It’s not clear yet if a majority of Wiscasset selectmen will still want to ask voters about the school department’s energy project now that the committee has again green-lighted Superintendent of Schools Heather Wilmot on the project.

It is clear that a few hundred voters turned out Tuesday night to pick one of the five selectmen who will make that call and many others this budget season, which follows last year’s 14 percent property tax hike. Resident Tim Merry told Phil Di Vece in our online update from the polls at www.wiscasssetnewspaper.com, there is voter apathy.

Given that tax hike and so much else on Wiscasset’s financial plate, it’s not clear to me why there would be apathy, but the town, news media and letters to the editor got word out there was an election, so Tuesday’s numbers suggest Merry’s theory is spot on.

It’s not clear if our region’s television meteorologists are spot on or not in their storm forecasts, until the storms do or do not show up, intact or broken up and weakened.

It is clear the meteorologists should not be smiling so, as some of them are, when they tell us how treacherous the commute will be or how dangerously cold the night will be. Hazardous weather in Maine in the winter is serious information, not fluff. I wouldn’t want a news anchor delivering serious news with a smile, and I don’t enjoy getting predictions of ice, outages and terrible wind chills delivered with a smile. It’s neither good news, nor funny.

It is not clear if there could be any change ahead in plans to cancel high school baseball at Wiscasset Middle High School for this year.

It is clear the athletic director tried a number of avenues before making the call, and wouldn’t have done it lightly. But as Eugene Stover, for whom Stover Auditorium is named, pointed out, there could still be interest. Let’s hope for a spring surprise with enough students to field a team and then some, maybe.
