A confusing and chaotic week isn't over yet, after a principal and curriculum coordinator resigned at Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary School. Out at sea, the housing crunch is also affecting (wait for it) lobsters? The Deer Isle select board hears about aquaculture regulations. And an osprey nest caught fire, shutting down access to and from the island for hours. Plus, ever wonder what's out there on Crotch Island? Our reporter takes you there for a firsthand look.
