Good morning, Portland.

Trinity Lutheran Church and Wayside Food Programs will serve a free community meal on Wednesday, July 16 from 5 to 6 p.m. at Westbrook Community Center — 426 Bridge St. with live music on some evenings.

The Hancock County Sheriff's Department said first responders reached one swimmer safely — but were unable to rescue 18-year-old Shawn Clapper from Deer Isle, who drowned at Walker Pond on Saturday.

Robert Stolt, 22, of Augusta jumped from his 23-foot boat near Bath on Sunday to save his dog from the Kennebec River but has not been seen since, and a witness called 911 after spotting two people in the water near Lines Island while rescuers, who saved a female passenger and a second dog, resumed their search Monday at 5 a.m.

On July 3, American Airlines purchased 5,925 gallons of toxic firefighting foam concentrate for $250,000 from the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority at Brunswick Landing — a step taken to remove hazardous PFOS chemicals from the former Navy base.

The sale proceeds will be used to clean the foam system in Hangar 5 and support new state policies requiring the removal and inventory of PFAS-laden foam by year-end.

Maine State Police established a tip line Monday as detectives investigated the killing of Sunshine Stewart, a 48-year-old Tenants Harbor woman whose body was found after she went missing while paddleboarding last week in Union—authorities ask anyone who saw her on Crawford Pond between 6 and 9 p.m. Wednesday to report the sighting.

Authorities arrested 64-year-old Randy Marcotte for chasing patrons with a hockey stick — officers also found knives, a hatchet, and nunchucks in his truck — after multiple calls reported the incident outside 7 Jackson's Corner Store on Alfred Road in Lyman Saturday, and he is held at York County Jail without bail.

Maine extended the non-emergency transportation agreement for another year so that Modivcare, Penquis and Waldo Community Action Partners continue providing medical rides until June 30 as Penquis appealed the decision awarding a full-state contract to Modivcare—the dispute remains in the Supreme Judicial Court.

Scarborough Town Council raised beach parking and nonresident pass fees by replacing lower rate hours with a flat $20 daily rate and increasing Bayview Avenue meter rates from $1 to $5 per hour.

Data showed fewer parking lot full days despite the fee hikes—raising concerns that these changes may limit local access and hurt community spending.

Tick season in Maine peaks between May and July and again in October and November; most Lyme disease cases occur in June and July while American dog ticks remain active through August.

The Maine CDC says ticks stay active when temperatures are above freezing — especially above 40°F — so caution is needed even during the summer.
