📰 News we're reading
• Alina Gillespie (concordmonitor.com) — A Rumford resident who became deeply involved in the East Providence Historical Society and community garden, Alina Gillespie is remembered for her resilience from wartime Poland to a life of service in New England. Her family highlights her devotion to education, gardening, and quiet generosity, and notes that a flower plot and plaque in East Providence honor her legacy. 
• ACLU: RI Flock Camera Portals Missing Key Details (upriseri.com) — East Providence is among several Rhode Island communities whose Flock license plate camera portals don't reveal which outside agencies can access local plate data, according to the ACLU. The report raises broader transparency questions as hundreds of ALPRs quietly track vehicles statewide, while state officials weigh new standards and some towns cancel contracts altogether.
