Dutremble seeks re election for York County Sheriff
York County Sheriff Richard Dutremble announces his bid for re election in the upcoming June Democratic primary facing challenger Donald Cote, current county commission chairman. Dutremble, 44, first won office in 1962 and has expanded the department’s radio and dispatch services. He and his wife Ann Seymour live with five children in Biddeford. He previously ran Dutremble Brothers grocery with his brother Lucien, now Biddeford mayor, and was active in the March of Dimes and St Mary’s Church. Census figures show more southerners moving south between 1970 and 1975, reversing earlier trends.

Walters Leaves NBC for ABC Evening News
Barbara Walters, star of Today, will coanchor ABCs evening news after accepting an offer reportedly worth 1 million dollars a year for five years. NBC, which had paid her over 400 thousand annually, calls the bidding process unseemly and cites her plans for a multimillion dollar specials deal as the motive. Walters began at NBC in 1961 as a staff writer, and Harry Reasoner will partner with her, with billing to be arranged.

Port petitions push to dissolve SAD 71 and split Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport selectmen expect a May referendum on dissolving SAD 71 with petitions carrying 26 signatures now and targets exceeding 600. Petitioners led by Whitin and Bilderback argue high costs and loss of local control justify a split with Kennebunkport handling elementary and junior high locally while high school students attend area schools on state tuition. The effort, pending a two thirds town vote locally and state certification, faces legal and financial hurdles including bonds and potential parallel referenda in both towns.
