Concerned Richmond folks want to resume food pantry
A coalition of concerned citizens in Richmond is asking for help to resume a food pantry in our community. The town lost its food pantry last year, but, unfortunately, the need still exists, with as many as 70 families in need in our community. These families include children and elderly citizens. We need a commitment […]

Frequent visitors to Maine join mural protest
We are frequent visitors to Maine, a state we love for its breathtaking natural beauty and its proud place in America’s history, including the courage of Maine men and women during the American Revolution and Civil War. We also stand with the majority of Mainers who are outraged by the governor’s decision to remove the […]

‘Murder in America is like a cancer’
Murder in America is like a cancer. It seems like we are both losing and saving lives. People are murdered by abortions, overdoses of drugs and alcohol and at the hands of criminals. People are saved by Jesus Christ, technology and recycling. How can we win over the murderers, you know “thou shalt not kill” […]

Government must get back to serving citizens
The “American Heritage Dictionary” defines fascism as: “A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with a belligerent nationalism.” We do not have a dictatorship yet. We do have a growing number of right-wing extremists and, more and more, our governments […]

Send a little extra money to Uncle Sam to stop cuts
There is a simple answer for the United States and Maine when it comes to money problems. Many are complaining that Gov. Paul LePage and Republicans in Washington are cutting spending to many of the nation’s and state’s little social programs. After years of overspending from here to Washington, D.C., the piggy bank is empty […]

In 3 months, LePage has insulted everyone
Gov. Paul LePage has done it again. Calling the people who suggested making a human chain in front of the mural “idiots” shows he has no respect for anyone. He says “get over yourselves.” I think he needs someone to bring him down a few pegs himself. Since he took office (not by majority vote, […]

Maine’s winter snow pure because ‘unfouled’ by waste
With springtime upon us, I actually will miss the foot-deep snowfalls that are the hallmark of a good Maine winter. The deep snows in the Pine Tree State are angel white, the winter skies are celestial blue and the pine-tree forests are a verdant evergreen. I am struck with reverent awe every time I peer […]

Obama gets us into another war, a la Bush
It must be apparent to even the most partisan Democrat that Barack Obama’s election in 2008 has, in foreign policy and federal spending, turned out to be just the third term of George W. Bush. Obama has tripled down on a 10-year no-win war in Afghanistan, dithered on getting out of Iraq, and has now […]

Small business owners ‘do not support Paul LePage’
I vowed not to write about Paul LePage, as I believe the old saying about getting into a match with a skunk (think about it). It has gotten to the point, however, where we can’t resist weighing in. And apparently we don’t need to worry about this bully’s retribution, as he doesn’t read newspapers. We […]

Terrorist cleaned up before speaking at UMF
I was surprised to learn Bill Ayers was asked to speak at University of Maine. That was very exciting news. It’s not every day a scholar/educator/activist/proponent of social justice such as this one comes to Maine to share his wisdom. Wait a minute, there is an accolade I forgot to mention. He is also an […]
