• Barrington Town Council focuses on security cameras at ballfields (eastbayri.com) — Barrington's Town Council is weighing whether installing security cameras or alarms at local ballfields and parks is worth the cost compared with repairing vandalism. Officials discussed past damage at Sherwood Park, legal and privacy concerns around monitoring children, and ultimately ordered a detailed review of camera and alarm options, including cost-effectiveness, before making any final decision.
   

• St. Anthony's comes alive late in first half to win at Firebird Invitational (newsday.com) — Barrington's defending state champion boys soccer team fell 5–0 to St. Anthony's at the Firebird Invitational in New York after holding an early one-goal deficit.
