Seasonal haiku

From Celeste Danforth: If you are fortunate enough to have a precious prekindergarten child or grandchild in Maggie York's new Harpswell pre-K class, you know how amazing Mrs. York is. For those who don't, all I can say is that it is great for Harpswell to have one of our own, a Harpswell resident, lead this class of young learners.

With days growing shorter and darkness falling earlier, I've been enjoying the wonderful views of our night skies here in Harpswell. While it's true that there's some glow from nearby towns — the bright lights at Cook's Corner and the distant glows of Portland and Bath — here in Harpswell, we can still discern the Milky Way in our night sky.

After reading three letters of warning from members of the Comprehensive Plan Task Force about March's vote, I decided to read the available literature on the plan, as well as the proposals by the Affordable Housing Working Group.
