Rotary Club and Boston University have sponsored a baby from Panama to receive heart surgery.
Diego Herrera is only six months old, but he’s already been to three countries and has spent more time in a hospital bed than some people spend in a lifetime.

Richie's, a Brookline pizza shop, owner bakes up tasty tributes to the Boston Hockey team.
The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, as the old proverb says; Sometimes something good for the stomach comes out of a man's heart as well, like special Bruins-themed pizzas coming hot and fresh from the oven at Richie's on Beacon Street. Fans can score a free slice simply by showing up while the game is on. Said owner, Richard Siber, "I've been making pizzas during their run, starting with Tampa Bay. People come in and watch the game, I bring out the pizzas. We all get a good smile and the camaraderie; we all enjoy a little of the Bruins experience." For Siber, hockey is a long-time passion. He currently plays on a team, and grew up watching the Bruins play. He says he "got caught up in the moment," and started making …

Elementary schools featuring special menu to emphasize environmental impact of food choices during climate week.
Dr. Sonya Elder was very busy last Friday. Not only is Elder the director of food services for the Public Schools of Brookline, but on this day she was in charge of making sure 400 pounds of Nella Pasta’s artisan winter-squash ravioli got safely from Jamaica Plain, where it was made, to each of the eight elementary schools in Brookline. During a snowstorm. One that was bad enough to cancel school for the day. Wait, Brookline's elementary school students get to eat artisan ravioli? Yes, they do—during Brookline's Climate Week. The Jamaica Plain pasta is part of a menu of locally produced cafeteria food being served in the Brookline schools this week.
