Dog owners: Keep beach clean

Once again I am writing to dog owners who walk their dogs in Mitchell Field. There are no consequences for not picking up after your dog, but it is a courtesy to others who want to use the park and who are not dog owners.

Two dog stations provide free dog bags, with two more stations to be added in the future.

Mitchell Field comprises about 120 acres of paved roads, trails and a beach. There are wetlands and many aquifers that all run down to the beach area. The potential for carrying dog waste down to the beach is high.

Please show your appreciation for this beautiful property by helping to keep it clean and healthy for walkers and swimmers for years to come.

Embarrassed for all of Harpswell

I believe I know my place in Harpswell: alien/not from here. That said, I have had the good fortune of being part of the town's Affordable Housing Working Group and providing the group's report, which has been approved by the Select Board, to the Comprehensive Plan Task Force.

Disappointment and disbelief

I read the article "Longtime Orr's librarian out as board pursues new vision" with deep disappointment and disbelief. The Orr's Island Library has become the Harpswell institution I love most in the five years I have lived here.
