These Genetec Cloudrunners collect and store vehicle data, raising privacy concerns. Idexx says employee safety is top priority and they’re reviewing security. Local officials and state agencies confirm they had no knowledge of the cameras’ installation, and no government entity was involved. Private use could result in misdemeanor charges.

The Maine Mariners turned every goal into a meal, raising over $11,000 this season through their “Goals for Food” initiative—with every home-ice goal earning $75 from sponsors Evergreen Credit Union and Verrill Law. The funds will directly combat hunger in southern Maine, where one in five kids face food insecurity, and the team’s captain says the impact is deeply meaningful. With plans to double next season’s haul to $22,000, this is a powerful example of how sports and community can unite to feed families in need.
