AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- Gov. Paul LePage says his second Capitol for a Day will be this Friday in York County.

LePage will visit four businesses during the day and attend a town hall-style meeting in the evening at Thornton Academy in Saco, where he'll answer questions from the public.

LePage will start the day by unveiling a sign that says Maine's Open for Business on Interstate 95 on the northbound side of Interstate 95 in Kittery. The governor will visit the Eliot Commons Shopping Center, Shipyard Brewery, Stonewall Kitchen and other businesses.

The first Capitol for a Day event was held Feb. 18 in Cumberland County.

Build-it, Surf-it: Grain Surfboards of York, Maine celebrates over 1000 Wooden Surfboards built by their customers and students, as HomeGrown Surfboard Kits and during Grain Board-building Classes.

Grain Surfboards was founded when the owners had the inspiration to build their own surfboards rather than buy manufactured boards.  Feeling that the fun and challenge of building-your-own was too good to keep to themselves, they began offering DIY kits in 2006, and to hold classes at their shop in Maine in 2008.

Families use social media to check in on loved ones in Japan

Submitted by Around Town Web... on Saturday, March 12th, 2:13 pm

CAPE NEDDICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- For people here in the U.S. it was hard if not impossible to communicate with friends and loved ones in Japan after the earthquake. But in this age of ever increasing web based social media, checking in has never been easier.

Marc Bedard expected to have a relaxing day off from work. It has been anything but.

Marc got a phone call from a family member informing him that there had been an earthquake and tsunami centered around Tokyo. He said right away he thought of his brother, Anthony, who had been living there for the past twenty years.

Marc's first instinct was to try to call Anthony. While he was looking for the number, his daughter Alexandra Clingan was already on Facebook sending her uncle a message. It took about thirty minutes for Anthony to write back.

He was safe.

They say waiting for a response was the hardest part.
