Any new jobs better than losing jobs under Bush
If you were losing $700 per month and then you made a change and started earning $200 per month, would that be a good change or a bad change? And suppose you earned $90 one month. Is that still a good change from losing $700 per month or would you want to go back to […]

Writer apparently misread another’s letter
Carla Heisten (letter, May 24) apparently misunderstood Abby Shahn’s letter, “Those on the bottom spend money, help economy,” (May 17). Heisten said she had worked very hard for low wages, and why does Shahn feel that she’s owed a “nice little trip to the movies with her kids?” paid for by taxes Heisten pays. Heisten […]

Police announcement about Ayla unprofessional
I have wanted many times to write in to the newspaper and express my opinion, but have refrained until now. Never have I been so livid about an article as I am about the recent front-page announcement about the Ayla Reynolds case given by the Waterville Police Department. How totally unprofessional. How dare they make […]

Internet media exploit tragedies from ‘bath salts’
It is quite disturbing to observe the recently numerous, national incidences of shockingly gro-tesque assaults and murders. More disturbing still is how many Internet media outlets and some traditional media have incontrovertibly exploited these tragedies for their own popularity and thus financial gain. These cases have become sensationalized distractions, fictionalized as a “Zombie Apocalypse,” rather […]

We need more TV shows with educational twist
The May 19 newspaper had an article titled “TV networks go cuckoo over comedy.” It implied the networks think people watch sit-coms over serious programs and dramas. I do not watch any of the sit-coms noted in the article. In fact, I deliberately avoid sit-coms in general. Sophomoric “comedy” shows are populated mostly by people […]

Governments use secrets to conceal truth
What do secrets and lies have in common with each other? Beyond the fact that both are offensive, of course. First, I’d like to talk about secrets. So many secrets these days. The secrets held by local town governments go under the title of “executive session .” That’s what town managers and selectmen invoke when […]

Hey, local veterinarians: hHow about senior discount?
A lot of senior citizens have only their pets for company. Because of high veterinary prices, however, many have been forced to give up their pets (or not get one at all).

Hey, local veterinarians: how about senior discount?
A lot of senior citizens have only their pets for company. Because of high veterinary prices, however, many have been forced to give up their pets (or not get one at all). I have an idea, even a plea, for local veterinarians: Why can’t they have a senior citizens’ discount or some other sort of […]

Reisert’s right-wing screeds are just nonsense
Why do you continue to publish right-wing screeds from Joseph Reisert? His latest claim is that both parties are “shifting away from politics’ ideological center,” which is a claim that far-right pundits make to mask the fact that the tea party has driven the Republican party so far to the right that moderate Republicans are […]

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. […]
