• Alleged lottery ticket thief in Sudbury MA skips court. What's next (metrowestdailynews.com) — Sudbury residents should know that a former Stony Brook Market & Liquor clerk accused of stealing at least $10,000 in lottery scratch tickets from the Hudson Road store has now skipped a Framingham District Court hearing, prompting a warrant for his arrest. Police previously suggested the loss could reach $40,000, and the new warrant means he'll be held without bail if picked up elsewhere.
   

• Thoreau's Sudbury River: 'dammed and cursed' (waylandpost.org) — If you've ever walked Sudbury River trails, this deep dive explains how centuries of dams, mills, and Boston's water system reshaped the river that runs through our region.
