We would like to thank all the folks who swiftly helped us with a fuel spill at Durant’s Lobster wharf a few weeks ago. It was caused by a leak in a bait truck delivering bait to our wharf, not by one of our boats.

Thanks to our wharf boss, Jeff, along with family members, neighbors, friends, and the Cundy’s Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, the leak was quickly contained. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection was quick to respond and it was immediately taken care of.

Thanks again.

Marie and Lester Durant and family

Let the public decide

From Kathy Hirst: I am following up on two recent letters, from Elizabeth Taylor ("Larger boards enhance representation," September) and Steve Musica ("Five-member board almost a no-brainer," October) suggesting that the Select Board be increased from three to five members in order to broaden representation and improve functionality.

Response to ‘Silver Linings’

This beautifully written piece by Erin O'Mara shares a personal journey of loss of one dear to her to cancer. "Her friendship was a treasure," she touchingly describes, "as tangible and precious as something I could hold in my hands."

An integral piece of our community

Everyone who drives down Route 123, or "the Neck," passes by a familiar landmark — Two Coves Farm on Neils Point Road. Run by Joe and Laura Grady, the farm is home to herds of sheep, pigs, chickens, and recently added Belted Galloways, an uncommon species of beef cow.
