New town manager and police chief in Kittery

The New Year will bring a pair of new town leaders to Kittery, Maine. Bob Markel takes over as town manager and Paul Callaghan as police chief on Jan. 3.

Markel, the former town manager of Ipswich, Mass., replaces interim manager James Ashe, who has been serving in place of former manager Jonathan Carter for the last two months. Carter resigned his post in September after six years in Kittery to become town manager of Wells, Maine. 

Callaghan, a captain with the Rochester Police Department, will take over for current Kittery police chief Edward Strong, who is retiring at the end of the month after more than 30 years on the force.
