Councilors’ decisions not always popular, but have city’s best interest at heart
To the editor:
So I hear daily that the people’s will is not heard by politicians. When you talk about Washington, D.C., they need to decide for 323 million people. In Maine that is 1.3 million and here in Presque Isle 9,106.

MSAD 1 made wrong decision to end harvest break
To the editor:
Since the age of 12 I have worked in a potato house for four weeks out of my school year. I am the oldest grandchild of 33 who make up the sixth generation of our family farm. In 1886, my great-great-great grandfather started with less than 65 acres of potatoes in our small northern Maine town of Mars Hill.
