Letters to the Editor

Wishes classmates well

To the editor: I wish I could have made the Class of 1967 Presque Isle High School reunion. Please give my best regards and wishes to all of my classmates. The year '67 was a blast and I so enjoyed working at WEGP.

An enjoyable experience

To the editor: A few days ago my wife and I accompanied our granddaughter to Hub Coffee. What an appealing time we enjoyed.

Caribou’s broadband options

To the editor: The Caribou City Council is considering three options for future broadband service at their next meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 22.

Remember the first Potato Queen

To the editor: The July 20 Star-Herald was delivered to me today. A front page article about the annual Maine Potato Blossom Festival got my attention.

Presque Isle treasures, Part 3

To the editor: The one bad thing about walking in the morning first thing is it’s so darn early. As a result, when I first head out the door, my body is still partially “paralyzed,” my mind is in a bit of a fog and my eyes are filled with “sleepy seeds,” as my mom called them.

Recognizing an important landscape

To the editor: My mother walks every day, no matter the weather (although she draws the line at icy conditions). For the past few years, she and some friends have regularly walked at the Houlton Visitor Center.

A gem of a museum

To the editor: As former County residents, our return visit was met with an unexpected surprise. We were invited to a guided tour of the Stockholm Museum, a town in which my wife was raised, where she spent much of her youth, harboring many happy memories.

Everything will be OK

To the editor: What is happening? The price of gas is falling. Has anyone tried to catch it? I haven’t heard the “Oh, oh, oh, oh, the price of gas is falling” from the politicians and also the public, like they did when the price was going up.

Childhood Allagash vacations

To the editor: In my last letter I mentioned how every spring when my older brother, Kevin, and I were kids, my dad, who was usually all work-minded, would pack us up in the Volkswagen van and head to Little Fall Brook Lake in the Allagash.

Presque Isle treasures, part 2

To the editor: I had no plans for an addition to my previous letter on walking treasures in the Star City, but this morning while walking a sound came drifting over the lightly fog-laden air that took me back to my childhood.

Thanks to our heroes

To the editor: The morning of the Fourth of July I sat on our deck watching the flags on Main Street that some patriotic heroes had placed.

Stop the tail

To the editor: The tail has been wagging the dog in the U.S. for a long time now, at least the last six years.

Presque Isle treasure

To the editor: For most of my adult life I’ve enjoyed walking, both for exercise and pleasure. Now that I’m retired -- all of two weeks now -- I find myself taking early morning strolls in the great outdoors around 6 a.m.

We cry gas is high

To the editor: Back in 2011 the average price of gas in Maine was $2.65 per gallon. At that same time the minimum wage was $7.25 per hour. Today the average price of gas in Maine is about $5 per gallon and the minimum wage is $12.75 per hour.

Revisiting stimulus checks

To the editor: In response to Mr. Kierstead regarding our governor buying votes with the $850 [stimulus checks], there were stimulus checks sent in April 2020 for $1,200 and December 2020 for $600 when Trump was president.

All is well

To the editor: Do you remember times that you worried yourself almost sick about something and then had it turn out so right that you wanted to stand in your yard and shout to the world, “Hey, all is well, actually great”?

Buying votes

To the editor: Gov. Newsom of California was so unpopular that he was recently facing a recall election. His Democratic liberal policies were causing havoc among the state’s populace. What to do?

Don’t miss out on relief checks

To the editor: The Legislature has completed its work for the 2020-2022 term, and, while there is much to report, there is one item I want to be sure Aroostook County residents know about.
