As we approach the mayoral election on Nov. 7, I have been reflecting on the positive changes that I have seen in Lewiston under Carl Sheline’s leadership as mayor. Carl has his finger on the pulse of Lewiston, particularly the business community. If residents spend time walking around Lewiston I guarantee they’ll find Carl checking […]

Generations of dedicated professionals and volunteers have protected our drinking water supply for good reason. Clean affordable water is a primary driver for attracting and keeping businesses and industries. Studies have shown that the region has no readily viable backup public water supply. In the last six years under Jason Levesque as Auburn’s mayor, I’ve […]

The men and woman of the Lewiston Firefighters Association are proud to endorse and ask for voters’ support for the reelection of Lee Clement to City Council Ward 6. Lee has been a steadfast supporter of public safety in his 45 years of public safety service. Public safety is a key and critical component of […]

I just have been informed that the Lewiston Housing Authority has no plans for a homeless shelter in the works. There has not been any information in the newspapers, even from any other agencies or Lewiston or Auburn civic leaders, about plans for a homeless shelter.

They have all pointed out Sheline’s many qualities as mayor, his presence at numerous city events, his work to improve our city, his work with various groups and his defense of protecting Lake Auburn. A friend of mine referred to […]

I’m writing to express my strong support for Susan Longchamps for Ward 2 Lewiston city councilor. Our current council is stuck, mired in the past, with arguments and missed opportunities all too frequent. Longchamps is a proven problem solver, an amazing listener and a clear thinker, able in the course of her business to see […]

How horrible is the atrocious war going on in Israel. Another unprovoked attack by Hamas is pure evil. How can anyone condone the feral behavior of Hamas? History has shown that if Israel is attacked, it will retaliate. If Hamas really cared about Palestinian lives, it wouldn’t have started the war. But I suppose leaders […]

I would like to address why some people who commit various crimes get a lot of their charges dismissed in the court. What’s the sense of arresting them, only to have their charges dismissed? And if they even go to jail, they are let out early for good behavior, only to continue their criminal acts. […]

I am writing this letter to express my appreciation to the many people in this community and other communities who have reached out to me to express their horror for the action of the Hamas fighters this past week. The unthinkable action of rounding up Israel men, women and children, looking them in the eyes, […]
