Please consider voting for Valentine Sheldon on June 11 for Falmouth Town Council. Valentine has a deep appreciation for the history of Falmouth and, with two young children in the school system, he is vested in the future of this wonderful community. He has delved deep into the consequences of recent zoning changes and, as […]

I urge my fellow Falmouth citizens to join me in voting for Valentine Sheldon for Town Council. Valentine and his family moved here several years ago, attracted by the many wonderful qualities that have made Falmouth such a desirable community. He has been fully engaged of late working to reform what many feel was a […]

I am thrilled to see that a small business owner is running for the state Legislature in House District 45. Kevin “KC” Hughes has been a small business owner for 35 years. He understands how to make payroll, solve problems, and knows you can’t spend money you don’t have. As a representative in Augusta, he […]

Welcome to another edition of Boos and Bravos, the quick-hit, catch-all column of Here’s Something: BOO to the Portland City Council, which says it’s trying to penny-pinch while developing the new budget, but never loses a chance to gouge the helpless property taxpayer.

I’ll be voting for Janice de Lima, Tommy Johnson and Jay Trickett in the June election for the Falmouth Town Council. Author Dr. Stephen Covey coined the phrase “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” It’s a sound practice. Understanding Falmouth’s needs is gained by participating in town committees and actively volunteering in service […]

Janice is a valued member of the Falmouth Historical Society and served well on the society’s board from 2008-2012, when I served as president. Janice will be a great asset to the Town Council. She understands the importance of green spaces and trails […]

I would like to publicly endorse Valentine Sheldon for Falmouth Town Council. I first met Valentine in March, when Homestead Acres had their site plan review at the property. Not only did Valentine attend and ask valuable questions because of his concerns for our community, but he also did it on his own time as […]

I settled in Falmouth in 2010. I relish the “small-town” feel and sense of community that Falmouth offers. I value the dichotomy between Falmouth’s Route 1 commercial corridor and the beautiful, bountiful expanse of western Falmouth. I appreciate Falmouth’s accessibility to Portland’s urban district. I am naturally concerned that current town leaders, senior town managers […]

I am writing to give my enthusiastic support to Democrat Steve Moriarty, who is running for state representative in the House District 45 special election on June 11. Steve has served the Cumberland community for decades on the Town Council, the Planning Board, and in the House of Representatives. He has brought integrity and dedication […]

This election isn’t just about Falmouth’s land-use policy. It’s about the future of Falmouth. As a lifelong resident, I am voting for the individual who embodies positive change, transparency and has a resident-centric focus so the right land-use policies will be put in place. The individual who has my vote has clearly and publicly stated […]
