A superintendent resigns after weeks of controversy, and a familiar face steps in to steady the ship. A standoff with police draws dozens of emergency personnel to the scene and ends with a man in custody. A Deer Isle Selectman decides not to run for office again—nomination papers are due by January 2 for anyone who wants to run for the seat. And the Reach rings in the holiday season with a community cast staging an innovative radio play of It's a Wonderful Life.
