📰 News we're reading

• Structure Fire Reported In North Stonington (patch.com) — Emergency crews from North Stonington and neighboring departments, including Pawcatuck and Old Mystic, responded around midday Wednesday to a reported structure fire on Boombridge Road. Residents are urged to steer clear of the 40 block area while firefighters work at the scene and manage traffic and safety concerns.    

• Stonington Issues Warning About Scam (patch.com) — Stonington officials are alerting residents and contractors about fraudulent emails that falsely appear to come from the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission. The messages reference specific application details and request payment, but the town stresses it never collects fees this way and urges people to ignore the emails and withhold personal information.    

• Twice as nice for Max DeLaRosa at ECC track championships (theday.com) — Stonington High sprinter Max DeLaRosa captured ECC Division I titles in both the 100 and 200 meters, then added relay points despite the Bears finishing seventh overall. He was still chasing faster times, while Woodstock Academy claimed the team championship and several Eastern Connecticut athletes posted standout multi-event performances.
