This week for The Ten ...

... we continue to monitor the latest Ukraine developments. You can find them at mainepublic.org and npr.org.

Our local newsroom is examining how changing COVID guidance is affecting Maine schools, a move by Gov. Janet Mills to limit Russian-made vodka sales, and a lawsuit over the way Maine represents low-income defendants.

Across the public media system, some of our other interesting picks touch on Ford’s pivot towards electric vehicles, romance in young adult fiction, and a father-daughter duo hiking in New Hampshire.

Hope so!
