I love guns. I look at them the same way that some people look at paintings. I admire their craftsmanship and design. Things like a schnabel forend, twin barrels, or just the simplicity of a break-down single barrel merits my wonder and appreciation. It distresses me to see the mess the National Rifle Association has […]

Holy Savior School closing
Last year, St. Dominic’s took over the operation of the Holy Savior School in Rumford. Parishioners and parents of children who attend the school were told that would benefit curriculum offerings. Imagine the surprise, shortly after notices were sent home to register for the 2018-2019 school year, we find out the school will be closing. […]

Poliquin hasn't gotten the message
My son and I were forced to go without insurance for a year due to policies supported by Rep. Bruce Poliquin. Fortunately, my son remained in good health, but I was not so lucky. I had a tooth with a cavity that got infected and had to miss days of work due to pain. That […]

Keep America strong and free
I thank MSNBC. On Saturday, March 24, it showed the young people’s March For Our Lives with no commercial interruption. Those young people have strong and powerful voices and are not afraid to speak out. I look forward to seeing them someday take over the U.S. Congress and the presidency. One spoke of “coming together, […]

School closing came as a shock
There is no greater responsibility that falls upon any community than the education of its children. The future health and well-being of any community depends on it. Churches and schools are established within communities at the will and desire of the people to come together for common causes and beliefs. The result is a stronger […]

Poliquin fights for Maine people
Congressman Bruce Poliquin has followed in the footsteps of great Maine leaders past, earning a reputation in Washington, D.C., as one of the few people down there with integrity. People in Androscoggin County may not know this, but people in Washington, of both major political parties, have given Poliquin the nickname, “Energizer Bunny.” That’s because […]

Poliquin taking Maine backward
I take medications every day that grant me control over my reproductive health and the ability to manage my depression and anxiety symptoms. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act’s provision that allows me to stay on my parents health insurance until I am 26, those medication costs are manageable, plus I am able to access […]

Downing should step down
I learned of Mike Downing’s termination of employment with RSU 16 and his subsequent election to the school board in an article published in the Sun Journal (Wednesday, March 28). To say that I was shocked by the article would be an understatement. As a parent, a woman and a person of African American descent, […]
