A few words about the president

I read in the newspaper Jan. 26 that the Trumps wanted to borrow a van Gogh painting from a New York museum. With all the money the Trumps have, why not support a struggling artist and pay for a painting? Then, when they return to their own world, they could keep the painting, take it […]

Why should taxpayers pay?

I agree with Gov. Paul LePage, who wants to charge anyone who receives Narcan to save their life after an overdose of an opioid. Why should the state or taxpayers pay for it? I am a citizen of Maine, now retired, but when I was working in the shoe shop, I had to pay more […]

Take responsibility

When will young people start learning to be responsible? Recently, I read about how two 14-year-old boys started the big fire in Tennessee that wiped out a whole community. And what about those people who broke into two barns and scared the cows so badly that one broke its neck? Other people have gone to […]

Lack of morals destroying America

I write in response to an article I read in the Sun Journal on Nov. 1 about a young woman, one wrong guy and her endless struggles. By my own thinking, that one wrong guy, the father of five children by four different women. When he gets out of prison he will look for another […]

An example of stupidity

Ignorance can be corrected through education and study, but there is no help for stupidity. I have my brain in my head, not on a tablet, nor do I have to watch television or Pokemon Go. I also see the car driver go around the corner of Main and Depot streets in Wilton, talking all […]

A lovely photo

What a lovely photo by Russ Dillingham (the moon, April 21). I had to look at it again. The moon looks like those glass balls folks set up in their gardens. Also, the top of the building looks like a pagoda. I wonder if it was recently polished up? The colors of the sky, from […]

Like Rome, U.S. dying from within

I read in the Sun Journal (March 11) how the body or Trueman Moore was recovered from a lake in Maine. He had been walking with three friends but not one of them had the courage to grab him by the arm and take him away from the edge of the lake. It does not […]

Great cartoon by Granlund

I have to marvel at Dave Granlund’s editorial cartoon artwork (Oct. 27). I had read about the dangers of processed meat and then saw his cartoon in the Sun Journal. He was very speedy with it, as well as others I have saved from before. It is strange, but just recently I had looked through […]

H. Weber: Church bells should be used

Recently, I read in the Sun Journal that the bells from the former St. Louis Church in New Auburn are now safe and will not be sold out of state. I think they should be returned to their former place in the church tower. The church is now owned by a group of five investors, […]

H. Weber: Inappropriate for girls

This is response to a photo that accompanied a story that ran Jan. 27 showing a 6-year-old girl learning to shoot targets during the Winter Festival Paintball Biathlon in Auburn. I am angry with the Sun Journal to print such a photo and to call it fun — teaching a little girl to shoot. It […]
