Tomorrow, September 15 at 4 pm, the Weston Police Department will take on the Weston Fire Department in a no-wager, for-fun co-ed softball game. Because Rivers School’s baseball field is underwater (these jokes sort of write themselves, no?), the game will now take place at the Weston High School Baseball Field (444 Wellesley Street). The public is invited to attend

Let’s start with the disclaimers, shall we? We shall. As most readers know, the Owl is a big fan of Weston’s community police force. Having lived in some rather
Read moreOkay, Weston runners and walkers, it’s time to sign up for the second annual Weston Police Relief Association 5K, held this year on Saturday, October 21. Last year’s first edition of the run included a sprint to the finish line by Police Chief Goulding and Fire Chief Woodside, a phalanx of police cadets running fast and in lockstep, and absolutely

As anyone who has spent time around the Wes-TEN “news” show or the Weston Owl knows, our town is fortunate to have a well-trained K9 named Knox who is generally accompanied by a good-humored K9 Officer named Michael Rizzitello.

If you haven’t spent time with any of the characters pictured above, you’re missing
Read moreOkay, so, here’s the deal. For at least three years, I have sent on other towns’ Coffee with a Cop information to our police station (here’s the event in Wayland a few years ago) asking for Weston to do something similar, and nothing! Crickets! But then Heirloom opens and the police read my rave review (oh, all right, I ran
