Last Tuesday’s Music on the Green was Alan Cook sponsored by Calais and Machias H&R Block. Cook is a seasoned Music on the Green performer who plays something for everyone. Last Tuesday’s showers brought smaller than normal crowds to the concert but Cook was still able to get the crowd going with familiar songs and some requests from the crowd. Cook will be back again this summer as part of the Economy Studs.  (Photo by Kaileigh Deacon)

The three outside basketball courts in the city each received a much needed make-over last week, thanks to some of the city’s undesignated funds.

According to Parks and Recreation Director Craig Morrison, the project was initiated after upgrades to the Milltown court were needed.  “The court there needed to be redone, repaved, everything,” Morrison stated, adding, “It was in rough shape and we didn’t want it to get to the point where it would need to be completely rebuilt.”
