We cover several major stories this week. A recent "Meet the Candidates" forum features candidates for contested races on the CSD 13 school board and Deer Isle select board. After listening to opposing testimony at a public hearing on proposed regulation of aquaculture sites in town waters, the Deer Isle select board votes to take the proposed ordinance off the warrant. We also offer an extensive article and historical graph on the Town of Deer Isle's expenditures in recent years.

Forum hosts Island school board, Deer Isle select board candidates

A Meet the Candidates event hosted by the Deer Isle Sunset Congregational Church provided an opportunity for the community to interact with two candidates running for one seat on the Deer Isle select board and four candidates vying for two Community School District 13 school board seats: three declared candidates and write-in Jessica Lynne Witham.

Who we are

I've been a math teacher for most of my career, and I am fascinated with numbers. I love how they tell a story and line up in the most unusual ways. The Fibonacci sequence is one of my favorite math topics. But here is another cool concept: if we could travel back in time, tracing the branches of our family trees, the number of our ancestors doubles with each generation.

Were winters worse?

Maybe, in some ways, when they didn't receive weather reports on the radio, TV, phone, internet, etc. Farmers and mariners used natural signs. Last winter there wasn't that much snow; January was quite warm in 2024.

Island Ad-Vantages Description:

Editor: Penobscot-Bay-Press

Categoría: Newspaper

Idioma: English

Frecuencia: Weekly

Island Ad-Vantages, based in Stonington, Maine traces its history through weekly papers published on Deer Isle from 1882. Serving the island towns of Deer Isle, Isle au Haut and Stonington, the Island Ad-Vantages provides a comprehensive offering of the news and events of the area, while paying special attention to the people, institutions and the natural beauty that make the community the place it is. From lobster fishing and the impact a $46 million a year that industry has on the community to annual events such as graduations, local sports coverage and a vibrant creative economy, the Ad-Vantages combines words and images to deliver a picture of an area that is as much about its beauty as it is about its ethic of hard work, determination and dedication.
