Good morning, Lowell.

Longtime Lowell public servant Edward Kennedy, known for his lively storytelling and community dedication, is remembered during calling hours today from 3 to 7 p.m. at McDonough Funeral Home, 14 Highland Street.

His funeral will begin on Wednesday with a 10 a.m. service and an 11 a.m. mass at Immaculate Conception Church, 144 East Merrimack Street.

After 30 years at Market Basket, executive Sue Dufresne was fired for sharing secret company details and showing loyalty to Arthur T.

Demoulas—she is one of eight top managers let go during a shakeup. Dufresne said her firing continues a trend against workers who support the Demoulas family.

UMass Lowell will open a new security operations center on its campus at the Wannalancit Business Center—funded by a $300,000 grant from MassTech to help protect local cities and defense companies from cyber threats.

The center will provide expert cybersecurity guidance to governments, nonprofits and businesses while giving students paid career-connected experience within the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor.

Former Mayor Bill Samaras joined the Daily Pulse studio on October 6th to preview tomorrow’s City Council meeting—he offered his views on the latest Market Basket developments.
