CAMDEN, Maine ― Voters here will be asked to approve a $2.8 million project aimed at upgrading municipal buildings with a focus on making the facilities more energy efficient. A drive-in-style special town meeting is planned Monday at the Camden Snow Bowl, a town-owned ski mountain, for voters to cast ballots.
Officials say by making municipal facilities more energy efficient the town will save more than $1 million in energy savings over a 17-year period.
Kathryn Cody Russell didn’t know that the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association was celebrating their 50th anniversary when she designed her submission for the organization’s 2021 Common Ground Fair poster contest.

A different season finds the Brewer and Hampden Academy basketball programs in different places than they were when they last squared off at the Augusta Civic Center 11 months ago.
On that night Hampden escaped with a 54-52 victory in the Class A North semifinals en route to the 2020 state title — with that step along their gold-ball trail achieved only after what would have been a go-ahead 3-pointer by the Witches with 2.8 seconds left negated by a timeout called just a nanosecond earlier.
While Hampden has only one starter back from last year’s team this winter, Brewer graduated just one senior and the returning veterans used that lingering frustration to fuel a convincing 90-44 road victory Friday night’s rematch.

“The game felt personal,” Brewer junior guard Colby Smith said.
WASHINGTON — Opening arguments in the Senate impeachment trial for Donald Trump over the Capitol riot will begin the week of Feb. 8, the first time a former president will face such charges after leaving office.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the schedule Friday evening after reaching an agreement with Republicans, who had pushed for a delay to give Trump a chance to organize his legal team and prepare a defense on the sole charge of incitement of insurrection.
The February start date also allows the Senate more time to confirm President Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominations and consider his proposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief package — top priorities of the new White House agenda that could become stalled during trial proceedings.
“We all want to put this awful chapter in our nation’s history behind us,” Schumer said about the deadly Jan.
