Many Gardiner residents happy with their city
My husband and I moved to Gardiner in 2006 from southern Maine. We moved here for the beauty of the town, the potential we saw and for the numerous friendly people we met. Six years later, we are still happy with our decision. We have opened two small businesses in town, renovated an old building […]

Contraception is chemical warfare against women
David Mills’ Feb. 14 letter shows outrage with the Catholic Church’s 2000 year teachings against contraception and same-sex practice. After the Reformation, all Christian denominations condemned contraception until the Lamberth Conference in 1930, when the Christian teaching of 20 centuries was broken. In the 1500s, a Protestant theologian said, “Birth control was the murder of […]

Snow’s blue luminescence is God’s light radiating out
Ah, the deep snows of Maine winter are back. How I’ve missed the snow. Snow-white, pure-white, angel-white snow. I rushed out, early morn, longing to see what I have missed since Mother Earth was a year younger. “Ah! There it is!” Radiating from inside only the deepest snows is that magical, marvelous, miraculous ocean-blue luminescence […]

Vassalboro residents hoped to discuss LURC bill
It was very disappointing to several residents of Vassalboro when Rep. Karen Foster failed to show up for a scheduled public meeting with her constituents on Feb. 9. We had invited her to come and discuss several bills that Vassalboro citizens were interested in, including bills that her committees would soon hold a public hearing […]

Report reveals concerns of older, disabled adults
Many Mainers are touched by family caregiving issues. It can be challenging to find the right services and the best support systems; just the application processes alone can be difficult to navigate. The Maine Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program held statewide listening sessions across the state to hear Mainers’ voices about issues related to long-term care. […]

Paul is 2012’s only conservative candidate
We have long put up with corrupt leaders, both on the left and the right. Serious concerns about ethics in our state caucuses have come to light regarding hundreds of missing votes. Most of the missing votes were cast for 2012’s only conservative candidate, Ron Paul. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget, never […]

‘Ride for Rover’ letter one of best in a long time
I couldn’t agree more with the “Ride for Rover” reader’s opinion (letter, Buddy Doyle) in the Feb. 27 paper. I am not only a motorcycle rider myself, but also a mother to three of God’s most loving creations and man’s best friends. I read this letter and it touched my heart. I was instantly excited […]

GOP candidates offer bad ideas about Iran crisis
I am extremely troubled by the hawkish rhetoric regarding Iran that has become the party line in the GOP debates during the primary season. The ill-informed message being trumpeted by the Republican candidates is dangerous and overly simplistic, and it has no place in serious policy discussions. Mitt Romney’s assertion in the Arizona debate that […]

Don’t use taxpayer funds on east-west highway
I am worried about the east-west highway bill, L.D. 1671, before the Legislature. Taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent on private projects, such as this highway. Legislators say we don’t have enough funds for basic needs, such as fixing our existing roads, yet some of them sponsor a bill to use state money to study the […]

Other technology would have worked better for TV
I can understand the necessity of the digital changeover, but why did Time Warner have to go with poor-quality converter boxes with near-useless remotes? If Time Warner wanted to protect itself by scrambling the signal, why not provide a small, in-line decoder that would enable us to use the far superior remote that came with […]
