📰 News we're reading
• Exhibit MOU 3: Qualified Subdivisions' Allocations (maine.gov) — Scarborough is specifically listed in a new statewide allocation table, showing the town’s share of a consolidated state funding distribution alongside other Cumberland County communities. While the document is technical, it confirms Scarborough’s role and percentage in this broader Maine funding breakdown. 
• Deer, dog ticks are abundant in Maine right now. Here's what to do about them. (pressherald.com) — A Scarborough-based MaineHealth tick lab scientist is helping track a surge of deer and dog ticks now active across Maine, including coastal communities like ours. Experts explain how to identify each species, when they’re most active, and the best ways to protect yourself and pets—from repellant and clothing tips to safe removal and when to call your doctor about possible Lyme symptoms.
• Thornton baseball's two-out production stops Scarborough (pressherald.com) — Scarborough High’s baseball season ended Thursday when Thornton Academy exploded for 12 two‑out runs in a Class A South quarterfinal in Saco, winning 12–2 by mercy rule. Scarborough’s pitchers briefly held a 3–2 game before a long third‑inning rally, and the Red Storm couldn’t capitalize on their own scoring chances as Thornton advanced to Saturday’s semifinal.
