    Thank our heroes, Godfor America’s blessings

    Soon it will be the Fourth of July, Independence Day, when America will celebrate everything great about the land of the free and the home of the brave. America, the greatest nation ever, did not come easily, but at great cost in both lives and fortunes by a great number of men and women from varied backgrounds. Heroes every one.

    New graduates could fill all the empty job slots

    I was glad to see that the "Floridian" in the governor's office reminded recent college graduates to be respectful. Today's youth need good role models.

    GOP agenda dominated by insatiable greed

    A shame that Waterville decided to ban fireworks

    I think it is a shame that, because of a few complaints, Waterville decided to ban the sale/possession of fireworks. My guess is that every councilor who voted for this has at some point in their lives possessed and used fireworks. The same probably goes for those who complain about them. If people are so […]

    Thanks for utility workers who labor in storms

    Kudos to these storm workers. Just a word of thanks to the employees of Central Maine Power, Time Warner Cable and Internet workers (the people who actually do the work).

    Thanks to teens who aided motorists in sudden flood

    My car was one of those damaged in the flooding at Elm Plaza after a recent sudden, torrential downpour in Waterville.
