To the Editor: I cannot think of a better person to fill my Select Board seat than Carlton Sprague.  He is fine member of the community, family man and very active with the fish and game club. He will be fiscally conservative and help the town of Paris continue to grow. Most importantly he is […]

To the Editor: To the three gentlemen of Stoneham who rescued my car from the ditch on Forest Road on Tuesday evening, July 16. I extend my heartfelt gratitude.  You help to prove what I have always strongly believed, that there is value to be appreciated in New England and village neighbors and in village […]

To the Editor: It was Memorial Day, the day we are supposed to remember the fallen.  I was headed back to camp, maybe around 11 or noonish, and I stopped on the Lake Road to turn left onto the Harrison Road.  I believe the speed limit is 35 mph, and here they came, 15 or […]

When I first heard of the mere-exposure effect, I thought it was named after someone named Mere. But no, it was discovered in 1968 by social psychologist Robert Zajonc, and mere simply means mere, as in a mere coincidence or mere chance. The mere-exposure effect says that people tend to develop a preference for things […]

To the Editor: I was fortunate to be in the audience at the Norway grange last Saturday, seeing an OHMPAA production of the play “The Papermaker” by Monica Wood. I had seen the play at Portland Stage Company a few year’s ago. I loved it and wanted to see it again. When I learned that […]

To the Editor: “I hear the sound of distant drums.” The opening lyrics of “Danny Boy” should resonate with the citizens of the Oxford Hills. We have endured continuous warfare since 2003 with no end in sight. My grandchildren cannot recall a time of peace. The hawkish neo-cons are the force pushing this nation’s propaganda, […]

To the Editor: As the Tee-Ball and Softball Programs come to a close I would like to recognize and thank the coaches for their many hours spent planning, running practices and games, dragging/raking/lining the fields, etc. A few of our coaches also coach one sometimes two other teams which is a big commitment for the […]
