    Munson works with other councilors to help folks

    Cecil Munson is running for re-election to the Augusta City Council at-large position.  I like the way he represents us when we ask him for help. When I was president of Le Club Calumet, I contacted my own councilor, Pat Paradis, and at-large councilors Munson and David Rollins with a zoning issue about the placement […]

    Allowing flier distribution at schools is a good thing

    The Augusta Board of Education policy committee met recently and agreed to an interpretation change in existing policy that will result in community groups being able to distribute fliers to students.  This is good news for families who are trying to find fun, educational and athletic programs for their kids. It is good for the […]

    Set Texas free from federal government

    I have a crazy idea, which with such a divided government, may not be so crazy anymore. Texas has long talked about succession from the Union. Maybe we (the nation) should allow one of our states to have its rights back as our Founding Fathers envisioned under the Constitution. No sane person would ever want […]

    Ingeborg Lapointe is an extraordinary woman

    After reading Don Roberts’ column about Ingeborg Lapointe, I’d like to add my comments about this extraordinary woman. My first encounter with Ingeborg was via a message left on my answering machine. I didn’t understand her accent, but I called her back. After that first conversation, we realized we were kindred spirits, particularly after she […]

    This letter is written to urge the residents of China to vote no on Nov. 5 on the purchase of The Cabins, formerly known as Candlewood Lodge. The Lake Access Feasibility Committee has been given the task of finding a beach, but why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars when the town already owns several […]

    Price ceiling on gas will cause more harm than good

    Ed Rowe previously wrote to ask for the price of gas to be set at $2 per gallon (letter, Oct. 5). His assumption, shared by many others, is that lower gas prices will result in saved money for consumers and will help to stimulate growth in the economy and benefit United States citizens. Creating a […]

    Michaud should have stayed in Congress

    Why, when our male representatives in Washington start to get enough seniority to serve on important committees or even chair a committee that could help Maine, do they decide to run for governor? Mike Michaud was doing an excellent job in Washington. Why give it up to campaign for governor when, I believe, he has […]
