I think Peter Vigue is wrong about Poland Spring (column, Sun Journal, Oct. 9). Indiscriminately taking water out of the ground for bottling, or any other purpose, depletes a resource that, so far this year, is not being renewed. That same Sun Journal featured articles describing the extent of the present drought, with wells going […]

How can Christians support Trump?
I have been an evangelical Christian for decades, raised in a Catholic faith I still hold in esteem. I cannot imagine how fellow Christians can, in light of recent revelations regarding Donald Trump’s predatory sexual comments — expressing his “celebrity” entitlement to grab women’s genitals he felt attracted to (with his wife eight-months pregnant) — […]

Fire station alternative
The town of Livermore Falls is holding a town meeting Tuesday, Oct. 18, at which time its citizens will be asked to vote on borrowing the funds necessary to build a new fire station. The warrant article is asking the town, and its taxpayers, to spend up to $2.2 million to build the new station. […]

Question 3 simply a bad idea
This is in response to Steve Mortimer’s response (Oct. 9) to my letter (Oct. 6). He missed a point. I clearly stated that I am not opposed to background checks, just how Question 3 is written. I will mention, too, that there is a difference between Michael Bloomberg spending millions in Maine pushing Question 3 […]

Obnoxious phone calls
What gives out-of-state insensitive people the right to disturb people on a Sunday afternoon? Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest. I did not sleep well Saturday night, so I was taking a much-needed nap when I was rudely awakened from a sound sleep only to find it was someone calling to see […]

Sheats does her research
Those people living in District 64 (Minot, part of Auburn) have the opportunity in the coming election to choose as their legislative representative someone who can be trusted to appreciate the interests and concerns of all Mainers — rich or poor or middle class. Bettyann Sheats’ life experiences as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot, mother, […]

Cancel the flawed charter
Rumford residents should expect a new awakening for a common sense approach to the emotional aspects of the Rumford Water District’s process potential to expand their service to an interstate commerce business. The March 2016 district charter revision requires substantially greater emphasis on following state statutes. It is not too late for district trustees to […]

Riley uses solid common sense
Residents of the Jay and Livermore Falls area are fortunate to have Tina Riley on the ballot in the upcoming race. I have known Riley for well over 20 years and I believe she will represent that area best. First and foremost is her honesty and integrity. I have watched her be an enthusiastic and […]

Curtail negative campaigning
I write in defense of Emily Cain, who is the target of an attack ad regarding her sponsorship of legislation that enacted childhood obesity prevention programs in Maine schools. As a physician, I feel Cain (no relation) should be applauded for supporting efforts to reduce the high rate of obesity among Maine children, not vilified. […]

Gov. Pence won that debate
I watched the debate between Gov. Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Kaine. In my opinion, Pence won easily. He didn’t get to say much, what with all Kaine’s interruptions. Kaine was very rude. If Hillary Clinton becomes president and anything happened to her, God have mercy on this country. I cannot imagine Kaine as president. […]
