Rollie Anderson, respected 'shoe-leather' detective, dies at 83
For many, retired Weston Deputy Police Chief Roland "Rollie" Anderson was known as a hard-working investigator that would chase leads the old-fashioned way and was a fountain of information he shared with anyone who needed it. But for his granddaughter, Anderson was and "incredible grandfather.” Anderson of Waltham, died on Tuesday, Nov. 3. He was 83 years old. "He was the most incredible grandfather anyone could ever ask for,” said granddaughter Kellie Hofferty. “He was kind and sweet and soft-spoken. He was always proud of you, no matter what, and he always made sure you knew how proud of you he was.” Anderson, a lifelong Waltham resident, joined the Weston Police Department in 1969 and remained until he retired in 2008 as deputy chief. Throughout his career, Anderson developed a reputation beyond just Weston – police from Boston, other surrounding communities, and even from out of state, would seek him out for his expertise on burglary investigations. He also specialized in crimes committed by “travelers,” which were known as gypsies back when Anderson first began as an officer, his friend and fellow retired officer Robert Millen said. ““He was a very, very dedicated police man,” said Millen. “And it’s not

East Providence to East Cambridge, whitefish and bluefish on deep yellow, eggy bagels
The opening of Rebelle Artisan Bagels in 2024 on the Kendall Square/East Cambridge line was something of a homecoming for owner and James Beard-nominated chef Milena Pagán, who moved to Cambridge from Puerto Rico to attend MIT. After graduating with a degree in chemical engineering, Pagán moved to Providence for a corporate job that was not for her, so she taught herself to bake, starting with “bagel experiments.” Those trial-and-errors were good enough for her initial bagel shop in East Providence in 2016, which earned Pagán that Beard nod. (Pagán recently announced she’ll close Little Sister, her Puerto Rican cafe in Providence.)
