When the public safety building was first approved, it included a plan for an access road that cut through Memorial Park across the field and walking paths. Ken Johnson, a frequent park visitor, knew this would degrade the quality of the park that so many of us have come to appreciate. As a private citizen, […]

Turner excellent choice for Scarborough school board
I will be supporting Kristen Turner for Scarborough School Board this November. Although I do not know Kristen personally, I have always admired her poised and well-researched positions on social media. For those that were following the events that unfolded last year, Kristen’s name will certainly ring a bell. Kristen has developed a strong reputation […]
Forecaster article misled Falmouth residents
I am writing to correct information and impressions contained in The Forecaster’s Oct. 10 article regarding Falmouth’s recent communications survey. The article contained information that is incorrect and misleading, including giving the impression that the town had participated in an interview for the article when, in fact, the town was never contacted regarding the results of the survey.

Gleysteen a well-balanced choice for Scarborough Council
Why Betsy Gleysteen you ask? Betsy is an intelligent well-balanced woman who will work with constituents and fellow councilors to be responsible about spending for our community while maintaining the excellent educational system we have in our town.

Gleysteen’s business sense will benefit Scarborough
I am going to vote for Betsy Gleysteen for Scarborough Town Council. Betsy is very businesslike and, as the mother of two kids, will do a good job balancing all the requests for projects and money that the Town Council faces, with the ability of seniors and others to pay their increasing property tax bills. […]
Letter: Balentine misses the mark
The whole idea of climate activism is to get everyone, children and adults, together to work for a common goal. It is certainly not to create dissention.
Letter: Diamon missed the mark on Susan Collins
The idea that Collins is owned by anyone is absurd.
Letter: Partnerships can bolster pre-K programs
The Forecaster reported, “Cumberland-North Yarmouth district goes back to school with Wilson building study,” but did not address why the district chose to start a new public pre-K program during a time with such a shortage of space. The pre-K bill that passed in the Maine Legislature this year, LD 1043 (An Act To Establish […]
