• Maine boys lacrosse success starts with supremacy at the faceoff (pressherald.com) — Falmouth High senior Peter Kearns is dominating boys lacrosse faceoffs, giving the Navigators a major edge and even scoring seconds into games. Coaches around Maine describe how his specialized “FOGO” role can swing momentum, while rivals study his tendencies ahead of a June 2 rematch in Falmouth against defending champion Thornton Academy. 
• The bills that Maine lawmakers passed — and didn't pass — this year (sunjournal.com) — Two Falmouth lawmakers, Sen. Teresa Pierce and Rep. Amy Kuhn, helped shape a busy Augusta session that produced new rules on AI in political ads, housing investments, and school funding changes. The Legislature also advanced immigration limits on ICE, transportation safety measures, tribal tax changes, and climate-damage studies, while some high-profile data privacy and speed-camera bills failed.
