Greetings! Welcome to Friday, May, and all things spring! And, of course, to the latest dispatch from your Coast Star Connection.
This week I have a trio of stories for you, the first of which will delight you if you're a fan of the man who gave us Cujo and Pennywise the Clown . . .
Stephen King's Maine
When Sharon Kitchens tells you she is a lifelong Stephen King fan, she means it: she read her first novel by the celebrated author, “Salem’s Lot,” before she was even 10 years old.
And here’s more evidence that Kitchens is a loyal fan of the man who gave the world Pennywise the Clown: she has written a book about King and about how the people he has met and the places he has lived have inspired a career that has spanned more than half a century.
“Stephen King’s Maine: A History & Guide,” the first book by Kitchens, is slated to hit the shelves of local bookstores on May 20.
Life Care Facility proposed in Wells
A proposal to build new housing for the elderly on Post Road is currently working its way through the town’s planning process.
Select Board? Or Town Council?
Residents have until Monday, May 6, to answer an online survey and let the local Charter Commission know which form of town government they would like to have in Kennebunk.
