This Massachusetts State Forest Offers Miles Of Off-Road Adventure Across Scenic Woodland Trails

I’d go as far as saying fun is a kid skill worth keeping. Eight miles of rocky, narrow trails built for off-highway motorcycles make a loud case for practicing it. To me, this Massachusetts forest feels like the back-seat grin you had before every field trip. More than 20 more miles of trails wind through pine and oak for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders.

WORCESTER – J. Robert Seder, a prominent Worcester bankruptcy lawyer who chaired many influential city institutions over a lengthy career, has died at 86. Seder, “a mentor to many and a man who never met a stranger,” died Thursday, Nov. 5, his family wrote in an obituary that highlighted his extensive career in law and civil service. “If he could help you, he would. And he tried to help everybody,” Julie A. Seder, one of his three children, told the Telegram & Gazette Saturday, Nov. 7. In addition to a 60-year law career in business and bankruptcy, Seder was a founder of the former Commonwealth National Bank of Worcester and led some of the city’s most influential institutions over the years.

Opinion/Guest column: High school annexes right course for MA voke ed

Massachusetts has an affordability crisis, and many of its causes – like tariffs, interest rates and foreign wars – are out of our hands at the state and local level. What we can control is whether we have the skilled workers to build what we need to bring down the cost of living. We need more housing, and that takes carpenters, plumbers and electricians. We need cheaper, more reliable energy, and that takes the electricians and HVAC technicians to build and maintain it. We need nurses and health aides to staff our hospitals and nursing homes. These are local, blue-collar answers to our nationwide problem, and the young people who could fill those jobs are sitting in Massachusetts’ high schools. Unfortunately, too many of these young people can’t get the necessary training. For years, vocational technical schools across the commonwealth have turned away qualified applicants because there aren’t enough seats. Some years, waitlists have swelled to more than 10,000 students for the state’s vocational high schools. Families know the story all too well: A student who wants to learn a trade applies, lands on a waitlist and spends four years in a school that can’t offer what they wanted. Last
