Cascade resident John W. Krumpotich finally settled his $1.85 million purchase of nearly 500 acres at the former Fort Ritchie military base on Wednesday.
The closing came a year and a day after it was originally scheduled, because of repeated court appeals from a Sabillasville, Md., businessman. I m just so excited to get started. . And so thankful for all the support we ve received from the community and the county, Krumpotich said Thursday.

KITTERY, Maine The six lawmakers who represent southern Maine and the Seacoast of New Hampshire in Congress voiced commitments Tuesday to advocate for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
In addition to providing an economic engine for the area, the shipyard is a vital piece of defense infrastructure that deserves continued investment, they said, as the administration of President Joe Biden settles in. We all understand how important the shipyard is both to our national security and to the Seacoast of both Maine and New Hampshire, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, said in an interview.
Although members of Congress have yet to see what priorities the Biden administration will include in its Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal, there is no known threat to PNSY funding, and there are no known discussions of a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) that could threaten the installation, Shaheen said.

Talk is cheap and seeing is believing. But anyone who viewed the aftermath of Hurricane Michael at Tyndall Air Force Base and the Panama City Marina 2½ years ago should be forgiven if they find two of this week’s major news stories hard to believe.

“It’s finally happening! read the headline on Thursday s front page over the story on the ground-breaking for the long-awaited $30M Panama City Marina hotel.
After Hurricane Michael essentially destroyed or rendered unusable just about anything useful at Tyndall, many residents and community leaders feared it might not be rebuilt. The base that had survived so many BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) exercises, was a major part of the county’s economy, and served as home to fighter jet training for the Air Forces’ best, was in danger.
