Program intended to help catch illegal immigrants.
The Secure Communities Program, which would impact illegal immigrants, will go into effect next week in Massachusetts. According to the Boston Globe, the controversial federal program will start next Tuesday, May 15.

Gov. Deval Patrick declined…

The Lexington Fire Department and the Lexington Lodge of Elks #2204 are pleased to announce a new joint program to install smoke alarms in homes of seniors living in Lexington at no cost. The installation is scheduled for this Saturday, May 12. Having a properly operating and maintained smoke alarm in your home reduces the chancing of being injured or dying in a fire by nearly 90 percent. However, nearly half the homes in the United States do not have smoke alarms or they are not properly maintained (missing or dead batteries for example). National statistics have shown older adults have a much higher risk of being injured or dying in a fire. Through this program we hope to reduce that risk too in homes of Lexington older adults. “The …
