In response to a letter by Elaine Makas (May 31), I firmly believe that employees have a responsibility to adhere to policies set by their employers, regardless if employed by a sports team, as a fast-food associate, dental hygienist, etc. The work place is just that — a place for work. Peacefully protesting perceived social […]

Commendations in order
As the coordinator for Gifted and Talented at Edward Little High School, I have seen many students take rigorous, content-driven Advanced Placement courses. At the end of the school year, they can take an AP exam for $94. Good grades in the courses and scores on the exam can result in receiving college credit. College […]

Mason committed to state's future
I am proud to support Garrett Mason for governor. I have known him for 15 years — we came up in the party together. I have seen how hard he works to accomplish what he believes in, and his record in the Maine Senate is a testament to his leadership and persuasion skills. Like me, […]

Tips for job-hunters
Concerning job searches, I have heard that an applicant should put on a resume only what the potential employer is looking for in a candidate. Too many degrees can be seen as being over-qualified. When applying, people should include only degrees needed for the job. Employers are looking for candidates who can benefit the company […]

Deceptive agenda being pushed
Thanks to road signs telling me to vote “yes” to save ranked-choice voting, I’ll be voting “no” this June 12. How this issue ever got approved for referendum in the first place is a head-scratcher. The constitution clearly states that the candidate who wins a plurality of votes wins the election. Period. The people who […]

Thanks for a kindness offered
Last week, I arrived in Lewiston from Portland to place flowers on my parents’ grave. I was disappointed to find the main gate at Riverside Cemetery locked. The grave site is at a farther end. I am 90 years old; carrying a large container of flowers that distance was not an option. I was pondering […]

Proud to support Janet Mills
Municipal officials have a tough job, made harder through the past several years because of reductions in revenue sharing. Maine’s economic future and the health of its communities depends on finding more common ground and seeking collaboration, not mindless partisanship. I came to know Janet Mills in 1980 when she was elected district attorney for […]

Freedom of speech for all
Let me see if I have this right — freedom of speech allows the Ku Klux Klan to march wherever they choose and chant whatever they choose. But, if NFL players peacefully and silently protest bias by taking a knee during the National Anthem, they are fined by the league and threatened by President Trump, […]

McGrane is one of the people
Gary McGrane will get my vote for Maine Senate in the Democratic primary on June 12. He has lived in Jay for 40 years and raised his three children here, has worked in Jay and knows the people here, and currently serves the people of Jay as a town selectman and knows the issues here. […]
