Letters to the Editor

Pray for guidance in election season

To the editor: C.S. Lewis once said that God whispers to us in our joys and pleasures, speaks to us in our consciences and shouts at us in our sufferings. We as a nation are suffering now and I believe God is shouting at us to trust in Him on this national election.

Trump is doing all right

To the editor: A recent poll reflects that only 37 percent of the public approves of President Trump’s handling of COVID-19. My question to the other 63 percent is:

Library is a local gem

To the editor: After reading in last week's Pioneer Times that Ludlow had failed to pass funding to the Cary Library during its annual budget meeting, I immediately thought of one of my favorite books of last year, Susan Orlean's “The Library Book.”

Cancer doesn’t stop, so neither can we

To the editor: Cancer doesn’t stop for a pandemic. Every day, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) continues its lifesaving work to fight cancer through public policy.

Is ‘anti-racism’ the answer?

To the editor: Bullying is indefensible, right? Yet this year in the nation’s schools, students may be taught that they are racists, according to my understanding.

The virtues of a special plant product

To the editor: This letter of information may be categorized as “too good to be true” or “absolutely unbelievable.” So why am I writing this? Because it is true and I’m a witness.

Masks present a medical dilemma

To the editor: I write today in complete dismay regarding a recent medical visit to the Northern Light A.R. Gould Hospital Imaging Center.

Thankful for kind gesture

To the editor: I would like to thank the Maine State Police officer who paid for my coffee and doughnut at the Houlton Dunkin Donuts early one morning a couple of weeks ago.

Supporting Bernard’s candidacy

To the Editor, I am writing today to express my strong support for Sue Bernard’s candidacy for Maine House District 149. As a lifelong Republican who served eight years in the Maine Legislature and who grew up in Fort Fairfield, I believe Sue has what it takes to represent Caribou, New Sweden and Westmanland with honor, class, and dignity.

Vote for a smart investment in Maine

To the editor: I see Question 1 as an opportunity to make a smart investment in the people and economy of Maine. As a front-line technical support adviser, I assist people to work, teach, study and stay connected with loved ones from home.

Peaceful protests promote cultural shift

To the editor: In the June 10 edition, Larry Shea asked the question, “What have the protests [regarding George Floyd’s murder] produced?” I would like to offer a response.

Supports open playgrounds

To the Editor: I became a mother overnight three years ago when my three nieces ages 9, 7 and 4 and my two nephews ages 5 and 8 entered state custody. Three years later, I am now married and my husband and I are expecting our first child.

Right cause, wrong practice

To the editor: It would be virtually impossible to find one person in America who does not condemn the murder of George Floyd by an out-of-control Minneapolis police officer.

Help make high-speed internet a reality

To the editor: Maine has the opportunity in the upcoming primary to bridge the “digital divide” and start to enable all communities large and small to have access to high-speed internet.

Question for mainstream media

To the Editor: My question to the mainstream media. Why do you instill fear and why do you instill hate?

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.”
