ATV Club wants use of public road

To the Editor:

The X-tra Mile ATV Club asked for and received permission to use sections of road. After making contact with all affected residents, in person or with a notice of our intent along with contact numbers and cross copy to the chief of police, town manager and select board, with no negative feedback, our select board voted 5-0 in favor to approve. So we went to work building over one mile of new trail with all volunteer labor and donations from two local contractors and gravel pit owners and equipment from a local rental company.

Ready for the next step

To the Editor:

In response to Our Views in the 1-06-11 of your paper, "Paris must move on:"

There is a need to move on. At the same time, however, any air travel passenger knows that before moving off the plane, it is critical to make sure one has all one's correct things, #1; to be clear about the next leg of the travel plan, #2; and to watch for information heading travelers in the right direction, #3.

For the traveler, it is not enough, in fact it would be unwise, to simply move on.

Regency of Maine overcharging on lot rents

To the Editor:

To Regency Corporation, 40 N. 4th St., Carbondale, CO 81623

Let it be known that I/we as low or fixed income tenants believe our landlord, Regency of Maine, Inc., is over charging for lot rents in our present low-income economy.

Regency’s lot rents are way out of line to all of the area’s local trailer parks. Instead of wanting to charge more for lot rent, Regency should be making reductions in lot rent and dropping pet fees. (What are pet fees, anyway?)

Letter to Paris selectmen

To the Editor:

An Open Letter to the Paris Board of Selectmen:

Discussion of homelessness and poverty have taken place at the Paris Selectmen’s meetings with some even suggesting that town funds, raised for other purposes, be diverted into some sort of social engineering program above and beyond what the town already does.
