Appreciates kind service

Healthy discussion over persuasion

To the editor: I read Al Craft’s letter in the times on June 28. I must admit there was very little of what he said that I found easy to decipher. He mentioned me in his comments and after reading what he had to say I didn’t know if I should say “Thank you” or […]

A story with a smile

​​To the editor:
Of all the challenges I have faced in life none have given me more problems than trying to understand the female mind. My most recent puzzlement was my other half’s logic on not letting me have the face plate for the radio in my car. The face plate on some radios is a front plate of the radio that can be removed to make the radio useless, thus not worth stealing.

All life is sacred

To the editor: I plead with the representatives of the citizens of Maine to vote against LD 1619, which would legalize abortion up to birth. It is barbaric to politicize the killing of infants as though it were legalizing a “health” procedure. It is more akin to the sacrificing of living babies in ancient times […]

Not good for Maine’s people

To the editor: I want to make my voice known on the topic of the late-term abortion bill that is being discussed in the Legislature these days. I find the bill extreme and even dangerous to our state.
