Big Plans at the Mill
Local businessmen Isaac Ellowitz and Justin Graves and a third partner, Brian Weyland, have added a new title to their resumes: landlords. Under the banner of their new company, D-List, LLC, the trio have purchased the historic mill at 72 Emery Street in Sanford and have big goals in mind - and a timetable by which they are hoping to meet them.

Jill Sidebotham, 28, of Springvale, and her daughter, Lydia, were expected home from a camping trip by Thursday, June 30, just in time to celebrate the Fourth in Sanford. With the exception of a sighting of them at a Walmart in Mexico, Maine, on July 2, they and Sidebotham's ex-boyfriend have not been seen since. Police are asking for the public's help in locating Sidebotham and her daughter.

My column in this week's Coast Star is dedicated to all you fans of the flicks out there.
