Craft a law to protect the elderly
According to a Waterville Sentinel article posted on the Sun Journal website (Feb. 7), in response to an elderly couple in Albion losing their home by foreclosure, Gov. Paul LePage urged state lawmakers “to protect the elderly from tax lien foreclosures [because] 12 elderly Mainers have lost their homes to foreclosure” in the past year. […]

Dentistry with A Heart Day
Kudos to Dr. Scott Bernardy and the dental team at Riverview Dental for continuing the legacy of Dentistry with A Heart Day. Several area dentists have been involved through the years with that effort, which started around Valentine’s Day many years ago. I recall a line of needy people standing outside my office doors at […]

I'll be voting for Jared Golden
I am an independent who is going to switch for the primary so I can vote for Jared Golden. He is a young man who joined the Marines, served in Iraq and Afghanistan and understands the investment veterans have made in this country.

Good idea to wear helmets
I was pleased to read in the Sun Journal (April 22) that helmet usage was increasing in girls’ lacrosse. In the 1990s, I skied 60 or more days a year, often going a whole year without falling — too cool or, rather, too stupid, to wear a helmet. In 1998, I fell on my first […]

Extolling the kind of love Thomas extols, the lyrics say that exclusive devotion between two people leading to marriage is […]

Vote in all elections
The U.S. Constitution begins with the words “We the people …” and basically says that all citizens have the right to vote. I encourage all citizens to register to vote and then vote in all elections.

Join me in voting for Mark Eves
During the Democratic governor’s debate recently, I was glad to hear the candidates discuss the need for a governor who will stand up for working families. For me, it is a no-brainer — Mark Eves is the best. I served in the Legislature with both him and Janet Mills and only Eves was a consistent […]

No matter their political party, people are tired of lawmakers in Augusta not working with each other because of their political party. I support Adam Cote for governor, because he will put the partisan […]
