Another hunting season begins this Saturday, Oct. 28. I hope people respect property owners and, whenever possible, ask their permission before taking loaded weapons onto their land. More importantly, they should fully identify their target and beyond, and not shoot at noises or rustling bushes. They should remember Karen Wood, Megan Ripley and Karen Wrentzel, […]

I am writing to support the reelection of Paul Beauparlant to the Lewiston School Committee. He possesses to a high degree two valuable characteristics necessary for school board members: knowledge and commitment. Paul knows public education. He spent over four decades teaching at the middle and high school levels, advising students in the Interact Club, […]

Every day we see commercial after commercial urging us to vote “no” on Question 3. They tell us that Question 3 will cost the state of Maine over $13 billion. I wonder how much money Central Maine Power has spent so far airing all these commercials? Just saying. Paul Bilodeau, Greene

I write to voice my enthusiastic support for Susan Longchamps as the prospective Lewiston city councilor. Susan possesses a clear vision for the future of our city, one that is inclusive, innovative and responsive to the evolving needs of our diverse population. What sets Susan apart is her approachability and willingness to engage with the […]

I am endorsing Tim Cowan for Auburn City Council, Ward 2. As a resident for over 20 years, Tim’s community involvement has ranged from a trustee at his church, a member of the Healthy Androscoggin Advisory Committee and past president and member of Community Little Theater.

Having served with Paul Beauparlant on the Lewiston School Committee for the last three-plus years, it is my honor to encourage all the voters of Ward 7 to support his reelection. Paul was a high school classroom teacher for 43 years, and he brings a perspective to the position that few others could possibly provide. […]

Jeff Harmon has attended Planning Board and City Council meetings and, while I applaud his commitment, there is cause for concern. One topic was Planning Board approval of Stable Ridge Apartments. During those meetings there was in-depth discussion, professional opinions from staff and experts on topics such as traffic and school impact, as well as […]

If I lived in Auburn I would vote to reelect Mayor Jason Levesque. He is moving that city forward, and residents should be proud of his efforts. Let’s hope there is a new mayor in Lewiston, like Jon Connor, who I know would work hand-in-hand with Auburn to move both our great cities into the […]
