To the editor,
In his opinion piece, Mr. Waterman, vice chairman of the Select Board, alleged that he has followed the Tabor Academy hearings of the Hayden Library and new Campus Center. He singled out “certain Planning Board members” for criticism because they had “ chosen to make an issue out of Tabor parking” and they “insist on a number of places for electric car charges.”
Mr. Waterman, I take my Planning Board responsibilities seriously and protect and act in the best interests of the Town, as do my Planning Board colleagues. And like my colleagues, I have attended many continuation education forums, meetings, conferences, and study groups on a variety of topics from zoning, housing, transportation, economic development, land use, natural resources, telecommunication, photovoltaics on landfills, climate change vulnerability assessment and adaptation strategies. We attend meetings on our own time.

Sullivan County Engineer Jerry Netherlain said they provided site plans, property lines and survey information, telling us what they are going to do where. They have some soil borings to take.
Google aerial maps were distributed to the commissioners, which Netherlain explained basically show locations of where they need to park and where they are going to take soil borings.
Netherlain also provided descriptions of the equipment they will bring in, noting they are nothing too heavy including a 7-ton pile driver, the other rig is about 10 tons.
The Marion Lockheed Martin Facility is set to close in 2022.
After the Marion Lockheed Martin complex announced it would close by 2022 former and current employees, alongside town officials, mourned the imminent loss.
“I was completely shocked, I gotta say,” said long-time employee Bill Beardsley.
Beardsley began his time at Sippican in 1981, and said he remembers the summer before he began working at the company.
He recalled being around town late at night, seeing the lights at Sippican Ocean Systems still on, and having a feeling that something really special was going on at the company.
“It really was kind of high-tech for the day,” Beardsley said.
