Harpswell on the Anchor: Donnette Goodenow

The Harpswell Anchor collected 29 honors in the Maine Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest this year, including first place in its division for News Story, Education Story, Environmental Story, Investigative Report, Political Story, and Courts Story, as well as a special Freedom of Information Award.

Lynn Kilchenstein, a Cundy's Harbor resident with a background as a leader in higher education and the arts, has joined the board of Harpswell News, the nonprofit publisher of the Harpswell Anchor.

The Harpswell Anchor will present a panel discussion about the future of fire and rescue in Harpswell on Aug. 15 at the Orr's Island Library. The panel will include leaders of local emergency agencies and contributors to the Anchor's August special report, "Involuntary Response: Harpswell Fire and Rescue in Transition."
