• Daphne rejects rezoning Randall Ave property from residential to business (gulfcoastmedia.com) — Daphne residents on Randall Avenue just saw the City Council reject a proposal to rezone 805 Randall from residential to business, blocking plans for a new professional office. Neighbors argued the change would push commercial creep into their street, while the owner said it would replace an aging rental with a quality office. Council ultimately sided with residents’ concerns about future commercial expansion. 
• Child exposed to meth after picking up random dollar bill found on floor, police say (kptv.com) — Daphne police are warning families after a child picked up a folded dollar bill at a local business and later tested positive for meth residue on their hands, though the child is medically fine. Investigators don’t believe the bill was planted to harm anyone but urge parents to teach kids not to touch unknown money, pills, or powders and to wash immediately and seek care if exposure occurs.
• Todd, Eagles look to continue building foundation in program's third year (gulfcoastmedia.com) — Bayshore Christian’s young football program, based at its new upper-school campus in Daphne, is gearing up for its third season with more players, more seniors, and a friendlier schedule.
