📰 News we're reading
• Word from the Smokies: Quilting stitched Appalachian communities together - (smokymountainnews.com) — Maryville gets a nod in this look at how quilting bees once brought Appalachian neighbors together, including a lively 1894 social near town. The story traces how quilts in the Smokies reflected women’s creativity, community ties and resourcefulness, and explains why these textiles remain powerful symbols of regional history today. 
• Where the Water Goes: Cades Cove Wetlands (smokymountains.org) — A Maryville-born writer with Cades Cove roots explains how wetlands in the cove quietly support salamanders, frogs, birds and rare plants while reducing flooding and filtering water. She also notes how past farming drained many of these habitats, and points readers to a wetland exhibit just down the road in Townsend for a closer look.
• Tennessee congressional candidate arrested after allegedly shooting down Flock cameras himself (theblaze.com) — One of the vandalized license plate reader cameras was in the City of Maryville, prompting a joint investigation with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office that led to felony vandalism charges against congressional candidate Adam Heimerman. The case has intensified debate over Flock surveillance cameras, with local and national political figures weighing privacy concerns against public safety.
