📰 News we're reading
• Baseball Recap: Waterville's Losing Streak Is a Thing of the Past (maxpreps.com) — Waterville’s baseball team finally snapped its ten-game skid with a 4–2 road win over rival Winslow, improving to 5–13. Strong pitching from Derek Couture and aggressive base running from several players powered the victory, while Winslow’s long losing streak stretched to 26 games dating back to last season. 
• With just $500, Maine's syringe disposal program can't get off the ground (centralmaine.com) — Waterville is one of several Maine cities where volunteers have been holding frequent syringe and trash cleanups, but a new state grant program meant to support this work has just $500 and no staff. Advocates say better funding could expand disposal boxes and organized cleanups, easing concerns about discarded needles in public spaces. Local groups are now looking to opioid settlement money and state partners for help.
