📰 News we're reading

1. Plymouth North volleyball powered by sets of sisters (wickedlocal.com) — Plymouth North High School's volleyball team is off to a strong start, already topping Marshfield, Hingham, and rival Plymouth South after winning only four matches last year. Sisters Kam and Jazzy Kungu and Charlie and Piper Peters are anchoring the turnaround, with veteran seniors and extra preseason scrimmages helping the Blue Eagles build confidence and chemistry.
   

2. Trunk or Treat returning to Plymouth (newbritainherald.com) — Families in Plymouth can mark their calendars for Sunday, Oct. 18, when the Police Department's annual Trunk or Treat returns to Town Hall on Main Street from 3 to 6 p.m. Kids can collect candy from decorated car trunks while adults support the Plymouth Community Food Pantry, with local businesses again expected to join the Halloween-themed fun.
   

3. 17-year-old girl leads Kingston police on chase, later crashes into driver head-on in Plymouth - Boston News, Weather, Sports (whdh.com) — A serious head-on crash in Plymouth near West Plymouth Square left an adult driver heavily trapped and flown to a Boston trauma center, after police say a 17-year-old girl fled a well-being check in Kingston and drove off in a family car. Plymouth police and fire handled the rescue, and charges from both departments are pending as the investigation continues.
   

4. Embattled Pulte Homes condo project could be history (plymouthindependent.org) — Neighbors in North Plymouth may have succeeded in stopping a 163-unit Pulte Homes condo project after the developer missed a key appeal deadline following permit denials by the town's Conservation Commission. Residents, local officials, and environmental advocates had fought the 40B proposal for months, citing traffic, scale, and proximity to a Superfund site, while some now hope the waterfront land becomes a park or lower-density housing.
   

5. Plymouth County Commissioners Clash Over Workplace Investigation and Staff Terminations (southshore.news subscription) — Plymouth residents should know county commissioners are split over how to investigate an employee's hostile-workplace complaint, with a majority delaying immediate hiring of outside legal counsel in favor of seeking multiple quotes. The rift deepened as commissioners clashed over severance for two terminated employees, while Treasurer Thomas O'Brien defended limiting detailed bank-balance disclosures during televised meetings to reduce fraud risks.
