Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Amazon looks to launch delivery drones in Massachusetts, but residents are pushing back (theoaklandpress.com) — Amazon's proposed drone delivery hub in Westborough would fly packages directly to Grafton homes within a 7.5‑mile radius, raising questions about noise, privacy, and safety. While federal regulators control the airspace, Westborough residents are urging more environmental and safety review before the project advances, which could shape how frequently drones buzz over nearby Grafton neighborhoods.
• Convictions valid despite challenge to stash house testimony (masslawyersweekly.com) — A federal appeals court has upheld a defendant's convictions despite concerns over a detective's testimony about an alleged drug stash house, ruling any error was harmless given extensive supporting evidence. In the same legal roundup, readers learn that former Grafton Select Board chair Bruce Spinney III has pleaded guilty to federal charges, underscoring ongoing accountability issues involving local public officials.
• #AEWSOC Week 6: Binghamton, Maine Stay Unbeaten in League Play (americaeast.com) — A University of Vermont goalkeeper from Grafton Sophia Kling, has been named America East Goalkeeper of the Week after a six-save shutout against UConn. The conference update highlights her first career weekly honor and recaps how Binghamton, Maine, and other league teams are faring as the women's soccer season heats up.
