Dear Editor, I grew up in Saco and have been a member of this community since 2004. I married into the Glasgow lifestyle and could not be more proud to live anywhere in the world.

When I look back on my youth my academic and athletic successes are completely intertwined. Academics contributed to my future...

WHY NOW? In 2013, voters were asked to approve a facilities bond in the amount of $2,000,000. That bond called for the same Scottie track and field improvements that are being requested in this bond (as well as paving the High School parking lot, enclosing the commons area at GHS and installation of a turf softball field). That bond failed with 41 percent of 2,082 voters in favor of the project. Since that time, the Glasgow School District has kept this project in the pipeline, patiently waiting for a more opportune time (Keystone pipeline to g... Full story

Strategies employed this year to recruit new bus drivers include the purchase of an “E” Bus, which is used on the Nashua/East route and doesn’t require a CDL l...
