The similarities between what’s currently going on in this country and the World War II era are striking.

A note of thanks from National American Miss Maine | Letter
I am honored to share that I have been crowned National American Miss Maine. This experience has been both humbling and empowering, and I am grateful for the support of my family, community and everyone who has believed in me along the way. My journey is proof that blue-collar women can wear crowns, too. Pageantry […]

It’s time to speak out against the horror in Gaza | Letter
To remain silent while witnessing the horror in Gaza is to be complicit in Israel’s taking retribution for the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by starving innocent children. It is time for our Maine representatives in the House and Senate and minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to speak out against the withholding of food […]

Wondering how to curb Trump’s negative activities | Letter
One can only wonder just what, if anything, can be done to curb President Trump’s negative activities. It is constantly mentioned in the media, and from people at large, about his illegal actions, and those disregarding the Constitution in particular. We know that he has no respect for the law and, in my estimation, the […]

Kudos on coverage of Portland City Council’s ICE decision | Letter
Kudos to Portland Press Herald reporter Grace Benninghoff for her vigilant coverage of the opaque Portland City Council meeting that apparently (we can’t know for sure because the meeting was behind closed doors and no vote was reported) approved stipulations on a federal contract that seems to require cooperation with ICE. The Trump administration is […]

Portland should not collaborate with ICE | Letter
City leaders’ choice to cooperate in exchange for money for the Portland Jetport was a cowardly one.

Sickened by U.S. complicity in Gaza genocide | Letter
I find myself sickened by our government’s complicity in the unforgivable genocidal actions of Israel. That we give aid to those who murder and starve a prostrate population erases my faith in our country’s ability to distinguish between good and evil. Mike Gent Gardiner

Why a ‘Yes’ vote on Question 1 matters | Letter
I am writing in support of requiring identification when voting. A few years back, in my small town of Durham, I went to vote … and my name had already been checked off. I had not been to the polls yet, nor had I filled out an absentee ballot. I happened to know there was […]

This is just the beginning of government intrusion into our lives | Letter
Everything seems to be working out just fine now. We have the federal government patrolling our city streets and special agents rounding up the undesirables. All we need now is to indoctrinate our children and come up with a special salute. No more burning flags; people should expect trouble if they don’t agree with our […]

A musical jewel in Augusta | Letter
Augusta is very fortunate to have the Augusta Symphony Orchestra (ASO), which has been in existence for over 100 years. I recently attended a Soiree Chamber Music concert of members of the ASO. It was beautiful and well-performed. Much hard work goes into the preparation for a concert. The ASO deserves our support, both financial […]
