I have closely followed the process leading up to June’s referendum to move Falmouth’s library to a renovated Lunt school as part of the larger opportunity that includes a recreation center, Community Programs and a town green “connecting” both ends of the campus. Like a lot of my friends I am cautious and fiscally conservative. […]

I will be voting for Eydie Pryzant for Falmouth School Board. Eydie has been actively involved in all our schools for many years: elementary classroom volunteer, middle school library volunteer and High School PTO president among others. I became acquainted with Eydie when she led the fight against school consolidation to maintain Falmouth as an […]

The Plumber-Motz/Lunt campus referendum that will be on the Falmouth ballot on June 14 is the result of almost two years of work and includes many changes from its initial vision. What began as a $10 million project that included moving the Town Hall and a bond issue for $5 million now includes neither. This […]

As a current Falmouth School Board member, I am writing to support the re-election of Analiese Larson to the Falmouth School Board. Analiese Larson would return to the board as its most seasoned member. She has served as our finance chairwoman and as our vice chairwoman for the past two years, and she has been […]

As a former resident of Falmouth I wish to endorse Michael Doyle’s candidacy for the School Board. I worked with Mike for the Maine Handicapped Ski Program at Sunday River for several years. I have admired his work ethic, his honesty and his integrity, characteristics which will serve the town of Falmouth should he be […]

I am pleased to be running as a candidate for Falmouth School Board.  I have lived in Maine with my husband for 23 years where we have raised six children.  All of our children are graduates of the public school system and are diverse in abilities presenting unique challenges. The […]

I am a retired teacher after 37 years in the classroom. I graduated from Falmouth and my three children, all honor students, went through Falmouth schools. I’ve followed Michael Doyle’s efforts to get the taxpayers of Falmouth to think about and discuss how our tax dollars are spent in the school office. He has had […]

I believe that moving the Falmouth Memorial Library from its current location up the road to the Lunt School makes a great deal of sense. The town has seen many changes and many new people have moved here. The current location does not have sufficient room for the children, computers, meeting spaces, activities, and the […]

I would like to thank Scarborough Town Councilors Judith Roy, Michael Wood, Karen D’Andrea and Carol Rancourt for voting to ban smoking on Scarborough beaches. Also, a big thank you to Healthy Maine Partnerships, members of the Environmental Club of Scarborough, parents, children, physicians, and concerned citizens who took the time to attend and speak […]

Your reportage on the Brunswick school budget offers a classic case study in what military and intelligence agencies call “psy-ops,” shorthand for psychological operations. Public wringing of hands, gnashing of teeth, and parading dear children and “please tax me more” parents in front of town officials are all calculated to distract from inarguable reality, while […]
