Welcome to Midcoast for the Record, our brand new weekend newsletter. I’m Nina Mahaleris, website editor for The Times Record.
You may be wondering what the purpose of this new product is, given that we send out a newsletter with our daily headlines on weekday mornings. Since the newspaper only prints Tuesday through Friday, we at The Times Record wanted to find a way to give you – our valued readers – a little something extra on the weekends. Starting today, I’ll send a roundup of the best Midcoast
stories of the week with a personal note (plus a special bonus story from our archives!) right to your inbox on Saturday mornings.
So kick back – grab a cup of coffee or tea if you need it – and get to reading. Between Big Al’s closing, Brunswick giving final approval for a new emergency homeless shelter and Bath Iron Works sending off it's last Zumwalt-class destroyer, a lot happened this week.
Finally, if you have any local story ideas, questions or suggestions for this newsletter, feel free to send me an email. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
MEET KATHLEEN O'BRIEN who covers Bath & Bath Iron Works, along with Arrowsic, Georgetown, Harpswell, Phippsburg, West Bath, Wiscasset and Woolwich for the Times Record. Read more from Kathleen at timesrecord.com, follow her on Twitter or send her an email.
