Preserving access to treasured resource

Our many thanks for the support you’ve shown Friends of Barleyfield Point and our efforts over the past couple years — by donating money, baked goods and auction items, and by attending our benefit in April. (Thank you, Cook’s!)

We are simply a group of neighbors spurred to action by a threat to Barleyfield Point and the beach at Flag Cove. While the struggle has gone on longer than any of us anticipated — and is ongoing — we are committed to continuing to work on behalf of the community to ensure access to this treasured resource on Orr’s Island is preserved.

Amber Skinner, President, Friends of Barleyfield Point

    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.

    Alternatives to culling deer herd

    Your article "Motorist collisions with deer on the rise in Harpswell" (December) blames deer for the rise. I feel that we should reframe the issue. Who determined that the deer were the problem? The deer were here first. We just moved in on them.
