Here’s hoping we can fix LePage mistake next vote
Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said in a decision, “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” This certainly rings true here in Maine and its choice of Paul LePage as governor. He still has not learned to engage his brain before opening his mouth. His offhanded […]

‘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 […]

Why not use Head of Falls for Taste of Waterville?
The use of the city-owned land at Head of Falls has been under much scrutiny over recent months, most notably for its potential as a public gathering and festival space. 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. […]

Vote not about marriage equality, but perversion
I am commenting on the column by J.P. Devine, “Couple joins ‘Gayby Boom'” on July 1, about a lesbian who is having a girl baby. Devine, who has called himself an atheist or agnostic, seems to be quite excited by this farce and seems to think everybody else is also, especially her teacher-partner. Devine’s column […]

10 days in jail not enough for torture of bobcat
I am writing in regard to the men who called themselves Maine Guides, former or current, it doesn’t matter. I have another word for them: evil (article, July 4). To get only 10 days in jail for the torture and death of a bobcat is an absolute injustice. The terror and pain that poor animal […]

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 […]

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. […]

Pleased Crockett seeks return to Legislature
We are pleased to read that former lawmaker Patsy Crockett will seek the nomination to run for state House of Representatives District 57. She always took the time to talk with us about any issues and committee meetings that pertained to our cause when she previously served in the House of Representatives. Crockett is a […]

Winthrop’s two budgets combine for tax increase
We were deeply disappointed to read in the July 11 Kennebec Journal that Winthrop voted down the 2012-13 school budget. We reviewed the budget in detail before attending the last school board meeting in June. School administrators and school board members were facing a $650,000 gap between the current and proposed budgets and, through a […]

It’s wrong to steal from someone’s grave
I wonder why people feel they have the need to steal from graves. My granddaughter passed in 2010 and is laid to rest in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Augusta. Someone has taken the stuff we put there. This is very upsetting. Why? This is wrong. Pat Salmonson Vassalboro
