Doing an excellent job
I write to express my full support for the re-election of Mayor Larry Gilbert.
I have known Gilbert since his first day as a police officer in 1969. He was truly dedicated. I recommended that he be promoted to the rank of detective. I was captain of detectives at the time, and he worked tirelessly under my command. He has always been honest and has excellent work and personal ethics.
He earned the respect of his co-workers and superiors. He ultimately became chief of police, U.S. Marshal, and associate director of the Maine Community Policing Institute at the University of Maine at Augusta during a 38-year career.
He is now doing an excellent job in Lewiston as mayor.
Lewiston residents need to keep him in office to work with the new City Council for the good of the city.
I urge voters to join me in re-electing Larry Gilbert.
Robert A. Soucy, Lewiston

Sorry Jason, but they do destroy nature.
Just ask the birds, including eagles, and bats that fly into these spinning blades. Just ask the fish that die from the runoff of all the herbicides used to maintain the cleared sites. Ask deer and other large game who are poisoned by the herbicides when they browse. Ask all the small critters blown up by dynamite when the blasting of ridges and mountaintops begins. Ask people who get sick from poisoned well water. And, ask the trees, who give us oxygen in return for CO2s. They are living, breathing life forms, too.
All dead or dying from wind turbines.

The solutions are expensive to polluters.
1) Require fair market price buy-outs or property value guarantees for property owners within two and a half miles of turbines,
2) apply Rural (20-25) dbA limits to nighttime operations immediately,
3) require the wind turbine industry to pay for the costs of noise monitoring and make all data available through web sites in real time, and
4) develop metrics that capture and regulations that protect against low frequency noise.
