Please pick up after your dog

To the editor:
To the person(s) who bag their dog poo and throw the bag and contents into the tall grass on the woods line: Wrong.  The correct method is to pick up droppings, tie the bag off and carry it with you to a proper receptacle to dispose of it.

Cast your vote for Jackson

To the editor:
There is no question that Troy Jackson is the best person to represent us in the Maine Senate. No matter how busy the man is, he always makes time for those who need him. Last week, Troy stopped by my house to hear my concerns as a small Maine farmer.

A house of hospitality

Beautiful words don’t do justice to Sarah’s House of Maine in Holden.  When I decided to begin the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Kent and I launched a search for either a hotel that would not only offer us the guarantee of lodging for three months, but would also be affordable.

Going it alone is no benefit

To the editor:
 Few things matter more to Caribou than connecting all our friends and families to high-speed broadband internet. Almost 300 homes don’t have access to this essential service, leaving them at a terrible risk of falling behind — economically, educationally, you name it.

I have for years read the Presque Isle Star-Herald and every week or so I am so grateful that I have been blessed with such great opinions on subjects I already knew on some of the viewpoints.

The car coming in our driveway had a license plate with Fizzit on it. Indeed, it was House of Representative for District 2 candidate Ben Paradis, a native of Frenchville, son of Lucien and Marie, one of 12 siblings.
