    Ingeborg Lapointe is an extraordinary woman

    After reading Don Roberts’ column about Ingeborg Lapointe, I’d like to add my comments about this extraordinary woman. My first encounter with Ingeborg was via a message left on my answering machine. I didn’t understand her accent, but I called her back. After that first conversation, we realized we were kindred spirits, particularly after she […]

    Why spend money when China already owns sites?

    This letter is written to urge the residents of China to vote no on Nov. 5 on the purchase of The Cabins, formerly known as Candlewood Lodge. The Lake Access Feasibility Committee has been given the task of finding a beach, but why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars when the town already owns several […]

    Price ceiling on gas will cause more harm than good

    Ed Rowe previously wrote to ask for the price of gas to be set at $2 per gallon (letter, Oct. 5). His assumption, shared by many others, is that lower gas prices will result in saved money for consumers and will help to stimulate growth in the economy and benefit United States citizens.

    Michaud should have stayed in Congress

    Why, when our male representatives in Washington start to get enough seniority to serve on important committees or even chair a committee that could help Maine, do they decide to run for governor? Mike Michaud was doing an excellent job in Washington. Why give it up to campaign for governor when, I believe, he has […]
