YORK, Maine Although the Long Sands Beach seawall took a beating during last week’s storm, Town Manager Steve Burns said the new barrier held up well.
“You could really see the difference,” Burns said, describing how the storm surge beat down on the new construction, with little or no ill effect.
That was the good news.
How the repair project will be paid for continues to cause concern.
Triggered by massive storms in 2017 and 2018, the seawall repairs are expected to cost several million dollars. As previously reported, Director of Public Works Dean Lessard had anticipated most of the cost would be reimbursed by state and federal funds; however, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has still not authorized payments.
Let Me Tell You About the Time I Almost Died in The Forks, Maine

What a beautiful shot, right? Actually, if you want to see some great pictures from around Maine, Susannah routinely posts amazing shots in that group. But anyway, in her caption for it, she explains that it was taken in The Forks, Maine. A place that I have a very interesting history with.
Because 7 years ago, I almost died there. Yet still had one of the best weekends of my life.
Back in 2013, my cousin Pat (who is more like my brother since we basically grew up in the same crib together since both sets of our parents used to babysit us so much) proposed to his now-wife Ashley while they were in Ireland. Which is honestly a funny story in itself, because FROM IRELAND, Pat sends me a text that read, I m officially off the market.
