Lincoln County has one of the highest rates of underage drinking in Maine. Consequently, many parents are looking for ways to reduce underage access to alcohol. One of the easiest ways to do this is to keep track of the alcohol in your own home. If it’s been depleted or is kept in a conspicuous place, it may be leading to consumption by your teen.

It’s Not Surprising
To the Editor:
I think it was in 1993 when a law was passed that limited our choices of what health care insurance Maine people could buy. Since then the cost of health insurance premiums has steadily gone up. Our state government has regulated health insurance companies to such a degree; most won’t do business with us. Part of what drives costs is competition, or the lack of it.
