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.

Medway Town Meeting overwhelmingly voted Nov. 9 to ban automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) from town. However, it is not known when the Flock Safety cameras will be removed. Michael Fahey, head of a grassroots organization called “ DeFlock Medway ,” had worked on developing the citizen-sponsored article and was pleased about the vote. The vote was 167-92 to eliminate ALPRs. “I appreciate the police department, the Select Board and the Town Manager,” said Fahey. “Everyone remained very civil on both sides.” Police Chief William Kingsbury said the new bylaw will be submitted to the state Attorney General’s office for review and said the town’s lawyer said it may not be approved. “The Select Board said they will wait to see what the AG decides, then discuss the system’s future at that time,” the chief said. “I appreciate everyone’s point of view regarding the system and the participation in the process.” Kingsbury said it would be up to the Select Board to decide whether the department will continue using the Flock cameras until the Attorney General rules on the new bylaw. Town Manager Michael Boynton said Select Board chairman Dennis Crowley has asked to have the topic put on the

FM is leaving Johnston for a new headquarters in Providence

PROVIDENCE – FM, the mutual commercial insurance company based in Johnston, will turn its newly bought building in downtown Providence into its headquarters, eventually shuttering its Johnston campus. FM, formerly known as FM Global, announced the move in a news release. FM is renovating multiple floors of the building at 10 Memorial Blvd., across from Providence Place. The building previously had an IGT sign, which was replaced with the FM logo in August. FM paid $68.5 million for the 202,000-square-foot building and a long-term ground lease, the company said in February. The property was part of the Capital Center redevelopment of Providence's former rail yards, and the land is owned by Capital Properties Inc. Brightstar, formerly IGT, will be staying in the building as well, its spokesman said after the announcement of the purchase. The commercial tenants already in the building, including Fidelity and the Capital Grille, will be staying. While officials previously said the building would complement its Johnston campus , now the plan is to shutter the Johnston headquarters and move those operations to Providence. "While Johnston will eventually cease to serve as an FM work location, no decision has been made on the timing of that transition,
