Jared Marcum, a 14-year-old West Virginia student, showed up for class in April wearing a t-shirt with the NRA logo, a picture of a gun and the line, "support your right," written on it.

By Percentage, Lewiston-Auburn Schools Are Less Funded Than Other Towns
I don't know all of the answers, nor do I pretend to have the answers. Last Tuesday Auburn residents, like other municipalities' residents, voted on school budgets and other town or city issues. I voted yes for 6.9 school budget increase, which I know would result in a tax increase. The proposed increase was voted down by 60% of the voters. OK, for Auburn it's back to the drawing board.
Have Any Summer Jobs You Loved or Would Like To Forget?
As summer vacation starts, so do summer jobs for many students in high school and college. What were some of your summer jobs? In my teen years I remember being a dishwasher at a local seasonal restaurant. Of course I also did the fast food thing, but one summer when I was just 15 or 16 I was part of an "Odd Job Squad." The "Odd Job Squad" is where the the weird and fun in writing comes.
Maine House Passes A Bill Requiring GMO Labeling In Foods
I’m always a little hesitant when writing about newsy things I don’t really know a lot about. I did see that the Maine House voted 141-4 on a bill that would require food manufacturers to disclose whether the food has genetically modified organisms or GMOs for short. I don’t really know a lot about these food experiments. I knew experiments were going on in labs and that Monsanto is the king of modifying food but that's really it.
Guys, Would You Take A Birth Control Pill If It Were Available?
The birth control pill has been around for decades. There is a story out today saying that Yaz or Yasmin has been related to 23 deaths in Canada. And another article I came across claiming there have been at least 190 deaths in the U.S. due to that brand of birth control.
Polls Are Open In Auburn
I probably wrote something similar back in November at the time of the general election. Writing here to remind people of how important it is to vote, whether it is in November or June. Or at other times of the year as the case may be.
Someone Once Told Me, “Work Long Enough at a Convenience Store, You’ll Eventually Get Robbed” – Yup
Earlier this morning (June 10), the Big Apple Store in Brewer on Wilson St. was robbed. It’s been a really long time, but I used to work there. While working at the store back in the mid 90s I also worked 50 feet behind the building at a radio station on Acme Rd. Thankfully I was never held up or robbed while working. I had the usual issues people who work at convenience stores have. Drunks trying to buy alcohol, pump drive offs (which is theft but not in the way I’m referring to here). I was once robbed though back in 1991.
