Harpswell students earn honors

Navigating the many changes in technology, devices, software and the cloud can be confusing, even frustrating, for a generation not raised with computers and smartphones.

Dense stands of knotweed line any number of roads in Harpswell. It's easy to identify at this time of year, when clusters of small, white-green flowers bloom along its stems. Knotweed's height — at times up to 10 feet — and its hollow, segmented stalks cause many to mistake it for bamboo.

On Nov. 4, Harpswell will vote on several state and local issues, including a request to approve a new comprehensive plan for the town.
