Letters

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.

Madawaska school shines

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.

Credit where it’s due

To the editor: Some observations on James Chasse’s letter “Biden is a real American.”

Biden is a real American

To the editor: Mr. Lou Ouellette’s letter of April 21 is simply full of misinformation and untruths concerning our very proficient and efficient President Joe Biden, who I believe is a humongous improvement over the monumental debacle that was Donald Trump.

Biden not responsible for everything

To the Editor: Regarding Lou Ouellette’s latest letter: Mr. Ouellette says President Biden is responsible for the rise in gas prices. In fact, gas prices started rising late last year, under Trump, and have continued an upward trend, not because of Biden but because of market forces -- supply and demand.

Administration policies are questionable

To the editor: Here we are just a few weeks into Biden's administration and have thus far witnessed gas price increases, layoff increases, tax increases, convict releases, and surges of illegals storming our southern borders at the invitation and consent of smiling Joe.

What is protesting too much?

To the editor: Paul Cyr called my letter in the Times “Calling for compromise and equality” on March 31, 2021, “Walter Crean’s latest letter on racism.” The last paragraph of his response deserves a bit of attention.

Madawaska boy’s kindness and values a credit

To the editor: Thank you for printing "Madawaska boy rescues injured pigeon, sets it free after rehab" on the front page of your March 31 issue.

Protesting too much

To the editor: Re: Walter Crean’s latest letter on racism. I decided to conduct an experiment to test his theory. At 9 a.m. I sat down with a clock in front of the TV and turned Fox News on. I let one minute go by waiting to see if the racism issue would come up.

Calling for compromise and equality

To the editor: Every time you turn on the television there seems to be somebody blaming racism for one thing or another. It seems that racial disparity is running rampant in our country. It seems the theme is that if you’re white you are automatically a racist, if you are a minority you are automatically a victim.

Gun fetish

To the editor: Merriam-Webster defines a fetish as “…an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion.” It seems to me that many people fetish over guns.

Asking for candidate support

To the editor: In lieu of the fact that the candidate forum for the three people running for the Fort Kent Town Council was canceled, I would like to tell you about my friend Brandon Dayton who is running for a seat on the council.

Questioning Van Buren’s police choice

To the editor: Van Buren closed the police station in December. Why? They say it’s because they cannot find anyone to hire. A nation with 7 percent unemployment cannot find an officer to employ?
