Recent complaints about the poaching of deer in Eastport have again raised concerns about abuses by some bow-hunters in the city. During the wind storm on the evening of October 11, Jana Sutherland says she noticed lights in the trees at the edge of her yard on McKinley Street.

For the first time, two women are leading the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Sipayik, with Marla Dana being the first elected female chief and Elizabeth "Maggie" Dana having been reelected vice chief in the September 18 election.

The Pleasant Point Health Center (PPHC) did not meet a number of federal and tribal health and safety requirements for quality of care during the period from 2014 through 2016, according to a report issued in July by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General.

The first elected female Passamaquoddy chief will begin her four-year term on October 1. In the September 18 general election at Sipayik, Marla Dana received 205 votes, defeating by a 21-vote margin Colleen Dana-Cummings, who received 184.
