Every day should be Earth Day
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 7:30pm
Dear Editor: Happy early Earth Day because every day should be Earth Day. It is remarkable how blind a lot of Western societies are to the global crisis of climate change. Impoverished countries of the periphery are marginalized and forced to cope with and adapt to the detrimental impacts of climate change. The most horrific fact is that the U.S. population is only 4% of the global population, yet we throw away 30% of the planets total waste. It is estimated that the average American citizen...

If you care about business, vote yes on 3, 4 and 5
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 7:00pm
Dear Editor: I own and operate an electrical contracting company in the Boothbay region. Having consistent year-round business is vital to employing full-time people and providing good wages and benefits. As I look at the articles that Boothbay Harbor will be voting on May 3, it’s that kind of development we believe will help businesses like ours as the community grows. There are important protections for the working waterfront. We know there will be lost revenue with the addition of non-profit...

Re-elect Mike Tomko for selectman
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 7:00pm
Dear Editor: To my fellow Boothbay Harbor residents: My name is Michael Tomko and I’ve chosen to run for re-election as Boothbay Harbor Selectman. While many may know me through my previous years of public service, I want to provide a bit about my background and my strong desire to continue serving our community. I’ve been a resident since 2007 and volunteered in the Harbor since practically the first day I arrived. I’ve served on our Planning Board since 2008 and served as chair for six years...
letter to the editor
Vote for Tom Minerich
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 6:45pm
Dear Editor: I support Tom Minerich for Boothbay Harbor Board of Selectman. My family has deep roots in the area and I have been fortunate to be able to live and work here all my life. I know many members of the community and I cannot think of a better candidate than Tom Minerich. He supports local business and knows the importance of a strong local economy in order to secure our future. Tom is passionate about children and understands the challenges facing our schools. Tom is a hard worker and...
letter to the editor
Support Articles 3, 4 and 5
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 6:30pm
Dear Editor: As a business owner in the community I would like to speak about articles 3, 4 and 5. I support those articles. I feel that we need financial support for the school and for community assistance programs to help people in need. As these expenses continue to grow we will have to meet those financial responsibilities. There has been a lot of hard work from the Selectmen and Planning Board members to get on the table a compromise that will benefit all the people in the community. The...
letter to the editor
Know what you are voting for
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 6:15pm
Dear Editor: Article #3 on the warrant is to amend the “Land Use Ordinance Chapter 170.” The only public meeting to explain the warrant was on April 8. It was sparsely attended. So I assume everyone knows what the “Land Use Ordinance, Chapter 170” is about. It took the code enforcement officer a good part of the meeting to explain it. If you look at the voting ballot, you will see two very short sentences with a yes or no box under it. Once you place your vote and continue to read further down...
letter to the editor
Voting yes on 3, 4 and 5
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 6:00pm
Dear Editor: The sign of a good compromise is that each side walks away a little disappointed having given up something of value to assure a comprehensive agreement. People are passionate about things that they value most --- the harbor is one. The debate surrounding the east side was characterized by finger pointing and hyperbole about responsibility for divisiveness. Some characterized the 18-month vetting process as an attempt by a small group to block the will of the voters. This is...
letter to the editor
A sense of place
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 5:45pm
Dear Editor: Retaining our sense of place and identity has immense value. This is a major reason people come here; they want a community that looks, feels, smells and acts like Maine. Nobody wants to visit a place that could be any given area in the United States. The sense of identity is of symbolic importance and allows all visitors, and all of us, a sense of security. Losing identity is like losing a loved one. A place can grow without destroying the things that people come here for, to...
letter to the editor
Support the east side park
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 5:45pm
Dear Editor: We are very grateful to the dedicated group of concerned residents of Boothbay Harbor who stepped forward to form the Friends of the Harbor and have created a plan to turn the Cap’n Fish’s property into a public waterfront park for all to enjoy. It will be so nice to have a place for the public to access the waterfront within the harbor to launch kayaks, have picnics, watch the fireworks and enjoy many other activities as well as the view. Maine has so little waterfront that is...
letter to the editor
Decision time: Vote for Rosemary
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 5:30pm
Dear Editor: Why, you ask, should you vote for Rosemary Bourette? There are many, many reasons. She has lived in this region for over 40 years. She is not quite a “local” by very close. She has raised her children here, both attending and graduating from Boothbay Region High School. She and her husband, George, ran a very successful restaurant, The Carriage House, for year. She knows what it is to work hard and meet a payroll. Rosemary works diligently to preserve the history of Boothbay Harbor...

A vote of confidence for Michael Tomko
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 5:15pm
Dear Editor: As a resident of Southport I will not be able to vote for Michael Tomko for Boothbay Harbor Selectman, but if you can, the community of Boothbay Harbor would be well served by Michael’s reelection. My husband and I have owned a home on Southport since 2000 and I met Michael shortly after returning from overseas to live year-round on the peninsula in 2010. I would be hard pressed to name anyone I have met over the last 19 years who is more fervent in his support of this region than...
letter to the editor
Pursuing public access in Edgecomb
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 5:00pm
Dear Editor: Public access to the shore and water in Edgecomb continues to be on the mind of many inland residents of Edgecomb. A few pieces have become available over the last few years but due to the slowness of the bureaucratic process, opportunities have been missed and possible suitable lots have sold privately. I truly feel bad for the selectmen who are charged with doing the will of the residents when the most vocal people have their own private access and have not interest in providing...

Traveling the sea of life to make harbors of peace
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 4:45pm
Dear Editor: In Maine it is common for many friends and fellow travelers of life to have made it to the harbor of peace. On a coastline of 5,000 miles that weaves in and out of harbors, there is a large population of people who spend time sharing and teaching the younger members of Maine to keep our state full of life in the ocean and on land. We often lose the younger citizens to other states for university education, but we wait with a hope filled heart for their return to raise their...

Tomko for selectman
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: “A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.” – Joe DiMaggio “It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.” – Zig Ziglar “A good leader can engage in debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.” -- Nelson Mandela These three quotes by...

Bernie
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 4:15pm
Dear Editor: Most people over 40 have no tuition debt and stable jobs. They paid in to Social Security and will be getting something back. Many still have access to quality health care. Their public schools were calm and competent. They trusted their elected officials and law enforcement. During hard times, they were able to rely on supportive families, adequately funded government assistance, and perhaps even faith in God. Now, compare all that with what is left to those under 40. Many of the...
letter to the editor
I want my government back
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: I want my government back, the good old one that guaranteed my rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness or property . . . same thing. The protective one that did not allow any form of government to exist that thwarts those rights. The one that would not legislate new government departments full of regulators, inspectors and enforcers whose mission is to search my home and enforce fees and fines and punish me for violations or non-compliance of regulations and...
letter to the editor
A wonderful idea for a wonderful place
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 3:45pm
Dear Editor: As I look forward to my annual return to Boothbay Harbor in just a few weeks, I am thinking about what makes the harbor so special to me and why I keep coming back. I have been coming to the harbor since 1947 and remember it before motels and busloads of tourists, which I realize have helped the harbor prosper, but to me there are enough of those now. What draws me back every year is the salty fresh air, the ocean, the rugged coast, the independent hardworking fishermen and...
letter to the editor
Keep socialism and capitalism
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: It seems that both capitalism and socialism are becoming dirty words. This is too bad as both are needed in a healthy society. People need an incentive to work to improve their lives, benefit society and be adequately compensated for doing so. We do not need a population waiting, like a bunch of farm animals, to be fed. This eventually becomes unsustainable for the system and is not good for people. This helped cause the downfall of the Soviet Union. The people did not do too well...
letter to the editor
Rosemary Bourette: A new voice for the board
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 3:15pm
Dear Editor: The current Board of Selectmen is made up of interested community members that have come here to live, many times having retired to have a second home and enjoy the beauty of our area. Many local members of the community do not have the opportunity to become involved in politics because many are working two jobs to be able to live here. It isn’t because they don’t care! We need a new voice, a voice that has lived in this town for over 40 years, knows the need to improve and...
letter to the editor
A vote for Merritt Blakeslee as trustee
Monday, April 15, 2019 - 3:00pm
Dear Editor: I am writing to urge Boothbay Harbor voters to support Merritt Blakeslee for trustee for the Boothbay Region Water District. Before I retired from the Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission earlier this year I worked with Merritt and the rest of the West Harbor Pond Association on one of the most significant and intractable environmental issues on the peninsula. The failure of the one-of-a-kind, 120-year-old saltwater siphon under the Route 27 causeway resulted a growing dead...
letter to the editor
Approve east side warrant articles
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 6:00pm
Dear Editor: As an east side business owner, I would like to express some thoughts on the upcoming zoning vote. I am completely supportive of the efforts to protect portions of the east side from future development, specifically Sea Pier and Cap’n Fish’s. However, I do not feel those protections should extend to the rest of the east side. The region needs updated tourist facilities, increased tax dollars to support schools and other infrastructure needs within the community, as well as jobs...
letter to the editor
A vote for Merritt Blakeslee for Water District
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 5:45pm
Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Merritt Blakeslee, who is running as a write-in candidate for the Board of Trustees of the Boothbay Region Water District. I have known Merritt for a few years now and believe he is highly qualified for the position and experienced. While I did not have direct involvement with Merritt as he was diligently working on the West Harbor Pond siphon, I certainly observed the progress of getting this important water project completed. He was also a...

Excellent performance
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 5:30pm
Dear Editor: The Jazz Ambassadors, the U.S. Army’s premier jazz band, wowed a packed hour April 5 at the Opera House in Boothbay Harbor. Using the standard big band five saxophone, four trumpet, three trombone, four rhythm format, the band navigated Quincy Jones’ arrangement of “I Believe in You” with the precision of the Air Force’s Blue Angels. They flawlessly played a program that ranged from an updated standard, “Avalon,” to the breakneck, post-bebop “Fingers” by Thad Jones. The mood ranged...

All boats float on a rising tide
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 5:15pm
Dear Editor: I love Boothbay Harbor. This community is my home, it’s where I’m raising my children, it’s where I earn a living, and I hope to live here for the rest of my life. I think all of us that choose to live here have a deep love for this beautiful place and collectively, we all want Boothbay to prosper and remain attractive to residents and visitors alike. We have some serious challenges, chief among them a lack of opportunity for the average working family. You may not have experienced...
letter to the editor
Bravo to Jazz Ambassadors
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 5:00pm
Dear Editor: Last night (April 5), I attended the Jazz Ambassadors concert at the Opera House in Boothbay Harbor. The jazz, the musicians, the variety of the program, the recognition of those who served in the armed forces, the audience singing along with the national anthem, and listening to the soloist sing “America the Beautiful” at the finale; all of it brought us to our feet, giving them thunderous applause that they truly deserve. Those of us who are lucky to live in Boothbay Harbor,...

We stand for the people, but not the children
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 4:45pm
Dear Editor: Each state has its own child protective agencies and protective laws. Yes, that system has worked the majority of times, but each has its list of children who died at the hands of their parents and foster parents. Never in the history of this country did our federal government steal thousands of babies, toddlers and elementary age children from mothers and fathers, without a record of their ultimate destination. The rationale offered, about children not belonging in prison has...
letter to the editor
We need Ken F-Fitch
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: We are writing to add our enthusiastic support for Ken F-Fitch, who is a candidate for the Select Board of Boothbay Harbor. Ken’s past experience in education (20 years as a teacher) and real estate (17 years as a realtor), his intelligence, his love for this community, and his ability to understand and articulate the essence of any issue, all suggest he would be an outstanding contributor to the board. But more than that, we have come to know Ken as a person of boundless energy...

Vote for Tomko
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 4:15pm
Dear Editor: I am pleased that Mike Tomko is running for reelection as selectman. I have observed Mike’s involvement and attitude at Board and Budge Committee meetings, as well as various other meetings. Mike does the work and I believe acts in the best long-term interest of Boothbay Harbor. As a former selectman, I know what the job entails and know that Mike will represent all our residents to the best of his ability. John O’Connell West Boothbay Harbor

Still a net gain after fine
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: As April 15 is fast approaching, I have had my calculator out and warmed up. Since I do not qualify as an admissions charging 501(c) in the IRS's view, I have paid taxes. In the court settlement last week, a paltry $18,000+ was the fine handed down for filling vernal pools and other environmental destruction. The gross arrogance of the quotes regarding this disrespect for environmental, local laws and procedures seems to be an ongoing theme. This same outfit was found to be using...

Vote for east side zoning articles
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 3:45pm
Dear Editor: Having attended just about all of the Planning Board, Advisory Group and Select Board meetings discussing east side zoning changes, I find that the decision to support the three warrant articles on May 3 is an easy one. These articles protect the working waterfront and add view corridors in new development, while providing the existing non-conforming properties the ability to upgrade and rehabilitate by making them conforming properties. Even the increased height allowance is...

An Act to Establish a Green New Deal for Maine
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: It’s published! Maine’s version of the Green New Deal (GND), presented by Chloe Maxmin of Nobleboro, is now Maine Legislative Document No. 1282. It is not as ambitious as the federal bill. It is based heavily on the issues raised when Chloe was door-to-door canvassing in the 2018 elections and is crafted from the perspective of rural communities in Maine and the labor movement. It is a very practical bill aimed at jump-starting significant action to reduce our carbon footprint in a...

Yes on 3, 4, 5, Bourette and Minerich
Monday, April 8, 2019 - 3:15pm
Dear Editor: Hospitality was never a threat in the harbor. The existing east side zoning restrictions were invoked 30 years ago to stop one thing only: the loss of our commercial waterfront, including hospitality, to private homes (including condos). The fastest method at hand was a “marine use only” lock down. It stopped condos but it also trapped the existing hotels and restaurants in a “non-conforming” time-warp discouraging investment. It did not stop harbor-front conversions of commercial...

Consider the consequences
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 6:00pm
Dear Editor: We have been year-round residents on the east side of Boothbay Harbor since 2004. We were attracted to this location because of its proximity to the harbor. We are less than ¾ mile from the footbridge and walk, ride our bikes or drive on Atlantic Avenue twice a day, virtually every day of the year. We enjoy the views that we currently have of the working waterfront and the traditional, old Maine flavor. In our opinion, this is what attracts people, both residents and tourists, to...

Relax, it’s just politics
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 5:30pm
Dear Editor: First, you hear a story about your enemy that is filled with perceived abominations, and you gleefully tell all the world about it because your gut tells you it is true, even though you know the evidence is circumstantial. Then, some information comes your way that suggests the story might be wrong, or maybe not as bad as it was made out to be. Your first thought is charitable, “Thank God, that person was not as bad as I thought.” Your better nature gives you a chance to right your...

Thanks for your donation
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 5:00pm
Dear Editor: I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who donated to the American Red Cross recent blood drives at the YMCA and Boothbay Region High School in my honor. Your generosity was overwhelming in so many ways. Please continue to donate. It means so much to so many. Also, thank you to those unable to donate, but reached out with prayers, best wishes and support. You have help me hardened my resolve. Don Strout Boothbay

Vote for Rosemary
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: Rosemary B. Bourette is running for a seat on the Boothbay Harbor Board of Selectmen. She has lived and worked in the region for over 40 years and has been involved in many aspects of this community. Rosemary and her husband George owned and operated the Carriage House restaurant in East Boothbay for many years. Rosemary is a wife, mother (both daughters were educated in the Boothbay Region school system) and a very proud grandmother. She is employed at a local business. Rosemary...

13th annual Caribbean Night concert
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: The members of Pan Fried Steel Band extend our warmest thanks to all of our old friends and supporters, as well as our many new friends, who joined us at the Opera House on Saturday, March 23 for the 13th annual Caribbean Night. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Your enthusiasm and energy made the start of our gig season a joyful experience for us, and we thank you for coming out and helping us celebrate the end of a long, harsh winter. Our program this year was dedicated to...

Brady’s and candidate nights
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: I would like to give a shout out to Jen Jones and Brady’s Restaurant for hosting the upcoming “Meet the Candidates” evenings from 5:30 to 7 on each of the four Wednesdays prior to the election on May 3. What a wonderful way to meet the candidates up close and personal, to get to know them better and to ask the hard questions. Healthy elections depend on voters who are informed and independent. Endorsements are always nice to have but are no replacement for face time with the...

Water District write-in candidate
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 3:00pm
Dear Editor: Two weeks ago, I learned that, with Harry Pinkham’s retirement, one of the two Boothbay Harbor seats on the board of trustees of the Boothbay Region Water District is open. No candidate has filed to run for the seat, and the filing deadline has passed. I, Merritt Blakeslee, want to fill that seat as a write-in candidate. I live on West Harbor Pond and have, since 2014, worked hard on the water issues that affect the Pond. I have been intensively involved with the replacement of the...

Confused?
Monday, April 1, 2019 - 3:00pm
Dear Editor: Too many lives lost to overdoses. Too many lives ruined by drugs. Why then did we legalize marijuana? Was this supposed to help? Why do we oppose securing our border to reduce the flow of drugs into our country? It just doesn’t make sense. Edward J. Polewarczyk Wiscasset

Small town beauty
Thursday, March 28, 2019 - 7:30am
Dear Editor: It was with great sadness that I read the obituaries of both Pete Mundy and Martha McKown in my last Register. I counted them both as friends, but they were two people of such different backgrounds as you could ever meet anywhere. However, in Boothbay, and in small towns across New England, you meet people from all walks of life, with money/without money, with schooling/without schooling, handy or not, sophisticated or not. Pete helped many people with his generosity. Martha helped...

Aspects of change
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 4:45pm
Dear Editor: I consider myself lucky to have been born in Boothbay Harbor. Early on I became aware of the crowds of summer visitors, coming from all over the world, to see our town. My father, Wolcott Webster, called this region “God’s Country” and so do I, having lived here all my life (79 years and still counting!). Over time, I have witnessed seasons of change, such as the idea in the ’60s that the inner harbor area should be filled in to the footbridge allowing the possibilities of a...

Thank you FISH workers
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 4:30pm
Dear Editor: Friends in Service Helping the FISH Program: I started this program 19 ½ years ago. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the drivers and coordinators of the many drives we have done. We have lost quite a few drivers and clients over time and I have been so very thankful for everyone of you. I’d love to also thank my wonderful coordinators that helped me with connecting the drivers with the riders. Hoping I haven’t forgotten even one: Barbara Chase, Verna Werlla, Mauve O’...

Protect your view
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 4:15pm
Dear Editor: In the beginning, the developer’s paid planner, Dan Bacon, proposed that the town allow increased building heights while requiring view corridors (November 2017). Since then, the Planning Board
voted no three times
— saying no to bundling the issues of height increase and view corridor. Our current limit of 30 feet height allows 2 1/2 stories. The proposed 35 feet height also allows only 2 1/2 stories. There is no development hardship as the exact same square footage is...

Support Blakeslee as write-in for Water District board
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 4:00pm
Dear Editor: I would like to thank the hard work of many fellow West Harbor Pond Watershed Assoc. board members and past members who started many years ago to gather the scientific and other technical information on water quality in West Harbor Pond. After several years work, about three years ago, a siphon replacement committee was formed and Merritt Blakeslee took on the leadership role to get us through the design phase and implementation. It was wonderful to read his recent article in the...

Protecting our workers
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 3:45pm
Dear Editor: They say that safety regulations are written in the blood of workers. While business owners and managers protest that they are concerned about the safety and welfare of their hired hands; they have, through their highly paid lobbyists, done their best to rig the game in their favor over the past few decades. The worker’s compensation system, implemented in the U.S., state by state between 1911 and 1948, basically created a “no fault” system in which employees are covered for...

Muslim heroes, New Zealand and WWI
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 3:30pm
Dear Editor: The beginning heroic act was made by two Muslim greeters welcoming faithful prayers. “Good morning brother,” and the terrorist response was two shots ending their lives. The next hero the world heard was the voice of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announcing the hateful event perpetrated by the person known as “terrorist,” noting he had attacked all of New Zealanders; not just Muslims “for they are us and we are them.” She is a leader who put a cloth of humanity on us all.

The real deal
Monday, March 25, 2019 - 3:00pm
Dear Editor: As always in a campaign, some candidates like to paint a picture that they aren’t running against anyone but running for themselves. At the end of the day though, you should know who all the candidates are and what they stand for so you can make an informed decision. There are definitely differences in the race for the board of selectmen. Here’s what I can tell you. If you would like change and are tired of what happened to our community during two years of discussion around the...

Another great Leap
Tuesday, March 19, 2019 - 8:00am
Dear Editor: We would once again like to thank the very brave and generous plungers/fundraisers at this year's Leprechaun Leap (formerly Passion Plunge) held last Wednesday, March 13 at Hendrick's Head Beach, Southport. It seemed like a benign afternoon until arriving at the beach and facing a stiff SW wind directly onshore. There were no double dippers that day as a result. We are fairly sure that this was the 17th annual event as we believe the first one was 2003 and is the original cold...
