With an even 1-1 record coming off a physical win 14-0 over Keefe Tech, the St. Clement High School football team aimed to earn their second win in three games. Instead, the Mystic Valley Eagles had other thoughts. Ranked fourth in division 4A with a 1-1 record as well, the Eagles left no stone unturned, cruising to a 16-0 shutout win over the St. Clement’s Anchormen in Saturday morning’s non-league match-up at Dilboy Field.

Residents of all ages recently took steps to make Somerville a greener, safer and healthier place – many steps, in fact.

In honor of Somerville’s monthly Walk/Ride Day on Friday, September 24, commuters parked their cars at home and students headed off to school on foot or by bike.

“There are probably ten times as many bikes here as there usually are,” said Kevin Patton-Hock, whose sons Mao and Chet rode their bikes to the John F. Kennedy School.
