A humorous take on the man cave

To the editor:

Man cave: a place where men go to hide. There are various reasons we men choose to have these little places. The “No women allowed” sign on the entrance gives a clue to one of our reasons for claiming our little piece of heaven.

To the editor:

The more I learn about Wolfden Resources’ proposal to rezone 374 acres of its property near Patten to allow metallic mining, the more I realize that Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) approval of this request could lead to permanent pollution in not only the Katahdin Region, but also elsewhere Maine.

To the editor:

Each day I watch our old track of over 40 years being torn up, and the beginning of our new track takes shape and it brings a flood of memories from when I trained and competed on this oval in high school.
