Blue Angels Cmdr. Voss volunteered to be relieved of his duties because of a mistake at an air show on May 22 in Virginia. His resignation should give the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority pause to reconsider having the Blue Angels come to Brunswick in August. MRRA’s hyping the Blue Angels is contrary to its plans […]

The brief bio in last week’s edition did not paint a complete or entirely accurate picture. My partner is named Dick Sanford, not David. My daughter attended Yarmouth schools for seven years and graduated from Yarmouth High School. The nonprofit program I have been running teaches healthy relationship and communication skills to 9,000 high school […]

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to the parents, students, community members, and local businesses that so willingly and enthusiastically supported the Falmouth schools in significant ways last week. The Falmouth Education Foundation sponsored its sixth annual Spelling Bee. Elizabeth Klebe and her executive board, as well as other volunteers, again ran an […]

On June 14, the people of North Yarmouth and Pownal are invited and encouraged to cast their ballots for selectmen and School Board members. This is your opportunity to be a true participant in the democratic process. You have the choice of the people you want to lead your community and your school. If you […]

Falmouth voters have the opportunity on June 14 to elect a candidate for Town Council who is truly qualified and prepared to represent Falmouth. Speaking for all members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, it has been a pleasure working with Jonathan Berry and we value his contributions to the board. Jonathan has brought much […]

Wow, that was close. And fast. As part of its wholesale assault on anything or everything that might stand in the way of business doing whatever it darn pleases in Maine, the new Republican majority in Augusta drew a bead on the Land Use Regulation Commission last week. It proposed eliminating the body that has […]

My name is Jim MacLeod and I am running for Yarmouth Town Council. I am a Maine native, and I believe in the things that make Yarmouth such a special place to live.  For my family, it’s the sense of community, the village, and the schools. I think we would all agree that Yarmouth offers us […]

Falmouth has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a place for all to learn, gather, and grow – to build memories and community. As a mother of three, I cannot imagine not seizing it. We’ve spent countless hours at the library, reading, enjoying story hour, and doing puzzles. We’ve also actively participated in Falmouth Community Programs, […]
