Celebrate Women s History Month with the best movies directed by women from the past 20 years: The films that entertained, transported us, and broke new ground.
There were 55 responses to this weekâs Tele-Talk question: âShould the town be doing more to save its Revolutionary War-era buildings?â The responses were overwhelming in support of saving historic buildings.
Historic buildings are a big factor in what gives a town its character and personality. But, of course, the buildings have to be maintained and/or adapted to accommodate modern use, otherwise they lose their relevance and become endangered. It was a labor of love â and costly â to renovate the Bolduc Block and The Majestic Theatre, but Conway Village is visually and economically better off for it having been saved, and it still looks like Conway instead of Anytown, USA.

Backgrounded by the Alpena County Courthouse, a “For Sale” sign stands in the lot where one of two medical marijuana shops is scheduled to be built. Progress on the shops may be halted by a motion filed by a lawsuit filed against the City of Alpena.
ALPENA At least another week is needed before Alpena city officials will know if they can proceed with their plan to establish two medical marijuana provisioning centers in Alpena.
In court on Wednesday, 26th Circuit Court Judge Ed Black heard arguments from Sean Gallagher, attorney for Alpena businessman Bob Currier, who asked Black to prevent the city from moving forward with the development of the two businesses while the court addresses a lawsuit filed by Currier.

ALPENA One of the applicants for a medical marijuana provisioning center in Alpena has sued the city, accusing officials of violating the Michigan Open Meetings Act and failing to follow the city’s own rules in deciding who could open such businesses.
Bob Currier, of Neighborhood Provisions, Currier LLC, and Katherine Schultz, a personal friend of the Currier family, filed the lawsuit against City Manager Rachel Smolinski, Building Official Don Gilmet, and Northeast Michigan Council of Governments Deputy Director Denise Clines, all of whom were involved in the application scoring.
In court documents obtained by The News on Tuesday, the plaintiffs claim the city violated Michigan’s Open Meetings Act when a committee reviewed and scored the licensing applications because that wasn’t done in an open meeting. The filings also claim the city allowed several applicants to pay deposits after the deadline for payments had passed.
