She started dancing in the Roaring ’20s. At 102, Cape Cod’s ‘Tiny’ hasn’t stopped

When Grace Marie Ferreira wiggled her toes upon hearing music as a child in the Roaring ‘20s, her mother declared she would be a dancer . Now Grace Catrambone , 102 years old and 4 feet 9 inches tall, is still dancing several times a week and is well-known in Falmouth and across Cape Cod at ballroom and line dancing events as “Tiny the Dancer.” “My faith and my dancing have kept me going,” she said in her cozy Falmouth apartment on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Born in Falmouth on May 27, 1924, she also credits family and friends for helping her to keep active and live independently. Grace points out the many framed photos surrounding her living room – the 1906 wedding portrait of her parents, George and Anna Ferreira; her twin brother, Anthony, in his Merchant Marine uniform; her great-granddaughters and her many current friends at their dance parties. She also proudly notes several quilt hangings featuring her favorite cardinals, made by her daughter Ruthann as well as special gifts, including a small tree that was loaded with $100 bills on her 100 th birthday. Catrambone grew up on one of Falmouth’s biggest farms Grace's mother, born in 1882,

Our View: Move Forward With Sea Camps

The more than $1.7 million that Brewster voters will be asked to spend on capital improvements to the Sea Camps bay property at Monday’s special town meeting is an investment worth making. The defeat of master plan funding for the property was a setback; on Nov. 16 voters have an opportunity to put rehabilitation of the property back on track. The money, which comes from community preservation funds and free cash, will rehabilitate tennis courts, allow demolition of up to 21 buildings, replace a water main in an environmentally sensitive area and develop landscaping and trail plans. The property holds the potential for being a real centerpiece for the town, and these steps will continue movement in that direction.

Most people know him as Father Paul, but you can call him General

In 1984, Paul K. Hurley graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army, eventually becoming a captain of artillery in the famed 82nd Airborne Division. The Weymouth native loved the camaraderie of the armed forces, but felt like something was missing in his life. So he left the Army in 1990 to find out exactly what that was.

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

Paid Parking, Shuttle Debate Rages On

CHATHAM – As the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Twenty-five years ago this past summer, a pilot shuttle program called Chatham Area Transit, or CAT, ran during the first two weeks of August, carrying passengers from outlying parking lots along two routes with stops downtown and at major tourist attractions like the lighthouse and fish pier. The program was sponsored by the town, the chamber of commerce and the Cape Cod Regional Transition Authority.
