An article published in the April 17 Wayland Post misstated the current role of Tonya Largy in connection with the Organization for the Assabet, Sudbury and Concord Rivers (OARS). Largy was the founding director of the organization in 1986, a role she held during its early years. She is not its current executive director. The Wayland Post regrets the error.
In the April 17 Real Estate Transactions section, the reported sale price for 8 Carpenter Road was incorrect. The property sold for $660,000, not $6,660,000. The parcel is approximately 0.71 acres, according to Registry of Deeds records. The Wayland Post regrets the error.
There was a typographical error on the Holiday Road story on page 6 of the April 17 edition. When Jennifer James Young commented on Route 2 development, we referenced Article 26, but should have written “Article 25.” The Wayland Post regrets the error.
The Wayland Post sent out a questionnaire to all of the candidates running for election on Tuesday, April 28, to provide voters more information. Those who replied ran in the April 17 edition but Chris Reynolds’s replies were omitted and another candidate’s answers ran under his name. Here is the correct profile:
SELECT BOARD (2 seats)
Christopher Reynolds
Background: Two children who attended Wayland Schools, much to our delight. Medical device entrepreneur. Dartmouth English major, physics minor. Overly enthusiastic musician.
Prior or current service: Have co-produced and emceed numerous music events and festivals, including the 2025 Wayland Festival, which police estimate drew 6,000 attendees and became one of the largest gatherings in Wayland’s history. Have worked under budget and time pressure with extraordinary volunteer teams and with expert managers in nearly every town department.
One of the core group of four people who led the campaign for the Town Center. This effort resulted in the one of the largest Town Meetings in Wayland history (>2,000 citizens) and promoted mixed-use Town Center instead of an office building complex.
Coached 10 seasons of youth lacrosse, including field lacrosse, box lacrosse, and referee training.
Motivation for running: I am determined to help the town compose and enact a meaningful financial strategy based on clear priorities and thoughtful growth.
Key issues: (1) Providing sound, long-term financial support for our schools. (2) Ensuring abutters have genuine access to municipal processes that affect neighborhoods. (3) Expanding our tax base thoughtfully.
Distinguishing factors: I’ve lived in town for 33 years and have observed both good and wayward political patterns. Our town has remarkable strengths but also faces onerous challenges. I’d like to help continue the trend toward plainspoken information and congenial debate.
Relevant accomplishments: The recent work I am most proud of is joining the Board of Trustees of Arts Wayland. This organization does a lot with a little and often works selflessly behind the scene. The older work that continues to help me understand the town is attending and graduating from the Wayland Citizens Fire Academy and the Wayland Citizens Police Academy.
Best advice: “Common sense is seldom glamorous, but it can save a lot of money.”
Additional information: Too often, government procedures seem byzantine, murky, and off-putting. We urge more people to get involved, but rigamarole confounds us all and promising people retreat from chaos. I want to support the current operating tone that favors confronting good and bad news in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner. This will address issues better and encourage more people to run and volunteer.
Favorite free day: Paddle boarding on Lake Cochituate. Attend Wayland lacrosse. Go to lecture at the library or a concert at Arts Wayland.
Enjoying/relating to the community: Singing at the Villa!
