Old Marden’s store site would be good for police
Building a police station in the location proposed, at the Head of the Falls, near the Morning Sentinel building, would be detrimental for the future of downtown Waterville. One thing city dwellers everywhere agree on is the value of open space, especially when planted with trees, shrubs, grass or flowers. Common, open space is essential. […]
People of Waterville should vote on police station site
I have an observation and a suggestion about the controversial new police station location. I not only read the comments made at the meeting on Monday, but also heard from attendees. I wish I could have been there. I agree we need a new police station; no question about that. When I was a young […]

Maybe I am missing something here, but coming right up on the calendar is the Taste of Waterville, arguably our biggest annual local outdoor festival. […]
‘Cross Man’ column a great human-interest story
I just read Amy Calder’s column about John Lewis, “the Cross Man.” What a great human interest story. I’ve seen this guy many times over the past few years as I drove through town. I’d spot him walking along Winslow and Waterville streets, waving his cross and waving to people who’d pass him by. I […]
