Oh come on be realistic! Obviously if all you knew growing up was artificially colored flavored corn syrup that would be good enough. There is absolutely no comparison between corn syrup and maple syrup. It is like asking a non beer drinker to compare Coors light to a Gritty's Black Fly Stout.
A better test would be to compare the maples syrups from different producers as well as from different regions to determine which produces the best maple syrup. I think that Denny's has the best corn syrup!
I'm certainly not in favor of allowing illegal immigrants in this country but this is an entirely unique situation. These folks were allowed to remain here albeit on a temporary basis by our system. They became productive members of the community who contributed to it. They did not bleed the system. After 10 years, they have set up a business and worked long days, have given birth to two American born children who are now established in our schools and now US immigration says you don't belong here and you must return to a country which is known to be unsafe for anyone. If Immigration didn't want them here, they should haver been sent back 10 years ago. It is obvious that common sense does not exist in our US Department of Immigration.
As much as the Armory appears to be a viable solution, the N of C building is the ideal location for the seniors. Parking at the armory can be a real problem whenever the is a function at the Middle School or at the Armory. Seniors would be left with no place to park within a reasonable distance to the building. On the other hand, the Knights building has its own parking lot. Access to the building would be much easier for seniors.
Why should I have to pay the cost of pacifing the cruchies who do not want the smart meters. The PUC is right in allowing CMP to charge them the extra cost of manually reading their mechanical meters monthly.
I don't think there is a US league that can showcase the talent we were shown by the Q. So many players we had the opportunity to watch ended up in the AHL & the NHL. Hopefully I am proven wrong. Most highly sought US talent end up in College D1.
As a season ticket holder from day one this is how I see it unfold. There is no question that Mark Just made a series of deadly mistakes in the operation of the team here. From poor management choices from the start to the poor choice in naming a successor to Clem Jodoin which turned off player who chose to play elsewhere and then the lack of advance homework in the announced move to Boisbriand. By then it was too late to try of make amends in an effort to revitialize support for the team. Marketing has been less than stellar and then to blame the local fans for not going to the games.
Now that I have pointed out Mark Just's misgivings, how about all those so-called "die hard hockey fans" who were the biggest critic yet never attended a game or would only attend if they were offered a free ticket. Always too expensive unless it was free. Let's face it, the blame for failure should be shouldered not only by the owner but also by all those locals who never offered an ounce of support. I will greatly miss this level of hockey and the opportunity to see future NHL stars play in my community.
You are so concerned about the kids having less for Christmas and birthday. That is on true if you sacrifice the kids for that pack of tobacco. You don't appear to be concerned about your kids health due to second hand smoke! We non-smokers finally have our right recognized to breath clean air too bad your kids don't.
Judy Taylor, the artist who made the mural, said "I don't know how he (LePage) would feel about his work being taken away from him." Did she not get paid $60,000 for the work? Therefore it is no longer hers. It is amazing how artists think! Realistically, it was a mistake to put up the mural in the first place. The department of labor should be a neutral ground not one depicting strikes and labor unions.
BTW, your final test results
BTW, your final test results are a total insult to the Jilsons who pride themselves on making grade A maple syrup. What ever happened to "buy local"?
Flawed test results

US Immigration gets failing grades once again!

Lewiston Armory is not the best choice
As much as the Armory appears to be a viable solution, the N of C building is the ideal location for the seniors.

David Morse tragic accident
I will reserve any opinion until the entire story is told. THis is all too bizaar.
Smart meters

Replacement for the MAINEiacs

Unfair tax?

Good call by Lepage!
