  1. Things are hopping this week on the Stinchfield Hill Rd. Two calls to the FSO. I suppose it’s no worse than multip[e trips to Rangeley and Eustis to investigate 911 misdials.

  2. Are “WE” paying for the MISDIALS?
    They should get a reasonable bill. (maybe they do? ).
    I had no idea these are so frequent.
    Cmon….

    To Our Peace Officers,,
    THANK YOU.!!

    Everything Is Beautiful.

  3. 911 calls, Stinchfield Hill Road and Dummer’s Beach seem to be keeping the deputies busy lately!
