Amy Sanchez would be an excellent Lewiston city councilor for Ward 5. During the past two years she has emerged as a creative and effective leader within the Ward 5 community. For instance, during the early months of the pandemic, Amy created a start-up to produce masks, including kid-sized ones, which were hard to come […]

I am writing in support of Carl Sheline, who is running for mayor for the great city of Lewiston. Having worked alongside him on various committees and having served on the LA Metro Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, I have experienced his passion for our city. I believe Carl has the leadership skills to […]

On Sept. 21 the town of Sabattus considered having the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office handle its law enforcement services. Residents of Sabattus soundly rejected this with overwhelming numbers. Sabattus residents should be proud of our residents and community. The engagement of well over 100 residents shows the true heart of Sabattus. I am sure Acting […]

I was thinking the other day about the way things are right now. We are a hair away from a civil war. We are divided, and the socialists keeps coming up with ways to divide us more every day. We never see both sides of a news story anymore. The media is always finding ways to […]

Carl has ideas about continuing to invest in the economic development of the community, to attract new businesses and help current ones thrive, about cleaning up the graffiti and making our green […]

Too often, Auburn city leadership has taken the wrong path. Too many are beholden to outmoded ideas, retrograde trends, and regressive policies that make life more challenging and more expensive. From special interests, which organize to amplify niche agendas, to the sad institutional inertia of politics, as usual-moderate, pragmatic perspectives are drowned out by political […]

I write in response to the Sept. 19 article by Colin Woodard, “Monuments to notorious people are coming down and being renamed. What about Cumberland?” What’s next? Are we about ready to change names of our counties and towns? If so, we should start using names of fruits, nuts and vegetables to be safe. Cal […]

I would like to thank the city of Auburn for a very fast road patch. We live on a dirt road, but the first 100 feet is tar. Where the tar meets Route 4 was a couple pot holes that were getting bigger each week. I called the city Friday, Sept. 17. They came and […]
