I read in the Sun Journal (March 11) how the body or Trueman Moore was recovered from a lake in Maine. He had been walking with three friends but not one of them had the courage to grab him by the arm and take him away from the edge of the lake. It does not […]

Store showed respect for flag
I went Hannaford in Auburn some time ago and noticed that the American flag flying above its parking lot was tattered and torn. I spoke to a manager and pointed out that flag. He agreed that it needed replacement and, within a month, a brand new American flag was flying proudly, as it should. I […]

LePage stalling senior housing
There is a demonstrated need for housing for Maine’s senior citizens. It is no secret. The voters of Maine acknowledged that fact by approving a bond issue for housing for low-income seniors. But Gov. Paul LePage, who has often stated that he puts people before politics, has refused to release the funds. I was raised […]

Respect the U.S. flag
As a veteran of World War II, I respect the flag of the United States. So, it turns my stomach when I see a commercial on television that shows a doctor about to go into surgery wearing a representation of the U.S. flag on his head. To me, that is in very poor taste. Robert […]

Budget out of line with reality
Bucksport, Lincoln, East Millinocket, Millinocket, Old Town, Otis in Jay, Eastern Fine in Brewer, Pine State in Lisbon — mills shut down and jobs gone, some 120 jobs in Rumford, 300 at Verso in Jay. Company officials all cited the same reason — foreign competition and high taxes. Sure, it is nice that Rumford gets […]

Now I understand. Donald Trump has shown me how it is done. His inflammatory rhetoric and his many lies have […]

GOP’s predicament
The Republican establishment has a difficult time understanding the attraction of Donald Trump. I am a big fan of Mr. Trump, but if Republicans had spent as much time and energy fighting against Obama’s unconstitutional actions as they have working against Trump, they would not be in this predicament. With regard to Mitt Romney’s comments […]

Hate campaign out of control
The Republican Party lit a fire with its tea-party faction. Now, the fire is burning out of control. It is poetic justice that the GOP’s policy of exclusion and bigotry has spawned the uber-hater Donald Trump. He has won the support of a former grand dragon of the KKK, David Duke, and of Maine’s own […]

Starts the day off right
As a sports nut and a special education teacher, I have been so impressed with the in-depth coverage of the Maine high school Unified Basketball League in the sports pages. Between The Forecaster and the Sun journal, my day has started on such a positive note as of late. I am just happy to read […]

Do we want a dictator?
Donald Trump must be stopped. Many people who are old enough to remember the events of World War II are alarmed that Trump sounds and acts much like the dreadful dictator who caused it all, Adolf Hitler. The way Trump talks and shouts is like Hitler, seen in newsreels of the 1940s. Hitler told the […]
