Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Aging Maine schools are impacting students' education (wmtw.com) — Poland residents recently saw Poland Community School close for a week because of water damage, a local example of how aging buildings are disrupting learning across Maine. A federal report and state data show widespread structural problems, limited construction funding, and billions in deferred maintenance, prompting calls for new funding strategies and stronger community involvement.
• See photos from the Western Maine Conference golf qualifier (pressherald.com) — Poland High School golfers Meghan Komanetsky and Aubrey Fortin were among those competing at the Western Maine Conference golf qualifier in Vassalboro, vying for spots in next week's state championship. A photo gallery highlights their swings and putts alongside players from several other Maine schools, though final results were not yet available.
• Auburn's Flock cameras will come down, city officials say (sunjournal.com) — A Poland resident, David Boyer, joined two Auburn lawmakers in leading a citizens initiative to ban Flock license-plate-reading cameras from Auburn streets, pushing the issue to a special election. Auburn has already ended its contract and is pressing Flock to remove remaining cameras, while city officials emphasize data access has stopped and say they'll take them down if the company doesn't.
