Seacoast independent grocery stores feel pinch as AGNE strike disrupts deliveries

HAMPTON — The shelves are stocked a little lighter at Patriot’s Corner Grocery Store with an ongoing strike by workers at the Associated Grocers Northeast . The fall and winter make up the slow season for Patriot’s Corner, located near the southern end of Hampton Beach’s bustling Ocean Boulevard. Catherine Roy said it would be worse if she didn’t have fresh produce and meat to sell to the masses that come during the summer months. “The nice thing about AGNE, is the fresh produce,” Roy said. “It’s not easy to find those things in retail ready form from other sources.” Since the strike by AGNE, however, Patriot’s Corner has a dwindling supply of burger meat and chicken that year-round residents at the beach tend to rely on. Workers at AGNE, which supplies independent grocery stores across eight states, went on strike at the beginning of November. “We don’t have another source where we can, say, get two pounds of chicken breast (packaged),” Roy said. “Bigger sellers at this time of year for families at the beach.” AGNE strike over wages, benefits, working conditions More than 255 workers represented by Teamster Local 633 went on strike at AGNE, according to reporting

Marshwood, Kennebunk football coaches share history ahead of Class B South championship

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Long before Andrew Elwell and Keith Noel prepared to stand on opposite sidelines with a championship at stake, they stood on the same sideline at Sanford High School. Elwell and Noel spent the 2014 high school football season together as assistants under longtime Sanford High School coach Mike Fallon. On Saturday, they will meet as head coaches when Elwell's Marshwood High School football team faces Noel's Kennebunk High School Rams in the Class B South championship game. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. How we got here Marshwood, with the No. 1 seed on the line, beat Kennebunk, 32-16 , in the regular-season finale on Oct. 23. Both Marshwood and Kennebunk, the No. 2 seed, got a first-round bye. Marshwood then beat No. 4 Falmouth , 30-22, and Kennebunk beat No. 3 Biddeford, 27-0, in the Class B South semifinal round. Saturday's winner will face either Fryeburg Academy or Cony High School in the Class B state championship.

Old Maps, Deeds, Docs Still Inspire in Digital Times

The majestic York County Courthouse in Alfred – built in 1806, with a rebuild of the center portion in 1934 after a fire – hasn’t served as a courthouse since the state moved courts to Biddeford in 2023. But it still houses offices and old maps, deeds and documents – some from as far back as 1733. And that means the building is still a draw for history lovers.
