Just read the Sun Journal article that the driver of the truck that crashed on Merrow Road last year has been sentenced to prison for manslaughter for driving too fast, resulting in an accident that killed his passenger. (“Florida man to serve 3 years in prison for fatal 2023 Auburn crash,” Aug. 2). What a […]

It is a puzzle to me that so many of my fellow Americans say they would vote for Donald Trump. Yes, he is charismatic, but in a very dark way, using tactics of tyrannical strongmen of the 20th century.   Unlike honorable candidates, he refused to concede an election that he clearly lost. He then promoted […]

I’d like to encourage people to vote for Laurel Libby for state representative. Laurel is a rare politician who is honest, works hard, and can get people moving in alignment toward a goal. She is committed to hours and hours of extra work with little to no pay in order to not only do an […]

There were times when I wished my parents hadn’t moved to Lewiston. Following the money seemed like the right thing to do back then. After Portland, Lewiston was the second largest city in Maine, sometimes referred to as “Little Boston.” Thriving with factories, woolen mills, shoe shops and department stores, to name a few.

Theriault sought to enlighten me with verses from Paul’s epistle to the Romans (1:20-21) concerning the folly of those who deny God’s existence in the face of all created reality.

I’ve known Joan for many years, have worked with her on local projects, and have always admired her intelligence, focus, and willingness to delve deeply into whatever project she is working on. I am always impressed with […]

I am writing in support of my friend Bruce Bryant for state senator in District 19. Brenda and I met Bruce over 30 years ago and throughout that time he has always been a strong voice for working people on the job and in the Legislature. Bruce sponsored legislation to improve Maine-New Hampshire snowmobile trails, […]

I am pleased to endorse Peggy Rotundo for the Maine State Senate. Peggy’s work on behalf of her constituents and all the people of Maine shows a remarkable record of support for education, the arts and all manner of issues important for all of us. I know her positions are well researched and well informed […]

I wholeheartedly support Dan Campbell for state representative. He has a long history of being an outstanding citizen in Auburn. He guided and mentored countless students during his 31-year career as an Edward Little High School coach. His commitment to our community is evident by his ongoing work to help the unhoused and the numerous […]
