Thank you Sun Journal
The Rumford Free Press would like to express our appreciation for the articles that recently appeared in the Sun Journal. These articles clearly defined some of the problems that have plagued the town in recent years and provided a framework for understanding how negativity has hurt the town. The Rumford Free Press agrees completely with the Sun Journal when it says the residents of the town have an opportunity to improve our situation with the election in June. We encourage all residents to get out to the polls and VOTE.

The SJ article is partly right. The atitudes of a few are having a negative affect on our town. But the problem is not the selectmen. The problem is those who spend their precious time making mountains out of mole hills. Yes, the selectmen have made mistakes, but to advocate public lynching for minor issues is just wrong. Those who post attacks from the shadows of anonymity merely stir the pot. They have no accountability for what they say, and they either playfully or viciously tear people apart without due regard for the person's feelings or reputation. This is shameful and those who do so need to come clean and apologize to those they have wronged. Both "sides" have made mistakes, and both have resorted to attacks. Perhaps now that this blog prohibits attacks, we will see a more peaceful community. I wish that the Doar (blog) had never been Opened. It has torn our community apart.
The SJ has done more damage to our community than anyone else. They have printed half-truths and slanted stories to support certian viewpoints. It is unfortunate that they are our only option.
