Orono High principal named new Union 93 superintendent
BLUE HILL
Union 93 includes the towns of Blue Hill, Surry, Penobscot, Castine and Brooksville.
Reg Ruhlin will replace Mark Hurvitt, who is retiring effective July 1.
The Union 93 Board voted unanimously to hire Ruhlin at its meeting Monday at the Penobscot Elementary School.
Ruhlin is currently principal of Orono High School.
“I’m really interested in the school union organization,” said Ruhlin. That includes the “really community-centered schools in each of the five towns.”
During the interview process, the people involved, including principals, parents and others, “felt really warm, welcoming and committed,” he said.
Lights Parade Saturday: Penobscot to Stonington.
Usually a parade route is set. Mostly in a town. And we travel from home to the parade route, line up and watch the parade. But not during the pandemic. That s so non 2020. This parade will come to you, or at least drive by you.
An organization that works with people in need from 10 different towns is bringing a little holiday spirt to their communities. Community Compass based in Blue Hill, will hold a Festival of Lights automobile Parade this Saturday. The dozens and dozens of cars and trucks, and hopefully more, will be decorated and will begin the parade at about 3:30 Saturday the 19th from Penobscot Elementary School. The parade will travel through Sedgwick and onto Deer Isle and Stonington, and end 38 miles later at the Island Community Center.
