Kids need foster families

May was National Foster Parent Appreciation month, and A Family for Me and the Department of Health and Human Services are working together to continue to spread the word about the need for foster families.

Joe Biden’s questionable character

A person’s lot in life is determined by their character, which is the sum of their inner nature that is their disposition, temperament and morals. It is their conscience that ultimately decides what choices they will freely make at critical junctures in their life.

Do the right thing

By not adhering to the guidelines we're putting our loved ones, friends, neighbors and health care works all at risk of this horrible virus. Some say it's a matter of freedom. Well, I have always heard that "Freedom isn't free.”

Thank you to our communities

Whatever you might have done, I want you to know that we could not do it without you.

Americans during a crisis

Every year Americans are confronted with natural disasters, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods. Homes are leveled, businesses are destroyed. Lives altered tragically, some lives lost. We’re being hit right now by a natural disaster, a bad one that comes once a century, a deadly contagion that knows no borders.

Could ‘gift’ funds be better used?

Can $40,000 be better utilized: blight, unsafe sidewalks, rainy day fund for emergencies, such as River Road, or more chip-seal on country roads?

Phony patriotism

Enough is enough. I apologize but I can no longer idly stand by as our country is torn apart by delusion and alternative reality.

An anonym in Presque Isle

To that end, the following is my opinion of a colorful Facebook group, the “Concerned Citizens of Presque Isle.”

As an Aroostook County business owner, I ask: How long do you think the people of the state of Maine and the United States will tolerate their rights being trampled?

Appreciates Sen. Collins’ efforts

Fortunately, Sen. Susan Collins understands our struggles intimately and has been working hard to protect our livelihoods.

Working together to lessen risk

The use of these masks would help by preventing asymptomatic carriers of the virus from spreading infected droplets as easily and would protect everyone.

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.

Christians aren’t the enemy

We all just need to determine who that real enemy is. The sources in this letter are a good start for your awakening to truth.

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.
