I am very frustrated about this election year. The focus seems to be on the candidates’ negative talk. I believe that conservatives and liberals have the ability to be very creative if they are willing to work together, with more respect in their efforts. I am taking the time to research the candidates’ history, instead […]

I am a teacher and a parent of three students in Lewiston, and I consider Lewiston public schools fortunate to have Roy serving the community as a School Board member.

Clinton will let in terrorists
A 22-year-old Syrian refugee was recently arrested in Germany. Homemade explosives were found in his apartment. They were intended for use in a terrorist act. Hillary Clinton supports letting tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States. How many terrorists will be among those refugees? How many will come in as innocent young […]
