Letter to the editor: Offshore wind projects will add to hazards faced by coastal mariners
By Gov. Mills’ executive order of Feb. 15, the way is cleared for wind turbine proposals on land and sea. Offshore installations add a new navigational hazard in fog that stalks the Maine coast mariner. Of course, most vessels today are equipped with radar to pierce the fog that draws its blinding curtain before the […]

Letter to the editor: Speak out against metastasizing scourge of online sexual harassment
I am an 18-year-old student, and I have just realized what a monstrous problem online sexual harassment has become in our society. For many reasons, I have never participated in social media. I had read several thoughtful commentaries warning of the hateful speech and misogynist attitudes metastasizing through the internet, their connection to Donald Trump’s […]

Letter to the editor: Maine Senate Republican leader among those who overlook studies that contradict tax-cut support
How disappointing that Dana Dow, minority leader in the Maine Senate, could only offer a tired refrain in response to Gov.

Letter to the editor: Scarborough man seeks speedy solution to surplus of antique pianos
Three years ago, I bought a trailer (that’s what I do for a living) that contained some 25 antique (100- to 140-year-old) pianos, including Steinways, Chickerings, etc. The price was right and I thought it might be fun and profitable to do this.

Letter to the editor: President Trump fights, but for the wrong things
Re: Charles M. Todorich’s Feb. 11 Maine Voices, “Why do conservatives overlook Trump’s faults? He fights”: Breaking news (Fox probably neglected to tell Mr. Todorich) – the Vietnam War. President Trump didn’t fight. Foot trouble. So brave, so brave. It seems a doctor got some grease and took care of those feet. Not Trump, but […]

Letter to the editor: Ogunquit recall shouldn’t proceed if it can’t withstand legal scrutiny
Ogunquit is headed to court over a recall process that was started back in October. After our Select Board upheld the termination of our fire chief in a 3-to-2 vote, a group of citizens decided to seek the recall three of our Select Board members, as they were unhappy with that decision. Ogunquit’s charter has […]

Letter to the editor: School curricula that focus on just 1 faith teach the wrong lesson
In the Feb. 16 Religion & Values section (Page C8), there was a story about students given a five-day lesson on Islam. The students were required to complete a worksheet on the growth of Islam, its beliefs and practices and links between Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Students then had to fill in the blanks of […]
