While sitting at a local coffee shop here in South Bristol on Sunday morning reading the Sunday paper I was stunned to find a letter to the paper stating that the State of Maine has wasted time and money on the design of our new bridge.
CHOICE AND CONSEQUENCES
Next week, on Sept. 11, choices presented at two special town meetings, each present real consequences in the towns of Waldoboro and Wiscasset.
Damariscotta Can Stand On Its Own
I find it very disturbing, after going to a selectmen’s meeting that was held to consider changing wording in the town charter to authorize the town to be able to go outside the Town of Damariscotta to look for other people to police our town.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD
Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s week started badly Sunday when a blistering review of the inner workings of his campaign was posted on the website Politico.com.
On The Closing Of Cottage Gardens
I’m sure that all gardeners and lovers of flowers- and surely there’s no one who doesn’t belong to at least one of those groups- are as sad as I am to see the “For Sale” sign in front of Cottage Gardens.
Legislation Whose Time Has Come
Our volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel are inadequately protected by the Maine Workmen’s Compensation (WC) law. The State allows the Maine Municipal Association (MMA) , the State’s largest WC carrier for our volunteers, to exclude coverage when responding to an emergency until they reach a main road.
CARRY THAT WEIGHT
How many times yesterday did you remember it was an anniversary day?
Life Will Go On
An article recently published in another newspaper within the last couple of weeks tells of a bridge design that will devastate the character of an otherwise beautiful New England town. We are once again talking about the South Bristol swing bridge.
Once A Spender Always A Spender
Barrack Obama, you spend too much. We cannot afford a president that spends like you do.
Mildly Disheveled
To the Editor:
We, the tenants of historic Lincoln Hall, want to say a hearty thank you to all the emergency responders, starting with Damariscotta Fire Chief Neil Genthner, the fire department and the police who rushed to Lincoln Theater in the early hours of last Friday morning in response to a call from North East Security alerting them to the fact a fire sprinkler had been activated.
Thank Goodness
To the Editor:
On June 13, I was visiting Damariscotta, on a very rainy day, to celebrate my sister’s birthday.
TIME’S A WASTING
We always find August to be a somewhat bittersweet time.
It’s still summer. We still have plenty of cookouts and beach days and dog days ahead, but we can see Labor Day from here. Shortly after that, fall arrives: the next most beautiful time of the year to live here.
Had To Make A Change
Being a retired pharmacist, I have always tried to steer my business to independent pharmacies.
Thanks To South Bristol Fire Dept.
Friday evening during the worst of the thunder storm, we had just crossed the swing bridge and were passing Harborside Café when the top of a large tree crashed across the road in front of us.
