She started dancing in the Roaring ’20s. At 102, Cape Cod’s ‘Tiny’ hasn’t stopped

When Grace Marie Ferreira wiggled her toes upon hearing music as a child in the Roaring ‘20s, her mother declared she would be a dancer . Now Grace Catrambone , 102 years old and 4 feet 9 inches tall, is still dancing several times a week and is well-known in Falmouth and across Cape Cod at ballroom and line dancing events as “Tiny the Dancer.” “My faith and my dancing have kept me going,” she said in her cozy Falmouth apartment on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Born in Falmouth on May 27, 1924, she also credits family and friends for helping her to keep active and live independently. Grace points out the many framed photos surrounding her living room – the 1906 wedding portrait of her parents, George and Anna Ferreira; her twin brother, Anthony, in his Merchant Marine uniform; her great-granddaughters and her many current friends at their dance parties. She also proudly notes several quilt hangings featuring her favorite cardinals, made by her daughter Ruthann as well as special gifts, including a small tree that was loaded with $100 bills on her 100 th birthday. Catrambone grew up on one of Falmouth’s biggest farms Grace's mother, born in 1882,

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.
