The voters of Maine should write to U.S. Representatives Michaud and Pingree and to Senators Collins and King to urge them to vote “No” on President Obama’s resolution to attack Syria in response to its use of chemical weapons.
Angels
Early Monday morning we were hit by a lightning strike, which caused at least two electrical circuits to fail, three of our phones to die and a propane gas leak.
THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS
On Sept. 10 two of the biggest towns in Lincoln County will vote to settle budget matters left over from their June town meetings.
Newcastle Sign Ordinance Take Two
This past June at Newcastle’s annual town meeting, voters rejected a proposal to replace the current sign ordinance language with a more comprehensive, stand-alone sign ordinance. Objections to the proposal largely revolved around illuminated signs; however, there was general agreement that a new sign ordinance was needed.
Responsible Gun Use Is A Way Of Life
Beauty is more than skin deep, yet a good holster helps. Maine is one of the only places where a woman gets compliments for having a nice rack and she proudly points to the deer in her truck. She doesn’t get offended. She’s got a great holster. It’s easier to laugh about the small stuff when you’re prepared for the big stuff.
UNSOLUTION
If you have read all three pieces of Kim Fletcher’s review of the Affordable Care Act, the first phases of which kick in Oct. 1, then you about as ready as anyone for the future to get here.
I Have Been Blessed
As I get ready to begin my retirement from education, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the wonderful people of MSAD/RSU 40.
Dedicated To Doing Customers Right
About four weeks ago I prepaid $60 for gas at Newcastle Maritime Farms. I pumped $51 worth of gas before my tank filled. I then got in my car and drove away without collecting the $9 of change.
This Is The Way Democracy Works
I feel compelled to respond to the Aug. 22 Letter to the Editor in the LCN, “Waldoboro Budget Cuts”, written by Bob Butler. First, I would like to say I am disappointed in the finger pointing at three select board members by Mr. Butler.
The Community School
Often our local K-8 school is referred to as “Great Salt Bay” or “GSB”. The official name is Great Salt Bay Community School. Shortening the name, as we all do, omits the word “community.”
FIRST FIRSTS
Schools open this week. In short order, we will all be back in our familiar fall routines. Some of us focus on getting the kids out the door in the morning, and others are mainly concerned about avoiding school buses during the morning commute.
Cheers for Ron
Traveling up and down Bunker Hill Road is an experience I love in any season. Thoughtless, selfish and disrespectful individuals who toss their trash and then continue down the beautiful road would do well to heed the long arm (hopefully now washed) and eagle eye of Ron Jones.
Deeply Disappointed
My name is Emma Solorzano. I am an 8th grader at Jefferson Village School. I am writing this letter because after hearing all the information from my mother who attended the town meetings, I was deeply disappointed in the town’s decision to cut $240,000 from the school budget.
CAST LOOSE THE LINES
Twelve Maine Republicans resigned their party positions and un-enrolled from their party this week with a dramatic flourish, sending a letter to the Maine GOP that made the press.
