This is in response to William Larochelle’s letter (March 4). It is not a rebuttal to his point about rejecting the doctrine of hell, only an assertion that one can dismiss that idea and still retain one’s faith. One book I recommend is Pastor Rob Bell’s “Love Wins,” which demonstrates a growing understanding within Christianity […]

Practitioners' roles improving
As a home health care provider here in Maine, we greatly appreciate the recent introduction of a bill in Congress that will improve access for Medicare beneficiaries by allowing mid-level practitioners to order home health services. Sen. Susan Collins has introduced the Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act, which instructs the Centers for Medicare & […]

Opposing White House agenda
Sen. Susan Collins complained that the “lack of civility” shown by her constituents during recent peaceful protests “is really disturbing.” Collins specifically criticized Mainers for Accountable Leadership for labeling her as inaccessible to Maine voters after she met with eight of the group’s members. MFAL is one among many new citizen organizations concerned about an […]

Do no harm to watershed lands
The letter from Michael Lachance (March 5) about winter recreation on Lake Auburn has prompted me to offer the following information. I have been a member of the Lake Auburn Watershed Protection Commission for more than 20 years and can state emphatically that the mission of the Commission is the same as it was then: […]

Everything made in China
Recently I ordered a mug from Amazon that had decals on both sides of it stating the 45th president of the U.S., Donald J. Trump. As I looked at the mug closely, I found the words “Made in China” on the bottom. I never would have purchased the mug if I had known. I bet […]

The dignified solution
Maine is considering legalizing physician assisted suicide (LD 347). Why would we want that? With appropriate palliative care, nearly all pain can be treated. According to a story published in the Los Angeles Times (Aug., 2016), it takes about 90 pills to commit PAS and it has been reported that it is frequently not a […]

No need to worry, Rumford
Should Poland Spring forget about Rumford, just as other businesses have? Should Poland Spring find another place where it would be more welcomed? It is my belief that if the water is monitored closely, the water source won’t run dry. If the contract is written good enough to please both sides, it will work. Poland […]

Merger a foolish idea
The proposed merger of Lewiston and Auburn is a silly idea. First of all, what would happen to all the streets that have the same names? Maps and GPS systems would have to change. At what cost? I don’t know how many people have printed address labels, but those would become useless. The labels are […]

Clean up after fido
On occasion, I walk my granddaughter to McMahon School. I can’t believe how much dog feces we have encountered on the sidewalk. Recently, there were at least a dozen bowser bombs — some right in front of school. Although many dog owners pick up after their pooches, others don’t. I have to carry doggy spray […]
