MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 22, 2024
My husband and I have been walking on our local beach for a decade, going from our house near Town Landing for a mile or two, and back. The walking route has been one of the best parts about living in our neighborhood. Earlier this year, new owners of a property right in the middle of our route posted no trespassing signs and have shouted at us from the cliff above the beach that we were on their property. Most of us want to live in a place where neighbors are friendly and say hello to one another rather than “Get off my property!” I hope the outcome of this lawsuit gives us the clear right to get back to not bothering anyone at all while we and our dog get a bit of fresh air and exercise. ~ Marian Starkey, Falmouth
