Today's riddle: What gets wetter & wetter as it dries? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Shrewsbury Debuts New Lifesaving Technology (patch.com) — Shrewsbury police are rolling out Project Lifesaver, a radio-frequency tracking program to quickly locate residents with conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s, or dementia who may wander. Eight officers are now certified to use the new equipment, which officials say can cut search times dramatically and give Shrewsbury families greater peace of mind. Details on how local residents can enroll will be shared soon.
2. Longtime Shrewsbury Resident Turns 100 (patch.com) — Shrewsbury is honoring longtime resident Carmen Martone, who has lived in town since 1957 and just celebrated his 100th birthday. Town Manager Kevin Mizikar presented him with a proclamation from the Select Board, and residents are being invited to share birthday wishes that will be compiled and sent to him.
3. New search of pond in deadly 2025 Shrewsbury shooting over graffiti dispute (nbcboston.com) — Police divers returned to Jordan Pond in Shrewsbury on Wednesday as part of the ongoing investigation into the 2025 shooting death of Kevin Doherty, who was killed after dropping his child at Calvin Coolidge Elementary. Investigators stress there’s no current threat to public safety, but the renewed search aims to recover potential evidence tied to the alleged gunman’s case.
4. Baseball Splits MASCAC Twinbill with Worcester State (bsubears.com) — A Worcester State baseball player from Shrewsbury, senior Mason Bates, helped spark a walk-off win as the Lancers split a doubleheader with Bridgewater State and delayed the Bears’ bid to clinch the MASCAC title. Local fans may enjoy following how this Shrewsbury standout factored into a tight conference race decided in the final innings.
5. Princeton fighter plane has had a long journey over the decades (fiftyplusadvocate.com) — A rare World War II Italian fighter plane on display decades ago at a Princeton auto museum has an unexpected Shrewsbury connection through museum founder Albert Garganigo, who grew up near Route 9 and South Quinsigamond Avenue. A former local visitor, now a retired Air Force veteran, recently rediscovered a tiny seat belt fragment he pocketed as a child and is working to reunite it with the fully restored aircraft at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
