Water is a precious resource

To the editor:

On behalf of water utilities throughout Maine, I remind the public during Fire Prevention Week (October 9-15) about the critical role of local water supplies in fighting fires and safeguarding public safety.

Sufficient, reliable water supplies provide the adequate pressure and ample amounts of water needed to suppress fires and to prevent a tiny spark from turning into a raging inferno.

An exciting discovery

To the editor:

I was given some very important, perhaps life-saving information recently about diabetes that I never heard in my eight years of diabetes. I’d heard much about exercises burning up some of the excess glucose in all the body’s organs and blood, but no one ever mentioned to me something that works much better, perhaps even better than some medications. No one even explained why everyone should drink eight glasses of fluid a day, except that it’s healthy.
