I was pleasantly surprised to see some coverage of the U.S. Women’s National Hockey Team in the Sun Journal on Saturday, Dec. 17. In the past, I have complained about the lack of coverage of the women’s team when they play in the Four Nations Cup (held in Finland in November this year that the […]

Issues of ethics and trust
I am hoping that Susan Collins, Maine’s senior senator, will make herself visible and raise her voice to have a complete investigation into the recent presidential election interference by the Russians. That is far beyond a partisan issue, as is Donald Trump’s continued failure to release his tax information and disentangle his finances prior to […]

Rumford would benefit
In my role at the Maine Motor Transport Association, I have the privilege of meeting with business owners and operators across Maine. Many people may not realize what a positive impact Maine’s trucking industry has on the economy and work force, and how fortunate we are as a state to have so many responsible employers […]

Democrats at it again
The Democrats (and some Liberal Republicans) are now trying to claim the Russians stole the election and gave it to Donald Trump. Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks, states it was the work of insiders — a National Security Agency individual and another who was a member of the Democratic National Committee — and that […]

So far it has been his […]

Support the popular vote compact
The alleged Russian hacking of the recent U.S. presidential election definitely needs to be investigated, followed up and confronted in some fashion. But it should be noted that the U.S. subverts elections every four years via the Electoral College. This year, the “winner,” in fact, did not win a majority of the votes. In fact, […]

More fact-based headlines
The headline “Wife blamed for deaths” (Dec. 12) regarding the tragic deaths in Hebron was troublesome and untrue. When I noticed that the article was written by a journalist from The Washington Post, I looked online for the article. The Washington Post headline read: “A pastor’s disturbing message to his wife before killing his daughter […]

Investigate Russian involvement
In the “Federalist Papers,” Alexander Hamilton spelled out clearly that one of the main justifications for the Electoral College was protection from interference in elections from foreign powers; and it was revealed that Russia allegedly had a direct influence in Donald Trump’s victory. How is it at all ethical (or legal) for the electors to […]

LHS Drama Club deserves support
On Saturday, Dec. 10, I attended the 2 p.m. presentation of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” put on by the Lewiston High School Drama Club. The students did an outstanding job presenting a difficult subject and should be commended. Sadly, public attendance was lacking. The work these young people did deserved much better attendance. I […]
