Beagles, bees and turtles, oh my! Boothbay Region Elementary School (BRES) took a walk on the wild side this week with the “Wild About Reading” event for pre-K – fourth grade students. 

Each day, Boothbay Region High School (BRHS) senior Harriet McKane arrived at Burke's Island Farm with a goal. Her trainer, Amy Reny’s, new horse Crash needed to be broken in for riding, and she was going to help do it.  

Nick Erickson, who graduated from Boothbay Region High School in 2007, began his obsession with film as a child, was lucky enough to get some early filmmaking experience in high school and with the local channel 7, then completed his BA from Tulane University in communications and digital media production. In 2015, he received his Masters in Producing from the American Film Institute and began his professional media production career which now includes twelve films with associate, co-producer, or producer credits, as well as four other production management roles. “Summer Camp” is probably Nick’s most widely distributed film to date.
