East-west corridor would be ecological dead zone
I was heartened to see an article about the East-West Corridor in Sunday’s newspaper. Finally, we are given a few words in print on the debate about a project that could define the future of Maine. Should Maine tie itself to a failed economic model that puts the future of human existence at risk or […]

Hernandez doesn’t just wish things were different
On June 12, we will vote for Dana Hernandez to be the Democratic nominee for state Senate District 25. Every time we interact with Dana in Pittsfield, we are impressed. She listens intently as constituents discuss the issues that are important to them. She is passionate about our community and committed to doing the hard […]

Can’t believe field hockey goggles an issue
No goggles in high school field hockey because the player can’t see the ball, you’ve go to be kidding! I have been involved with athletics for more years than I care to count. Years ago high school ice hockey players, including the goalie, did not wear face masks. When face masks became mandatory no one […]

Republican wants chance to vote for Hernandez
I wish I could vote for Dana Hernandez in the primary election on June 12, but I can’t because I am not a Democrat. She is, however, my kind of Democrat. Hernandez has sound ideas based on common sense and good judgment, and she works well with others outside of her own political party. I […]

All loud noisemakers need to be under same limits
So people complain about motorcycles being too loud, but exploding fireworks that make someone jump from half a mile away is just fine. The same noise restrictions imposed on motorcycles need to apply for fireworks, jack hammers, chain saws, barking dogs, lawn mowers, etc. Denis M Rioux Winslow

Name on a stone turns out to be long-dead relative
Several years ago, while waiting for my husband to finish his appointments at Togus Veterans Affairs hospital, I was sitting in the cemetery at Togus. A reporter walked up and asked me a bunch of questions about Memorial Day and the gravemarker I was sitting in front of. At the time, it was just a […]

When soldiers are laid off they’ll join jobless ranks
This is insane. America’s going to pay $4.1 billion (that’s with a “b”) to support the Afghan army. Oh. Sorry, NATO says it’s going to pay its fair share. We’ve been there, done that, didn’t get much before, don’t see it doing much this time. What is wrong with this administration? Here we are giving […]

Just fix railroad crossings, send bill to Pan Am
I have just returned to Skowhegan from Waterville, via US Route 201. Once again, I couldn’t avoid the gaping holes by the railroad tracks just north of Hinckley. It feels like I will be paying for another front-end alignment soon. What is the problem? As I understand it, Pan Am Railroad is responsible for keeping […]

Fire was first incident attributed to fireworks
I was dismayed when the Legislature approved public sale of fireworks in Maine. I considered waiting until the first terrible accident to write this, but perhaps a word in advance will avert careless damage or heartache. By April 19, the first property incident related to fireworks was reported in the KJ, “Fire’s smoke covers Turnpike.” […]

Memorial Day tribute OK, but one photo of Canadians
I wanted to comment on the Memorial Day tribute in an advertisement on pages A4 and A5 in the May 28 Kennebec Journal. I appreciate the tribute, as I’m sure other military veteran readers of your paper do. I do, however, question the photo you chose of the aircraft formation. I assume the tribute was […]
