📰 News we're reading
• Falmouth takes possible Class A boys lacrosse final preview over Thornton (sunjournal.com) — Falmouth High’s boys lacrosse team dominated Thornton Academy 11-3 on Tuesday, avenging last year’s painful state-final loss and locking in the top seed for the Class A playoffs. Players and coaches say they’re celebrating briefly, then refocusing on Kennebunk and a potential, but not guaranteed, championship rematch. The win keeps Falmouth’s perfect regular season within reach. 
• Organic Solution to Pesticide Pollution Embraced Across Political Parties in Recent Action (beyondpesticides.org) — Falmouth’s strengthened organic lawn care ordinance is highlighted as a national model for reducing pesticide use, with its updated rules now extended into 2026. The piece explains how local hearings, public input, and the Conservation Commission shaped tougher restrictions on petrochemical pesticides and fertilizers, and places Falmouth’s approach alongside similar policies in South Portland and Portland as examples for other communities.
