In this issue

What made the massive basking shark beach itself in Blue Hill last week? Researchers took samples of the shark to find out. In Brooksville, the feds have spent tens of millions of dollars cleaning up the Callahan Mine, and the work is coming to an end (but don't eat the shellfish—maybe ever—warns an official). Meanwhile, in Blue Hill, PFAS are found in 30 percent of tested wells in Blue Hill. On a happier note, The Packet announces a new content-sharing agreement that brings more news to readers, and the Brooklin Food Corps plans a community party.

The Weekly Packet Description:

Publisher: Penobscot-Bay-Press

Category: Newspaper

The Weekly Packet has been serving the Blue Hill Peninsula for the last five decades. It shares the stories and news of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Sedgwick and Surry, Maine. Steeped rich in traditions such as fishing, boat building and agriculture, the newspaper follows the lives of its people and industry while also serving as the local paper of record and reporting on the municipal and educational decisions that affect the lives of the people that call the peninsula their home. Blue Hill, with its hospital and diverse alternative health care providers, as well as its many businesses and cultural institutions, serves as a nexus for the area.
