On a clear day at Boyden Farms in Cambridge, in a field abutting the Lamoille River, a truck belonging to Working Dog Septic drove out to spread manure over a fallow section of the land.
The truck stopped briefly by a red container of lime. When the tank was opened and the lime mixed into the liquid waste, a wave of excrement smell, bright and notable but not overwhelming, wafted back on the wind before subsiding as the tank was closed.
The truck then began its spreading, casting brown waves as it drove, and another burst of noticeable smell was brought over to the nearby residential area on an easterly wind. When the truck finished its brief spreading and was gone, so too was the smell.

David Climaco Garcia took time during the pandemic to get back to the basics of writing music.

“(The album) is about taking stock of who you are,” Garcia says. “All of it was written during the pandemic, and it was important for me to capture it.”

Garcia’s first single from the album is “Down by Her Riverside Home.” It was released on May 6.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – When Baptist Health MD Anderson broke ground on its new Jacksonville cancer center in 2016, there were high expectations. A nine-story, 330,000 square foot building replicating the world class MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
It came to fruition in just two short years. Medical Director Dr. Bill Putnam talked with News4Jax about the work that’s been done since the opening.
“Our growth has been so extraordinary in the first five years. That growth will probably taper off just a bit, but we will still have the ability to meet a significant need in this community for multi-disciplinary integrated and specialty care,” Putnam said.
