A sadder place to live

On Sept. 27, approximately 28 “Voter ID for ME” signs were legally placed in Harpswell. As of this writing, almost all of them have been defaced with swastikas or black marker changing the number in Question 1 to an 8. After the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office was notified, most of the swastika signs were removed.

I cannot imagine living in a town where this is happening. The people responsible for this vandalism are obviously disturbed. Their actions say more about them than they do about Voter ID for ME.

Whoever did this is not winning, but they’ve made Harpswell a sadder place to live.

Tracy Johnson Colby, Harpswell

Absent-minded birder grateful for help

From Ned Toll: While my family knows this all too well, I am hesitant to make it generally known that I am absent-minded. However, after I left my spotting scope at Wharton Point in Brunswick on Nov. 18, I need to thank a number of people in the Harpswell and birding communities who acted quickly to make sure it was returned to me.
