By now, we are almost seven years into what historians will probably end up calling the Great Recession, the historic contraction of the global economy that rivals anything else on record.
Thank You
To the Editor:
The Ecumenical Food Pantry wishes to thank the many volunteers, local farms and businesses, and donors of food and money who made it possible to pack and distribute Thanksgiving Food Baskets to 225 families in 10 towns in Lincoln County.
Body Cameras Prevent Mistreatment
The massive public reaction to the tragic deaths of three black teens at the hand of white police officers has led to a national call for use of body cameras to record and prevent any future mistreatment of suspects.
Merry Christmas
As we gather to celebrate the Christmas holiday this week, each according to our own customs, we take a minute to savor the Christmas spirit.
Altogether proper denunciation
I feel a need to respond to letter writer Craig Elliott’s rant in the Dec.18 edition where he ironically accuses Susan van Alsenoy of racism for her altogether proper denunciation of the virulent racism that is rampant in many urban police departments. (“Disgusting and racist” Page 4)
Please Remember
As we celebrate Christmas, and later New Year’s Eve, I would hope all would take a moment to also celebrate and remember our young men and women serving all over the world.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
As we approach New Year’s Day, we find ourselves thinking about resolutions.
The most common resolutions seem to focus on our bodies. Lose weight. Quit smoking. Exercise more. Admirable goals all.
REMEMBER PEARL
Before we descend headlong into the Christmas season, we would be remiss if we did not take a moment to mark the 73rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, coming up this Sunday, Dec. 7.
Sincere and Heartfelt Thanks
Once again it is my great privilege to thank and recognize the members of the Miles League and the St. Andrews Auxiliary for their dedication and hard work in support of our organizations.
Thanksgiving
This has been one of the best Thanksgivings of my life and it was not because the turkey came out moist or the family got along.
New Year’s Resolution
It’s time for New Year’s resolutions, particularly those about our health. Although gun violence remains the leading cause of death among young people, our most dangerous weapon is still our fork. Forty-five times as many die of chronic diseases linked to a diet containing animal products, sugar, and salt.
Pearl Harbor, Recognized or Forgotten?
There is a large generation who know Pearl Harbor Day only as a holiday, a day off from school, sales with discounts, and banks are closed.
Seek Real World Solutions
I have read a lot of post election analysis over the last two weeks. Many pundits who clearly haven’t liked Governor LePage over the last four years have written pieces that express befuddlement as to how he got re-elected. There is one fact which has gotten very little attention and that is that our current governor got the highest vote total for that office in Maine history (291,937).
SIFTING THROUGH THE RUBBLE
As we sift through the rubble of last week’s election, two things are apparent to us.
