To the editor: I wrote a letter to you the last week in March, after attending a Speak Up For Life meeting in Presque Isle on March 25, hoping to make people aware of the pending legislation regarding abortion expansion in the state of Maine, and also hoping people would speak up for life. I […]
To the editor: Since last weekend’s drama concerning the trees in front of the courthouse being cut down, I have been thinking about trees a lot, particularly the trees in Houlton.
To the editor: Just going through the writings of some of last century’s brain people — you know, like Einstein and Hawking. I just read that Hawking declared himself to be an atheist in that he could scientifically prove that something can be created from nothing; ergo: universe from nonexistent matter. (Not my words, his.) […]
To the editor: The ongoing debate relative to abortion is not only sad but ridiculous. Pro-abortionists continue to bellow, “You cannot tell me what to do with my body.” Pro-lifers naturally respond, “Baby killers.” First of all, the government can and does tell you what we can and cannot do with our bodies. You may […]
To the editor: Currently Maine law allows induced abortions through “viability” — generally considered to be about 24 weeks of gestation. The law also currently allows for abortion after the point of viability when the life of the mother is endangered (which is normally in extremely rare instances).

To the editor: I have spent most of my life working in health care. One of the most rewarding aspects of this work is the opportunity to help educate the public about ways that they can live a long and heathy life. Abundant research now can help all of us make the healthy choices that […]
To the editor: I remember going to college for nursing and eagerly anticipating my three-month obstetrics rotation. It was so exciting to me that I would witness the very first moments of a child’s life, and to learn in advance all the wonderful ways that baby would grow. This included pre-and postpartum care, as well […]
To the editor: There have been some previous editorials referring to pending legislation to allow late-term abortions. The bill has now been released as LD1619. This is a horrific bill that would allow the life of a baby to be taken right up to the delivery. How is that not murder of an innocent […]
To the editor: For several years I’ve written letters in this paper informing people of the abuse that goes on behind the scenes to train wild animals for circuses. Now with the circus due to come to Presque isle in a couple of weeks and seeing wild bears riding scooters are one of the acts […]
To the editor: It was 1951 in Nashua, New Hampshire, at St. Louis De Gonzague Catholic Church on West Hollis Street. A dozen or more granite steps led to the cross-shaped house of worship, site of baptisms, first communions, confirmations, marriages and eventual funerals of so many thousands of people like us: hardworking, legal French […]
