For some time now, I was leaning toward a change in the Lewiston mayoral race to favor Ben Chin. He is young and seems like he would do a great job. But, recently, I have heard from many that he is a supporter of immigrants and would welcome more of them to Lewiston. Can Lewiston […]

As a Lewiston resident, homeowner and art teacher at Lewiston High School, I would like to express my endorsement of Jim Handy for the Lewiston School Committee.

Macdonald, Lachance needed
Mayor Robert Macdonald and Councilor Michael Lachance are the best thing to happen to Lewiston in a long time. Neither has a personal agenda and only works in the best interest of their constituents. They are always available and willing to assist no matter what the issue. What is best for everyone is their only […]

Science makes more sense
I totally agree with what Nancy Willard wrote (Oct. 10) on the subject of climate change in her letter: “The evidence that climate change is real is insurmountable; it is happening now and will get worse.” Presumably, her focus is on human-generated change, as distinguished from change caused by natural processes. According to nasa.gov, a […]

As a teacher at Lewiston High School, I have worked with him many times and found him to be a thoughtful, progressive advocate for students and a vocal supporter of the arts. He has consistently […]

Stay the course with Macdonald
There has been liberal progressive government at the national level for the past seven-plus years. It has been a big failure. The country is in the worst mess in decades. The last thing residents need in Lewiston is to elect a liberal progressive mayor who will support General Assistance to asylum seekers and immigrants. Lewiston […]

Choosing life is the right choice
After reading Sen. Dawn Hill’s and Rep. Sara Gideon’s guest column, “Extremist agenda erodes access” in the Sun Journal (Oct 11), I truly wonder how any rational person can support the Democratic Party. The headline led me to believe that people who oppose abortions want to rob women of health care. Please explain to me […]

Doctors put themselves first
Dan Hett’s guest column (Oct. 11), “Marcus Welby has left the building,” resonates with my observations of the health care scene in recent years. One disturbing innovation is the demand that every patient recite his or her date of birth as often as they are asked (often four or five times per visit). The usual […]

Losing any means of protection
President Barack Obama arms Iran and cannot wait to disarm lawful Americans. What does that tell anyone? For those people who do not believe that statement — Iran will be allowed conventional weapons in five years; long-range missiles in eight … if they follow the agreement. Obama and the progressives will keep taking gun rights […]
