Letters

By Nola Denslow: On Allen Point Road, there is a public, state-owned parcel of land with a small, pebbly beach and beautiful views. For many years, the owners of the properties surrounding this land have used it exclusively. They want to keep it that way.

From Kathy Hirst: I am writing to encourage Harpswell residents to vote for Ellen Glew to fill the Select Board position. She brings to Harpswell a history and spirit of community involvement — and more.

From Nelson Barter: I am writing to endorse Kevin Johnson for reelection to the Select Board.

From Janet Galle: I just returned from England and read about Chris McIntire's death. He was one of my most delightful English students at Mt. Ararat in my advanced class in 2009.

From David and Dianne Morton: Your January article ("Two Coves Farm shuts down in dispute between farmers, landowner") highlights a distressing misunderstanding of the nature of a farmland trust. It is the farmers — the Gradys — who truly preserve this land through regenerative farming.

From Elaine Baur: Thank you to all the folks who stopped to help me when my car went off the road and into a snowbank past the Harpswell border and north of Mare Brook Farm on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at about 6:40 a.m.

From Jay McCreight: Please join me in voting for Gregory Greenleaf for reelection to the Maine School Administrative District 75 school board. Gregory, in his first term on the board, has served our students well. Serving on a school board requires the ability and dedication to work hard and to work collaboratively. It's a team effort to bring about the best policies for all kids in the district.

From Gregory Greenleaf: My name is Gregory Greenleaf, and I currently serve on the Maine School Administrative District 75 school board. I am seeking reelection in the upcoming March election.

From Ronnie Weston: Harpswell has long prided itself on a form of local government that values open discussion, neighbor-to-neighbor accountability, and careful consideration of complex issues. That is why the proposal to move the Clark Cove warrant article to a secret ballot raises serious concern.

From Anne Wagner: My husband and I have lived on Morse Shore Road for over 20 years. I'm from Maine and love this community dearly. I have started and restarted this letter probably a hundred times.
