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.

At 26, Ex-Holbrook High star restarts his hoops career at Quincy College
QUINCY -- Even though it's been a while, Kyree LaPlanche vividly remembers the feeling of getting buckets in a crowded gym with fans cheering him on. It was a much more subdued atmosphere at South West Middle School on Wednesday night, Nov. 4. No applause reverberating off the walls here, just the squeak of sneakers on the hardwood, occasionally drowned out by head coach Jamall Griffin barking orders at his Quincy College men's basketball team. Still, the relative quiet was music to LaPlanche's ears. The former Holbrook High star has spent four years away from basketball, but now, at the ripe old age of 26, he's eagerly using up his one season of junior-college eligibility. "Man, it's so fun being out here and being able to compete with these guys," LaPlanche, a 5-foot-9 guard, said during a break in what was shaping up as a three-hour Granite practice on the eve of the 2026-27 season opener. "Just being able to have this opportunity means a lot to me. I don't take any of these moments for granted, especially going through the journey that I've been on. It's been a lot.
