Newcastle voters will have the opportunity to make some serious and important decisions regarding how Newcastle is governed and spends its hard earned tax dollars next Monday, March 30. The polls will open at the Newcastle Community Room at the Fire Station on River Rd at 10 a.m. and will close at 6 p.m.
A Newcastle Voter For Casey Stevens
I endorse Casey Stevens of Newcastle for Selectman.
Casey firmly believes that taxpayer dollars must be spent wisely and our town government must be truly transparent. Casey believes that Newcastle residents deserve a monthly accountability of funds spent by posting what is spent each month on the town’s web site and available as a handout at the town office.
The Soul Of Waldoboro
As a former Trustee of the Waldoboro Public Library, I wish to thank you for your excellent article in last week’s The Lincoln County News. All of us are very proud of our new library and the ever increasing use of this building.
No Thank You President Obama
Being an independent voter I followed your campaign very closely and came to the conclusion that I would support you if you were running for President of my college fraternity. Your charm and charisma would certainly attract an ample supply of ladies to our parties and your glib oratory would keep us from harms-way with college officials when we drifted into Animal House activities.
Help Themselves, Public Safety And Surrounding Communities
The time has come to do something about the bottleneck traffic situation in Wiscasset. It should and could be done now.
Smith For Alna Selectman
On Friday, March 20, we Alna residents will vote for town officers, including Second Selectman. I am running for Second Selectman because I want to keep taxes low, preserve Alna’s heritage, and put Alna online.
Veto Bremen Citizen Petitions Run Amok
Bremen’s Town Meeting is March 28. I urge all residents to attend and to vote against articles 51 and 52. Both are from citizen petitions run amuck. These are personal amendments, especially 52, that will affect all of Bremen, our future and for many, our livelihoods.
Yellowfront Is Not Closing
I would like to address some of the rumors that have been circulating around town lately.
First of all, Yellowfront Grocery is not closing. Second of all, we are not going bankrupt.
We Need Education Reform
I agree with President Obama on the desperate need for education reform.
As a former anti-union teacher, I wish him luck in taking on the unions and the education industry. We need to somehow reward good teachers (definitely not through their student’s performance on standardized tests), end tenure and fire bad teachers. We need to repeal No Child Left Behind and encourage charter schools.
It’s Not The Bus, It’s The Other Drivers
I am the owner of the Mediterranean Kitchen downtown. I was not able to get to the meeting last week.
I have a front row seat everyday to the bus. I see no problem with the bus stopping where it does now. I do see a problem with the rest of the drivers.
If people were more courteous and patient, the flow of traffic would be smoother.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
Right up there with, “you call that music?”, “now, that was real dancing!” and the classic “close that door, did you grow up in a barn?”, one of the most time honored parental refrains is “money doesn’t grow on trees.”
Deeply Appreciative Of Your Confidence
On Jan. 27, the voters of Jefferson showed their approval of the Alternative Organizational Structure (AOS) plan for the Lincoln County School System by an overwhelming margin.
A Note From Youth Promise
On behalf of everyone at Youth Promise, I would like to sincerely thank all the members of the Lincoln County community that supported and attended our show, Guys in Gowns, Feb. 7.
NO NEED TO PANIC
The water was likely still dripping through the ceiling at the Damariscotta Hannaford’s before rumors were flying around town.
Initial reports received here at The Lincoln County News office outlined a collapsed ceiling with people uninjured. The truth of the matter was far less dramatic. After workers discovered a problem, store officials determined there was a public safety issue and decided to close the store until the situation could be stabilized.
