I would like to thank all the good folks who helped me out while collecting votes for the Hospitality House during the Pop the Cause event.

As my time at the Wiscasset Middle School comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the students, teachers, staff, parents, relatives and community members for 41 memorable years.

On behalf of all involved in the Waldoboro Food Pantry, a big thank you for the donations we received from churches, community organizations, businesses, and individuals to help us reach the challenge offered by Good Shepherd Food Bank. Thanks to the generous support, we not only met, but exceeded, the $700 we needed to raise.

In response to articles and editorials in our local papers as of May 29, as one who spent many a baffling hour serving on the Wiscasset/Edgecomb Bypass Task Force, I cannot feel sympathetic to the business owners within the Historic Village area of the town of Wiscasset. A traffic light at the State Route 27 North intersection is by far the simplest, if not least expensive, way to keep traffic flow smooth through the town.

I was a visitor in your area during the last week of May. While there, I became ill and needed to be admitted to hospital.

A huge thank you is due to a generous woman who paid for a battery for my watch at Radio Shack. I had gone to John at Stars and he referred me to Radio Shack where the clerk could not undo the tiny screws. Back to John before he closed. He did get them out and kept them while back to Radio Shack I galloped.

This letter is to express my deepest concerns regarding the proposal to remove trees on the Chewonki Campground property in Wiscasset, potentially eliminating 23 of the 47 campground sites for airport expansion.

If you thought you heard a loud, collective groan earlier this week, you probably did.

The older we get, the more we are convinced Mom was right about everything. As we have learned over the years, tuck your shirt in, eat your vegetables, and stand up straight are all proven winners.

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, I was very upset last Thursday that I found an American Flag in the garbage can at Mike’s Place in Newcastle on Route 1. Whoever threw this flag away has no respect for our country.

As a parent I am very concerned about toxic chemicals in our everyday products that could have serious health effects on my children. We try to be careful consumers and limit our children’s exposure to harmful chemicals.

Sitting at the Clean Elections petition table on primary day offered some interesting discussions. Many people were grateful to be able to modify an existing law in order to obtain disclosures of the large out-of-state donors, who withhold disclosure of their donors.

While my husband and I were having lunch this fall, a lady with a red scarf arrived and came to our table. She said I looked so pretty and I should have the scarf and put it around my neck.

I was disturbed to read in The Lincoln County News the details of the Wiscasset Airport Master Plan under consideration by the Wiscasset’s Board of Selectmen.
