John Lloyd, a surveyor for Titcomb Associates of Falmouth, works Thursday in the canal that runs the length of the Bates Mill in Lewiston. Company president David Titcomb said he was "not at liberty to say" what the project was or who paid for the survey.

1. My ancestors were not raised on this community - my parents were the first from either isde of the family to raise a family here...
2. the archives are useless, i could not find anything on there other than the most recent death of a woman, doubtful thats you're uncle...
3. Why not just give the name and circumstances, instead of getting sarcastic and bitter...sure would be easier to make your point with facts vs sarcasm and a lack of tact...
4. I can't help but wonder why you get away with telling people to shut up on here and patti doesn;t even warn yo to be respectful....what kind of dirt have you got on someone at the newspaper that they fear you of all people?

tron, I have no doubt when the comment was made about a mausoleum it was made without realizing that some people may have been killed in the canal and woudl have relatives reading this blog. For that blunder I have no doubt he feels deep regret for having offending you, but why not cut him some slack. As there are no bodies in the canal currently his comment about it not being a mausoleum was not as offensive as you have tried to make it.
As I was not aware that any of my wife's distant relatives might have died in the canal perhaps you could share with me their name and the instances under which they died. I always enjoy learning more about history particularly that wich is so close to home.
You posted a while back with pretty bitter words at the city regarding the canal but never mentioned this personal story and had you done so it might have made many of us much more respectful and understanding of your comments.

Thanks for the support, Tman, but I won't even attempt to embelish my statement. I stand by it. The picture in the paper is of a man walking in the bed of a canal; nothing else.

probably one of your ancestors that killed him. Look it up in the Sun Journal archives.

Water is NOT the only thing that could go in that canal...over the years there have been various proposals for other uses or multi-uses - it could be a potential project being considered. Or it could simply be the folks who now have an option on the Bates Mill #5 checking to see how solid the canal walls are given the building they might decide to place right next to it...the walls of the canal are built with granite and gravel fill, not a solid concrete mass.

Sounds pretty cryptic. It's not a mausoleum for Heaven's sake; it's a freakin' canal.

Does that make it any less a canal? Where does the article mention that the surveryor was looking for bodies. Have you ever considered being a little less caustic and combative in your posts? My flippancy was not directed at you or your uncle, but how would anyone expect you to know that; you never venture into second and third level thought. It's all first level. I'll go toe to toe with you any day, T...but just remember; the Pirate does not start arguments. He participates in them, but he doesn't start them. You and your ilk do that.

just a canal, it makes it a killing field. This just goes to show how you right wing wackos lack any degree of sensitivity. And there is not way you can deny being the genesis of this dispute, your flippant remark was completely unnecessary.

So, the great Tron is now the "flippancy" police? Jumpin' 3#%^&* Judas, where does this end?
The parrot, your liberal intellectual equal, sez that he's of the firm belief that you, Tron, could walk into an empty room and get into an argument.

...no need to explain yourself to a bunch of insensitive buffoons. Reconstructing the canal is obviously to make it "safer", but this concept is lost on those who drag their knuckles on the ground when they walk. ;-)
