Brakey delivered on every point
Two years ago, a young man knocked on my door and wanted to talk about the problems Mainers face. He introduced himself as Eric Brakey. We talked about 20 minutes and I knew this young man would work hard for his constituents. He delivered on every point that made life better for everyone. I cannot […]

Close the Andover School
The Andover School must close. The dreamers just gave the superintendent a $14,000 raise. I wonder how many grants he obtained for the school.

The life cycle of fall foliage
Leaves from all trees produce the sugar essential for tree survival. This sugar is made when carbon dioxide combines with chlorophyll (the pigment that produces the green color), then further blends with oxygen and hydrogen to form dextrose, a form of sugar. That process, called photosynthesis, favors temperatures of about 70 degrees and diffused sunlight. […]
