NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND ABOUT

The November 16th meeting of the Eddington Selectmen was moved to the 23rd - one day after the (scheduled) November School Board meeting. Since the Selectmen's meeting will be held after the school board, it would appear Eddington will only be represented by TWO instead of three members. One of the items on the Selectmen's agenda is to appoint a replacement for Karen Clark, elected to the school board last March. Karen and her family have moved to Holden and, as a registered Holden voter, she can no longer legally represent Eddington on the school board.

If the Selectmen had met on the 16th (the third Tuesday of the month as scheduled), the Selectmen could have appointed Karen's replacement in time for the School Board meeting on the 22nd.

On Saturday, December 4 from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, MWPA (Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance) member Jeff Foltz will be at the Bangor Public Library and then at the Rockport Public Library from 3:30 PM to 5:00PM with his new historical novel, Birkebeiner.

This writer encourages all writers and readers to support this event. MWPA has a full calendar of events in the Portland area, but there are few events planned on a regular basis here in Eastern Maine. There are several writers in Eastern Maine who would appreciate and need the support of communities in this part of the state.

With SNOW season soon to be upon us, there are people looking for available snow PLOWING services at reasonable rates. Anyone having or knowing of such services in the Eddington and Clifton area are free to use the Comments section here to post the name, contact telephone number and rates for services (rates per plow/storm or rates per month). At least we have a better Maine Road this year. It will be interesting to see where the snow banks end up (aside from the ones at the end of the driveways).
