Sounds like Smith wants to sell out our way of life
I just finished reading George Smith’s take on the Millinocket area’s economy. He feels it would be a good idea for Roxanne Quimby to buy more land and control more of our state. Apparently he doesn’t feel we Mainers know how to be good stewards of our own land and waters. Smith feels charging $5,000 […]

July 4th means more than fireworks, parades
I want to express my appreciation to the people who put together the fireworks in Winslow. What a good job! Thing is, fireworks are not all what the July 4th is all about. It’s about freedom and all who have paid the price for our independence and the freedom we can enjoy every day. Parades, […]

Disappointed in Flood’s lack of environmental support
As a voter who supported Rep. Pat Flood in the past election, I want to both thank him and hold him accountable for his poor environmental voting record. I supported him because he convinced me he would support Maine’s environmental safeguards. As House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Flood deserves credit for his work on the budget. […]

Photo session is over; here are some tasks in Winthrop
I was pleased to see the photo (July 14) of our new town manager, Jeff Woolston, and Police Chief Joe Young as members of the Rotary Club. We are indeed fortunate to have men of this caliber serving our town. Now that the photo session is over, however, perhaps Chief Young will get serious about […]

Dechaine’s jury didn’t have all the evidence
Generally, I don’t follow many criminal cases in the news. I believe that a jury of peers will examine the evidence presented and come up with a verdict as designed by our Constitution and penal code. In the Casey Anthony trial, however, I did develop an interest because of “grocery line chatter. “ It seems […]

Fish & Wildlife acted to protect Maine’s wildlife
In April, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife submitted "agency review comments" regarding the grid-scale industrial wind facility proposed by Highland Wind LLC for the mountains in Highland Plantation. That report was a major factor in withdrawal of Highland Wind's permit application for the project. Angus King, however, made it clear that his corporation intends to resubmit that application.

War, tax cuts a fiscallyinane paradigm for U.S.
As an American and combat veteran, I am bitterly opposed to only 1 percent of our citizens defending our country.

War, tax cuts a fiscally inane paradigm for U.S.
As an American and combat veteran, I am bitterly opposed to only 1 percent of our citizens defending our country. If most Americans feel that the wars we are engaged in are necessary for the protection of our country then the draft should be re-implemented and taxes should be raised considerably. George W. Bush was […]

Government needs to understand budget cuts
Shouldn’t the government keep from spending so much that it endangers national sovereignty and security, or at least something akin to it? It would be an understatement to say this is rather important. Yet, the question is unnecessarily raised repeatedly. Why can’t government grasp the concept of budget cuts? I’m not talking about spending less, […]

Stench of coverup in Dennis Dechaine case
Webster’s dictionary defines hubris as “wanton insolence or arrogance resulting from excessive pride,” and defines complicity as “partnership in wrongdoing.” The Dennis Dechaine case illustrates how the Maine Attorney General’s Office has demonstrated both for more than two decades. That office has seriously compromised its mission of “justice for all” and rendered its actions suspect, […]
