Sea gulls hunt the waves

Lobster buoys in varied hues

Bob in summer’s thrall

Pumpkin, squash abound

Wispy clouds ‘neath crystal stars

Autumn sweeps the skies

Pine boughs bend and sigh

Frosted white by northern winds

Hard in winter’s keep

Geese in noisy flight

Fiddleheads across the land

Peepers call to spring

Andrew Kraus, Belgrade (formerly Harpswell)

Deep support for education

From Rev. Allison Smith: As a parent of three girls, I want to thank the Harpswell community for its support of postsecondary education! As you may know, it is very expensive for kids to go to college. Thankfully community college has become more reasonable!

Safe walking on Route 24

Have you ever tried to walk along Route 24? The only safe place is on the walkway of the Cribstone Bridge. Otherwise, on both Orr's and Bailey islands, it's literally trusting that the often speeding traffic will see you and steer away from your path.

Alternatives to culling deer herd

Your article "Motorist collisions with deer on the rise in Harpswell" (December) blames deer for the rise. I feel that we should reframe the issue. Who determined that the deer were the problem? The deer were here first. We just moved in on them.
