As we head into a new week, let’s take a look at the news from this past week.
Cape Air has discontinued its New Bedford Regional Airport to Logan International Airport flights as of Nov. 7 after six weeks of service. The route was launched in May and began service on Sept. 29. It was discontinued following updated Federal Aviation Administration guidance requiring a 10% reduction in operations at High Impact Airports, including Logan.
The New Bedford Board of Health made numerous “errors of law” when it denied a proposed 1,500-ton-per-day trash transfer station in the New Bedford Business Park. That’s according to trash station developer South Coast Renewable’s appeal in Suffolk Superior Court of the board’s 2-1 denial in September. Though the proposed plant was in Bristol County, state law allows SCR to request the judicial review in Suffolk County.

And here are the most-read stories of the week on https://www.southcoasttoday.com:
After months of rumors, gossip and excitement around the behind-the-scenes hustle, Servedwell Hospitality’s latest project The National Club, opened on Nov. 12.
The new Mexican-inspired restaurant is poised to energize Union Street with a menu that balances homage to tradition with an innovative spirit and a vibrant new chapter for New Bedford’s dining scene.
Could DNA testing on materials from a 1988 murder scene in Dartmouth not only clear the man sentenced for that murder, but lead to clues as to who may have committed the infamously unsolved New Bedford Highway Killings that made headlines that same year?
That’s one of the arguments being championed by New England Innocence Project as they face the Commonwealth in court. The group says the retesting could clear the name of Shawn Tanner, who served more than 30 years for murder and died in 2022. The DA’s office says the law isn’t meant to apply to cases where the defendant is dead.
Raymond P. Veary Jr., whose battle with cancer concluded with his death on Nov. 1 at age 78, will be remembered as a prominent figure on the SouthCoast and beyond. But what he’s remembered for most may depend on who you ask.
He was widely recognized in his longtime roles as an attorney, Bristol County prosecutor, and Massachusetts Superior Court associate justice, having worked on a number of high-profile cases.
On another hand, Veary will just as well be remembered for the vibrant life he led outside of the job.
Moments before the fatal plane crash on Interstate 195 on Oct. 13, the pilot told air traffic control he “should be OK” to re-land at New Bedford Regional Airport.
A report from NTSB shows that the pilot was cleared to land again at New Bedford’s airport, but the pilot does not explain why.
Peace, love, and pastries are heading to Dartmouth. Located at 246 State Road, Lovers Bakery has taken over the former Donut Factory spot.
The owners have combined their passion for food, community, and croissants to open the bakery.
Along with serving locally sourced coffee, the bakery will also offer a variety of specialty croissants, cookies, brownies, and a unique twist on Pop-Tarts, called “Poppin Tarts.”
