Owner of burned property clarifies ambiguous report

I am not an arsonist. But the ambiguous reporting in the Kennebec Journal about the criminal investigation into the fire that destroyed a building I owned in Randolph last spring has to leave readers wondering. The Oct. 18 headline claims, “Arson Case Might Involve More Suspects.” The story then reports that James St. Amand, who […]

Vose, Smith have solid record of service to city

On Nov. 8, Augusta voters will elect two first-time, at-large city councilors. Of the four candidates, only two have a solid and diverse history of serving the residents of Augusta. Cory Vose and David Smith have volunteered, in numerous ways, for many years; their records of local achievements and community service demonstrate unusual competence and […]

Use alternative route in Farmingdale to speed work

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Dead River gas station on Maine Avenue in Farmingdale to fuel up my vehicle. I used the alternate route to get there. I was surprised to see traffic backed up to the VIP store. The traffic coming the other way was just as bad. I don’t […]

Some of our problems could be fixed if reported

If the news doesn’t paint Maine as the second Garden of Eden, the news is not reported. Biased news is not news. When the newspaper reports about an auto accident and people who are wearing seat belts are injured , the belts are not mentioned in the report. If they are not using seat belts, […]

Occupiers have opened door for living justice

Your editorial on Oct. 19, “Radical groups fill void of occupy protests lack of focus, goals,” suggests a narrow understanding of the objectives of the Occupy participants, particularly here in Portland and Augusta. After several visits to both locations, I am convinced that all the identified goals of Occupy Augusta and Portland can be expressed […]

Cahill knowledgeable about Anson town affairs

I have had the privilege of serving the people of Anson on the board of selectmen for the last 14 years. It is only because of health reasons that I cannot continue. I thank those who have supported me. Many people have asked who I would pick to replace me. My answer, without reservation, is […]

Approving torture is not loving one’s enemies

Jesus says in the book of Mark to love God with all of our mind, heart, soul and strength. Jesus also says to love our neighbor as ourselves. I believe that it was recently reported that Sen. Susan Collins was present at a meeting where Moammar Gadhafi was offered weapons. If this is true, then […]
