Letters to the Editor

Getting vaccine a positive experience

To the editor: Last week I had a COVID-19 vaccine at NMCC. What a great experience.

Signs point to legacy

To the editor: I’m writing to send gratitude and sincere appreciation to the person that has two large trailers at the corner of Rt. 1 and Main Street in Van Buren, the two trailers with large type screaming “TRUMP 2020.”

Shame

To the Editor: Trump will have a legacy of shame for a violent transfer of executive power. He has trashed our tradition of a peaceful transition by inciting a riot that resulted in the ransacking of our Capitol while Congress was in session to count the electoral votes.

Being Thankful

To the Editor: The Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office has much to be thankful for this year. While it would be easy to talk about negativity given all that has gone on – we want to turn ourselves to what we are thankful for.

Our community cares

To the editor: We at Grace Interfaith Food Table (GIFT) wish to thank the United Way of Aroostook, Josh Tweedie and his team at Star City IGA, Kevin Kinney and his team at Save-A-Lot, and area churches for making sure that our clients had a happier Thanksgiving and Christmas season by supplying turkeys and other holiday foods.

Another ‘Silent Night’

Here is an inspirational movie and true story for Christmas that shows that hearts can truly be changed. “Silent Night” (2002) is heartwarming, though it doesn’t hide the pain of war. The story takes place in 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes forest of Europe.

Suitable trees for the area

To the editor: This summer, 15 volunteers attended a short training before conducting street tree surveys in different neighborhoods in Houlton. One volunteer noted, “I can no longer walk or drive in town without assessing the street trees.”

More bipartisanship, please

To the editor: I have lived in Maine for 32 years, Castle Hill and then Presque Isle. I was once head selectman in Castle Hill. This is my home and my children’s birthplace, and you are my neighbors. I am a conservative Democrat, but this in no way affects my love of my town, my county, my state or my neighbors.

Election’s lingering effects

To the editor: Evidence of widespread election fraud, according to the mainstream media, hasn’t been found. Really? On election night and the three days following I witnessed, just watching [on television] what happened at Philadelphia’s and Detroit’s election headquarters, enough fraud to totally reverse the results of their tallies.

In appreciation of community support

To the editor: 2020 was Houlton’s first-ever 40 Days for Life Fall campaign, part of the 588 cities in 63 countries worldwide.

Not in Maine. Please, not in Maine.

We Mainers are, if anything, great cheerleaders for the underdog. We root for the one who comes from behind, who defies all odds to achieve, to survive, to triumph.

Let’s get back to business

To the editor: I greatly appreciated the letters last week from Chris Martin and Judy Dinsmore. How wonderful to view the "other side" for a "fair and balanced" story.

Collins deserves our support

To the editor: As a small business owner and fellow County girl, I am incredibly proud to be represented by Senator Susan Collins in Washington.

Harnish will work for us

To the editor: I am so pleased to vote for Kathryn Harnish to represent District 144 in Augusta.

Let’s get back to the business at hand

To the editor: I’ve been reading all the bashing in the letters to the editor about Doug Morrell, from those who want him recalled. I read these letters and shake my head as to the importance some of you put on Mr. Morrell saying slang words or comments like “heads will roll.”

Fallout could cost money

To the editor: After reading Councilor Theriault's letter in last week’s paper, I had to ask myself a couple of questions.

Supports Harnish for House District 144

To the Editor, I am so pleased to vote for Kathryn Harnish to represent House District 144 in Augusta

Maine deserves a leader, not a bystander

Coronavirus has undoubtedly posed a new and unprecedented set of circumstances for Mainers. Fortunately the Paycheck Protection Program -- authored by our very own Sen. Susan Collins -- helped small businesses and countless Maine workers get through the worst of the economic shutdown last spring.
