New England hurricane of 1938
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 - 11:15am
Dear Editor: The current news reports are all about hurricanes and I have witnessed many during my lifetime. My first memory of a hurricane dates back to 1938. I was 15 years old when the New England area experienced its most damaging hurricane on record. I lived in a comfortable home with my dad, my sister and my brother. I was the youngest. The school year had just started and there were no news reports of any hurricane activity expected. I lived at 21 Dell Ave. in Hyde Park, a section of...

The empty promises of tax cuts
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 - 10:30am
Dear Editor: I have yet to encounter someone who told me that they got a raise in pay because their boss got a tax cut. This illustrates the hollowness of those promises from business owners like Senator Dana Dow that tax cuts for the rich will improve the economy. For those who are unfamiliar with our tax history, here is a quick and approximate recap of the top rates: The Roaring Twenties – 25 percent; Depression and WW2 – 63 percent; Post war – 94 percent, Sixties and Seventies – 70 percent...

Pants on fire
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 - 9:45am
Dear Editor: To adoring crowds at his 2020 re-election rallies, Donald Trump calls for tax reform, based on the fraudulent claim that in America, “We have the highest taxes in the world.” Attempting to build on this mound of sand, he demands (without any realistic or detailed plan) that the top corporate tax rate be cut to 15 percent and the rate for wealthiest individuals be lowered by 5 percent. This massive giveaway to the richest companies and families -- coupled with vague promises of a...

Do we let our people die or do we rescue them?
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 - 7:15am
Dear Editor: You and I have an opportunity to save Maine lives and some claim we can’t afford to save them. Certainly families face similar decisions, but if their child, or father, or mother or brother or sister need help, that family risks everything to save one life. Wyoming’s Gov. Matt Mead lamented the $100 million left on the table for Medicaid as the state is now facing a $20 million deficit. Maine sent letters to every approved Medicaid patient without notifying their doctors, causing...

Bureaucratic nonsense
Monday, September 18, 2017 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: I attended the Sept. 11 Edgecomb Selectmen’s meeting with a representative from the DOT, Gerry Audibert. This meeting addressed the dangerous conditions on Eddy Road, particularly the curve at the cove, and the large tractor trailer trucks that regularly speed through this area as a short-cut to Routes 1 and 27. I was nearly hit head-on by one such truck. In a nutshell, it appears from what I gleaned from the meeting, that the DOT protects the interests of commercial vehicles on...

Vote no on Medicaid expansion
Thursday, September 14, 2017 - 8:45am
Dear Editor: Maine can’t afford to expand Medicaid for healthy adults without children. We need to look no further than President Obama’s own Department of Health and Human Services 2016 Actuarial Report to Congress on Medicaid’s financial outlook. “A growing share of budget expenditures on the Medicaid program could displace spending on other important programs, or additional taxes or other revenue sources could be required to fund Medicaid.” Proponents for expansion will not tell you that the...

Talking and listening across the divide
Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - 11:15am
Dear Editor: It started Aug. 29 with a workshop on the current state of civility in our politics by Carolyn Lukensmeyer of the National Institute for Civil Discourse. The workshop was hosted by Lincoln County Indivisible at Friends Meetinghouse in Damariscotta. I invited Dick Mayer, chair of Lincoln County Republican Committee, to join me and he graciously accepted. We both learned more through the workshop and appreciate the need to bring more earnest but civil discussion into our politics. In...

Rainmaker Charlie Hatfield
Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - 9:30am
Dear Editor: In 1915, the San Diego city council, pressured by the San Diego Wide Awake Improvement Club, decided to hire the “moisture accelerator” Charlie Hatfield to solve a low reservoir problem, only later in 1916 to painfully learn many lessons. The first lesson turned out to be the most costly lesson — “watch what you wish for.” Every year when the drought temptress looks for a rainmaker, the local papers reprint the Charlie Hatfield story. It took Charlie two runs at his secret method...

CMBG permit should be retracted
Tuesday, September 12, 2017 - 9:15am
Dear Editor: I was very disturbed to learn, when I attended the appeals board meeting at Boothbay Town Hall on July 27, 2017, that the Botanical Gardens recently chose to change its designation as a botanical garden/“museum” to botanical garden/“school” in order to utilize a zoning “loophole” to enable them to build 500 +/- more parking spaces in a “watershed overlay zone,” which protects the Knickerbocker Lake area, for a total of 800 +/- parking spaces. Jason Anthony, whose family is...

Progress?
Monday, September 11, 2017 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: After reading Joe Gelarden’s column in the Aug. 31 issue of the Register, I had to comment. When did the construction project ever stop? The center of town has been nothing but a dust bowl all summer, an eyesore to the tourist traffic and residents. He (Gelarden) said the town manager and inspector were keeping a close eye on things. Apparently, the missed the utility pole being placed in the middle of Country Club Road. Watch out when the barricades are moved. The original set of...

No better place in which to live
Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - 12:30pm
Dear Editor: The family of Maddie Lorrain would like to thank everyone who came out to join us on Aug. 30 at the Boothbay Fire House for her benefit dinner. As we said on the night of the dinner, you hear about how your town rallies around people in their time of need, but you never realize just how much until it happens to you or a member of your family. The people of this region are the best. We can’t possibly thank you enough but we would like to start by thanking the Boothbay Fire...

Our star-crossed nation
Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - 10:45am
Dear Editor: When the lights of justice and decency go out, four new stars in the form of a burning cross appear. Legends of the white identity movement, they are former governor George Wallace (extinct, but the light of his hate still reaches us), former sheriff Joe Arpaio, minority president Donald Trump, and soon-to-be-former governor Paul LePage. Astrologers claim that events on Earth and human personality traits are influenced by the configuration of stars at given moments in history. Just...

Hawke is our voice in Augusta
Wednesday, September 6, 2017 - 9:45am
Dear Editor: Representative Stephanie Hawke has “turned out” (using words from a letter to the editor last week) to be a competent and knowledgeable voice, representing us in Augusta. The Medicaid expansion question needs revision as written. The present language will expand Medicaid coverage for able bodied adults without dependents, and under age 65. The present system offers services for children, elderly and handicapped people. Money talks and the care and services for those eligible are...

Now is the time to be kind
Monday, September 4, 2017 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: When hurricanes hit the land there is no justice, no difference in what it takes as it takes everything in its path. Every culture, religion, gender, and age drown in the same manner. It destroys buildings and business irrespective of the dollar values, or beauty of structures. It takes many animals and food supplies with it and destroys critical water supplies. This country moved from a Charlottesville weekend filled with emotional distaste that leaders reported three groups...

A terrible precedent
Monday, September 4, 2017 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: I wish to follow up on a report of a meeting with the Southport town fathers, which was reported in this paper on Aug. 31 (Boathouse Revisited). I had asked for this meeting because of my disagreement with the town’s decision to dismiss the process of inspection of a small boathouse at 117 Cameron’s Point Road, 1.5 years after development took place. Prior to the spring of 2016 this simple over-the-water structure was well-documented in photographs and paintings and for many years...

Medicaid is insurance, not welfare
Monday, September 4, 2017 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: Our legislative representative, Stephanie Hawke, recently made a public appearance with a group opposing the expansion of Medicaid in Maine and voicing an extremist claim that Medicaid is “not insurance, but welfare.” In my career as a medical sociologist, a professor in three different medical schools, and as professor and chair of a Research I university sociology department, I have become all too painfully aware that Medicaid serves a very useful place in our health care system...

Where in the world ...?
Friday, September 1, 2017 - 8:15am
Dear Editor: Another year, with four months of planning, marketing, shopping, encouraging volunteerism for a one of a kind back to school event for the students and families of the Boothbay region, has ended. Boothbay Region Community Resource Council’s Set For Success has now completed its sixth year of gifting elementary students with new backpacks and every single teacher requested school supply, along with more than words can describe. In front of the Boothbay Region YMCA, the lines for the...

Civility has fallen out of favor
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 12:30pm
Dear Editor: From the late ’60s into the ’70s, the chains of accepted moral conduct were broken, thereby liberating behavior previously not condoned. The chant became: “If you can’t be the one you love, then love the one you’re with,” “It is the dawn of the Age of Aquarius where sympathy and understanding will pervade,” “Be happy, no worries,” and “Make love, not war.” You were free to explore life as you wished without restrictions. It was the age of sex, drugs and rock ’n roll. The seed of...

Making honesty and humanity prevail
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 11:30am
Dear Editor: There has been a lot of hand wringing over KKK flyers being tossed around the Midcoast and disclaimers that that is not who we are. I want to be very clear, as long as we support a president who calls Neo-Nazis, KKK sympathizers, white supremacists and others who carry torches and chant Jews will not replace us, "some very fine people," we are complicit in these kinds of activities. The administration’s actions to change the subject to the issue of Confederate monument removal is...
letter to the editor
The other side of hate is love
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 10:45am
Dear Editor: Almost without fail most media focused on the horror of the Charlottesville day of infamy, violence, injury and death. Terrorism is defined as “the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims.” The “other side” is not more hate. Why were the 1,000 clergy who faced hate with their call to love not seen as the other side? Why were the Black Lives group who shared the love space, and sang songs with the clergy not mentioned? Even Governor LePage mimicked the...
letter to the editor
No, Virginia, teachers are not a dime a dozen, thank heaven!
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 9:00am
Dear Editor: No Virginia, everyone is not equal but all are valued and important in society. Thankfully all individuals have particular skills, abilities, and temperament that allows them to all be valuable and constructive members of society. Those with artistic ability seek to beautify the world around them, while those with a wellspring of compassion serve as nurses, doctors and hospice caregivers. What would our civilization be without those with mathematical abilities serving as engineers...

Another zinger from Governor LePage
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 7:45am
Dear Editor: Thanks to Governor LePage, I now realize that my work as a teacher over a 20-year period made me, along with the numerous colleagues with whom I worked, and the hundreds of thousands nationwide who choose to teach in our public schools, “a dime a dozen.” It's good to know this finally. I'm sure that the current teacher workforce here in Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are also glad to know this. It should help them work all the harder to help our kids learn. It should make it easier...
letter to the editor
Support the Gardens
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 - 7:00am
Dear Editor: I think it's time for people to come out and support CMBG in their efforts in improving the economic climate here on the peninsula. Not only have they provided good-paying jobs, but have extended the visitor season here with Gardens Aglow. I know the restaurants, B&Bs, and hotels have benefited from the existence of CMBG. It's a shame that a few NIMBYS, who up to this point had a town supported private road to themselves have to share it now, keep complaining about it. If you...
letter to the editor
Hawke a huge disappointment
Monday, August 28, 2017 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: Representative Stephanie Hawke has turned out to be a huge disappointment for our district. She and a handful of Republicans are trying to convince people that Medicaid is welfare, not health insurance. The Health Insurance Association of America describes Medicaid as a "government
insurance
program for persons of all ages whose income and resources are insufficient to pay for health care." Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services...

Lost bracelet returned
Friday, August 25, 2017 - 8:30am
Dear Editor: Recently I was in Boothbay Harbor to attend a wedding. As there was time between the wedding and the reception, I decided to do some shopping in town, dressed in my wedding clothes and jewelry. Upon returning to our bed and breakfast, I was dismayed to discover the diamond tennis bracelet my husband had given me for our 25th wedding anniversary had fallen off. I was sure it was gone forever. My husband and sister-in-law decided we should retrace our shopping steps. What a wonderful...

A community for all
Friday, August 25, 2017 - 7:15am
Dear Editor: Recent displays of bigotry and violence around the country have left few communities untouched, further agitating some of our nation’s deepest and oldest wounds. The Aug. 17 terrorist attack in Barcelona was another sobering reminder that threats to open and accepting societies exist throughout the world. These issues were brought to our doorsteps last week by people who targeted Boothbay Harbor and other nearby towns for distribution of KKK fliers. Their actions provided a...

War everlasting
Wednesday, August 23, 2017 - 10:30am
Dear Editor: Our president has decided upon “ War Everlasting” in Afghanistan... We've been down this road before. Who is going to fight it? Who is going to pay for it? Remember that no one, no country, has ever long succeeded by military operations in Afghanistan during known history; not the Mauryan Empire of ancient India, Alexander the Great of Macedonia; Umar, the Arab Caliphate; Genghis Khan of Mongolia, Tamerlane of Persia and Central Asia; the Mughal Empire of India, various Persian...

Eight questions for CMBG
Wednesday, August 23, 2017 - 10:00am
Dear Editor: On Aug. 31 at 6 p.m., the Boothbay Board of Appeals will hold the last meeting at which the public can speak about CMBG’s huge development. There are many questions Boothbay’s residents and visitors should be asking. Here are a few: Why did CMBG refuse the Planning Board’s request to put its expansion plans before the entire town for a vote? The town voted on Bigelow Lab’s expansion and on the roundabout. CMBG’s Disneyland plans for 350,000 visitors will seriously impact Boothbay’s...
letter to the editor
We are all created equal
Wednesday, August 23, 2017 - 8:15am
Dear Editor: The hate and values expressed by Ku Klux Klan flyers distributed in Lincoln County communities should concern all of us. Hate groups may feel emboldened by recent political leaders’ comments supporting hate, racism and white supremacy. But hate doesn’t solve problems. Hate doesn’t help people overcome difficulties or enable them to thrive. Hate doesn’t strengthen communities. Instead it makes members of our communities feel unsafe. It makes goodhearted people feel unwelcome. And...

What we learned at KLA meeting
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 12:30pm
Dear Editor: On Monday, Aug. 14, the Knickerbocker Lake Association had its annual meeting. About 40 people were present. Paul Hunt from the Portland Water District gave a presentation about managing the health of Sebago Lake and its watershed. The size difference between Sebago Lake and Knickerbocker Lake is significant, but both are used for drinking water and recreation. There was much to be learned from his presentation about how we can best manage our water quality. Hunt spoke of the...

Brotherly love: A ‘cement’ of another kind
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 11:30am
Dear Editor: I am a Mason and recent events have made me think about love and friendship, the guiding principles of our organization. I try to treat people with basic respect and the love we as Masons espouse. When I heard of the events in Virginia and then the leaflets in Boothbay, I first thought of my love for others and how impossible it would be for me to condone something like this. Brotherly love is a characteristic that is inherent to us as Masons. When I think of a mason, certain words...

Missing camera changes vacation focus
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 11:15am
Dear Editor: Returning home from a wondrous few days in Boothbay, I was presented with a challenge. My camera was missing! With it was the looked-forward- to video replay of the wave sounds and the roll of the Eastwind schooner, the painterly vistas of Monhegan, the hollyhocks to be painted later in watercolor. Worse yet was my skepticism that, if found, could it be recovered? I had a certain trust in Maine residents, but would a tourist be likely to see the value of those pictures to some...

Medicaid expansion question needs revision
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 10:30am
Dear Editor: Maine voters will make a very important decision about Medicaid expansion this November 7. Secretary Dunlap is required by law to present the question “concisely and intelligibly” and has posted a version for public comment on their web site with a 5 p.m., Sept. 1 deadline. Medicaid is not health insurance, but is a program that was intended for children, pregnant women, parents of dependent children, the elderly, and those with disabilities… the truly needy. The issue before us is...

Healthcare in a democracy
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 9:30am
Most of us didn’t know that accident insurance began in 1850 by the Massachusetts Franklin Health Assurance Company. By 1866 sixty companies offered accident insurance. That was the beginning concept of providing healthcare coverage in the U.S. In 1890 it was called sickness coverage, and the first employer-sponsored healthcare opened in 1911. Lost wages during illness could put a working person in the poor house. The rise of private insurance occurred side-by-side the rise in public insurance...

A very dangerous hazard
Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - 8:15am
Dear Editor: Last night, Aug. 15 at 5:30 p.m., I was driving back to Boothbay Harbor along Eddy Road. As I neared the cove, a very large tractor trailer truck came speeding around the corner, in the center of both lanes and nearly hit me head on, and almost ran me off of the road. He was speeding through Eddy Road to avoid the back-up at at 27 and Route 1. It is only by pure luck and defensive driving that I avoided a disastrous collision with the truck. My mother and her friend, who were in...

Help the Boosters score a scoreboard!
Monday, August 21, 2017 - 6:30pm
Dear Editor: Last year was a rebuilding year for the Boothbay Region Boosters Club as we worked to rebuild our bank account back into the black after an unfortunate setback. We were able to get back on track after a great season of concessions and donations from the community. As we start the fall season of sports this year, it has come to our attention that the scoreboard in the high school gym will not make it through this school year. Many of the light bulbs are broken and because the...

Monday, August 21, 2017 - 3:45pm
Dear Editor: Thank you to everyone who came out to Boothbay Harbor UMC for Sunday’s "MARK 209" Gospel Concert. Church doors were open wide! Music heard all over the neighborhood! People walking past the church towards downtown would slow down to listen for a moment. Some others stopped in after the concert started. Each of our Cooperative churches was represented and many community members turned out. According to photos, over 90 people came to hear some great Gospel, moving testimony, and down...

Fun festival
Monday, August 21, 2017 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: St. Columba’s Church wants to thank the members of the community, visitors and volunteers who helped make the 12th annual Blueberry Festival a success. Although the day started with rain many people came to enjoy the pancake breakfast, purchase baked goods in the Bake Shop, fun items in the boutique and to bid on beautiful items in the Silent Auction. We are looking ahead to our 13th festival. The Blueberry Festival Committee

Non-violent protest is positive protest
Saturday, August 19, 2017 - 2:45pm
Dear Editor: The recent terrifying events in Charlottesville are reminiscent of the Brown Shirts and deadly violence that ushered in Hitler and the Nazi regime and resulted in World War II and the Holocaust. As we watched in utter disbelief to the Nuremburg-like torchlight parade and subsequent violent, deadly assaults of the racist mob, we heard the repeated chant of “Heil Trump!” It chilled and angered us to the very core of our being. The startling parallel to the darkest period in history...

The Harbor is a welcoming community
Friday, August 18, 2017 - 1:30pm
Dear Editor: The Boothbay Harbor Board of Selectmen are concerned by the recent appearance of disturbing flyers that were distributed in our community. We want to assure residents and visitors that the Harbor is a welcoming, safe community that values diversity and rejects intolerance. The Selectmen invite anyone who feels threatened by recent actions to please contact the Boothbay Harbor Police so they can help assure your personal safety and the safety of our community. Wendy J. Wolf, Chair...
Higher IQ lost the game
Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - 9:30am
Dear Editor: Bragging about someone’s IQ is not a winning indicator. Gary Kasparov’s 190-IQ lost a chess championship to Judith Polar (170-IQ) as did many other world champions. She defeated the world’s #1 chess player in 2002. Until recently I had never seen an advertisement that bragged about an individual’s IQ score. Bragging is a compensatory action to elevate ones own status or aggrandize ones own possession in an obvious and exaggerated manner, due to absence of confidence or lack of self...

Caring service
Monday, August 14, 2017 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: I would like to express great thanks to the staff at the St. Andrews Urgent Care Center. I recently broke my arm and was treated with the wonderful care of Becky, Margaret, Charity, Sue, and Dr. Jordan. Everyone at the Urgent Care Center did great work to stabilize my arm until I got my cast applied by Dr. Moran, at Miles. A big thank you to you all! Tani Barbour Vista, California

Politics of cruelty
Monday, August 14, 2017 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: One must wonder at the audacity and cruelty of the politics of the modern age where the disabled, seniors, and poor families with children are made the sacrificial lambs in the attempted massive upward redistribution of wealth led by leaders in Congress. The recent history of the failed repeal of the Affordable Care Act demonstrated an eager willingness, almost a foaming-at-the-mouth intensity of Republicans in Congress to opportunistically use the platform of repealing the ACA as...

Successful Lobster Roll 5K
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 5:45pm
Dear Editor: Saturday, July 29 was a great day for a road race! Over 200 people laced up their sneakers and participated in the 8th annual Lobster Roll 5K. All proceeds will be going toward the construction of a community track and athletic field. Many thanks to all the participants who came out to get some exercise and support this effort. Thanks to the following sponsors of this year’s race: Lincoln Medical Partners/Maine Health, First Federal Savings & Loan, J. Edward Knight Company,...

Trump is failing
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 5:15pm
Dear Editor: I had no high hopes for Mr. Trump and see no reason to improve my opinion. None of the promises he made have materialized. True, the economic situation has improved, but this started before he took office, although many, including his followers, have failed to feel the benefit. Infrastructure, job opportunities and health care were supposed to improve. They have not. His administration is mired in scandal and in-fighting. His followers refuse to believe this as he has brainwashed...

Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: This Saturday, Aug. 12 will launch the 24th annual Southport Rowgatta, with start time at 8:30 a.m. from Southport's Newagen Town Landing Dock. This year's Rowgatta honors the memory of Merry Knowlton, a longtime supporter of the Rowgatta. All Rowgatta proceeds help defray the cost of swim lessons for every second grader in our region, an important cause indeed. Kayaks, rowboats, shells, paddleboards or any human powered craft are welcome. It's not too late to sign up. Please...

Lobster Jam 2017
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 1:30pm
Dear Editor: Lobster Jam 2017 could not have been the success it was without our MVP sponsor The First, our All-Star sponsor LincolnHealth, our loyal and dedicated volunteers, our generous and hard-working lobstermen and the teams and families that came to our scenic community and displayed some great Maine girls basketball on July 28 and 29. Congratulations and thank you to the Oxford Hills girls for earning the title Lobster Jam Champs 2017. The following members of our team deserve...

Our changing landscape
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 12:30pm
Dear Editor: As I watch the ongoing flow of changes remolding out local scenery, it almost seems as though the Boothbay region has slipped into an alternate reality. Similar to segments of the larger world around us (and while a lot of us weren’t paying attention), changes have begun to ripple along a predetermined path. As time passes, we stand as helpless onlookers, witnesses to a man-made evolution going so fast that we can’t keep up with it. The “old cow path” is being replaced by a...

A fun only-in-Boothbay opportunity
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 11:30am
Dear Editor: This past Sunday I rowed to Burnt Island around 8 a.m., dropped a donation into a box on the boardwalk by the beach, and enjoyed a full tour of both the lighthouse and the first floor of the keeper's house, which is restored according to 1950s keeper's family's daily living. Oh, yes, this was followed by (could have been preceded by) a generous and tasty pancake breakfast. There are three Sundays left for kayakers, canoeists, and rowers to take advantage of this opportunity.My...

Auction support
Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - 10:00am
Dear Editor: The Rotary Club of Boothbay Harbor thanks everyone who helped make this year's Auction a huge success ... the many folks who donated goods, those who attended, and the legions of volunteers ... all of whom made the Auction possible. Special thanks to the town of Boothbay for the venue, and the Boothbay Register for publishing all our articles. Thank you to the volunteers from the Community Center, BRHS Gap and Interact Clubs, Volunteers from far and wide, Boothbay Region Community...
