Hidden gem

My husband and I have stayed on Mackerel Cove four times within the last eight years. Yes, it is a hidden gem and one of our favorite areas of Maine. (See “A summer in Maine’s ‘hidden gem’,” October.) We hope it remains a hidden gem and does not become so popular that it becomes overcrowded and overpriced. We have seen this happen to another favorite of ours: Rockport, Massachusetts. Keep Harpswell a gem!

Time for a change

From Tracy Johnson Colby: I recently had the opportunity to engage a friend who just turned 18 in an extended conversation over a couple of days. When I asked him if he had registered to vote, his answer was no. When I asked if he intended to register, he again answered no and said he wasn't interested in voting.

Read comp plan before voting

As you may have heard, the revised comprehensive plan is now available online. I strongly suggest that people read it before voting at Town Meeting in March. Know what you are getting, and what you are voting for or against.

Adapting to the times

Relative to your November piece on clam harvesters, five or six years ago, when we were living in Freeport, there was a study done in Casco Bay on the decline of the clam population, I believe by the University of Maine.

Voting no on new station

I have worked on the planning and execution of large municipal projects like the proposed $6 million central emergency services station, and I know what the proper process is. It has not been followed.
