Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Falmouth Didn't Build Its Own Network, But a Citizen-Led Effort Still Brought Fiber to Town (broadbandbreakfast.com) — Falmouth residents and businesses are set to get new fiber internet service from Gateway Fiber, with construction underway and availability expected later this year. The project grew out of a seven-year citizen push for better broadband, leading to a Municipal Light Plant and a public‑private arrangement instead of a town‑owned network. Locals can already pre‑order service and are seeing Comcast respond with lower prices.
• Falmouth residents fight proposed Eversource substation planned feet from homes (boston25news.com) — Neighbors on Sam Turner Road in Falmouth are organizing against an Eversource plan to replace the existing tap switching station with a larger substation just feet from their homes. Residents fear daily noise, visual impacts, and lower property values, and want the utility to use other land on the parcel or town‑owned sites. Eversource says alternatives would add costs, environmental impacts, and delay reliability upgrades, and the project is under state review.
• Cape Cod and Islands high school football picks for a crucial week (capecodtimes.com) — Cape Cod high school football fans will see Falmouth picked to notch another win this week after a confidence‑building victory at Nantucket. The columnist runs through key matchups across the Cape and Islands, noting playoff implications for several teams. If you follow local football, this week's slate could shape postseason hopes for programs from Falmouth to Barnstable and beyond.
