March 2 at 2PM, LD 2001 - An Act To Fund and Support the Veterans Homes in Caribou and Machias and Require Legislative Approval for the Establishment and Closure of Veterans Homes
Please submit your testimony in Support of this Bill by using the link below:
The University of Maine at Machias announced today it has rescinded an offer of employment to Coach Kevin Mahlan, formerly of Carl Sandburg College. Mahlan previously received an offer to come to UMM to take over as men's soccer coach.
Coach Mahlan's stepped down as Men's Soccer Coach at Carl Sandburg College after complaints of racial insensitivity.
UMM's statement is below:
As we have become aware of Coach Mahlan's circumstances at Carl Sandburg College, it has become clear that it is going to be difficult for him or the program to be successful at UMM. Therefore, we have made the decision to rescind the offer.
Jonesport's largest employer announced its closure last week and Nancy Beal have all the coverage, Washington County's Teacher of the Year advances to state semifinals, Charles Lightner reviews Sarah Graves' latest book, and Valdine Atwood takes us through all six of the O'Briens in her column "Downeast Yesterdays."
All that, and two pages of pictures from the most successful Margaretta Days to date.
All the home news, on newsstands today.
The missing Litchfield woman was located this afternoon, driving her car in Southwest Harbor. The local police department found her and brought her to a hospital to be checked out.
A community paper serving local communities since 1852.
