Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Hingham soccer star's 'incredible resiliency' combats Type 1 diabetes (enterprisenews.com) — Hingham High soccer captain Taylor Bello is leading one of the state's top Division 2 teams while managing Type 1 diabetes with pumps and sensors during school and games. Coaches and teammates praise her resilience, All-American honors, and scoring power as she chases a state championship and prepares to play at UConn, offering inspiration to local kids facing similar challenges.
2. Hingham Conservation Commission Reviews Proposed Wetland Regulation Changes (hinghamanchor.com) — Hingham's Conservation Commission is moving closer to updating the town's wetland regulations, with key decisions affecting building setbacks, buffer zones, and how new projects must plan for sea-level rise. A proposed 75-foot setback for commercial buildings has been dropped after town counsel flagged a conflict with existing bylaws, but broader climate resiliency and clarification of exemptions are still on the table for discussion November 2.
3. Stoughton High School Ends Class Rank Reporting to Reduce Student Stress, Competition (wror.com) — Stoughton High is ending numerical class rank reporting to ease student stress, following a trend already adopted by several Massachusetts schools, including Hingham High. While Hingham isn't changing policy now, this move elsewhere highlights how local students' transcripts may increasingly be evaluated without class rank, with colleges focusing more on GPA, course rigor, and overall achievement.
4. OBITUARY: Richard M. Kerrigan (hinghamanchor.com) — The family of Richard M. Kerrigan, whose son Michael lives in Hingham, is inviting friends and relatives to a Funeral Mass in Cohasset on October 15 followed by a Celebration of Life. Kerrigan's obituary recalls his roots in Jamaica Plain, careers in engineering and real estate, deep love of family, and his wish that people honor him with hugs, walks, and smiles.
