We wouldn’t blame the Alna Board of Selectmen if they decided to resign en masse following Monday night’s special town meeting. Not that they would, but if they asked, we would advise against it.
Balanced Budget – A Child Can Do It
It is true that a child can balance the federal budget. It is a simple mathematical problem. Here is what we need, here is what we have, and subtracting what we have from what we need gives us the revenue gap.
YOUR ATTENDANCE IS ENCOURAGED
Next Thursday, Aug. 28, at 6 p.m., the Wiscasset School Board will consider what is, without exaggeration, one of the biggest decisions this specific board will ever make, the question of closing one of the town’s three school facilities.
A Very Special Community
The members of the North Nobleboro Community Association wish to thank every merchant who generously gave merchandise or gift certificates in support of the 42nd annual North Nobleboro Day. With their support and with the enthusiastic attendance of community members, we were able to have another successful and fun-filled day!
Admiration
I am writing to express admiration for the emergency response teams in Lincoln County.
Hoping for Slack
Every summer for almost two decades we have enjoyed coming to my in-laws summer cottage off River Road in Edgecomb. (Yes, newcomer summer guests in your eyes!)
HAVE YOU HUGGED A VOLUNTEER LATELY?
We are delighted to read of the volunteer effort to save the Somerville’s aging veterans memorial this week.
COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA
This week we have the unfortunate task of reporting the deaths of three teenagers in two separate accidents in Boothbay and Waldoboro. One accident or the other seems to come up in almost every conversation we have had or have heard over the past week.
Like you, we have heard the talk.
The Way Life Should Be
I will admit that organizing the community baby shower for Jada and Ryan was not totally altruistic.
Success
The Wells-Hussey American Legion Post in Damariscotta would like to thank all the people that stopped and donated to the toll booth last Saturday in front of the post. The fundraising effort was a success.
Jefferson’s Loss
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the voters of Jefferson. At the Aug. 19 school board meeting, two things of vital importance to Jefferson were destroyed. One was the possibility of having viable programs in art, music and physical education for the students of Jefferson.
Damariscotta Police Department Kitchen project
The Damariscotta Police Department Kitchen Project is $1,050 away from the fundraising total needed to construct a kitchen area at the department. This project was approved at the recent town meeting by the voters of Damariscotta.
STRAIGHT FACE TEST
We were surprised to learn the case against Philip Cohen wrapped up earlier this month in Cumberland County. Cohen, a prominent attorney from Waldoboro, was arrested last fall for an alleged domestic violence assault.
EVERY 94 MINUTES
Two weeks ago, the last time we revisited a subject in this space, we were a little flippant, for which we apologize. On the topic of people leaving dogs and kids in cars during summer, we said it was a stupid thing to do and advised against the practice of making stupid decisions.
