• Barrington council candidates differ on funding for Chianese Park work (eastbayri.com) — Barrington voters can hear directly how Town Council candidates would spend remaining 2024 recreation bond money, especially on potential upgrades at Chianese Park. The candidates outline competing visions for improving athletic fields across Barrington, weighing neighborhood concerns, lighting at the middle school, and the need to preserve funds for other parks and maintenance.
• Barrington School Committee candidates open to middle school field lights (eastbayri.com) — Barrington residents can see where School Committee candidates stand on adding lights to the Barrington Middle School athletic fields, a change that could expand practice time for local students. Both candidates say they're open to the idea but want clear details on funding, coordination with the Town Council, and meaningful input from nearby neighbors before any decision.
• Trendsetter: Meet Kannetha Brown (rimonthly.com) — A Cambodian American photographer reflects on how growing up in predominantly white Barrington shaped her intimate, family-centered work and search for cultural connection. She explains how her mother's history, Buddhist practice, and recent time in Cambodia influence her style, tattoos, and commitment to documenting Cambodian identity. Her story offers Barrington residents a personal window into local multicultural experiences.
