  Pray governor realizes he’s governor of all Mainers

  It is most encouraging to hear that some people in Augusta are starting to pray. I think all the people in Maine should start praying for our governor, that he should wake up some morning and discover he has compassion and kindness for all of Maine’s people. Perhaps then he would indeed be a governor […]

  Can’t get through the day without the Sentinel

  I have been a faithful follower of the Morning Sentinel for just about 60-some years or more. And I don’t know what I would do if the newspaper ever would stop. Years ago, my ex-husband, as a teenager, delivered the Sentinel at my home. He did that through his teen years and almost until he […]

  Carpooling can save money in school budget

  Each morning I commute to work utilizing the West River Road in Waterville. There is always a steady stream of vehicles turning into and out of Waterville Junior High School. Have any reporters done any study to find out how many students are riding the buses each day? I would think the districts could save […]

  Thanks for honest stranger, staff at business

  I went to a business in Winslow to pay my bill recently. I later received a call from one of the business’ staff saying that someone had found my debit card outside and brought it in. I want to thank the person who found it for their honesty and consideration. I also would like to […]

  Forum on the Future about energy gave sensible ideas

  Thanks for Susan M. Cover’s story about the Jan. 22 Forum on the Future, featuring professor Habib Dagher’s vision for offshore wind generation. As noted, we could save $5 billion in transportation and heating costs, while generating $3 billion worth of electricity that could be sold in other New England states. I came away thinking […]

  Kids pay the price when we’re too sue-happy

  I have to give my opinion about what a cynical and self-centered society we have become. Mattson Heights in Gardiner, right off U.S. Route 201, has furnished a place for the people of Gardiner to ice skate for 30-plus years. This has always been a safe, family-utilized place for surrounding residents to enjoy, but because […]

  Agree that some Internet sites should be shut down

  I can understand all the publicity regarding censoring the Internet, but I do agree with some of the opposition. In the early days of Hotmail, I received some horrendous emails. I did nothing to solicit those emails. If legislation shut that practice down, it’s a good thing. I saw a video of Bill Maher on […]

  Subsidies to blame for loss of Kestral to Wisconsin

  I was disappointed to read on Jan. 17 that Maine lost its bid to have an airplane manufacturing company at the decommissioned Brunswick airbase. This would have brought 600 new manufacturing jobs to Maine. I believe that Gov. Paul LePage and his staff did the best they possibly could to offer an attractive package to […]

  Build refineries, not pipelines, and create jobs

  How many oil spills have there been recently? BP in Alaska again. This happened in July. BP is one disaster after another. We Americans are paying the price, more than four dollars for diesel. We are footing the bills for BP’s disasters. Of course Haliburton is getting its cut, too. Along with one of the […]

  Antifreeze dangerous if dogs and cats ingest it

  This winter, I’ve been seeing a lot of pink antifreeze (maybe it’s transmission fluid or some other engine fluid) from snowmobiles and sidewalk plows on the sidewalks. Antifreeze can cause severe health problems for dogs and cats because it tastes good to them. People should be especially careful allowing their pets to walk near this […]
