Man’s checkered past irrelevant to accident
Here we see again the poor editorial judgment displayed by your paper. On May 18, the lead story on the front page is an article about the guy who died working on a camp, “Family Man Battled Demons.” He may have had a checkered past, but is that really relevant to the accident? I think […]

Man paid the legal price for his past before he died
I was thoroughly disgusted with the Morning Sentinel’s article of May 18, “Family Man Battled Demons,” in which the Sentinel choose to splatter Robert Rodriques Jr.’s past all over the front page. I did not know Rodriques and know nothing about his past. All I do know is that he paid the legal price for […]

Lachowicz is just what we need in Legislature
I’d like to encourage people to vote for Colleen Lachowicz in the June 12 Democratic primary for state Senate District 25. I work with Lachowicz and I know that she is well-informed, caring and effective. Just what we need in our Legislature. Lachowicz listens to others and tries to understand even when she disagrees. Many […]

Police record had nothing to do with man’s accident
I am incensed at the front-page article of May 18 about Robert Marandes Rodriques Jr., “Family Man Battled Demons.” He was helping to repair a foundation, and his police record had nothing to do with his accident. I find this article extremely insensitive and in very poor taste. His ex-wife and children are hurting enough […]

Enjoyed article about Frank Knight and elm
I enjoyed so much the article about Frank Knight and the elm tree, Herbie. In this day and age of contentious elections, economic distress, rising taxes, unemployment, death and destruction, it is a breath of fresh air to read a story so heartwarming. Good job and hats off to all those involved in writing and […]

It’s empowering to produce our own food
As Bonnie Sammons says in her Maine Compass, “Locally produced food is more sustainable way to grow” (May 14), this is a good time for us to consider growing some of our own food. It is empowering to produce our own food and gratifying to see the impact it has on our grocery bills. People […]

The man did what he did and served his time
I was appalled to see on the front page of the May 18 Kennebec Journal an article, “Dead man had criminal record,” about Robert Rodriques, the man killed in the house collapse in Albion . Was this necessary? The man did what he did and served his time. He had other pending charges. So what? […]

Government shouldn’t pay for people to go to movies
Abby Shahn (letter, “Those on the bottom spend money, help economy,” May 17) said when people get help with their needs, they buy food, clothing “and take the kids to a movie.” Excuse me, did I hear that correctly? “A movie”? That is what she considers a need? I have worked hard for many years […]

King respects and cares about our veterans
During his eight years as governor, Angus King and I had the opportunity to work with and support many military veterans and veterans’ organizations at both the state and the federal levels. The three veterans’ priorities King has established as he seeks to become our U.S. senator — health care, education and employment — are […]

Maybe former UMS trustee not best source for info
My initial reaction to the opinion expressed by Wick Johnson, former University of Maine System trustee, was disbelief. First, his flippant remarks seemed to indicate the hiring practices of circumventing the process and paying six-figure salaries to unqualified or minimally qualified political appointees is “OK” and “done all the time.” Second, his indignation with “where […]
