Letters

I want to thank everyone who voted in the June 14 Maine House District 99 Democratic primary. I am deeply moved by the expression of confidence from all of you.

Greetings! Having recently moved to town full time (summer resident since 1993) and being a musician and a recording and mixing engineer, I'd like to start to meet like-minded locals by offering free "small-scale" recording and mixing services.

I am inspired to write this letter by a column I read in The Times Record written by Susan Olcott: "Spring cleanup can protect coastal ecosystems," March 31.

As past members of the board of trustees of the Cundy's Harbor Library, we would like to express our sadness over the passing of one of the library's former librarians and directors, Samuel Schwartz.

Whether it's in English or Ukrainian, we owe a huge debt of gratitude and thanks to The School House 1913 restaurant. Their generosity was the keystone upon which Harpswell Supports Ukraine was built.

Harpswell Aging at Home wants to help you, our Harpswell neighbors, stay safer, warmer and drier as you continue to live in your homes. Do you need a hand?

Do you remember polio, or know anyone who ever had it? Chances are that if you're under 70, polio falls in the category of Spanish flu, black plague and other "ancient" scourges.

I grew up in New England, but I'm a relative newcomer to year-round living in Maine. I have to say, when people spoke of mud season, I didn't know what to expect.

Kudos to Karin Soderberg for her January letter to the editor relating her experience getting "caught in a computer scam." She is to be commended for sharing this information as a "warning so no one else experiences the fright of losing their finances and personal info to a stranger without scruples."

Relative to your November piece on clam harvesters, five or six years ago, when we were living in Freeport, there was a study done in Casco Bay on the decline of the clam population, I believe by the University of Maine.
