Cliff Trail rescue

April 6, 2023

I would like to thank all the Harpswell fire departments, MC-2, Deputy Welch, and the many volunteers who came to my rescue on Cliff Trail a few weeks ago. I appreciate their quick response and their care with transporting me off the trail and to Mid Coast Hospital.

I was fortunate to have only bumps and bruises and I am on the mend. A week in sunny Florida sure helped with healing. Many thanks to all of you.

Dog owners: Keep beach clean

Once again I am writing to dog owners who walk their dogs in Mitchell Field. There are no consequences for not picking up after your dog, but it is a courtesy to others who want to use the park and who are not dog owners.

Time for a central station

I have been an active member of Harpswell Neck Fire and Rescue since 1979. That's 46 years. To say that I've seen changes would be an understatement. I also serve on my department's Board of Directors and on the town's Fire and Rescue Planning Committee, and I'm retired from a career fire department. I am writing to encourage support for the central fire station on Mountain Road.

Letter writer to be commended

Kudos to Karin Soderberg for her January letter to the editor relating her experience getting "caught in a computer scam." She is to be commended for sharing this information as a "warning so no one else experiences the fright of losing their finances and personal info to a stranger without scruples."
