Over the last couple of weeks, students at Cave Hill School, Mountain View School, and the Ella Lewis School celebrated their completion of the eleven‑week DARE Program. Each ceremony was filled with proud families, excited students, and plenty of well‑earned smiles.

We’re incredibly proud of every student who graduated. Your hard work, participation, and commitment to making safe, healthy choices truly stand out.

A heartfelt thank‑you goes to Sgt. Rob Morang, who teaches the program at all three schools. His dedication, energy, and genuine care for the students make a lasting impact in each community. Thank you, Sgt. Morang, for everything you do.

THE OWNER HAS BEEN LOCATED.

Earlier today, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a dog running loose on Mud Creek Road in Lamoine. The dog did not appear to have any tags or identification indicating who the owner may be.

The dog was transported to the SPCA in Trenton to be housed until the owner can be identified. If this is your dog, please contact the SPCA directly to arrange pickup at 207-667-8088.

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend!

Pilot Tibbetts served the people of Maine with professionalism, dedication, and courage. The loss of a member of Maine’s public safety community is felt far beyond any one agency, and our thoughts are with everyone affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.

We also keep the entire Maine Warden Service in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, sir. Your service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
