CARIBOU, Maine — The Aroostook County Community Guided Planning and Zoning Steering Committee met last Wednesday night to hear input from the public on their plan to create a new development subdistrict in the unorganized and deorganized areas of Aroostook County.
The barking of a dog, the laughter of children playing in the yard, and the sound of an early morning lawn mower are just a few elements that create the soundtrack of a suburban neighborhood. When the Caribou police department receives a complaint, even something as trivial as a noise complaint, they make an effort to respond, but this puts a strain on the city’s resources.
The Southern Aroostook Cultural Arts Project (SACAP), 66 Main Street in Houlton, will host an art talk and book signing at 7 p.m., Friday, July 17, by Belfast artist David Estey for his new humorous, illustrated memoir “Whoop and Drive ’er! – Growing Up in Aroostook County, Maine.”
