 Unless you've been on a South Sea island picking breadfruit for the past week, you have possibly heard that Mr. and Mrs. Obama, plus Malia and Sasha, will visit Bar Harbor this weekend. We've got the local reaction plus details of the preparations in this week's edition.
And you remember how the Godfather said that revenge is a dish that tastes best cold? Well, Dave Seward likes his revenge cooked up in a cast iron skillet over an open fire. Mr. Seward wanted vengeance after three groundhogs cleaned out his veggie garden. And he got it: they devoured his garden, he devoured them. Read all about it in this week's American.
And read about RSU 24 Superintendent Bill Webster's one-year review by the school board after a somewhat tumultuous year. Looks like he's doing a good job.
The Maine Sea Coast Mission has a new director. The Rev. Scott Planting comes by way of Farmington, where he is pastor to three rural churches. Like the Mission, Pastor Planting is all about small towns and the people in them.
And we continue our coverage of the murder charges brought against a former Ellsworth man, Thayne Ormsby. He's back in Maine now awaiting appointment of a lawyer.
All this plus a salute to Curtis Shoe, a retrospective review of "The Parent Trap," coverage of the dedication of the new emergency center at Maine Coast Memorial Hospital, baseball and the big House & Garden Tour. All in this week's Ellsworth American.
