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

Tiverton's 2028 Town Plan Rewrite Still Waits on a Consultant Search

Tiverton's comprehensive plan is the document the Planning Board relies on when it approves or denies projects, from new buildings to walkable zones. Members said the town has about a year and a half to write a new one, and a request for proposals to hire a consultant has not gone out. A speaker said the draft is expected to go to the Town Council after the new council is sworn in in December. One member urged the council to appoint a volunteer advisory committee now so residents can start shaping the plan.
