ACAP Lobbies in Presque Isle & Houlton set to Open
The Aroostook County Action Program (ACAP) announced on Monday that the lobbies at the Presque Isle (Main Street Location) and Houlton locations will be open to the public beginning Tuesday April 20th. In a weekly briefing issued to the public, ACAP cited the increasing number of Covid-19 vaccinations in Aroostook County as one reason to reopen the facilities to the public. Additionally, a building modification to the Presque Isle location will be completed soon and will allow those visiting to properly follow the new protocols.
There is no change at this time for the remaining ACAP facilities in Fort Kent, Madawaska, and Dyer Brook. Also, the Gouldville, PIRCTC, Hope and Prosperity Resource Center in Presque Isle, as well as the Early Care and Education Classrooms at Military Street and Region 2 in Houlton will see no changes in operations at this time.
Deadline to apply for St. Clair City Council vacancy in Ward 2 April 16
Port Huron Times Herald
St. Clair officials are expected to fill a vacancy left by a departing City Council member later this month, but interested applicants still have a few more days to apply.
Tom McCartney is resigning after starting his tenure on council and other city boards in 2010.
“You could never accuse him of not being hard-working,” Mayor Bill Cedar said. “The guy served on everything from the cemetery (board), with recreation, the DDA, planning commission, the library commission.”
McCartney formally resigned from his Ward 2 seat last month with Monday marking his final meeting.

When the school voted to change the recommended names, Jeremiah Jeffries, a teacher and leader of the renaming committee, was elated.
“We are unapologetically going after white supremacy, white supremacist symbols, and making these changes that people have been demanding for years,” Jeffries said at the meeting.
A torrent of criticism erupted nationwide. Some local residents decried the renaming panel’s research, which relied in part on Wikipedia articles, and alleged the board did not adequately include community members in the process. Many within the school communities supported the panel’s efforts and celebrated the prospect of a host of new school names.
