Keschl spoke against LURC reform bill, keeping his word
I want to thank Rep. Dennis Keschl, R-Belgrade, for testifying against portions of L.D. 1798, the bill attempting to reform LURC, at the public hearing on Feb. 16. Keschl was one of only three Republican legislators who testified in opposition to the bill, and he deserves our thanks. A few weeks before the public hearing, […]

Dual standard obvious in ABC’s choice of sitcom
Nothing has changed in the 11 years since I wrote my last column for this newspaper. The world had a glaring dual standard then, and that dual standard has only grown more pronounced. ABC premiered a new show called GCB this month. The show first was called Good Christian B****** (rhymes with witches), later changed […]

Celibate clergy have biased view of marriage
The Catholic Diocese of Maine has no need to explain “the gift of marriage” (front-page article, March 3) when the clergy show by their behavior what they really think of matrimony. These men, who elect themselves to tell others what marriage should be, remain single because joining with a partner in holy matrimony would compromise […]

Quinn for Cornville road commissioner
I am writing to encourage others to vote for Matthew Quinn for road commissioner for Cornville on Friday. Our roads are in a constant state of disrepair, show poor durability following any work that does occur, and remain relatively unplowed following storms. Having known Matthew for more than 20 years, I can vouch for his […]

Administration must not be allowed to violate rights
Your Feb. 29 political cartoon has the wrong people holding the banner that reads, “There should be no church/state separation.” It’s not Rick Santorum nor the Taliban, but Barack Obama and his radical secularist administration that is violating the Constitution by crossing the line between church and state. His is the first U.S. administration in […]

Women’s health issues a good topic for Doonesbury
Doonesbury has covered controversies about war, political scandals, citizen protests — and yet the newspaper chooses not to publish strips about women’s health issues? Please! We need the perspective; we need the laugh. Bring back the originally scheduled Doonesbury! Pat Onion Vienna

Paper has duty to deliver both sides of controversy
I am extremely upset that you would block me from reading one of my favorite parts of your paper. Doonesbury/Gary Trudeau’s opinionated cartoons are necessary to our culture. Thomas Nast was a social commentator who also used the comic strip venue. Would you want to go down in history as banning his views of then-unpopular […]

Priest accepts Courage post out of desire to help
I’m writing in response to the Kennebec Journal Feb. 3 article, “Maine gets Ministry that Supports Gays Wishing to Change.” I believe that my letter is indeed of general public interest. The Rev. Kevin Martin of St. Michaels Parish has graciously and unselfishly accepted the leadership of ministry, out of love of God and the […]

‘Three Days of Rain’ incredible production
I was one of the many in the audience at the opening performance of “Three Days of Rain” on March 9 at the ACAT Theater in Waterville. I wish to commend the three actors — Tim Croce, Heidi Holst and Evan Sposato — and director Joe Klapatch for their incredible dramatic acting and production of […]

Some people can make do, take care of themselves
Don’t drill, baby drill! I’m not going to argue. So what if gas or diesel hits $10 per gallon. I don’t care if the cost of a box of cereal gets up to 10 bucks. I don’t need to eat cereal. So what if a gallon on milk eventually costs 15 bucks. I have a […]
