Center a "victim of its own success," strained in areas ranging from programs to meals to staff and seeking budget relief.
The Lynnfield Senior Center is admittedly a victim of its own success, and is looking to the FY13 budget to bring some relief. Giving the Council on Aging's budget presentation at this week's selectmen's meeting, Senior Center Director Linda Naccara said that this is "definitely the biggest budget in my history that we have requested."

Personnel from Sunrise Senior Living gave a truffle-making demonstration just in time for Valentine's Day.
A little bit of chocolate can make any Valentine's Day that much more enjoyable - and on Thursday, some area residents got a lesson on how to make their own treats.

In fact, for such a legendary treat, it seems surprisingly easy to make a basic truffle. Running the demonstration, Brennan melted a couple of pounds of bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler, which uses steam heat to melt the chocolate, protecting against burning. She later whisked a softened pound of cream cheese into the melted chocolate, advising the group that if the melted …
