Letters to the Editor

A message to our communities from your four County hospitals

With COVID-19 now in Maine, your four County hospitals want you to know that we are working collaboratively to keep our communities healthy and safe.

Peaceful protest continues

To the editor: Seventeen years ago, on March 19, 2003, the United States invaded Iraq. Immediately thereafter [as well as before], anti war protests began throughout Maine. The protest in Presque Isle has been continuous, in all weathers, through all these years.

Skater passes U.S. Figure Skating Association tests

Rylee Cassidy recently traveled to Augusta to test for the U.S. Figure Skating Association in both pre-preliminary free skate and pre-preliminary moves in the field.

Keeping animals’ needs front and center

Today The Ark owns the 40 acres free and clear, and it owns the building as well. We are very proud of this accomplishment.

In support of banning e-cigarettes

It is crystal clear that the kid-friendly packaging and the fun, fruity and candy flavors get kids hooked and has helped to feed the e-cigarette epidemic.

Seek accurate vaccine information

I have my own set of worries and fears when it comes to caring for Maine’s children.

Vaccine law removes civil rights

I will be voting "yes" on Question 1 in order to preserve our basic civil liberties.

Maine needs retirement savings program

It would be fiscally irresponsible not to pass LD 594 and I strongly urge our legislators to pass this critical bill.

Standing up for vaccination freedom

We should be free to make our own choice regarding our health -- whether to receive or decline vaccines -- both options should be available and respected.

Vaccination law a reasonable solution

I’d like to share why my fellow health professionals are voting no on Question 1.

Vaccines halt communicable diseases

I am writing due to my concern of public opinion of vaccinations.

Caribou City Council objectives

Although I can only speak for myself, I think my fellow councilors would agree: the unsustainable financial trend the Caribou Fire and Ambulance Department is currently on needs to be fixed.

Spay/neuter clinics make a difference

If Halfway Home can continue sterilizing these cats as well as community cats, we can lighten our load of kittens coming in this spring.

EMS issue difficult all the way around

To say that the people of these towns who are facing the huge increases that Caribou has had to impose on the EMS services are overwhelmed and shocked has to be an understatement.

Aroostook County Fund an important resource

Applications for 2020 community-building grants are due Feb. 15.

Airline choice is surprising

To the editor: Silver Airways thanks Presque Isle, Aroostook County and nearby northern Maine for supporting Silver’s bid to provide nonstop air service between Boston and Presque Isle.

City deserves better passenger treatment

While the city makes a bad call, [United] at the Presque Isle Airport makes one worse. Traveling to Presque Isle due to the death of my grandmother was the nightmare of all nightmares. I thought the worst part of my trip was over after the funeral. I was completely wrong.

Maine needs to create better health care

To the editor: I am a “consumer” of health care with a Medicare Advantage plan. I would much rather be a “patient” like I was in the late 1950s when I birthed my three babies in a four-day stay for each at a local hospital.
