Non-Profit Spotlight: Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable
Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization of men and women incorporated in 1999. The goal of the Roundtable is to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence through community education and networking and to improve the coordination between public and private services for victims and families touched by domestic violence.
Candidates running for contested seats on the Board of Selectman and for the position of Associate Planning Board Member will be participating in our annual Ask the Candidates Live! Q&A/Call-In program on WayCAM TV on Thursday April 18, 2019 starting at 7:00pm.
This year, the program will feature two segments. Here is the schedule for when the candidates will be featured:
7:00pm: Candidates for the Board of Selectmen will be featured.
8:05pm: Candidates for the Associate Planning Board position will be featured.
Viewers can find the program on Comcast channel 9 and Verizon channel 38. Former Town Moderator Peter Gossels will serve as host once more.
This show is unique in Wayland politics in that it is a live broadcast during which viewers at home can call the studio at 508-358-3742 to ask their questions directly to the candidates. Mr. Peter Gossels will field the calls and may ask some questions of his own if there is time.
For those unfamiliar with the program, this is the 29th year of production, and it has proven a very useful tool in informing the voters before the election. The program will be rebroadcast on WayCAM before the Town Elections on April 23, and will also be available for streaming online at WayCAM.tv.

Arts Wayland and theW Gallery are located at 60 Andrew Avenue, Wayland, MA 01778, in the Wayland Shopping Center near Ace Hardware.
Alec Hutson:
A Boston homegrown singer, songwriter, and multi instrumentalist, Alec crafts music that grabs your attention and pulls you in. A stirring combination of soaring folk melodies, deep soul grooves, and earworm pop sensibility, the result is an experience not easily forgotten. Having recently completed his first European tour following the release of his album Reactions in December 2018, Alec (with full band) looks forward to sharing his music throughout New England and down the West Coast later this year.
Billy Claiborne:
Originally from Maine, Billy Claiborne fronted bands around New England for many years. Now appearing mostly solo, he draws on his country roots, frequently combining them with ample doses of folk, rock and pop and anything that strikes him at the moment. He now lives in the Boston area and appears infrequently at various coffee houses, bars and gin joints. Find him on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and wherever music is streamed.
Anna Snow:
Anna Snow writes and performs her own brand of ambient-folk. Whether through songs about family, the in-between places of love, or hope for loved ones in distress, she combines moody, evocative guitar voicings, vocals, and lyrics to transport the listener to another world. Based out of Somerville, Massachusetts, Anna performs with uncommon passion and sincerity; she feels each note, and every word. She recently released her sophomoric full studio EP, Is This Us, in June, 2018.
Alice Howe:
With her soulful, impeccably tuned voice and crafted poetry, Boston’s Alice Howe is “at once of the moment and timeless, personal and universal” (Americana UK). In 2017 her EP You’ve Been Away So Long debuted on the Folk-DJ charts with a #1 song – “Homeland Blues” – and #7 album for the year. A 2018 NewSong Music Songwriting Competition finalist, Alice was a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist, NERFA Formal Showcase Artist and WFMT Folkstage featured performer. She has completed her forthcoming full-length album, Visions, produced by Freebo (Bonnie Raitt), and will be touring the new album throughout 2019.
