Anyone watching the news or reading about COVID-19 has probably noticed that many Trump followers are quite aggressive about not wearing masks. Their attitude seems to be,” I know my rights and you can’t make me do anything,” even though medical sources say that the best way to fight this disease is for everyone to […]

It is hard to believe that, in 2020, there are areas in Maine that do not have access to high-speed internet; but the fact is there are rural locations that are unserved and underserved. It is time for the entire State of Maine to be connected to 21st century technology so that all students can […]

The Boston Massacre (five deaths by British soldiers policing Boston, guarding the King’s money) triggered the American Revolution. Patriots destroyed property before dumping the tea — targeting those who had helped the British. We now experience similar events that led to the Declaration of Independence, but on a larger scale. More blood has spilled and […]

As a physician, age vulnerable to the coronavirus and responsible to nursing home patients, I am deeply saddened and appalled by the willingness of all too many of my fellow Mainers to wander about in stores and other places where distancing is impossible without a mask.

We are writing to support two outstanding candidates, Ned Claxton for Senate District 20 and Bettyann Sheats for House District 64.

For the next couple of years […]

The voters of Maine Senate District 22 need a strong advocate in Augusta. Martha Poliquin will be the people’s voice. Poliquin has devoted herself to the community, through volunteer work with Scouting groups, Literacy Volunteers, the performing arts and on the Lisbon School Committee, just to name a few. She believes strongly in public education, […]

May we remember, at this time in America, the direction that was presented to the nation to address the evil of discrimination against people of color during the 20th century. May we remember that Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. presented non-violent activity to address the evil of discrimination with its accompanying physical violence. May we […]

My dad, Donald Gosselin, was being honored June 18 at the Veterans Park in Lewiston at the foot of the falls (photo, Sun Journal, June 19).

Construction workers removed […]
