Weekend Breakfast

Chris & Bridget in the Evening: Faith York and the PI Community Collaborative

If you like crime dramas and you like stories set in Maine, our guest today has written the perfect book for you. It’s called The Damage, and it’s written by Caitlin Wahrer. Caitlin lives in Southern Maine, she’s a former lawyer, an author, and also a friend. The Damage is her first novel and it’s published by Penguin Random House. It’s available at all major booksellers, as well as our local bookshops including Print, which is where I ordered my copy. In this conversation, Caitlin and I talk about the novel itself, stepping away from law practice, and what she had to learn and go through to land a book deal. For more information, check out Caitlin&apos;s website here.To attend her virtual book launch, sponsored by Print, click this link.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FRFUWGPGNC4JA)

Portland holds City Charter Commission elections on Tuesday June 8, 2021. Voting takes place in the Community Center from 6:45 am until 8:00 pm. I spoke with Peter McLaughlin of the Peaks Island Council about what the issues are in this seemingly run-of-the-mill process. As it turns out - quite a lot. From whether to strengthen the mayor&apos;s role to how city council districts are apportioned and more, the Charter is our City&apos;s founding document. If you want to hear from the candidates directly, here is the link to the candidate forums hosted by PIC and moderated by Peter: Charter Candidate Forums.The pre-episode content you heard is our island update. I'm experimenting with doing "dynamic insertion" of the weekly island update/community calendar. Most of the time, this technology is used for ads, but because we are proudly listener-supported, we can put it to better use for listeners.
