📰 News we're reading

• Hand grenade donated to Ellsworth Goodwill (bangordailynews.com) — Falmouth residents may recall that their local Goodwill was evacuated in 2023 after a grenade was found among donations, a situation similar to one that just prompted an evacuation at the Ellsworth Goodwill. Authorities determined the latest device was an inert grenade shell and no others were discovered. Officials highlight that such items still trigger full emergency responses for public safety.
