1. Exeter customers paying more on electric bills with Community Power: Here's why (seacoastonline.com) — If you’re on Community Power in Exeter, you’ve been paying more for electricity than Unitil customers for the last 18 months, even though the program once delivered big savings. Town energy leaders explained why rates flipped, how long the gap may last, and exactly how Exeter residents can opt out or switch back if they choose.    

2. Jude Hall: A Legacy of Courage, Sacrifice, and Enduring Freedom (nps.gov) — Exeter readers may be surprised to learn that Revolutionary War veteran Jude Hall, born into slavery near Exeter, secured his freedom through eight years of service and later settled by Jude’s Pond in town. His legacy lives on in Exeter landmarks and memorials, and through descendants who fought in the Civil War for Black freedom.    

3. Exeter's Cody Morissette released by Miami Marlins, seeks 'another shot' (seacoastonline.com) — Exeter baseball fans will recognize Cody Morissette, the Exeter High standout who led the Blue Hawks to back‑to‑back state titles and was just released by the Miami Marlins organization. Now 26 and coming off a strong start in Triple‑A Jacksonville, he’s reflecting on his “bittersweet” exit and actively looking for another shot in professional baseball.    

4. US Selects Two Rare Earth Projects for $134 Million in DOE Funding (energynews.pro) — Exeter already hosts a Phoenix Tailings facility producing rare earth alloys, now serving as a springboard for a larger, federally backed demonstration plant in Oklahoma.
