Afraid of heights? Not these "Spidermen" clambering over the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge this week. Closer to the ground, meanwhile, local legislators sit down with Versant to address recent power outages. Community members and organizations step up in a big way to support newly hired Island school staff find housing. And a town-owned building at Bridge End Park is set to be demolished later this year.
