    Only scum of the earth steal from the dead

    How low can you get? I hope the thief who stole that angel and the cross from the graves of my baby and my mother thinks about how low he is when he looks at them. Stealing from the dead is about as low as a snake’s belly, the scum of the earth. Barbara L. […]

    Republicans trying to buy this election

    I doubt that anyone reading this is a millionaire or billionaire. If they are, good for them. The Republicans, with their Super PACs, special interests and billionaires, are trying to buy this election. They want to buy their way into the White House. They are willing to spend more than $1 billion to defeat President […]

    We shouldn’t be killing wolves from airplanes

    Wolves in the Midwest have been subject to “aerial killing” and accused of destroying livestock. I disagree. I do not believe that these wolves are dangerous. Perhaps, if a mother wolf felt that her pups were in jeopardy, she might attack in their defense, but only then. Like most animals, wolves will leave you alone […]

    New trail-bike park something to celebrate

    What an honor to be at the grand opening celebration for the new River Trail and Mountain Bike Park along the Skowhegan Gorge. The trail off Mount Pleasant Avenue is something to be celebrated. My family and I see the benefit of the new trail almost daily. Each time we are on it, we see […]

    Money collected could be put better use

    On page B2 of the June 2 Morning Sentinel was an article about fund-raising for gay marriage. The article stated that Mainers United for Marriage has collected $465,559 so far this year to support gay marriage in Maine. I think this money should be put to better use. I mean, Mainers already have voted against […]

    Lachowicz believes all have voice in political process

    I first met Colleen Lachowicz in 2008, during her tenure as Waterville Democratic Party chairwoman. A lot of things about her impressed me back then, but there was one very memorable thing. A lot of campaign volunteers came and went out of a house on Gilman Street in Waterville that year. What most didn’t realize […]

    Lachowicz stood by family of murder victim

    In 2006, my mother, Cheryl Murdoch, was murdered by Shannon Atwood. Only one person was there for me and my family — Colleen Lachowicz. When I first met her, I told her she would get rid of me like every other counselor I had. But she didn’t. She never gave up on me or my […]

    Women at lunch reminded ‘angel’ of his mother

    Two of my friends and I were enjoying lunch at Holly & Doug’s Restaurant the Saturday before Memorial Day. We were pleasantly surprised when our waitress told us our meals had been paid for by a gentleman who’d left this note for us, along with a $10 bill for our dessert: “Ladies, Seeing you ladies […]

    Grateful for honest woman who returned purse

    On May 25, after shopping at Walmart, I took my purchases to my car and returned the shopping cart to a cart corral. I didn’t realize until I got home that I did not have my purse. I went back to Walmart, looked for my purse but couldn’t find it. I went inside to the […]

    SAD 49 should be as frugal as towns must be

    As a town councilor for the town of Fairfield, it is my responsibility to provide taxpayers with information to make just decisions. If the proposed budget passes, we will all look an increased mil rate, making it more difficult to survive in tough times, let alone thrive and encourage development. Last year, the MSAD 49 […]
