Thank you Oxford, Otisfield
May 26, 2011 12:00 amTo the Editor:
I want to thank the Oxford and Otisfield residents, businesses and postal employees who pitched in to make the May 14, National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive an overwhelming success. It is extremely gratifying to see the community and the Oxford postal team work together to restock the local food pantry shelves and provide assistance to some of our neighbors who may need a helping hand.

RSU 16, where have we been and more importantly, where are we going? This past week I have attended two RSU 16 school committee meetings dealing with the upcoming budget and left both meetings totally frustrated with the people we have chosen to guide our schools. There are so many issues that it’s hard to focus on where to start but I’ll give it a try. Like it or not, Minot, Mechanic Falls and Poland decided to enter into an RSU arrangement a few years back.

Let’s finish the job

Saturday’s rain didn’t stop 20 good people from getting out and picking up litter on their streets and town roads. They are the real force of getting this idea going. Many thanks for your efforts.
Rather than set another date, would you as one person or a small group take an hour or two and clean up a part of a street or road and help us finish the job?
I did part of my street and will finish this week before the Memorial Day weekend.
This is a beautiful town, but like any other beautiful town it needs care.
Help each other in time of need

Response to Erica Burns: I have an advanced degree and have studied poverty, history, government and human psychology in-depth. It is too simplistic to say of welfare recipients that “it was acts of their own volition that caused them to need help in the first place.” Poverty is a social construct that is comprised of many factors.
Heartbroken

During the years I lived in West Paris, I tried to have a flower garden. Between the poor soil and Ellis mowing them off (he said he couldn’t see them) I did not have much luck. Near the end of our living there, I did get some peonies.
Many thanks

Many thanks to you and the Advertiser Democrat for all the help and support for the May 21 Norway Cleanup Day. Thanks to the businesses and organizations and individuals who have agreed to help. Frankly, I am overwhelmed but I know that together we can do a great job on May 21.

In the May 5 edition of edition of “Our Views‚ Brown ouster predictable, avoidable” is a sarcastic (DEP does not stand for Department of Expedited Permits) and sophomoric remark (you do not report the specifics of “... his record and public stances ... .”
County DOT projects
May 19, 2011 12:00 amTo the Editor:
I read with interest your story on DOT funds in the 2012-13 work plan for Oxford County and see that you overlooked the single largest project benefiting the county – the planned reconstruction of 5.9 miles of Route 302 at an estimated cost of $7,400,000. It was easy to miss because it is listed under Bridgton in the Cumberland County section of the plan, although the majority of the project is in Fryeburg.
