    • Father Lebel cleared of all charges

    • Welcome to the jungle

      To the Editor:

      Having nearly obliterated the Maine private sector, the crushing weight of government excess has now shifted to bear on those accustomed to public support. It’s not a pretty sight and the squeals of the affected will be heard throughout the state. It’s a simple but painful choice. Either our government crumbles under its own weight or we cut away some of the burden.

    • Thank you

      To the Editor:

      I would like to thank Daddy Os, Joseph Baldacci, John Baldacci and Anderson Staples Auxiliary #112 of Oxford for donating to our D.A.R.E. Program at Oxford Elementary School.

      If it wasn't for all who donate to our wonderful program it would not be what it is. We thank you very much and appreciate your donation to a worthy cause.

      God bless.

    • Good friends and neighbors

      To the Editor:

      I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all the people who gave aid, assistance and moral support when I had an accident on Route 26 on January 31. I was not seriously hurt - just some bruises. My dogs were all OK. The car was totalled but was replaceable.

    • March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

      Feb 24, 2011 12:01 am

      To the Editor:

      Through the columns of your Letters to the Editor section we would like to invite your readers in the month of March to Turn Maine Blue as a way of increasing awareness about colon cancer and the need to be screened for the disease.

      Latest available figures show that in 2009, almost 900 Mainers were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and approximately 260 died from this disease, making it the second leading cause of overall cancer death in Maine. Many of these deaths may have been prevented if the disease had only been detected earlier.

    • It's the unions...

      Feb 24, 2011 12:01 am

      To the Editor:

      After watching the protests going on in Wisconsin, I have come to the conclusion that it’s the unions that are bankrupting this country.

      The unions support and condone bad teachers; they have tenure.

      The union workers' healthcare benefits and retirement pay is at least double that of workers in the civilian population.

      Here in Maine State Employee union members (teachers) pay into their retirement, and the health care plan. Wisconsin should be no different.

    • Are Booster teams for the kids or the parents?

      Feb 17, 2011 12:01 am

      To the Editor:

      I know that my kid is not the best basketball player on our team, but he’s not the worst either. His teammates and him play their hearts out every week and do their best. I want him to win every that he can and be as good as the next kid.
