📰 News we're reading

• High school basketball: In Division I girls, it's (likely) Bedford, Londonderry again (unionleader.com) — Bedford High School’s girls and boys basketball teams enter the new NHIAA season as major contenders, with the girls chasing a third straight Division I title and the boys reloading after key departures. Coaches spotlight returning Bedford standouts, injuries, and new roles, while also sizing up rivals like Londonderry and Portsmouth in what’s shaping up to be a highly competitive winter.
   

• CLF appeals federal approval of Manchester wastewater permit (unionleader.com) — Wastewater from Bedford and other nearby towns ultimately flows to Manchester’s treatment plant, whose new federal permit is being challenged for allegedly allowing PFAS “forever chemicals” into the Merrimack River. Environmental advocates argue EPA failed to set proper limits or follow environmental justice policies, raising concerns for Bedford residents whose waste is treated there and for downstream communities relying on the river for drinking water and recreation.
