I am writing in support of Dick Woodbury as an independent for the Maine State Senate representing Falmouth, Cumberland, Gray, North Yarmouth, and Yarmouth. As an independent, Dick is not beholden to special-interest groups or to party politics. In fact, he has used his objectivity and ability to negotiate across party lines to benefit the […]

… And all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for my 11-year-old, who had decided it was time to clean his room. The last day of my children’s previous school year was June 16. I do not have an advanced degree in mathematics, but by my calculations, this meant that they had […]

Last year, state Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland, sponsored LD 1195, an act to allow non-citizen residents to vote in municipal elections. Under the bill a municipality could “provide by ordinance for a person residing within its borders who is not a citizen of the United States to vote in a municipal election.” Alfond explained that […]

The board of trustees of Falmouth Memorial Library would like to clarify that, consistent with our written resolution of Aug. 17 and Trustee Sean Joyce’s comments, we believe that moving to Lunt very likely will meet our long-term needs.

Of all the things I collected at The Forecaster, my favorite is a letter in which attorney F. Lee Bailey essentially calls me a liar. Bailey, of course, is a pretty big deal. For a time, one local newspaper had taken to writing “internationally famous” before his name, as if celebrity that crosses oceans is […]

I would like to respond to a recent letter from Jeffrey Alan Morse about his concern with Brunswick Town Council Vice Chairwoman Deborah Atwood’s stance on a company that has been involved with military drone development and currently seeks to set up shop at Brunswick Naval Air Station. One has to read the news to […]

We live in troubled times, we need a man of the caliber of Jerry Davis to represent the people of District 11 in the Maine Senate. Please re-elect Jerry in the upcoming election. Marie C. BrownFalmouth

We have lived in Falmouth since 1965 and have managed just fine without a community center. With the economy the way it is, I don’t feel that the average Falmouth resident can keep taking on more and more just because a certain few feel this is the way we should go. We try to teach […]
