It’s universal health care or bust
To the editor:
Right now Congressional Republicans are dismantling Obamacare, either piecemeal or in total, because it is not affordable.

A message for the New Year
To the editor:
Each year, the dawn of a new year inspires us to reflect on the blessings and graces of the past twelve months and to look ahead with the good intentions of being a better person.
In that spirit, a worthy focus of our efforts in 2017 would be to remember the lessons learned during the recently concluded Jubilee Year of Mercy.

The cereal tree and the gift of giving
To the editor:
As a proud employee of ACAP, and an active participant of the Cereal Tree Project, it warmed my heart to see the over 1,100 tickets put into our basket by the community, cementing the amazing donation from Scott Carlin and Star City IGA of 250 Cereal Boxes to help some of our Aroostook families. Every child enrolled in an ACAP early care and education program brought home a box of cereal before the holiday break.

Where have all the farms gone?
To the editor:
When I was a boy in the 1950s in St. Agatha, there were 70 or more small farms up Flat Mountain (Montaigne Platte) and even more in the surrounding community. Today there are none. They are all gone! The kids from Flat Mountain alone used to fill up most of our schools. What happened?
Most likely we can blame technology for that one. Prior to 1900 and up to after World War I, most farms were small, 100 +/- acres. Most of the work was labor intensive, self-sustaining, horses and oxen being used for the harder work of planting and clearing land.
