Acushnet’s St. Gelais flips seat from Dem to Rep

Last week’s election results took a little bit longer to count than usual. The Neighb News had to go to print with some races and ballot questions still not decided. Now, 99% of the votes are in. Domestic mailed-in ballots postmarked by 11/3 had to be in by 11/6. Ballots mailed from outside the US have until 11/13 to arrive and still be counted. So counting cannot be finished until after then. The results need to be certified by 11/18.

As temperatures fall, concerns about homelessness rise

In the rising light of a chilly morning, a young man huddles on the porch stretching along the library’s façade. He’s surrounded by his belongings, including a sleeping bag. Nearby, another man sits inside a rust-flecked truck, its back windows blocked by what looks like clothing and trash.

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.

Army football commit leads Barnstable football past Milford in Elite 8

MILFORD -- Anthony Parrella had his fingerprints all over the Barnstable High football team's 35-14 upset over No. 2 Milford in the Division 3 Elite Eight on Thursday, Nov. 12. Parrella returned an interception 95 yards for a score and added a pair of rushing touchdowns, one a 51-yard burst, for the No. 7 Red Hawks (7-3). Barnstable advances to the Final Four and will play the winner of Friday's game between No. 3 Marshfield and No. 6 North Attleboro. After trailing 14-7 at halftime, Barnstable scored 28 unanswered points in the second half. Milford got on the board first, with a 3-yard touchdown run by Wanderson Dos Santos and a successful PAT from Tyler Stewart. Barnstable's Perrella ran one in for a touchdown to tie it up, but Milford led again going into the second half. Just before halftime, Milford connected on what seemed at the time to be a momentum-swinging play. Vincent Loscerbo completed a pass to Jaxson Finnimore. As Barnstable rallied to tackle Finnimore, he lateraled to Eli Rosenberg who darted down the sideline for a 52-yard TD with 18 seconds left in the half to push Milford's lead to 14-7. Enter Parrella.

Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Westport rejected Question 7 on housing

Question 7 on “starter homes,” rejected by Massachusetts voters by a slim margin last week, attracted strong opposition in New Bedford’s suburbs. The ballot measure, introduced amidst a statewide housing crisis, would have allowed single-family homes to be built on 5,000 square foot lots, if they were connected to water and sewer services.

Old Rochester eyes 'revenge' against Hudson in Div. 6 playoffs

The ‘Revenge Tour’ continues for the Old Rochester football team as the No. 7 Bulldogs (8-1) will take on second-seeded Hudson (9-0) in the MIAA Div. 6 state quarterfinals at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. The Hawks knocked Old Rochester out of the tournament last year with a 34-7 win. In 2025, Old Rochester lost its first four games before making a run to qualify for the playoffs and reach the Elite 8. This year, the Bulldogs went 7-1 during the regular season and have beaten three teams they lost to a year ago. Hudson could be the fourth. “Last year when we played them, they were better than us,” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault of the Hawks. “I told the kids that yesterday. They were better than us, but we’re a year older, a year more experienced and we’ve gotten better every week. We’re excited.” Junior Benji Baptiste has been impressive this fall for Old Rochester with more than 1,600 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns, which ranks second on the SouthCoast. The Hawks counter with senior quarterback Logan Dome and senior running back JT Torres. “Their quarterback is really good,” Guilbeault said. “He is their guy.”

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.
