A 2011-2012 Cape Courier series by Ellen Van Fleet follows the development of the Civil War through the eyes of people who lived in Cape Elizabeth 150 years ago. Cape Elizabeth author Paul J. Ledman’s book, “A Maine Town Responds,” is the main guide. Small en- tries in the Courier capture the news and concerns as events unfolding outside of Cape Elizabeth thrust their way into the local consciousness. News items from the Edward I. Woodbury Portland Transcript are printed verbatim.

Once again, thousands of feet will pound the pavement in Cape Elizabeth in early August, and for more than a few of the run- ners, the route from Crescent Beach State Park to Fort Williams will be very familiar territory. For the 15th running of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race on Aug. 4, roughly 860 of the 6,000 participants registered are from Cape Elizabeth. Residents also make up a signifi cant number of the volunteers for the event; some families host the elite international runners and the town provides a multi- tude of services to make sure the race goes smoothly. “The community support here is just phenomenal.
