📰 News we're reading

• Baseball: Bluejays pound Parkview, clinch Trailways South repeat (gazettextra.com) — Johnson Creek baseball fans just saw a big milestone: Aiden Smith threw a no-hitter as the Bluejays routed Parkview 12–0 at Wuestenberg Field to repeat as Trailways South champions. Strong hitting, error-free defense, and Smith’s dominant pitching gave Johnson Creek a three-game conference lead with two to play.
   

• Health Department launches community air-quality monitoring initiative (gazettextra.com) — Johnson Creek residents can soon check real-time local air quality, as Jefferson County plans to install a PurpleAir monitor in the village later this month. The new system, part of a broader county initiative, will help people—especially those with breathing or heart issues—track fine particle pollution and make safer choices during smoky or poor-air days.
