Representative Honan Fights to Restore Shirley Gut Shut
Rep Daniel J. Honan urged the House to restore Shirley Gut as a navigable waterway linking Deer Island and Winthrop. He noted the gut has filled in, creating a land neck, and argued its restoration would improve safety for prisoners at Deer Island, aid water quality near Deer Island Light, and help Winthrop’s yacht clubs and residents access the North Shore.

Shirley Gut project battle over dredge and jetties funding
The Wage and Meals Committee backed Representative Honan's case but said the Commonwealth cannot afford the $78,000 needed for concrete jetties on Winthrop Shore to prevent Shirley Gut from filling. Honan proposed reducing the appropriation to $12,000 for dredging only, with jetty funding deferred. Ways and Means resisted the concession, sending the Shirley Gut bill to the Department of Public Works for study, with Honan optimistic to persuade them Shirley Gut be prioritized.

Dodo Could Not Fly and Went Extinct
The dodo was a large flightless bird discovered by early voyagers to Mauritius. It had a large beak and tiny wings, making flight impossible and movement slow. Hunters preyed on it and it vanished by the late seventeenth century likely aided by pigs that ate its ground nests.
