It hasn’t been often during my over 50 years of having chosen to live and work in Maine that I have felt compelled to write a letter to the editor. However, recently I had the good fortune to meet and converse with a fine young man, Ryan Hawes, who is looking forward to serving our […]

For years I have read the propaganda pieces written by Cal Thomas and published in the Sun Journal, the newspaper we have called “our newspaper.” I have suffered in silence. However, when Cal attacks the U.S. Postal Service and suggests it be “stamped out,” I will no longer be silent. In his recent piece printed […]

Cancel culture strikes again in Maine. The New England Clean Energy Connect corridor is to be 145 miles in length with all but 53 miles ready to connect. Much of the power goes to Massachusetts, just as it did when Maine Yankee was in operation until 1996. Since no one is ready to discuss nuclear […]

We all heard about the “war on” Christmas, religion, the Second Amendment, etc., from Fox broadcasts (I won’t call it news). What about the “war on” truth being waged by the Fox network? I must say it has topped all the politicians, except maybe one, in successfully waging the battle. There are two types of […]

I would like to thank Ryan Hawes for his willingness to step up and get involved in Auburn politics. Ryan is running for the Ward 2 seat on the Auburn City Council.
