  • Erwin says 'thanks'

    To the Editor:

    My many thanks to the members of the Norway Fire Department, their families, Vickie Schmidt and whoever else helped in the rescue of my llama Erwin on Saturday, July 23.

    At 22 years of ag, I wasn't sure he could survive the ordeal, but after a few days, he is eating grass, hay and grain, is guarding his sheep and is doing as well as can be expected.

  • Update from Mt. Abram

    To the Editor:

    I want to bring folks up to speed on recent events here at the mountain. On the evening of July 6, the Main Base Lodge was struck by lightning. It hit the roof of the west end of the building, over the company offices, surged through the building, exiting on the east end (closest to the summit chairlift) and sparked a major fire in the lodge. We are incredibly fortunate that the building was empty at the time and that no one was hurt.

  • Happy years at Kokosing

    To the Editor:

    I have to respond to the interview in this past week’s Advertiser with George Holden.

    I worked with his mother Iva Holden in the summer of 1948-1949 at Camp Kokosing in Waterford. She was the cook there. It was a girls’ camp at the time. Her sister Doris worked there for awhile.

    When we had time off in the afternoon, Mrs. Holden would take us down to her home in North Bridgton. All of her boys would be sitting on the front porch.

  • Thank you for your support

    To the Editor:

    The American Legion Post and Auxiliary 72 on Church Street in South Paris want to thank everyone who attended and worked on the benefit supper for George Brown. This shows how our community comes together in time of need. A very special thanks to 10-year-old Cassadi Chase who donated her 50/50 winnings of $60 to the George Brown benefit.

  • Thank you, Tammy and Julie

    To the Editor:

    Whoopie! The ninth annual Harrison Recreation 5K Run by the Lake was a great success due to the efforts of Race Director Tammy Anderson and her assistant Julie Murphy. Together both these ladies worked many hours going above and beyond preparing for this popular evening race while paying attention to each and every detail along the way.
