Dress Code

Mr.Landry is the most unhappy man I have ever met. If everything in town does not go his way he complains.I have never heard him give anyone a complainment. So if he does not like the way people who work all day come to the selectmans meeting right from work without supper then he should stay home. I see nothing wrong weith the way these men dress. Keep up the good work.

Need for high school to play basketball

The teams should be able to use the courts at the Farmington Community Center while they are unable to use the high school because of the renovations there. The old High school used the community center back when I went to High School and we never had a problem so what is the problem now. That is closer to home than Livermore Falls and even closer than Wilton . Think about it and use the community center to make it easier for the kids,parents and families and friends.

Flags erected in Byron

I have a lot of respect for the flag and what it represents FREEDOM. However I also believe in wind power as we need to make changes in the United States and try to save money. Wind power is one way to do it. I see nothing wrong with putting turbines on high mountain tops to get the power to prduce electricity for everyone use. Maybe some people do not like to look at them but what one likes someone else does not and you cannot PLEASE everyone in the state of Maine. Learn to live with it.

Gas Fraud at the pumps

I hope they check the pumps for calibration in Farmington,Wilton,Jay and Livermore Falls because when I have bought gas recently at some of these area stations I have thought I was paying more than I should have been paying and that when the pump register a gallon the price did not correspond right. When I questioned the store I was told that they pump was right. Now it makes me wonder and glad I no longer have a car to gas up. There are alot of gas crooks out there that cheat people for their own profit and it needs to be stopped

Canton man falls

Jeremy you are a very kind child and you deserve to be praised for what you did for Danny Waite. I am sorry to hear about Danny and hope he will be okay. It will be a long road to recovery but Danny is a fighter and will make it. My prayers go out to Danny and his family. Also Jeremy you are a brave,kind and considerate ten year old. I do not know Jeremy but do know the Stevens and the Waites as well as the Blanchettes. My family and I used to live in Canton and most of these kids went to school with mine. Get well soon Danny and take it easy and do not overdue.

Accident

Mr.Willey needs to be held accountable for not abiding by the posted speed limit. It is sad that a young girls life was lost because he was speeding. Yes he must live with this for the rest of his life but he must be held accountable for it. He should lose his CDL license and pay a hefty fine and be made to do community service by speaking to other truckers and in schools about speeding when driving a tractor trailer or any motor vechile and abiding by the speeding laws. Be held accountable for his actions

Egg Recall Splinters

It is about time that something was done to make these two men and their cohorts to be held accountable for their actions. Also it is people like Glesser and Decoster who should be paying very large taxes to the united states government every year and not be allowed any deductions, If they pay what they should for taxes then the United States would not be in such a financial mess. Our debt problems would decrease quite a bit if people like these two men and our president, and members of congress paid what they should for taxes on their sky high salaries. Time to hold all these people accountable and make them pay what they should not what they want to pay.

Who is telling the truth

Who is telling the truth about the cheif?????I would quicker believe Ernie Steward or his fellow officers than Mr.Chaousis. It seems that Mr.Chaousis has made alot of errors in town and I am glad that I do not live or pay taxes to Livermore Falls. The town has gone to the DOGS and ihas become a place for DRUGGIES?DEALERS and drunks and people who lie to get a free ride off town welfare.

John Jenkins

John would make the best governor for Maine and he will get my vote. I do not have money to help him with the campaign because I am elderly living on a small social security check each month with barely enough to pay rent and other essentials. He did alot for Lewiston and Auburn and can do a great job for Maine as governor. So lets get on the band wagon and put him in as Governor. Good Luck John my friend

Witness videoVA shooting

I think the video Mr.Stevens has should be released to the public so we can all decide if this was necessary shooting. I hope Mr Stevens shares the video with Mr.POPloskis family because if their are grounds for a lawsuit by his family then they should have this to use in court. Sometimes the police are to quick to make decisions and take a life unnecessarily which in this case I believe was the case. Now a little girl has no fathr and probably is deeply hurt by all this. Someone needs to be held accountable.

I feel that tiffany hamlyn

I feel that tiffany hamlyn got off to lightly with only three years in jail and six years probation. She has shown no remorse as far as I can see. Miss Hamilton cannot be brought back but it sure leaves a big void in a little boys life and the family too. Ten years without a license is far to short she should never have a license to drive again in my way of thinking. Yes her family and friends are enablers for her drinking and they all need counseling to learn not to enable her or anyone.

I as a resident of

I as a resident of farmington for many years do not feel that the students at umf should be allowed to vote in farmington or in maine. They should have to vote in the town or state where they came from as they are not legal residence of farmington as they only arew here during the school year. They do not pay taxes to the town to help support the town finances.Maybe they shop here but that money benefits the business and the state taxes not the town taxes. Nothing against them for getting an education here but they should not be allowed to vote here.This is my personal opinion and I am elderly but I stand believe

Engine brakes are a safety

Engine brakes are a safety issues on large trucks and are necessary to slow atractor trailer down on a hill or on icey roads. They are not generally that noisey however some people always have to complain about something. One gentlemen so called in Jay is a chroic complaier about everything that does not suit his fancy and I will not name him but most people know who he is. If engine brakes are not use where necessary there could be more serious accidents in town and someone could get killed as a result. Then how would people feel about that issue? Loaded trucks do not stop on a dime as they are much heavier than a car. THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES?????????

DO NOT LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IS

DO NOT LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IS NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY. IT KILLS BRAIN CELLS AND MAKES PEOPLE VERY FORGETFUL. IT RUINS THEIR LIVES AND EVENTUALLY LEADS TO PEOPLE TAKING MORE DANGEROUS DRUGS. WE NEED TO GET RID OF IT ALL TOGETHER WHICH IS GOING TO BE HARD TO DO. HOWEVER THE DRUG ENFORCMENT AND POLICE ARE TRYING VERY HARD TO GET RID OF IT. IT RUINS LIVES AND FAMILIES AND SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE TO OUR YOUNG CHILDREN.

Sorry to learn of Linda Masons illnes. I wish her well and will add her to my prayer list along with her family. It is nice to see that some of the older firemen still get together to help the community. They have always done a greaty job.

When all is said and done

When all is said and done the taxpayers of Livermore Falls will not see anything but a rise in the property tax because of having to buy the parts needed to add to county for them to dispatch and hiring someone to do the paperwork for the police department. Also the county tax will go up like every other year. The price for the county to dispatch is going to cost more than for the town to have continued to do it. So taxpayers you will have gained nothing except higher tax bills in bad economic times and high unemployment. Time to wake up and smell the coffee and do more research before you jump from the frying pan to the fire. I also have heard that Northstar and the hospital which owns NorthStar plans to have the ambulance service dispatching done from Franklin County where all the dispatching for them is done. This makes the best sense for them and for the people in the community. To bad that the DUMP was more important than thre local dispatch service.

Crosswalks are made for a

Crosswalks are made for a reason and should be used. If you need to talk on the cell phone stay on the sidewalk and do it One needs to pay more attention to traffic coming from Main Street to Broadway as it is sort of a blind corner when turning. Sorry she got hit and hope she is okay. The college kids do not pay attention and seem to think they own the town. The lights down on Main Street are also there for a reason SAFETY but most of the kids do not use them they just walk out into traffic with no regard for the vechiles coming up the hill or down the street from in town.Last week a girl came out and walked right out in front of a tractor trailer coming down Main street toward Abbott Hill and when he stopped she was within a few inches of his front bumper and she just kept walking. She was lucky as these trucks cannot stop as quick as a car. Something needs to be done to make them use the crosswalk lights before someone gets hit or killed then they blame the driver.

It is not welective

It is not welective enforcement it is the law and Joel Batzell has gotten alot of help with the buiklding but he expects everything handed to him on a silver platter for nothing. Well to begin with the building at 103 Bridge street in west farmington the former Lyons Garage where cars were repaired for yearsa should never have been allowed to been made over for people to live in. I have known of joel Batzell for many many years and he has always been a mental case because of drugs and alchol use like many others in the state but he never has tried to improve his life and become a productive tax paying citizen. He continues to add junk to the yard over there so it looks like the town dump and is an eyesore for all to see as they go across the bridge. It is time that the town official and the judge shut the place down and had the mess cleaned up and the building destroyed. If one cannot help themselves no one else can help them either .

I feel very sorry for

I feel very sorry for Mr.Calls loss. I hope Brandon Pellitier spends along time in jail and is never allowed to have a license again in his lifetime. He is an irresponsible person who shows no value for others life. I realize the money will not bring back Sharon Call but it will help with the expenses incurred. My thoughts and prayers are with the Call family.

Time warner does not hsve

Time warner does not hsve phone service when the cable goes down. I know because I used to have them for phone service. It is cheaper and better for long distances calling than FAIRPOINT but when the cable goes out so does the phone. I cannot believe that the dump was more important to the townspeople than the dispatch service. It will cost the town more for the county to dispatch than done locally and the county dispatch does not know the town as well as the local dispatch does. So there is going to be alot of screwups when they dispatch and the townspeople will regret what they did. However I guess the dump was more important to them but they will not save money as it will cost them more for the county to dispatch. Glad I do not live in Livermore Falls.

Wait for the toxocoly

Wait for the toxocoly report he without a doubt was under the influence of drugs. Christian is always in trouble and will never change lock him up and throw the key away then people on the highway will be safe. He has gotten away with to much in his life with only a slap on the wrist by the judge when he goes to court. So maybe this time the judge will make his stay forever. He should be charged with theft of the vechile and who will be responsible for the Bouchards medical bills if theowner of the vechile had no insurance on it. ?

Wind turbines are the best

Wind turbines are the best way to generate power and far better than being done by buying foriegn oil to do it. The blades are not noisy nor do they throw ice. This is all just accuses to try and prevent people from installing them and preventing a cheaper way to produce electricity and bring down the tax rate for property owners.

Sounds to me like

Sounds to me like Mr.Mazillagi is a compulsive LIAR and is trying all angles to avooid doing anything with the Opera House. It is time for the town of Norway to take the Opera House by eminent domain and either repair or tear it down before someone gets seriously hurt and sues the town. This has gone on far to long and needs to be addressed ASAP. Good Luck to the town of Norway

Tiffany Hamyln is quilty and

Tiffany Hamyln is quilty and should not be allowed to go free for what she did to Tiffany Hamilton. It is to bad a young 18 yearold and under the drinking age has ruined her life but she choose to do wrong and break the law so now she must pay the price. She should never have a drivers license again in her life time and should go to jail for a long time and when she gets out do many hours of community service. She needs to growup and face responsibility for her actions.

If it costs $27.00 an hour

If it costs $27.00 an hour for the county to dispatch for Livermore Falls how can it only cost $2349.00 dollars per year to make the change in what the town pays the county now. When I went to school at $27.00 dollars per hour it would be a very considerable more than $2349.00 per year as there are 24 hours in one day and in 365 days per yearthere are 8760 hours per year so8760 hours for a year times 27.00 per hour in my figures comes to$2365.20 for 365 days a year not $2349.00 as Mr. Chaousis stated. I think the people of Livermore Falls need to wakeup and keep this important service in the town and not shift to the county for them or Lisbon to dispatch as those people do not know the area as well as your own dispatchers do. This has been an ongoing item for years and the service needs to be kept local not put out to people who do not know the area like your dispatchers do. Do not add to the unemployment figures anymore keep these people working locally so they can support their families and contribute to the town tax roll. A four dollars increase sounds like alot but it will cost more the other way and with the people in town having taxes increased by Wausau closing it is unfair to these taxpayers. Wausau should be made to continue paying their taxes until they sell the mill to someone else and they should not be allowed to move any machinery out of the mill. It should be sold with the machinery intact.

I feel that these action are very wrong and disrespectful to our deceased loved ones. I hope they will be barred from all cemeteries in this area and other areas near here. Do your ghost hunting somewhere else you are STUPID and it is a bunch of hogwash and ridiculous.

A situation like this can be

A situation like this can be very frustrating to the emergency crews. The dispatcher needs to get more information from the caller on cell phone and the caller needs to be more specfic with details. I realize people panic and the adrenal is flowing fast but take time to be specfic with the information as it is critical to all involved. This was a sad situation and dispatchers need to work with the responders more. The problem being that the dispatchers are not local and do not know the area as well as the local dispatchers did. We knew the areas we dispatched for well and it was a lot easier to communicate with the firefighters,ambulance and other responders then than it is know. When a call for Dixfield as an example goes to Gray dispatch because it came from a cell phone then there is confuion and mistakes because the dispatch center is not familiar with the area and this needs to be worked on and corrected soon.

Six years in my mind is not

Six years in my mind is not long enough for what David Cook did to Matteo Hanson. He was an innocent child who could not care for himself and was at the hands of an idiot who killed him. David should get life for what he did not a slap on the wrist. David needs alot of help and should do life or at least more than six years. It was a horrible thing to happen to Matteo and his family.

What a waste of these two

What a waste of these two young mens lives just over a woman. How stupid can they be. They should be locked up for life and not be allowed an attorney at the states and taxpayers expense. Keep them in jail. I feel badly for the two men and their families that were killed for such a stupid reason.

What are theywaiting for? It

What are theywaiting for? It is obvious that the car struck Sharon Call. Brandon needs to be held accountable for his actions and he needs to lose his license permanently.. For a young person who has only had his license for three years the charges against him are appalling and he should not have a license ever again. He needs to growup and accept and prove responsibility.

I am appalled to think

I am appalled to think someone would do this to the free store. For many years our loving Dot Sanchas has provided alot of help to people with this store and santa helpers. Now her daughter Margaret McNeil has followed in her moms footsteps to continue this program which is what Dot wanted. Dot was like Mother Theresa and so is Margaret. This should never have happened and I hope they find the culprit and all the stuff the took. They need to be punished for what they did and the judge should not give them a slap on the wrist because if they needed help all they had to do was asked and Margaret would have helped them just as her Mom used to do. God Bless and hope this is solved soon.
