I am Deputy George Bradbury. I work for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. I am a resident of Harpswell. I live and work among you.

Celebrate independence — but be safe
Here we are in July, which means we are celebrating Independence Day. This means cookouts, family parties and fireworks!
We have to remember that the town of Harpswell has a fireworks ordinance limiting when and where fireworks can be used. Please refer to harpswell.maine.gov/ordinances. If you shoot off fireworks, make sure to pick up the mess, and try to keep your neighbors’ pets in mind.
If you go to a family cookout and decide you want to consume adult beverages, make sure you have a ride home. No one needs to get an OUI or, worse, get into an accident. Remember, the legal drinking age is 21.
Let’s be safe out there! And don’t get voted off the islands.
The views above are those of Deputy George Bradbury, not of the town of Harpswell or the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
