BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Camden National Bank announced Thursday a statewide program to discuss the topic of homelessness in Maine and provide support to help the more than 7,500 individuals, children, and families in the state without a home.

In 2015, through the Hope@Home program, Camden National Bank will donate $100 for every new home it finances to a homeless shelter in the community of the new homeowner.

"Homelessness is a growing issue in our state, and we believe it is time to help our neighbors in need. A home provides a lot more than shelter; it provides dignity, purpose, and hope. At Camden National Bank, we wanted to find a way to support all of the great organizations in our state already working on this issue," said Dufour. "Hope@Home is just one way we can help."

BANGOR, Maine (AP) -- A Bangor woman has been sent to prison for more than three years for her role in the distribution of the drug known as bath salts.

Federal prosecutors say 26-year-old Elizabeth Mikotowicz was sentenced Tuesday to three years and one month in prison and three years of probation.

She pleaded guilty in May to a charge of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute bath salts, also known as MDPV.

According to court records, between April and December 2011, she distributed the drug in Penobscot County and elsewhere.

Mikotowicz is one of eighteen defendants who pleaded guilty to conspiring with Ryan Ellis to distribute the drug. Ellis previously pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
