Kenzie & Gennaro - you will be missed

Kenzie & Gennaro - you will be missed

In spite of having seen Gone, Baby, Gone at least three times, it was only recently that a friend told me it was the 4th in a series of six crime thrillers by Dennis Lehane. I swear, I am not living under a rock, but how did I miss this for so long?! Common sense ain’t all that common. Sounds like something Patrick Kenzie might say, a "hard-boiled" private investigator in the very best of the tradition.  Read more.....

 

Vandalism in Readfield

Vandalism in Readfield

On 04/16/2012 at approximately 0705 hours, the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to buses belonging to the Kents Hill School located at 1614 Main Street, Rt. 17, in Readfield having been vandalized.  The three vans were parked behind the Alfond Athletic Center and sustained approximately $7,000.00 in damage between them.  In all, windows were smashed, tires slashed, head and tail lights were broken, and several mirrors destroyed.

Kennebec County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Cyrway, who also happens to be the agency’s DARE officer, responded and subsequently learned of two skateboarders who had been escorted from the property earlier in the week and they were disrespectful to the employees at the facility when asked to leave.  Deputy Cyrway learned the duo did not attend Kents Hill but do visit the area regularly for skateboarding. 

CASA to Offer Responsible Alcohol Seller Training to Local Merchants

 

In an effort to empower local merchants with the skills and confidence to prevent underage liquor sales, and to ensure that stores are operating within Maine’s liquor laws, a local training will be held on Tuesday, December 6, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at Brunswick Landing.  Communities Against Substance Abuse (CASA), a coalition coordinated by Mid Coast Hospital, offers this State of Maine-approved Responsible Alcohol Seller Training to clerks, managers, and storeowners.

Spaces are limited and registration is required.  Please call CASA at (207) 373-6957 to reserve a seat. There is a $10 registration fee that can be paid at the door.

Frank Lyons will lead this training. Lyons spent 23 years as a liquor enforcement officer and is a certified instructor with the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.
