• Judge grants Eliot Cutler supervised internet access, probation hearing postponed (foxbangor.com) — A Hancock County judge in Ellsworth has allowed limited, supervised weekday internet access for convicted offender Eliot Cutler while postponing a decision on whether to revoke his probation. Cutler remains free on $10,000 bail, must continue treatment, and can only go online under supervision as prosecutors review electronic devices whose passwords he recently provided. 
• Honor Flight Maine trip began at birthplace of National Anthem (wabi.tv) — An Ellsworth native and Army veteran joined about 70 Maine veterans on an Honor Flight Maine visit to Fort McHenry, where the national anthem was inspired. Participants helped with a ceremonial flag change and reflected on the site’s powerful history. Organizers say sharing these experiences with fellow veterans deepens understanding, healing, and pride.
