I support Elijah Breton for Maine House District 65. I was fortunate to be home when he was canvassing the neighborhood and he was gracious enough to join me for dinner. I was instantly impressed by his warm and thoughtful personality, as well as his progressive vision for Maine. He cares about the issues that […]

Riley will fight for us
Intelligent people who want to be state Representatives are in demand. If one adds to that quality an abundance of wisdom and compassion, then you get a very rare commodity, and that is Tina Riley. With a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face, she is always the first to understand the […]

One of the keys to truly representing a community is being actively involved in the community. One could say that Jim Handy hasn’t just decided to get involved in the community because it is an election year — he has been involved in his community for many years.

Be wary of Sen. King
I write this as a warning to Maine lobstermen. They should be wary of any involvement by Sen. Angus King in the Sweden, European Union fight over importing Maine lobsters. I remind folks of how fast he disregarded the people of the North Woods who opposed Roxanne Quimby’s gift that became a national monument. One […]

Move Kennedy Park gazebo
This is in reference to the story “Trying to protect Kennedy Park gazebo from vandals” (Sept. 22). I have utilized the gazebo for more than 15 years. I have always said that the gazebo needs to have more use by church groups, civic organizations and musical groups. If it is not used for good things, […]
