The one

Frank Wright has been the one.

He’s been the one volunteering to read aloud “The Hobbit” in your child’s classroom to an audience captivated by his character voices.

He’s been the one showing up every Wednesday morning to teach your child how to play chess.

He’s been the one attending parent-teacher organization meetings, school events, and fundraisers, and helping out consistently with school field trips and Harpswell Swim.

He’s been your child’s cross-country coach, believing not just in the loudest, the strongest or the fastest, but also the quiet kid, the one who struggles, the one who isn’t used to being seen.

And, for the last five years, through COVID, gun violence and constant change, he’s been the one serving our community as a school board member and/or chair.

He’s been the one consistently investing his time and energy, even when that work felt uncomfortable, frustrating or sad.

This March, Frank Wright is again offering to serve as a Harpswell representative to our school board, and I’m going to vote for him because he’s been the one.

Jenny Bolton, Harpswell

Stay in your lane

From Robin Casey: Harpswell drivers: Please, please, please follow the rules of the road, especially on our narrow main roads! If someone or something is close to your side of the road, whether pedestrian, bicyclist or vehicle, you need to slow down or stop — not swerve into the oncoming lane without clearance to do so.

Comparing costs for station proposals

Initial response to a fire alarm requires a minimum crew of three — a fire officer and two firefighters. To provide this coverage 12 hours a day, five days a week, Harpswell employs a fire administrator, two full-time firefighters, one part-time firefighter, and several per diem firefighters who respond to calls from either Orr's Island or Harpswell Neck.

Great job on Hiking Challenge

I'd like to thank the folks at the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust and Harpswell Recreation for the great job they did running this year's Harpswell Hiking Challenge. It was nice to see so many families out vying to complete the full eight-trail challenge or the modified four-trail challenge.

A practical, economic, flexible solution

I am writing regarding the proposed additional fire station. What may not be fully appreciated are the trends, identified more than 10 years ago, that have led the town to face the reality that a new station is the most practical, economic and flexible solution to a problem that threatens to leave the town with an inadequate response to a structure fire, major accident or wildfire. These risks are significant and cannot be wished or studied away.
