March is Red Cross Month, and the American Red Cross is ask Mainers to join it in providing help and hope to people in need. Founded by Clara Barton in 1881 after being inspired by the humanitarian concepts of the Swiss-based international Red Cross movement, the American Red Cross today reaches virtually all segments of […]

Mainers, please believe in old-time values
Citizens of Maine, please tell me you believe in the old values of man-woman marriage. In the Bible, God said man and woman should be married. I know Mainers believe in old-time values. In November, I hope Maine stands apart from other states. We do not have to vote the same way they do be […]

Paul has pledged to keep America as a free country
Anyone who has read James Perloff’s book, “The Shadows of Power,” knows that the well-entrenched Council on Foreign Relations seeks to subvert the United States into a socialist and tyrannical world government. Since most presidential candidates (both winners and losers) are either members of this elite group or have advisers who are, there is little […]

Contraception problem or behavior excuse?
Is the current fight about contraception a stratagem or a real issue? Is it more important for young women today to force insurance companies to pay for birth control? I was under the impression that Planned Parenthood was formulated for a commonsense approach to women’s rights. Isn’t 4NOW a no-cost program, along with other free […]

Collins sold us out to extreme right-wing
Susan Collins has finally shown her true colors. She made the shameful decision to vote to allow employers and insurance companies avoid paying for virtually any medical treatment or prescriptions by merely stating it is against their moral or religious beliefs. That means they could deny coverage for birth control, vaccinations or expensive cancer or […]

Give coaches and teachers the support they need
I would like to praise the teachers and coaches in the Augusta school system. The scholars and athletes the coaches turn out are outstanding. Our fifth granddaughter just graduated from college. Our five grandchildren have attended five different colleges in three different states; two more grandchildren are yet to attend. It is our job as […]

Successful change requires a strong foundation
As a Hall-Dale parent, I support the statements of concern and frustration in the recent article “Hall-Dale’s Grading System Raises Questions.” Despite the efforts of many, parents and students still are struggling to navigate Hall-Dale’s ever-changing grading system, curriculum and nomenclature. The mantra of “change is difficult,” so frequently directed at parents, is difficult to […]

Proud of both Gardiner and its schools
I enjoyed the Maine Compass from a Gardiner city councilor regarding the city’s conversion to wood pellet heat, until the article inexplicably turned negative regarding our local school board spending money and “hoping residents won’t notice.” As a resident of Gardiner, I see us as one community and, as such, the towns and schools should […]

People without money don’t really have safety net
Having money is a good thing: The more you have the better off you are. I think Mitt Romney said it best when he said he was not worried about the very poor because they had a safety net. How did we become so selfish and heartless? I’m not sure. I can only say what […]

Seal up Embden building now so bats can’t get in
Now is the time for the townspeople of Embden to take care of their bat issues in the old townhouse. I doubt there are any bats there at this time and their most cost-effective way would be to seal up any possible ways the bats are getting in to the building. Most likely the ones […]
