Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 68 Positive News From Around The World That Might Inspire You (boredpanda.com) — A routine call to fix a broken light in a Woburn home turned into a massive volunteer effort that transformed a 72-year-old resident's deteriorating house. Electrician John Kinney returned on his own time, then rallied tradespeople and neighbors—dubbed "Gloria's Gladiators"—to repair dangerous electrical, plumbing, structural, and wildlife problems at no cost. The project shows how Woburn's community can mobilize when one of its own needs help.
2. Three Woburn men's tennis teams off to sectionals (homenewshere.com) — Woburn Racquet Club is sending three men's teams to the New England sectional tennis championships after strong showings at the 18-and-over district tournaments. The 4.5 and 4.0 squads, both long associated with Woburn captains and players, earned their spots with key doubles wins, while a 5.0 team advanced directly to sectionals. Local tennis fans can watch several familiar Woburn-linked names compete on a regional stage.
3. Potential sale of former Girl Scout camp in Meredity heads to court (unionleader.com) — A high-stakes trust case tied to a former Girl Scout camp on Lake Winnipesaukee will be argued Monday in Middlesex Probate and Family Court in Woburn. A judge will weigh whether to approve an $18 million sale to a developer planning luxury homes, while opponents push to keep the land as a camp. The outcome could set an interesting precedent for charitable trusts and camp properties.
4. Man charged with motor vehicle homicide, OUI in North Reading crash that killed 2, including minor (boston.com) — A 21-year-old Paxton man is due to be arraigned Monday in Woburn District Court after a high-speed crash in North Reading killed two people, including a minor. Prosecutors say his car slammed into a vehicle stopped at a Route 28 red light, which then caught fire despite rescue attempts. The victims' names have not yet been released as the investigation continues.
