Independent thinker Grant inspired by results
As the Democratic primary vote on June 12 approaches, I hope people will take some time to learn about Gay Grant, candidate for House District 59, which includes Gardiner and Randolph. She isn’t one of the “usual suspects,” and she isn’t the typical politician. Gay owns a small business that has helped boost local organizations […]

Turn Elm St. church into community center
We don’t need another elderly housing project in the area at this time. It would be nice if the city of Waterville bought St. Francis de Sales church on Elm Street and turned it into a museum that highlights the history of the Waterville area along with preserving the history and integrity of the church. […]

She has more than 15 years of on-the-job experience, working with the mentally ill and other disadvantaged people living in Maine.

Lovely evening of music at Colby’s Lorimer Chapel
This letter is somewhat late in expressing my appreciation for the lovely evening of music that I recently experienced at Colby’s Lorimer Chapel. The Colby College Chorale, the Colby Kennebec Choral Society and the Colby Symphony Orchestra gave an unforgettable performance of “The Creation” by Franz Josef Haydn. The soloists were superb; everything blended into […]

Lachowicz understands needs of our families
I am voting for Colleen Lachowicz in the Democratic primary for Senate District 25 on June 12. Lachowicz works directly, day in and day out, with families here in Central Maine. She understands the issues and sees firsthand how they affect the children we care about. She sees those children come to school without food […]

Young man helped woman above and beyond
I was shopping for plants at the Agway store in Skowhegan recently on a very hot day. After a few minutes in the greenhouse I was overcome by the humidity and started to have a hard time breathing. The young man who was attending to the greenhouse offered to help me. He pushed my cart […]

Proud to see unveiling of new veterans monument
It was with great pride to see the unveiling of the new veterans monument in Hallowell. I volunteered to reconstruct the World War ll monument by the post office in 1993 as a tribute to my father, Sheridan Truman, whose name was on the original that was dedicated in 1945. A newspaper picture and most […]

Collins walks the walk with Alzheimer’s families
Eighteen years ago, Sen. Susan Collins volunteered to walk door to door in Farmington with me during the first of my three campaigns for the Maine Senate. She’s walking now with 25,000-plus Mainers afflicted with Alzheimer’s, and with me and thousands of caregivers. Her family knows the pain. Collins’s informative Kennebec Journal opinion page piece, […]

Good things happening in all levels of our schools
As I prepared to see my first child walk across the stage to receive his diploma, I started thinking about all the good things that go on in our schools. We have students learning about giving back to their community at all levels through service projects. At the last school board meeting, we had a […]

Signing no-tax pledge one step in right direction
In response to Donald Chalmers’ letter published May 28, I have, in fact, signed a pledge to never vote to raise taxes on Maine and America’s hard-working people. Simply put, we have a spending problem in Washington, not a revenue problem, and our economy and America’s strength as a nation are in jeopardy. What we […]
