To the Editor:

Olde Bristol Days would not have been as successful as it was this year without the hard work and dedication of Bristol Parks Commissioner Gordon Benner.

To the Editor:

It has been a while since the LCN has published a letter to the Editor concerning Rt. 1 traffic going through Wiscasset.

We have been watching this tempest about the proposal to build a mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan with some bemusement.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Wiscasset Plaza, which includes Lil’ Mart, McDonald’s and First Federal Savings, was held Fri., Aug. 6. Some consider the plaza an eyesore; others a needed increase to our tax base and still others a welcomed convenience.

This summer my life has been dramatically changed by a serious illness. It has been both alarming and disheartening.

This weekend thousands of men, women and children will flock to the grounds of Colonial Pemaquid for the Olde Bristol Days celebration. There will be face painting and food serving, vendors vending, children playing and music in the air.

The strains of the music, the roar of the crowd, you know what that is, really? That’s what the business part of show business sounds like.

Last week, my mother and I were driving up Rt. 1 on our way to Rockport. Neither of us had managed to eat lunch before hitting the road, so by three o’clock our stomachs were growling.

The family of Amber Golden wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who donated money to the Amber Golden fund at the 1st Bank in Wiscasset. Amber was in a car accident on June 6. She has had five surgeries, spending 10 days in the ICU and an additional week in the Barbara Bush Unit at Maine Medical Center. She is now at home but with many months ahead to full recovery.

One of the most popular pictures this newspaper has ever printed is a shot taken near the Lincoln Home looking out over the river as the moon rises over Damariscotta.

As a long time supporter of Skidompha, I was surprised and disappointed to learn of the Azula Jewelry Sale, supposedly to benefit our library. When I recall all the many interesting and remunerative events sponsored by our own local “Stars” for the library, I am annoyed that none of our Damariscotta jewelers were considered or at least invited to participate.

I would like to respond to a letter titled “The place visitors want to avoid.”

When it comes to taking in a good dose of earth-shaking motorcycles and ear-splitting concerts, we would much rather go into somebody else’s backyard and have our good time there.

Whether intentional or not there has been some mighty unconstitutional statutes passed by our legislature. They, as most government officials at that level, have an oath to God to uphold the Constitution of the State of Maine.
