I urge a “No” vote on Question 2 Nov. 8. We do not need more gambling in Maine. The question was not settled when we established a lottery.

To the Editor:

I certainly applaud the good intentions and information of the dentists speaking out in favor of fluoride. Clearly there is some support for their position, if mainly for children rather than adults.

To the Editor:

I look forward to discussing with my friend, David Kolodin, the disastrous ways that our country reacted to the criminal hijacking and crashing of four planes on Sept. 11, 2001.

Sam has a great responsibility, but he’s been quite remiss. This is not his fault, however, it’s strictly mine.

I simply haven’t taken him out for the required visits to the hospital and/or health centers, primarily because it’s somewhat difficult to arrange a ride for both of us…

To the Editor:

There’s something dignified and noble during Memorial Day, in our recollection of those who died in public service, that’s entirely missing in the next holiday remembrance for those who died; those who lived in service to God.

To the Editor:

As Wiscasset residents consider a potential withdrawal from RSU 12 we must consider the financial facts. The state sets a minimum every town has to pay towards education.

To the Editor:

I am saddened by the Obama administration’s position on the economy.

I have always been proud to be a Great Salt Bay parent, and have been singing the school’s praises for the eight years my children have been students there. Now the research backs up my parental enthusiasm.

To the Editor:

In November, Damariscotta and Newcastle residents, who share a municipal water system, will vote on whether to retain fluoride in that system.

We live in an interesting time when the need for public relief is as great as it has ever been, greater by volume than even the famed Great Depression; at the same time the shared resources for helping the public are stretched thinner than ever.

A letter by Mr. Galen Rose speaks of what makes sense and does not. (“Faith, not ‘sense’,” LCN, 9/15/11, Page 4).

In November, residents in Newcastle and Damariscotta will have an important decision to make – to vote on whether or not to continue adding fluoride to the municipal water supply. This is a significant issue that deserves the thoughtful attention of every member of the community and participation of all eligible voters.

I am writing to applaud Lincoln County Sheriff Todd Brackett for going out of his way to assist me.

A spirit of joy in service permeated this community last Saturday.
