In appreciation of our park
To the editor:
Yesterday we enjoyed being in Houlton’s Riverside Park on a delightful autumn day. Sitting in our lawn chairs beside the gently flowing Meduxnekeag River (on traditional Maliseet territory) was peaceful and uplifting for us, who are in our late 80s.

Don’t sink the ship
To the editor:
Everyone’s heard that too many rats scrambling aboard a sinking ship will sink it. We as a nation are doing all we can to stay afloat with the people we’ve got now and the approximately one million legal immigrants we allow in every year.

Talking out of both sides
To the editor:
In May 2020, I wrote a letter to the editor asking “how low will a group of people go?” Today, I think we can ask that question again. It has certainly been answered over the past 16 months, after more than 60 cases in the United States of America Courts being thrown out or dismissed because of zero merit or proof of the complaint, including the Supreme Court, according to PolitiFact.com.

Please consider being vaccinated
To the editor:
I write this letter as a plea for help. As a member of this community and physician for 21 years, I am devastated at the destruction COVID-19 has caused. I have and continue to witness firsthand the disability and death it is causing in this community that I love and call home.

A tragedy and a plea
To the Editor:
As a resident of 145th District, I was troubled to learn that our own elected State Rep. Chris Johansen and his wife Cindy (corresponding secretary of the Aroostook County Republicans) had both contracted COVID-19 (BDN, July 23; Maine Public, July 24, et al).

What Olympics are all about
To the editor:
To be totally candid, I avoided watching this summer’s Olympics like the plague — not because I had a sudden aversion to world-class sports and seat-of-your-pants competition, but because I had no desire to see the tantrums of spoiled, entitled athletes spitting on and protesting the very country that gave them all the opportunities in the world.
