down at the Penobscot County Conservation booth someone there will direct you to his whereabouts attempts to dictate the livelihood of the people of Maine If you are so concerned about establishing a nature preserve why you take Tom suggestion and develop such a park in the Berkshires be run out of town on a rail why for a minute underestimate the resiliency of the people of central and northern Maine You (jie first organization to attempt to destroy what little economic incentive this area has to offer The government of this state has been guilty of that for as long as I can Bruce Rioux Millinocket In the spirit of good sportsmanship and objectivity the following words are from the one I letter I received supporting park proposal: fact that the land in question is presently open to

the recreational use of the land to the highest bidder? It is my understanding that wolves will not only eat deer but also beavers Perhaps wolves would save the Maine DOT and landowners a few dollars by controlling beaver populations It is also my understanding that wolves will not tolerate coyotes within their range The deer the wolves kill may be offset by the ones not killed by A Hennessey from C8 STORE You hit every nail on the head I thought I was particularly glad you discussed the idiocy of introducing wolves deliberately into Maine It would be like bringing snakes into Ireland RESTORE should stay at home in Concord Mass and concentrate on saving Walden Pond from the ravages of hordes of swimmers and vandals That would keep them busy out of mischief and out of our woods and Donald Mort-land Unity seems to think wolves will stay wherever released Fifteen were released in Idaho and one of them ended up shot in California If fine state Helen French Brooks The following excerpt is from a letter to RESTORE requesting a brochure regarding the proposed park: you cannot possibly think that such apro-posal would offset the tremendous economic upheaval it would create These communities that you wish to disrupt are comprised of hard working mostly blue-collar folks who want nothing more than to live in an area that provides a good job little crime and a nice area to enjoy raising a family and outdoor recreation I will reserve further judgment until I have read your brochure I must however question the motives of an organization that resides in Massachusetts yet A released in Maine around Baxter State Park no telling where end Harold MacRae East Holden RESTORE column was right on target Tom Keep Lew Bone Houlton column said everything I have ever thought from the first time I heard of proposal I cannot believe that any group can have the utter gall to propose such plans for a state they are not even residents of and try to convince us Mainers that a national park is in our best interests Let them implement their plans in Massachusetts have faith that Maine people will reject RESTORE but we need to keep the residents of our A A.
