Great Job

Compliments to the fire dept and their rescue squad. Things like this want our support more and more and believe me they deserve it.
Well done, thanks for saving another friend of man.

SAD

that we have so many students that don't fit in to the school program during the day. I wonder how many of those who are in the in school suspension programs are minorities frustrated by our language or way of life? Could Supt. Webster provide the sun journal with that kind of data for publication. I would find it interesting to know.

Party

Let's not forget that Angus was a Democrat before he decided to be an Independent even back in the days of being a good ole Governor.

Oh

What surprise... did we think anything other than backing Obama would happen? Of course this party supports the incumbent President.

retro active

Let's hope that the new bill becomes law and as part of it there is a retroactive clause that goes back at least 5 yrs from the date it passes and becomes law.
It is obscene to see that this guy can collect that much money while he is in jail. At the least, his pension should be deminished by the cost of his incarceration per year... and at the maximum the whole pension should be forfeit, but we don't want him to get out of jail and become another welfare case, so perhaps we ought to leave him a percentage that becomes active when he gets out so he can have something to live on besides the welfare system.

Personal Learning Plans

The philosophy is nice, but do they realize what amount of time it takes to develop this plan? Then what about the realization on maintance of the plan? Is this going to be done by the teacher? When will teachers really teach? Take 25 students and create plans for each one. Sounds great, but the time involved, and time to adjust each must happen..what daily, weekly, monthly? Should one teacher be doing it or should it be evaluated and done by all the teachers at the same grade level? A lot of questions to be answered before beginning this process. Even Auburn with the computers (IPads) will have difficulty with individual plans. Subliminal learners ...aren't we all as we sit in front of the computer screens or tvs?

surprised

Not at all,if you chose that accept all the refuges and their families and their relatives and they keep having more and more children. Why should Lewiston be surprised about needing more classroom space, having to move seniors out of their comfort zone spaces, adding classrooms and bonding for large projects that the state won't fund.
Examine a map and you will see that where the expansions are like McMahon have a large immigrant population in public supported housing.

Driving the local population out of once all white areas in other areas. Catholic Charities of Maine brought these refugees here and dumped them on the city of Lewiston. That church ought to pay for their education costs, etc, oh I forgot that they probably haven't any money after all the sexual crimes committed by their priest and then having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements for each one.

It is an interesting contrast Pedophiles and Refugee support. Then the burden falls on the city. No one in Lewiston asked for all these people and did anyone ever look at the long term impact? I doubt it, they probably just said save these poor people... Damn they weren't even Christians. Shouldn't the Catholic Church save those people first?

Better

I think that they did better on Winter St this last storm, as it seems to me that they went up and then came back down and then entered into Pettingill Park... I hope this will continue and I hope that we were one of those tweeks.

Remember

Germany prior to the second world war, such patients were euthanized because they were such a drain on the state economy. Personally, I believe that if I were in a similar situation I would want to be put out of my misery and yes I know there are religious and moral issues, but carrying this forward and look at the cost and if the cost were zero then the idea is sound, practically, probably not however, a solution needs to be found and this is one way to do it.
