Good morning:
There’s lots going on Downeast this week — we’ve been following the possible sale of the Calais armory since early this year and were able to confirm that the Maine National Guard has sent a formal request to the Attorney General’s Office to divest the armory. We talked with Calais City Manager Mike Ellis about what this opportunity might mean for the city.
We also talked with Calais School District administrators this week about a digital hall pass app they’re testing at the high school, and have a preview of Tuesday’s school budget vote in Beals.
We also have a story about a discussion of the Eastport City Council about the proposed DeepGreen data center and how city officials feel about the proposal. It’s a topic of high interest to readers across the state, and we’ll continue to follow the issue.
Did you know you can fish for free this weekend? The weather isn't looking great, but fishing is often better in the rain anyway.
Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife holds these occasional free fishing weekends to encourage people who have never fished to wet a line, but just because the fishing is free doesn’t make it a free-for-all. Anglers still have to follow Maine’s fishing regulations and laws (and there’s no fishing for those with a suspended or revoked license). If you don’t know the local regs, there’s an app for that.
So, get out there and have fun.
