• How Quincy's Vets Day tradition supports veterans nearly 70 years later (wcvb.com) — Quincy's nearly 70-year-old Vets Day tradition still brings disabled veterans to Quincy Bay each July for a free day of fishing, food, and camaraderie. Local volunteers, first responders, and businesses donate boats, time, and meals, while projects like Quincy Jaws help fund the outing so more veterans from across Massachusetts can enjoy recognition and connection on the water.
• The Flock camera debate is heating up. Which South Shore towns use them. (patriotledger.com) — Quincy residents now know their city uses 50 Flock license-plate cameras and even maintains a public transparency portal tracking how often police search the system. The article explains how these AI-powered cameras work, why some South Shore chiefs praise them, and why privacy advocates and residents in nearby towns are pushing for tighter rules and public hearings.
• New England Aquarium Releases Final Two Sea Turtles, Closes 2025 Cold-Stunning Season (wror.com) — Quincy plays a quiet but crucial role in sea turtle rescue, as the New England Aquarium's Sea Turtle Hospital here just finished its 2025 cold-stunning season after treating nearly 500 Kemp's ridley turtles. Two rehabilitated turtles, including one given hyperbaric oxygen therapy, were recently released off Cape Cod, and staff are already preparing for the next wave of cold-stunned arrivals.
