Edgecomb selectmen will hold an executive session Jan. 18 to discuss the possible sale of two Lallis property parcels. On Jan. 11, Selectman Mike Smith told other board members a possible sales agreement could occur. Local realtor Clayton Pottle approached the board last fall about buying a portion of the Lallis property. Negotiations were interrupted due to uncertainty over how the sale would impact the River-Link Trail which runs through it. Smith reported former Schmid Preserve Committee Member Bob Leone has identified a possible alternate trail route which would enable a sales agreement. “We have received a purchase and sales agreement from an interested party. We need to hold an executive session to discuss it, and possibly have a conversation about the remaining parcel’s potential,” he said.

For the second year in a row, Edgecomb will hold a referendum-style town meeting vote instead of a traditional in-person setting. In 2020, selectmen first delayed their annual May town meeting, and eventually held a referendum vote in August due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On Dec. 28, selectmen voted 2-1 to hold a referendum town meeting on May 22 due to rising coronavirus cases in Maine and nationwide. Selectmen Mike Smith and Ted Hugger supported the change. New board member Dawn Murray opposed the decision believing a sensible solution to an open town meeting format could be found. She proposed either a Zoom conference or holding an outside meeting.

Given it s the year that China asserted full control of Hong Kong (23 years into a 50 year agreement), a little focus on the Baluchistan area of Pakistan.
It s become an economic zone (it has natural respurces for export), one handed off to China for exploitation. Now a port is Chinese controlled and is being fenced off from the wider region. A bit like Hong Kong in its 1897-1997 phase.
Formerly the Pakistan government kidnapped local nationalists. Now in Sweden and a few days ago in Canada Baluchi nationalists in exile have drowned.

73 of an intake of 1200 cadets at West Point cheat in a calculus online exam. That s 6%.
Wikipedia says Candidates for admission must apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a member of Congress. Other nomination sources include the president and vice president ! The academic program grants a bachelor of science degree. Cadets are required to adhere to the Cadet Honor Code, which states that a cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United States Military Academy
The worst scandal in 45 years!
I wonder how many of these cheats debasing university qualifications and heading for high office in the US military were nominated by Republicans, and how many by Democrats?
