Domestic violence can strike any community, illustrated recently by the double murder/suicide in Watertown that took the lives of a young mother and an elderly friend. The community is invited to a free Domestic Violence Awareness Month event in Watertown. The event aims to break the silence and create a safe space for education, dialogue, and access to resources and support.

JIM’S VIEW: Watertown Boys Soccer Celebrates Senior Night, Gears Up For The Tournament

By |

It’s great to score goals if you’re a soccer team, but those weren’t the only goals Watertown Boys Soccer thought about this past off-season. They had a vision of a successful season with lofty goals, and were on a mission to live up to their own challenge. They practiced all summer long.  Five days a week. Sometimes all seven days. Captain-organized practices, rain or shine, throughout the summer heat. This didn’t necessarily make them unique, but it did qualify them as committed and motivated. They wanted to win on Watertown Soccer Night, they wanted to win on Senior Night, they wanted to win the Freedom Division of the Middlesex League, they wanted to rank high enough at seasons-end to get a home tournament game, and then they wanted to win that game and advanced to the second round. And then … who knows?!
