Carbon emissions and dark skies

I would like to thank the town of Harpswell for its efforts to reduce its carbon emissions. A thank you to all the people involved who helped make this possible. Also, thank you for keeping our night skies dark for all of us to enjoy!

City Folks

The folks who live in the city

Never see a star.

They look at each other in

Bewilderment

And wonder what they are.

They never see the first star

Of the evening

To make a wish upon.

They never see the twinkling

In the heavens

From darkness until dawn.

It seems to me a pity

That they miss such

A wondrous sight.

But when you live in the city

There is never darkness in the night.

Carol Bibber, Harpswell Neck

Driving Cheryl Golek

From George Simonson: Four years ago, I began volunteering as a driver for state Rep. Cheryl Golek, taking her door to door around Harpswell and Brunswick as she campaigned for her first term in the Maine Legislature. I drove her again two years ago. And now, as she runs for a third term, I'm doing it again.

Music as a bridge

From the Harpswell Bandstand Committee: There are just so many folks to thank for the great success of the Harpswell Bandstand by the Sea 2026 season preview held May 9 at the Orr's Island Schoolhouse.
