Team’s attendance at church well-received
A couple of weeks ago, I was extremely pleased to see the Monmouth Academy boys soccer team show up for Sunday services at the North Monmouth Community Church with their coach Joe Fletcher.

Dismayed at demise of Winthrop hot meals program
It was with dismay that I read about the Winthrop Hot Meals program apparently meeting its demise. I am disgusted that the program has basically been kicked out of St. Francis’ Church Hall. The fine people of Winthrop have been living the Christian way of life. They have been helping their neighbors without question. That […]

How can ‘occupiers’ camp in park without permits?
The residents of Augusta should be outraged at the police chief’s decision to turn a blind eye to the “occupiers” in Capitol Park. If he allows them to camp without permits, then what other crimes does he turn a blind eye to? James Sawyer Gardiner

How many same-day voter registrants too many?
It is estimated, by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, that 60,000 Mainers will wait until Election Day 2012 to register to vote if late registration is available. Folks in favor of same-day registration say that’s reason to abolish Maine’s new early registration law. Wonder if the number needs to be 120,000 […]

Same-day registration does not protect vote integrity
Wall Street hedge fund manager, S. Donald Sussman, husband of Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, has donated $100,000 to the Yes on One campaign. He obviously doesn’t like the new law, so he wrote out a check. This money, combined with other large out-of-state donations, is being used to repeal the much-needed election reform that […]
