My mother taught me to write thank you letters, usually for a gift received. This is also a thank you letter for a gift received from my community.
POTHOLE COLLECTION
If the matter weren’t so serious, the prospect of little Bremen standing up to the State of Maine over the maintenance of Route 32 might be amusing.
The Gravel Truck Issue is Back
The gravel truck issue is back! Unfortunately, the glaciers piled gravel north of the Boothbay and Pemaquid peninsulas, so gravel will be trucked from Whitefield to both areas.
Each town on the way needs to deal with that traffic.
THANK YOU, KAREN
She isn’t mentioned in our front page story, but everybody in favor of buying local, eating healthy foods, and doing something in the best interests of children, owes a big debt of gratitude to Karen Kleinkopf.
VITAL WORK
We have said in this very space that town meetings are democracy on the hoof and it is the duty of every citizen to inform themselves and participate. Democracy is decided by those who show up.
Wonderful Job
On a trip to Brunswick last week, I could not locate a parking space without driving and then walking the length of the Main Street business district. The streets needed grooming, but the sidewalks were treacherous!
Investing In The Future
In 2014, I’m looking forward to working on a number of measures that will help the people of Maine. In order for Maine to have a bright future, we need to make sure our students have a bright education.
GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEED
Two hundred ninety-one Wiscasset voters participated yesterday, in what some locals called going in, the most important election in Wiscasset history.
SO WE DISAGREE, NOW WHAT?
Newcastle chef, author (and the LCN editor’s wife) Cynthia Finnemore Simonds was doing a cooking demonstration at the Maine Agriculture Trades Show Jan. 8 when she ran into Gov. Paul LePage.
A tough, independent, but unrealistic stance
A week ago Sunday, in the slush on Route 220, my Subaru drifted to the right, then described a slow arc left across the empty (thanks, guardian angel!) road, down an embankment and into a tree. After 50-some years of driving on snow and ice without any problem, I couldn’t have been more incredulous if it had taken wing.
Stay Tuned
I am a very new member of the Nobleboro Budget Committee, and we just concluded four Monday evening meetings reviewing every budget item, from the removal of three trees to the multi-page – and amazingly complex – school budget.
Amazing Once Again
The holidays have come and gone and the people of Waldoboro have been amazing once again! As always, I feel very privileged to be part of such a wonderful and generous event. This year’s Waldoboro Toy Program went very well, with a lot of help from a lot of you.
Nothing Short of A Miracle
After attending a very informative town manager search meeting I realize Wiscasset is looking for nothing short of a miracle in our next town manager.
High Time For Some Reality
I am responding to Senator Chris Johnson’s comments in the Jan. 16 issue of this newspaper.
