We almost made it all the way through this election season with very little in the way of vandalism to political signs, but it seems our luck has run out with barely three weeks to go until the election.
Sticking To the Facts
I am writing concerning Question 1 (the bear referendum). First off there are a lot of things not being said. When this all started the yes side said openly that the main reason they are back is that they hope enough people from out of state had moved here in the last 10 years so they could win this time.
THAT HAPPENED
It’s no secret that in the eight years since it was founded, the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest & Regatta has grown as fast as one of those giant Atlantic monsters that serve as the festival’s centerpiece.
Write In Catherine H. Moore
The Lincoln County voters have elected me every four years as register of probate since 1987. I am asking that you write in Catherine H. Moore as register of probate on Nov. 4.
Vote ‘No’ On Question 1
I am of the school of thought that believes if you don’t like something, don’t do it. It is a simple philosophy and easily followed. This leads me to Question 1, the bear referendum.
Corporate Compassion
Two weeks ago I complained in this paper of the ersatz lighthouse behind Damariscotta’s Salt Bay CafĂ© that bathed my bedroom with the light of 1000 candles. I didn’t expect anything to come of this, but my concern, supported by the proprietress of the neighboring yarn shop, reached all the way to the eyrie of CMP corporate headquarters.
We Have To Have a Change
Based solely on the Maine economy, we have to have a change in the governorship of the great state of Maine. The present head of state has been in office long enough to improve the economic conditions in Maine, but he has demonstrated no viable, comprehensive and effective growth strategy.
Not True Sportsmanship
I’ve been a big-game hunter for over 40 years, with trophies to prove it, and I’ve guided many successful hunts: no animals were ever taken by baiting or disabling leg-traps.
Where Is The Comparable Effort?
U.S., state, and municipal health authorities are working overtime and spending millions of dollars to stem the spread of Ebola, which has killed just one person here.
Don’t Be Cowards
It is a sad state of affairs when a person[s] drive onto private property in the middle of the night to deface a political sign with an unprintable word on one side and ‘stupid’ on the other, and steal almost all of the remaining signs. The defaced sign was apparently too large steal.
TEAM ORANGE
All through this week and winding up on Monday, pumpkin enthusiasts far and wide will descend on the Twin Villages for all things pumpkin.
Wiscasset Has a Problem
Wiscasset has a problem. The voters decided we were better off leaving the RSU than staying in. This left Wiscasset supporting a three school system with a dwindling student population. In order to support the school system, Wiscasset paid through the nose last year because there was not sufficient time to study our best options to control costs: quite understandable.
Thank You All
The Nobleboro Historical Society’s AppleFest Committee wants to thank all the folks who came to AppleFest last Saturday and the many community organizations and people who donated and helped to make the ninth revival another wonderful success.
An Environmental Atrocity Has Already Happened
I attended the special town meeting in the town of Bristol on Oct. 1. The purpose of the meeting was to vote on a non-binding resolution that would allow a cable from experimental wind turbines off Monhegan to cross prime fishing grounds and come ashore in New Harbor.
