    Men who beat women are acting like cowards

    It seems like every day that I pick up a newspaper, there’s at least one article about a man beating on a woman, or as the state calls it “domestic assault.” What’s so domestic about assault, anyway? It’s like asking what’s civil about war. I remember when a families business/problems were hidden behind closed doors. […]

    Blodgett didn’t deserve treatment from UMaine

    My concern is about the women’s basketball team at the University of Maine, Orono. Cindy Blodgett was head coach at the University of Maine, but it wasn’t long the administration decided she wasn’t good enough. So they called Blodgett and fired her, a no-class act. She did the best she could with what she had […]

    Lachowicz good choice for state Senate

    On June 12, Democrats in Albion, Benton, Clinton, Unity Township, Waterville and Winslow (District 25) will choose between two excellent candidates for state senator. I have been impressed by both and will actively support the winner. My strong support of Colleen Madigan Lachowicz of Waterville stems most of all from her longtime commitment and work […]

    Don’t confuse ‘cause,’ ‘risk’ of getting cancer

    Ron J. Stauble Sr.’s letter “Birth Control Dangerous and Misleading” was misleading in itself. In discussing cancers linked to oral contraceptive use, Stauble uses the word “cause,” whereas the correct term, as explained by the National Cancer Institute, is “risk.” The National Cancer Institute  (www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk) reports that use of oral contraceptives appears to slightly increase […]

    Loan forgiveness would help recruit social workers

    Social services are an ever-growing field in our economy. Social workers play a major role in an individual’s quality of life for populations of all ages. With the increase in need for services, especially with the geriatric population increasing, it would be beneficial for the government to offer loan forgiveness for social work students. Loan […]

    AARP volunteers helped 20,000 file tax returns

    I would like to express my appreciation to the almost 300 Mainers who volunteered for AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program this year. During the last 12 weeks of tax season, the Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 20,000 Mainers file their tax returns and answered questions for many others. In addition to IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers, the […]

    GOP presidents increased federal employees

    Last month I provided evidence of the Republican Party’s specious policy of trickle-down, voodoo economics. Now let’s look at another cherished and specious Republican claim, heard over and over again each election cycle and almost daily from Republican legislatures — smaller government. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, total nonmilitary federal employee numbers […]
