Letters to the Editor

Playing devil’s advocate

To the editor: It amazes me that now, within three weeks of the elections, we hear Democrats suddenly trumpeting Republican stances on practically every issue Americans have pointed to as priorities: inflation and the economy, the wide-open southern border, spiking fuel prices, crime.

Going it alone is no benefit

To the editor: Few things matter more to Caribou than connecting all our friends and families to high-speed broadband internet. Almost 300 homes don’t have access to this essential service, leaving them at a terrible risk of falling behind — economically, educationally, you name it.

Grateful and thankful

I have for years read the Presque Isle Star-Herald and every week or so I am so grateful that I have been blessed with such great opinions on subjects I already knew on some of the viewpoints.

Paradis will work for important issues

To the editor: The car coming in our driveway had a license plate with Fizzit on it. Indeed, it was House of Representative for District 2 candidate Ben Paradis, a native of Frenchville, son of Lucien and Marie, one of 12 siblings.

November election is critical

To the editor: The upcoming November election is a very critical election. I believe that our country is now in the most precarious domestic situation since the American Civil War of 1860 to 1865.

Both sides of the issue

To the editor: I recently wrote regarding Catholic Charities being involved with facilitating getting illegal aliens, criminals by definition, across the border. I further write I learned this from watching Fox News.

Child care in The County

To the editor: There were a few errors in the article entitled “Providers say child care needs change to survive” in the Sept. 21, 2022, edition of the Aroostook Republican that I would like to address. I have had a family child care in my home for the past 29 years (not 24). My capacity is 12 children (not 10)

Regional veterinary clinic

To the editor: An article appeared in the Sept. 7 issue of the Aroostook Republican announcing that the volunteers of Halfway Home Pet Rescue in Caribou are planning to open a regional veterinary clinic. This clinic is desperately needed in northern Maine.

Shifting money to local needs

To the editor: President Eisenhower famously said in 1954, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

Leaders need to help solve child care crisis

To the editor: On Thursday, Sept. 15, a town hall meeting was held at the Caribou Recreation Center. For nearly 90 minutes, community members heard from local daycare providers the chilling details of a system on the verge of collapse.

The County needs people

To the editor: Please inform governors DeSantis and Abbott to send their future state paid caravans of migrants here to Aroostook County.

This group is doing good work

To the editor: Thanks to Catholic Charities as we know them in our local communities.

Look to things above

To the editor: I love walking the streets of our fair city early in the morning, encountering the same faithful, hardy souls who are doing their best to keep their physical bodies healthy.

2 million illegal aliens

To the editor: Since Jan. 1 of this year, over two million unvetted illegal aliens have crossed our southern border and have been allowed into our country, according to Fox News this week. Another million have snuck into our country illegally, purposely avoiding Border Patrol officials.

My Sophie’s gone

To the editor: I recently buried my cat Sophie. She was my best friend of the animal persuasion and I loved her dearly. My life will never the be same — there’ll always be those missing ways she had that endeared her to me.

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.
