This is in response to Cathy Crowley’s letter to the editor (Oct. 5) about wind towers in the Greenwood area. I feel the same way she does — I am very much against it. When I was growing up, Greenwood was my second home because I had so many relatives and friends up there. Many […]

Turn Trump off
Recently, I read an article in the Sun Journal relating to how President Donald Trump revealed intelligence secrets to the Russians. That really caught my attention. I wonder how much they paid him to do that? I also wonder if the people who voted for him are having second thoughts now? Any time he comes […]

Election reaction
I woke up to a nice, sunny day but when I saw on television that Donald Trump had been elected as president, the clouds rolled in and I lost my appetite for breakfast. Every time I saw him on television, bragging about what he would do if elected, I would change channels. I think Hillary […]

Better pay for state troopers
Recently, I read about a bill that would raise the pay of Maine’s State Troopers. I think they certainly deserve it. During the past, while deer hunting at my friend’s camp in Albany, the State Trooper in town, Don Shedd, would come over and hunt with us. He was one of the nicest guys that […]

Trump would mess up America
I will be awfully glad when the elections are over so that the politicians will be off the television, especially Donald Trump. I wouldn’t vote for Trump for dog catcher. I love dogs. Anytime I see him on television, I change channels or turn the television off. I cannot imagine what a mess this wonderful […]

V. Bacon: Raises well deserved
I was reading the Sun Journal recently and was pleased to read that Oxford County officials voted to give their Sheriff’s Department deputies a raise in pay. They certainly deserve it. Every morning, when they go to work, they never know what idiot they might run into who has a loaded gun and no respect […]

V. Bacon: Save the hospitals
This is in response to the article (March 5) regarding the response Gov. Paul LePage made in defense of his proposed budget that would cut funds to the small hospitals. In the Oxford Hills area, Stephens Memorial Hospital and the Rumford Hospital are the ones residents depend upon for care. I was on Tri-Town Rescue […]

V. Bacon: I miss the people
On Tuesday morning, Jan. 20, I was reading your very fine newspaper and I saw a picture of an oil truck driver dragging the hose through the snow to deliver oil to a house. I know what that is all about. I did it for 30 years. It is a hard job. Many times I […]

V. Bacon: Be sure to wear a hat
Recently, I was watching a football game on television. It was announced that the temperature was 35 degrees there. One of the television announcers had on a heavy overcoat and gloves, but no hat. I have been told by some reliable people that 70 percent of a person’s body heat is lost through the head. […]

V. Bacon: Respect for police officers
Saturday, Sept. 20, was Thank a Police Officer Day. They certainly deserve it. Any day when they go to work, they put their lives on the line, not knowing what idiot they might encounter carrying a loaded gun with no respect for human life. I drove oil trucks and delivered bottled gas in 22 different […]
