can also use spoken English as a back-up. Newton’s program provides her with an American Sign Language interpreter so she can participate in classroom activities. She is mainstreamed in three of her four subjects and is doing well.

COVID lowers noise pollution at Newton s Webster Woods

Richard B. Primack/Special to the Tab Webster Woods can be a surprisingly noisy place, with the roar of cars and trucks on the Hammond Pond Parkway, trains along the Riverside line, and airplanes overhead. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the woods have become quieter. “We can measure the change, and you can hear the difference too, particularly in the middle of the woods,” said Carina Terry, a recent graduate of Boston University who helped lead a study of the effects of the pandemic on noise pollution in the Boston area. Impacts of noise pollution Noise pollution from cars, trucks, and airplanes reduces the ability of parks to provide quiet environments for people to enjoy and habitat for wildlife.

Fewer beehives on Newton conservation land to protect native bees

Richard B. Primack/Special to the Tab Honeybees and their hives inhabit some of Newton’s open spaces, including Kennard Park, Norumbega Conservation Area, and Nahanton Park. The hives, which are licensed by the city, produce honey and some beekeepers use them to support education. “Our mission is to get as many observation hives into classroom as possible,” said Mark Lewis, a licensed beekeeper who has six hives at the old Deer Park in the Hammond Woods. Lewis works with Classroom Hives, an organization that places honeybee hives in classrooms, mostly in Boston Public Schools. Students observe the hive through glass windows while bees continue to forage outside via an external entrance.
