We are writing to ask for your support for Mike Brown as a candidate for School Administrative District 51 Board of Directors. Mike has been a resident of Cumberland for more than 10 years and has always been interested and involved in the community, most recently as the vice chairman of the Shellfish Commission. He […]

True story: I picked up The Forecaster last Tuesday and read about the SAD 51 budget and that there was to be a vote scheduled for that day. It was 3 p.m. so I didn’t have much time, but raced to the polls to vote. I had no idea there was an election that day […]

On June 9 there will be a vote on the South Portland school budget at the South Portland Community Center. There will be a couple of citizen-initiated petitions you may be asked to sign when you go to cast your vote. One of them is to ban access for people who walk their dogs on […]

We’ve seen the signs urging us to “Save Main Street” in Cumberland by voting no on June 9. Instead I urge you to vote yes. This issue is about preserving one of the few remaining small business locations on this stretch of road. If we don’t keep the businesses we have, Main Street could become […]

As two former town councilors and a former chairman of the Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals, we are writing to support enthusiastically Joe Wrobleski’s re-election to the Falmouth Town Council.

I appreciate the careful and intelligent thought Joe Wrobleski applies to all issues he encounters. He consistently reserves judgement until he considers all relative concerns and consequences. This is a developed thinking skill coming from many years practicing law as well as many years serving on the Falmouth Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, Planning Board and […]

Please join me in supporting Joe Wrobleski’s re-election to the Falmouth Town Council. Through his work as the council’s liaison to the Long Range Planning Advisory Committee (LPAC), I have come to know Joe as a knowledgeable advocate of reasonable natural resources protection policies. LPAC (and its predecessor, CPAC) has been working for over a […]

I moved to Falmouth in 1970 and bought a lot from Fred Chase in Brookside Forest. I have always found Fred to be an honest and reasonable person. When he was on the Town Council back in the 1970s he would always be accessible and his decisions were made with a lot of thought of […]
