Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen. "When you get injured like that, and have such a passion for the sport, you make it your first priority (to get back) and you have to have the passion and determination to keep going and move past the setback." Unable to bend her knee for four months or her ankle for another three, Hasenfratz was grateful for every physical therapy session and chance to get back on the ball, as each step brought her closer and closer to a return to the pitch. It's safe to say that return was a resounding

Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

Recap: Central Falls Board Hears Enrollment Decline, Tables Superintendent Evaluation

Superintendent Stephanie Downey Toledo said current enrollment is 2,241 students, down from about 3,000 when she started eight years ago. Because funding is tied to each student, she said, hundreds fewer students means millions of dollars less. Budget planning for fiscal 2028 begins in January, and she said some grades could have fewer classes next year. One board member estimated the loss at about $5 million. Separately, the board tabled the superintendent evaluation policy after finding members had the wrong version, and it approved the school physician contract.
