Today's riddle: Why do some birds fly south for the winter? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• South Shore News...letter: The $750,000 Question (southshore.news) — Hingham residents face a key decision on October 29, when a special town meeting and separate ballot vote will determine funding for roof and HVAC projects at Plymouth River, South, and High Schools. The broader newsletter also tracks mounting budget pressures, surveillance technology rollbacks, and housing debates across the South Shore, offering context for how similar financial strains could shape Hingham's choices.
• Duxbury exacts revenge by rolling over archrival Hingham (bostonherald.com) — Hingham High's football team fell 36-15 to rival Duxbury, which used a dominant passing attack to seize control after halftime. Despite missing a key running back, the Harbormen mounted some offense behind quarterback Liam Merrigan, but couldn't match Duxbury's big-play touchdowns and defensive stops in this key Patriot League Keenan Division matchup.
• Massachusetts Delivers Specialized Firefighter Training for Building Collapses and Major Emergencies (hollistonreporter.com) — Firefighters from Hingham are among those taking part in the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy's advanced Structural Collapse Rescue Technician course, sharpening skills for building collapses and other major emergencies. The free, eight‑day training in Bridgewater covers lifting heavy debris, breaching concrete, and shoring unstable structures, helping ensure local crews are better prepared for rare but high‑risk incidents.
