My property directly borders the property recently purchased by Central Maine Power at 1228 Main St., East Wilton. Aside from possible health effects from EMFs with the proposed electrical substation, I am also very concerned about property devaluation. I have spent much time speaking to neighbors, Wilton Town Manager Rhonda Irish, Selectperson Tiffany Maiuri, Code […]

A clever scam
I keep reading that the state of Maine will reimburse taxpayers for the added cost of education; however, there is a two-year lag for the reimbursement. My question is what happens to the reimbursement money from the state when it finally arrives? I have heard that song and dance for 28 years here in Lewiston, […]

A warm and funny story
People in the area are so fortunate to have so many places to see good-quality theater. One good example was the production of “Crossing Delancey” at the Public Theatre in Lewiston, which continues until May 15. It is the warm and funny story of a Jewish grandmother working hard to be sure her beloved granddaughter […]

More money (online, May 8).” We thought it was a great piece that really highlighted how much the L-A community has grown and how crucial that growth has been. We love that more people are coming to the area and were happy that the […]

Bathroom issue out of control
The North Carolina Legislature recently passed a state law that restricts public bathroom use. As I understand it, the law specifies that people must use the bathroom corresponding to the sex stated on their birth certificates. That is fine with me. It is not about discrimination, it is about protecting children who are old enough […]

I am […]

Thanks to Sen. Brakey’s leadership
I send thanks to Sen. Eric Brakey of Auburn for supporting Maine’s seniors and disabled. As a registered nurse, I have seen firsthand that home health services for seniors and disabled have been severely underfunded. That makes it difficult to employ and retain quality people to serve these citizens. Sen. Brakey, as chairman for the […]

Have a safe, happy prom night
Prom season is here. For students, it is about celebration, staying up late, dancing and having fun with their peers. For parents, it can be worrisome and stressful night because prom night can set our kids up for risky behavior. On prom night, our teens may feel there are exceptions to the rules on such […]

Send the ‘rattle’ sculpture to Augusta
Alas, a developer is purchasing several lots on Lisbon Street, which means the Lewiston “rattle” sculpture must be moved. The sculpture was designed to be portable, so moving it is not the problem; however, where it should be displayed next is the question. The artwork has proven popular with residents and visitors, according to Josh […]
