    McCormick an innovative thinker, finds solutions

    I’ve had the good fortune to work with Dale McCormick, off and on, since the early 1980s, and know her to be an innovative thinker who has a remarkable ability to find solutions to problems others see as unresolvable. She would be an outstanding member of the Augusta City Council. Her experience as a home […]

    Mayo-Wescott an experienced, proven leader

    I am writing in support of Mary Mayo-Wescott, candidate for at-large councilor for the city of Augusta. I first met Mary in 2006, shortly after she had founded The Friends of the Flatiron Building, for the purpose of saving, preserving and finding the highest and best use for this historic treasure. I worked closely with […]

    All China’s residents should have access to lake

    After attending several meetings regarding China’s purchase of The Cabins property on Lakeview Drive for the purpose of turning it into a public beach, I feel compelled to share my opinion. My husband and I purchased a home in this community three years ago without the knowledge that about 85 percent of the town’s residents […]

    Established beach, facilities good value for money

    I spent 10 years as a China selectman and was constantly asked “What do I get for my property tax?” The current lake access issue is one answer. The purchase of an established beach with facilities for changing clothes, cookouts, and bathrooms with a minimum slope to the water to accommodate physically handicap residents already […]

    China’s best beach under water of too-high lake

    I recently attended two public meetings about the shorefront property the town of China wants to buy with our money, and would like to offer a simpler solution to the problem. China already owns what is arguably the nicest beach in town: the shorefront at the head of the lake where The Landing is located. […]

    China Lake park about quality of life in town

    I would like share my view about some of the points being made about the property China is considering purchasing. I grew up in Winthrop, with a town beach and park, and would like to see the same for families in China. Increase in taxes: It’s my understanding that no one’s taxes can go up, […]

    The Oct. 14 editorial from the Tuscaloosa (Ala) News, “Venezuela finds U.S. a handy scapegoat,” struck home with me.
