I’m a soccer Mom. There, I said it. I am the same soccer Mom I used to talk about when I was twentysomething and swore I’d never become. Well, I didn’t really. I am a cool soccer Mom as are many of us out there and I am sure we could teach those twentysomethings a thing or two about moving on with your life and still having a life. So now that I am the Mom taxi taking my kids to all of their various extracurricular activities I thought I would at least do it with style. But what kind of style would that be? My evolution started gradually with my daughter playing soccer as a four year old in a very kid friendly no game, all activities sort of way. I have to say I almost felt cheated. Where we the folding chairs, hot coffee, uniforms and …

Herring matter. Herring count. And that is exactly what Winchester residents have discovered in their efforts to help the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) with their newly initiated Herring Monitoring Program. This baseline study will provide valuable information to marine biologists who are studying river herring, referring collectively to two similar species - the Blueback and Alewife herring - in one of the Commonwealth’s largest urban watersheds. Winchester volunteers are working with more than 120 other volunteers from watershed cities and towns as part of this effort. The monitoring program takes place at the newly remodeled Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation dam between the Upper and Lower Mystic …
