  Being related to governor a way to get a great job

  I just want to urge everyone to check their family tree or bloodline. Trust me, I am searching mine. I am in hopes that I am related to our Gov. Paul LePage. If I am, maybe I can get a job with the state. Between LePage’s daughter and brother-in-law, the state is paying more than […]

  LePage, friends bully McCormick out of office

  So Gov. Paul LePage and his band of merry men get what they want with the resignation of Dale McCormick. Although nothing was ever proven, I’m sure if they had dug hard enough they would have found something. Instead they used bullying tactics and baseless accusations to force a woman to resign so they can, […]

  Iran knows it has everything to lose in nuclear war

  Yale Marienhoff, in his March 20 response (“Letter ignores Iran’s statements about Israel”) to my March 12 letter, frets about Iranian threats regarding Israel. He needn’t. In 1956, many Americans panicked after Khruschev’s “We will bury you” speech. They built and stocked fallout shelters, waiting for the nuclear attack that never came. The USSR, like […]

  East Madison residents disillusioned with town

  I read without shock and amazement that the town of Madison is once again looking to put another financial burden on its taxpayers. This time, an alienated school district left. The gas pipeline debacle is also another risk that will more than likely cost the taxpayers more money because it was done in a secretive […]

  Oakland family asks return of ‘Ayla’s Missing’ sign

  We had made a poster for missing Ayla Reynolds and tacked it to our tree at the corner of Cedar Village Drive and Oxen Drive in Oakland. On one of my daily walks to the corner, I discovered that someone had torn it down. How could anyone stoop so low as to tear down a […]

  Leave the people who are gay alone

  I am sure I got some attention about the abortion issue. Now I need to explain about the gay issue. A person is a person and human rights are what the United States of America is all about. Period. The moral issues are always going to be debated. I am not a religious person, nor […]

  McCormick served state honestly for 30 years

  I have been a registered Republican since 1960. That being said, Dale McCormick has served our state for 30 years as a legislator, state treasurer and head of the State Housing Authority. She has worked intelligently, honestly and tirelessly in the interests of Maine’s people. Bruce Poliquin, unchecked by Gov. Paul LePage, has shamed himself […]

  Sadness at passing of another wonderful doctor

  It was with deep sadness I read in the Morning Sentinel about the passing of Dr. Loring Withee Pratt. He was a good, kind man and a wonderful doctor. During the 1950s and the 1960s, he was always available to tend to the sore throats and ear infections of many children, mine included. Now, that […]

  Winter sand should be cleaned off all roads equally

  Spring has sprung. So I decided to do some spring cleaning, but I could not open my windows. My window screens were caked with so much sand I had to pound it out. Why? Because all winter long, our road (Route 139) was spread with a sand/dirt mixture instead of salt. So now when cars […]

  Council chamber best used by more city panels

  I want to clarify my position regarding the use of the Augusta City Council chamber by the Board of Education. I now fully support members of the school board having access to and use of the council chamber and sitting at the council bench to conduct their business. I have done some serious research and […]
