Letters

Innocent until proven guilty

To the editor: I read Larry Shea’s letter (Right cause, wrong practice) in the St. John Valley Times, June 17. It was an excellent letter.

Guidance from ancient history

To the editor: Looking at today's events in the news, not only in the U.S. but also around the world, regarding inequality, I'm reminded that nearly two thousand years ago a Roman Historian, Titus Livius, wrote:

Clean energy project a good opportunity

Maine is soon to be embroiled in a controversy over the so-called North East Clean Energy Connect, or "Maine Corridor."

Kids need foster families

May was National Foster Parent Appreciation month, and A Family for Me and the Department of Health and Human Services are working together to continue to spread the word about the need for foster families.

Absolute irony

Truly worthy of your publication's following is the published essence of an ongoing debate between our own left-wing political extremes: Ross Paradis, Fort Kent, and the more conservative rationality of those of the “right.”

Testing is important

[President] Trump said this about testing for COVID: The swabs, he said, "can be done easily by the governors themselves. Mostly it's cotton. It's not a big deal, you can get cotton easily, but if they can't get it, we will take care of it."

Just my opinion

Here in Maine, we are in the extremely capable hands of Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control, who provides us with his daily COVID-19 updates and statistics in a calm, intelligent, sincerely empathetic manner.

Looking at myself first

In politics I may strive to change others. In prayer I may be made to look at myself and my own behavior first.

A disposable mask idea

For some of your readers who may be looking for a simple way to make disposable masks, I found an easy solution.

Trampling on our rights

As an Aroostook County business owner, I ask: How long do you think the people of the state of Maine and the United States will tolerate their rights being trampled?

Medical progress seems slow

At the risk of upsetting my several family members who are in the medical profession, I yet opt to venture into the "whys" we all wonder.

Thoughts on masks and sanitizing

You and we all need industrial grade or medical grade particulate filter masks to filter out the virus.

Working together to lessen risk

The use of these masks would help by preventing asymptomatic carriers of the virus from spreading infected droplets as easily and would protect everyone.

Property tax relief

If there is one thing that’s always on the mind of Mainers when politicians ask what can be done to help them make ends meet, three words are always at the top of the list: property tax relief.

A message to our communities from your four County hospitals

With COVID-19 now in Maine, your four County hospitals want you to know that we are working collaboratively to keep our communities healthy and safe.

Tribalism, resources and conflicts

Do I have a solution for all this most certain disaster about to descend on us all in the coming years? I wish I did.

Don’t let this opportunity slip away

This school, no matter where it is located, could become a major powerhouse.

Plea to young families: fight for Valley Unified school

The only population who can save this project is the younger generation, the parents and future parents, the people who will support and fill this school in the future with kids.
