NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Public Arts Commissioner Bryan Sapienza was voted 5-3 onto the nine-member City Council on Tuesday. Sapienza replaces Paul Hopkins, council president,.
The council on Tuesday voted to solicit interest in filling the seat left vacant on the nine-person council by the resignation of President Paul Hopkins last week. Hopkins stepped down because he is moving out of the area. The last two vacancies had been filled by the 10th candidate on the ballot, a move that Councilor Wayne Wilkinson advocated for. I m a firm believer that person that is on City Council should have been voted by the people, he said. I know in the past that we ve asked letters of interest, and that the council then gets together and goes over those letters of interest. The bottom line is, some of those people nobody ever voted for.

Middle school students donate items to shelter
Students at Middle School of the Kennebunks recently collected thousands of items for York County Shelter Programs. The project, organized by the seventh-grade Sebago Team, promoted community service among students, who gave 2,334 pairs of socks and 387 bottles of shampoo and conditioner in one of the largest donations ever received by the nonprofit from a school.
“I am so proud of our grade 7 Sebago students and staff for their efforts on this project,” said MSK Principal Marty Bouchard. “Awareness of the needs within our communities and world are a part of our curriculum at MSK, and the kindness and selflessness shown by these students is truly inspiring.”
