Northern Lights Grooming goes mobile
HOLDEN - Business is rolling, in more ways than one, at Northern Lights Grooming. That's because owner Debra Plourde is now going mobile with her dog grooming business.
"Mobile is up and coming and is really the way to go now," Plourde said. "It's convenient for people. It's a lot less stressful on the animal and it's quicker than being in a shop."

Winterport’s ‘Smooth Criminals’ place drama Destination ImagiNation, head to nationals
WINTERPORT – The Smooth Criminals recently placed second in the State Championship of Destination ImagiNation, a multi-school competition that challenges students in various categories of learning, from science and engineering to writing and drama.
The Smooth Criminals, who are made up of Carly, Johannah, Gracie, Megan, Renee and Kelsea, took second place for the drama category after they conceived a plot, assigned roles and acted out (with no dialogue) a short play for judges. Certain criteria had to be met, including the theme, which was disguise, and had to include a fancy mask and a mask that morphs (changes shape) – all without input from the adults.
