I'm sure you know about roxbury pond, and that theres also a little pond next to it called garland pond..or "little ellis" (Roxbury is also called Big Ellis/Ellis). My family has a camp on Garland pond, and I'm not saying this is the reason why this certain person doesn't want the windmills, but I do know why my family does not. Garland pond does not have electricity at all! You just can't. Well, the windmills were going on the side of the mountain that we (Garland pond camp owners) would be able to see... as well as roxbury pond owners, too. So, the windmills would be put in on the scenery we do have AND PAY FOR. Sound carries very well over water and where many people go to have a quiet relaxing week/weekend at camp, it would be altered by the noise... maybe not very loud noise, but still, we'd be affected...YET nobody from the pond would be able to benefit from this (for we don't have electricity, nor can we, even if we wanted it). Even though Roxbury CAN have electricity, maybe he doesn't, and this still doesn't give the right that we, camp owners, are not allowed to vote or have a say AT ALL to this issue, or any others even though we'd be affected by it just as much, if not more than others who have houses in the town. Everyone should be able to have a say...Like what was said in another post- this is taxation without representation. If camp owners are not allowed to have a say-we shouldn't have to pay.
Also, I'm for getting wind turbines, just not in this particular situation.

I'm pretty sure Sheldon lived in the area his whole life.. or at least most of it. I'm not sure sure about Day. So, i'm not sure this fits into your statistic about "newcomers".

First off.. The rumford police are always out. I'm not sure where you're looking, andy1957, but they ARE around. There's more than one cop on duty (not including the person answering calls), in Rumford, and the cops do more than patrol the streets, they need to go inside and write paperwork, bring people in and talk with them. Then, theres someone there answering calls.. of course some will be inside. Being a cop isn't just patrolling. If they arrest or pull over someone they need to document it. Unlike other towns/cities, they have to do that themselves. I think they do a pretty good job (maybe too good) at patrolling. Also, the Mcaffrey person you're talking about is 20! I'm sure he knows music. He wasn't saying anything bad about them. A 22 yr old tough guy (or so you state yourself, andy) and a man in his late 40's do not often listen to pop songs. But to each their own! another thing.. your 2nd issue isn't even relevent since it happened in mexico. or maybe I'm not understanding that fully?
Either way, it's sad and scary that this happened.
And I agree, the sketch looks like his brother... or any other man with long hair. haha
my family has changed their
my family has changed their perminant address and we were still not allowed to have a say...so that doesn't always work.
