HISTORIC LOSS
After 251 years, a York home has been reduced to a pile of rubble, and local historic preservation experts caution that without changes in town, it will happen again.

PRESERVING HIGHLAND FARM
York has received a special request to help protect approximately 150 acres of open space.

OLD YORK OFFICIAL DEPARTS
Old York Curator Tom Johnson is pending his final weeks with Old York after almost a decade and a half as he prepares for his new position with Canterbury Shaker Village.

SOUTHERN MAINE CURRENTS
It has been a busy month in Ogunquit with a special election, the state's shoreland changes and the final phase of a charter review.

THE SPORTS REPORT
Big wins for Wildcats hockey and girls' basketball, a mix of wins and losses for boys' basketball and a strong showing at the first meet of the season for indoor track highlight the start of winter sports.
