'God put me here.' Stang coach finds strength in cheer team during cancer battle

DARTMOUTH — Fairhaven's Jen Hassey was determined to create an encouraging environment when she took over the Bishop Stang cheer team three years ago. The Spartans are not only supporting one another, they’ve become a great support system for Hassey as she battles breast cancer. “Literally every step they’ve been cheering me on,” said the 50-year-old Hassey. “For this community to rally behind me like it has, God puts you where you belong for a reason. I think a couple of years ago, he said you’re going to need a great support system so you should go coach at Stang and here I am. Honestly there are days I wouldn’t have gotten through without these two girls (Sydney Andrade and Aleena Borra) and this team.” Hassey diagnosed in the summer Following a routine mammogram in March, Hassey was called back for a second scan. She knew something was wrong when the woman grabbed a box of tissues as she took her into a different room to go over the results. “It just kind of spiraled from there,” Hassey said. “I found out the week of fourth of July I had breast cancer.” Hassey didn’t immediately share the news with everyone,

Lindsay Clancy sees latest setback as judge refuses to dismiss murder case – what happens next

Plymouth, Massachusetts - A judge has denied Lindsay Clancy's legal team's efforts to have her triple murder case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds, along with two other motions.

"A retrial on the murder indictments does not violate Clancy's right not to be placed in double jeopardy," Judge Sullivan wrote. Clancy's lead defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, had also previously f...

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.

YOUR VIEW: CAL Express will ‘widen the road’

The expansion of Plymouth’s CAL Express transportation program is more than an adjustment to a schedule. For an older adult who cannot drive, a ride can determine whether the day includes friendship, a class, a medical appointment, or hours of unwanted isolation. Transportation is sometimes called a convenience. For many neighbors, it is the difference between being included and being left behind.
