Our View: Move Forward With Sea Camps

The more than $1.7 million that Brewster voters will be asked to spend on capital improvements to the Sea Camps bay property at Monday’s special town meeting is an investment worth making. The defeat of master plan funding for the property was a setback; on Nov. 16 voters have an opportunity to put rehabilitation of the property back on track. The money, which comes from community preservation funds and free cash, will rehabilitate tennis courts, allow demolition of up to 21 buildings, replace a water main in an environmentally sensitive area and develop landscaping and trail plans. The property holds the potential for being a real centerpiece for the town, and these steps will continue movement in that direction.

Most people know him as Father Paul, but you can call him General

In 1984, Paul K. Hurley graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army, eventually becoming a captain of artillery in the famed 82nd Airborne Division. The Weymouth native loved the camaraderie of the armed forces, but felt like something was missing in his life. So he left the Army in 1990 to find out exactly what that was.

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

Transformation Progresses at Century and Stuart Bogs

It’s not intuitive. When cranberry bogs are retired, repairing nature sometimes looks intrusive with big trucks and equipment on site. But it’s all very intentional: the water has been diverted for years and needs to find its way back to the flow that will benefit fish and wildlife and protect against flooding. And, left alone, invasive plants would overwhelm the former cranberry bogs. A clear design and workplan are necessary, and that often means moving mud with big trucks. You’ve seen that this fall at two projects: Stuart Bogs and Century Bogs.

Paid Parking, Shuttle Debate Rages On

CHATHAM – As the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Twenty-five years ago this past summer, a pilot shuttle program called Chatham Area Transit, or CAT, ran during the first two weeks of August, carrying passengers from outlying parking lots along two routes with stops downtown and at major tourist attractions like the lighthouse and fish pier. The program was sponsored by the town, the chamber of commerce and the Cape Cod Regional Transition Authority.
