Jefferson is in the midst of a debate over the best way to educate our kids. We have heard from a number of people who think the school committee has broken a promise to voters about hiring certain teachers.
Might Someone Suggest
Even though I have lived in Manhattan for over a half a century, I still observe the “rule of the road” that I learned growing up in rural upstate New York some 70-odd years ago: “If you are walking on the road, walk to the left, facing the on-coming traffic.”
OPENING DAY
In the classic setting, the first day of school is accompanied by the peal of the school bells, calling delighted children back to their studies.
Examine All Possibilities
As a retired educator whose career was spent in public education, I understand the necessity for some level of fluidity in a school system budget. Needs arise and change as the year progresses, so the school committee, acting in concert with administration, is there to review, to manage and to approve school budget expenditures.
WHY GO THERE?
In early 2011, after the RSU 12 Board of Directors voted to “immediately” and “permanently” remove the term “Redskin” from any and all schools within the district, we said in this space it was the right decision, badly made.
House-Warming Get-Together
In January, 2013 our family lost our home on Bayview Road in Nobleboro to a fire. We have been displaced and struggling to get back on our feet for a year and a half now. We finally managed to find and purchase a home back in Nobleboro where we want to live.
Where the Dream Begins
Imagine the excitement of earning the title of Little League World Series Champions. We recently returned to Maine from a trip to Williamsport, Penn. to see who would take home the top prize in youth baseball. All the excitement brought back wonderful memories of my son’s own recent Lincoln Little League Championship game where his team, The Wheels, finished an undefeated perfect season and won it all.
The Signage Littering Formerly Green Spaces
As I drive around Lincoln County every day. I can’t help but notice the amount of political signage that litters formerly green spaces along the roads. As a former advertising researcher, I realize that the candidates for various offices are hoping to achieve name recognition when voters go to their polling places to cast their ballots.
Offensive
In case the majority of the members of the Wiscasset Board of Selectmen are not aware of it, the word “Redskin” is very offensive to many people, especially First Nation people. Although it would be difficult for these town leaders not to be aware of this fact because recently the town high school was requested to change the name of their mascot. This was accomplished by a vote of our former RSU 12 Board.
Defending Their Credibility as People
My name is Kristy and I am a resident of Jefferson. I’m also a mom of two children that go to the Jefferson Village School and my husband is on the school board.
BADLY PLAYED
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!
