Eastport's Old Home Week lived up to its name this July as hundreds of families welcomed returning loved ones back to the community.

A local woman who made her mark in history for her service in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) recently had the "trip of a lifetime" to Washington, D.C., where she was chosen to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as part of an Honor Flight excursion.

The streets of Eastport were filled with joyous throngs in celebration of Old Home Week, culminating in an enthusiastic turnout on July 4 for the Grand Independence Day Parade capped off by a luminous fireworks display.

Workplace dynamics are playing out as the Down East Community Hospital (DECH) board and administrators respond to a petition of no confidence in Chief Executive Officer Steve Lail, Chief Financial Officer Lynette Parr and Chief Nursing Officer John Marshall.

Finding help when you need it is not always easy.
