Paul Casey: A refreshing story
I write in response to a story from the Advertiser Democrat, published in the Sun Journal, Aug. 8, about Norway teenager Kate Dilworth and how she started a veggie stand. The story was a breath of fresh air during this time of political and social unrest. As a retired teacher, I find it so promising […]

Steve Milks: I endorse Matt Leonard
It is a pleasure for me to endorse Matt Leonard for the state Senate. I have known him for nearly five years, in many roles. He is a professional in every sense. He is smart and understands the fine details of policy and government but, most importantly, he is a really good person. He cares […]

George Jones: Reelect Sen. Susan Collins
Sen. Susan Collins has, for years, demonstrated strength, character and integrity, earning her the respect of her Senate colleagues and has become a real powerful influence. She has benefited Maine greatly, as the 6,000 BIW workers can attest. On the other hand, Sara Gideon, a political neophyte, has no such credentials and has some questionable […]

Dean Hinkley: Contractor was quite considerate
A few weeks ago, a road construction project was completed on Gardiner Road, Route 126, Sabattus, and School Road in Wales. The project consisted of installing a 10-inch water line from Gardiner Road to Oak Hill High School in Wales. The high school has been plagued with water problems for quite some time. Upon completion […]

Wally Backus: The political ugliness
I am so tired of listening to all the adversarial political ads sponsored by Sen. Susan Collins and rival Sara Gideon, along with their various sponsors. Those two girls fight like they were teenagers, rather than the informed, educated women that they are. Why can’t politicians campaign on the basis of their qualifications and their […]

Moe Galarneau: No mask endangers others
Recently, I was driving up College Street in Lewiston, just past Bates College, heading north. I noticed a Lewiston Police Department officer, going south, had pulled a car over. As I got closer, I noticed the officer talking with the driver of the car. He was on the driver’s side, two or three feet from […]

Barbara Arsenault: Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, so Veterans Administrations at the state and federal level are taking an assertive stance to address this difficult issue in Maine. Sadly, in 2017, 48 veterans were lost to suicide; 32 of them used firearms as their lethal means. The Maine Safer Homes Taskforce has been created from the […]

Phyllis Caron: Leaving us with nothing
I’m angry, as others are, with Sen. Collins turning her back on those who elected her — for money. All I can say to her is to be careful that, by taking that much money, it doesn’t come back to bite her. All those years voters kept her in the U.S. Senate, but this year […]

Rich Lowry: Hollywood’s shameful Beijing kowtow
Hollywood is accommodating a new era of McCarthyism, imposed this time by Red China. It involves everything that Hollywood tells us that it hates — censorship, pressure to conform and blacklists. Yet the studios have seamlessly absorbed China’s dictates into their operations. This most iconic American business is now, literally, an agent of Chinese influence. […]

Froma Harrop: Stop talking about doomsday scenarios for election night
All this agonizing over what may happen if President Donald Trump tries to steal the election is highly annoying. It normalizes the idea that pure aggression can so easily steamroll the democratic process. Here are healthier assumptions for those who value a fair election: If Trump loses, he leaves the White House on Jan. 20, […]
