William LaRochelle: Bugliosi vs. Belzer on JFK assassination
After reading of the recent death of comic and conspiracist author Richard Belzer (Sun Journal, Feb. 20), I did a little digging to find out what his take was on the Kennedy assassination. I found all I cared to read in an article he wrote for HuffPost (Aug. 13, 2007), a progressivist website. In it, […]

Rich Lowry: Biden’s push to radicalize the federal bureaucracy
In a push for so-called equity so shockingly far-reaching that, not so long ago, a “woke” diversity officer wouldn’t have attempted it at even the most progressive liberal arts college, Biden is pushing to make the federal government a frank instrument of a racialized radicalism.

In rebuttal: Jon St. Laurent: Late abortions are ‘a rarity overall’ in Maine
I write in rebuttal to Diana O’Brien’s letter, “Maine lawmakers should oppose late-term abortions” (Feb. 15). Ms. O’Brien stated that “There is now a bill legislators are trying to pass, to make it OK to abort a full-term child, with the approval of a qualified medical professional.” In fact, four reproductive related bills — and […]

William Phillips: U.S. ‘can do better’ than supremacists, extremists
At the time of Christ, the world’s population is estimated to have been about 300 million people. We are now approaching 7 billion people. It is hard to argue against the fact that the population growth of humanity (and the attendant stresses of the industrial and technological revolution) has strained the world’s resources, and threatened […]

Juliana L’Heureux: Franco-American center should highlight its identity
I have followed and supported the development of the beautiful Franco-American Heritage Center at Saint Mary’s on Cedar Street in Lewiston. I have done so ever since the dedicated group of incorporators began the campaign to renovate this iconic building for the future, by protecting the culture and history. Although there were a few name […]

Richard Grandmaison: Support for Lewiston senior housing project ‘greatly needed’
I want to bring this to the attention of seniors in Lewiston. Recently the Lewiston City Council didn’t renew the senior housing project proposed for Martel School. The Lewiston Planning Board had two meetings to review the situation. At the second meeting its members discussed the proposal to sell the property. They discussed the price […]

Kathleen Szostek: Mainers should ‘hold a reverence for life’ with unborn babies
Do we — here in Maine — hold a reverence for life? Admittedly, some factions do not. However, I believe that most in our state hold life dear. The test will be in seeing who speaks up for the most vulnerable among us: the unborn. Whatever our collective views of abortion are (and I realize […]

Marcia Baxter: Franco Center’s name showed pride of place
What a loss in the renaming of the Franco Center. How sad that some members of the board were persuaded that a name change was needed to “broaden appeal.” This name change shows little regard for the history and intent of its founding. The center was established to celebrate and highlight an important part of […]
