  • Smoke-free

    Jun 30, 2011 12:00 am

    CLEAN AIR — Sebago Lake State Park's beaches and play areas are posted for Clean Air. How are Oxford Hills' beaches and play areas doing? Posting the group-gathering areas at town-owned ball parks, play grounds, parks and beaches as Smoke Free is not a requirement by law but it helps the 75 percent of the population that is non-smoking (and 100% of the children) to breathe fresh air. Call Healthy Oxford Hills for free outdoor signs for public areas, and help spread the word – Its about the smoke, not the smoker, 739-6222.

  • What can be done to make rental housing more affordable?

    Jun 30, 2011 12:00 am

    I'd like to say that the government should help these young families but that can be like a Band-Aid. Jobs would be a huge bonus. If there were more jobs in the area people would be more able to afford rent.
