• Tis the Season: 5 Places to Go Apple Picking (caughtindot.com) — Stow families have two nearby options for classic fall apple picking, with Honey Pot Orchards and Shelburne Farms both offering kid-friendly attractions, hayrides, and plenty of apples. The guide also highlights other regional orchards, plus a reminder to check each farm's hours and crop availability before heading out. It even invites you to share your favorite apple recipes. 
• Boston Scraps Flock Camera Program After Privacy Breach (news-usa.today) — Boston has ended its trial of Flock license plate cameras after discovering a configuration error that briefly exposed city vehicle data to outside agencies, intensifying statewide privacy concerns. The report notes that similar misuse investigations led to officer discipline or resignations in Stow and New Bedford, and that many Massachusetts communities are now canceling Flock contracts. These developments could shape how Stow approaches future surveillance technology and police accountability.
