Foreign driver says ‘Sorry’ for making Mainers angry
Bonjour, I’m from Quebec. On my way to a Rotary Conference District in Belfast on June 1, I drove through Waterville. As I was leaving the city, I made a quick move to go on the left and, by doing so, I came in front of a woman who was not expecting my late move. […]

High school senior nailed essence of Memorial Day
Does America have a future? We sure do! After reading so much bad news, along comes Helen Call’s Maine Compass about respect for our veterans’ sacrifice (June 7). Wow! What an articulate, well-written and reasoned opinion, not by a seasoned journalist, but by a high school senior. An opinion she put forward, even though she […]

Compass about landmark church was beautiful
Marilyn Canavan’s Compass (May 28) in the Morning Sentinel about St. Francis de Sales Church was beautiful. It should make people think. We destroy our landmarks.

What happened to the courtesy school bus drivers used to have? They used to pull over if several cars, sometimes even one car, were behind them. I have had to follow a school bus on Route 100 several times coming home in the afternoon. Sometimes as many as eight vehicles stacked behind him, and yet […]

Maine employees should be treated with respect
Gov. Paul LePage’s remark about unions costing the citizens of the state of Maine money is hogwash. He seems to want to keep frontline employees in state government and Maine at a poverty level while asking them to carry more financial burdens. He should, instead, try reining in the real expenses and stop picking on […]

Demonstrating for freedom to deny others freedom?
I saw the front page picture on June 9 of people standing up for religious freedom. What a noble cause! Then I read the story and found that they were demonstrating for the freedom to deny others the freedom to have certain health care coverage. We do live in strange times. Bill Williamson Jefferson

‘Flaming feminists’ saved lives when police wouldn’t
In Michael Shepherd’s article, “Shifting the Dialogue about Domestic Violence” in the Kennebec Journal on June 10, R. Christopher Almy, district attorney for Piscataquis and Penobscot counties, commented on those who are working to end domestic violence. He said, “They’re no longer just a bunch of flaming feminists. They’re people who live in our community […]
