Letter: Smith, Groban for Yarmouth schools
I hope Yarmouth residents will join me in voting to re-elect Judiann Smith and electing Margaret Groban to the School Committee. For the past three years I’ve sat beside Smith on the School Committee and marveled at her knowledge on the issues. Judiann always has a thoughtful, informed opinion. She is mindful of the costs […]
Letter: SAD 51 should close Drowne Road School
SAD 51 would like to close the Drowne Road School and save the taxpayers of Cumberland and North Yarmouth $245,000 in operational costs from the 2011-2012 budget. Please vote yes on June 14.

Letter: Question 1 speaks to Falmouth's heart

My mom was the assistant librarian at Plummer-Motz, and many community members were involved in building the outdoor classroom there, in her memory. So I have a lot of emotion invested in this town. I believe in […]

Her hard work and dedication has earned my support […]
