Dear Editor:

My family first came to Boothbay Harbor and Squirrel Island in the summer of 1922.

Our father used to tell us the story of how the family traveled from New York by train to Bath, and to Squirrel Island by steam ferry. It was always exciting when the Cuckolds Lighthouse would come into view because it meant, "We're almost there!" A wave to the lighthouse keepers' children as the ferry rounded to the east for Squirrel Island was affirmation.

Many in America hear from multiple sources that Social Security is going bankrupt. Some believe Congress stole the money, or there won’t be enough to live on, or worse yet, that their children are not protected. I believe this is based on multiple sources of misinformation from think tanks funded by the Koch Brothers. At least one Heritage Institute exists in each state. It is easy to be confused by well-paid misinforming institutions.

Saturday night I took my family to see the production of “South Pacific” at the Boothbay Playhouse.

We have seen this musical many times and in many places. We were all very impressed with this production. The actors were perfect. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed myself.

We are so fortunate to have such good creative people in our area. Thank you to all at the Playhouse for doing such a great job. I hope to make other shows this summer.

Dear Editor:

Don't let LincolnHealth bully us into trading rehab beds for night-time walk in care. We need (and had) both! DHHS wants the people in our community to be safe and to have access to care.

Dear Editor:

It is obvious to me that those who would deny 24-hour emergency care to the people of the Boothbay peninsula have never needed said care for themselves or their loved ones.

I would have loved to have been that lucky.

The family that owns and operates Chewonki Campground are some of the most hardworking, industrious and kind people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Their spirit, kindness and modesty are equally as inspiring as the beautiful coastal property they maintain.

Dear Editor:

In response to "Money in politics" in last week's letters: The author speaks of "both sides of the aisle" while referencing the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson, those
scurrilous neer-do-wells that donate millions to hospitals, charities, and yes, even lobbyists. But I note that "both sides" does not include the distinguished George Soros, the humble humanitarian feverishly working to help only the lower class: himself.

Dear Editor:

The LincolnHealth Board of Trustees is asking the state to reconsider its recent requirement that we become the only 24-hour urgent care center in the state of Maine.

Our group, Kwiltz 4 Kidz, just had a very successful show and sale at the Boothbay Region YMCA during Windjammer Days. We wish to thank Meagan Hamblett and the Y staff who make this possible. All proceeds from this sale goes toward the purchase of fabric, batting, thread and supplies needed to make the quilts.

Humans have been hunting with dogs for thousands of years. This November, Mainers will be asked to vote on whether or not to allow the use of dogs to hunt bears. The people who want to ban this type of hunting use phrases like “it’s not fair chase,” “it’s trophy hunting” and “the dogs need protection.”
