A moment for fresh nostalgia
To the editor:
I now live in Los Angeles but visit the Valley every year, as I did this year. The multipurpose building in Madawaska vibrated with high octane during the recent Acadian Festival, as local favorite Jerry T took the stage and delivered a performance that left the packed crowd on their feet and dancing the night away.

Free speech, not hate speech
To the editor:
Since Oct. 7 where over 1,400 jews were massacred at a music festival by Palestinian Hamas terrorists, some in horrific fashion such as babies being burned alive in front of their mothers or had their heads cut off, I’ve been amazed at the number of protests across our county in support of the Hamas terrorists.

A humorous take on the man cave
To the editor:
Man cave: a place where men go to hide. There are various reasons we men choose to have these little places. The “No women allowed” sign on the entrance gives a clue to one of our reasons for claiming our little piece of heaven.

This is a response to a recent letter to the editor written by Kathryn Olmstead [about Wolfden Mining’s proposed project near Patten]. The recent hearings were a request to rezone a piece of property that Wolfden owns.

Referendum 4 is as important as 3
To the editor:
This November we will cast our votes on no less than eight — count them, eight — referendum questions. No. 3 is the question regarding Maine’s electrical system and it has drawn the most lightning by far, all negative.

Support Caribou athletes
To the editor:
I am incredibly proud to have been able to shape the development of young people in our community over the last 40 years. As a track and cross-country coach, I have seen thousands of student-athletes develop the skills necessary to meet the challenges of everyday life.

Serving those who need us
To the editor:
Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, some 80-plus years ago, I recall my entire Blossom Street neighborhood was not only populated by French Canadian iImmigrants, but inherently Roman Catholic legal immigrants.

Irreparable harm from mining
To the editor:
The more I learn about Wolfden Resources’ proposal to rezone 374 acres of its property near Patten to allow metallic mining, the more I realize that Land Use Planning Commission (LUPC) approval of this request could lead to permanent pollution in not only the Katahdin Region, but also elsewhere Maine.
