Letters to the Editor

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.

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.
