Letters

Budget bill would boost area

To the editor: On behalf of the St. John Valley Chamber of Commerce & Tourism, I write to commit our support of the pending budget bill which is currently being assembled in Congress for a vote in late September.

A very successful 43rd Acadian Festival

To the editor: Beginning with "Party du Main Street" there was a spirit of community, a breath of fresh air, much needed during our trying times with COVID 19. It felt like a big family having fun with the variety of events for every age group-- kids, teens, adults and seniors.The different venues of music were spectacular.

Biden’s blunders

To the editor: I always expected Joe Biden would be a poor president, but I never thought he was capable of reaching the level of incompetence that he has displayed. He seems incapable of doing anything right.

Talking marijuana difficult, but necessary

To the editor: As our local municipal governments consider opting in or opting out of allowing marijuana businesses into our communities, here are some public health concerns discovered by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a division of the National Institutes of Health.

Collins advocates for The County

To the editor: Here in Aroostook County, we are fortunate to have one of our very own representing us in the U.S. Senate. Nobody is a stronger advocate for our rural communities than Senator Susan Collins.

Infrastructure funding would aid County

To the editor: I lead the Aroostook Partnership, which is essentially a private/public partnership focused on all things economic development in northern Maine.

Severe blood shortage

To the editor: As uncertain as the past year has been, one constant has been the need for lifesaving blood. Many people rely on the generosity of volunteer donors to help receive the blood and platelet transfusions they rely on. However, our supply is at a critical level right now.

Congress must support technical education

To the editor: I am excited to see Congress seeking to invest in Maine’s future through a bold investment package supporting the upgrade and growth of our state’s infrastructure.

The importance of lives

To the editor: The ongoing printed contest/debate between the liberal sect and the conservative sect in our nation continues with many savants on both sides, the latest contest being that of language.

Another point of view

To the editor: Regarding Paul Cyr’s comment in the Times on June 16: “Anyone who says, ‘All human lives matter’ and cannot bring themselves to say ‘Black lives matter’ is simply emulating Mike Pence, whom many believe to be a long-standing Republican white supremacist.

A thought on race and life

To the editor: Anyone who says “All human life matters” and cannot bring themselves to say “Black lives matter” is simply emulating Mike Pence, whom many believe to be a long-standing racist Republican white supremacist.

Welcome border news

To the editor: Like U.S. Senator Susan Collins, I too welcome the news that New Brunswick has begun to make plans to reopen the border between Maine and New Brunswick.

In praise of former administration

To the editor: Paul Cyr of Madawaska claims the gas price increase started under the Trump administration. Wrong. I paid $2.16 a gallon under Trump and am now paying $3.07 under “confused” Joe Biden.

A well-prepared workforce benefits us all

To the editor: As president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce and a proud native of Aroostook County, two recent articles about efforts to keep young people in The County caught my attention: one on the Aroostook Aspirations Initiative’s Gauvin Scholars scholarship and mentorship program, and the other on colleges and universities partnering with employers.

All human life matters

To the editor: Why is it that every single time the left attempts retort against the right's opinion, they feel obliged to play the race card? I refer to Mr. Chasse's response to my comments of 4/21.

Another look at current policies

To the editor: In Mr. Chasse’s latest letter to the Times, he states: “The word I believe is ‘projection,’ the psychological term to describe those who project onto others what they themselves practice and believe.” His letter then aired his own projections.

Of mountains and rabbit holes

To the editor: The word, I believe, is “projection,” the psychological term to describe those who project onto others what they themselves practice and believe.

To the editor: Re: Your recent article on the three schools in Aroostook County that made U.S. News and World Reports’ top 10 schools in Maine: Congrats to Madawaska Middle High School for making the list.
