    Letter: ICE protects American citizens on a daily basis

    Mr. Beem’s denigration of ICE in his Nov. 24 article “Making nice with ICE,” while somewhat restrained, is off the mark. He tries to include comments on administration policy, Customs and Border Protection policy, Border Patrol activity and ICE in a somewhat confusing manner. The main thrust of the article is criticism of ICE, including […]

    Letter: Stop the fuss, seat Kuech on Gorham council

    I’m not quite sure what all the fuss is about regarding the seating of Janet Kuech on the Town Council in Gorham. Town officials knew she works for the school department and they didn’t take her name off the ballot. She won her seat on the Town Council. She should be seated, period. She can […]

    Letter: Beem confusing Trump with Biden

    With respect to the Ukranian call transcript, I don’t know how anyone with an ounce of common sense can call the phrase “do us a favor” a demand. (Edgar Allen Beem’s “R.I.P., GOP,” Dec. 19) Also, nowhere in it is money, aid or funds even mentioned. Oh wait, I’m sorry. I see the problem. You […]

    Letter: Veterans should be treasured for serving community

    As a veteran, it’s satisfying to see large turnouts at Memorial Day and Veterans Day events.  That said, it is equally dissatisfying to read that a candidate for public office allegedly referred to military uniforms as “costumes.” Having served in the Vietnam era, I assumed comments like that were no longer in the hearts of […]

    Letter: Maine needs senator who will stand up for small businesses

    Small businesses bring character, community and life to our city and our state – something unique in an economy increasingly dominated by chains and large online corporations. Every morning when we key into our storefronts, small business owners like myself are greeted with the opportunity of another day where we add value to our neighborhoods, […]

    The Universal Notebook: 2020 visions

    Though I possess neither crystal ball nor psychic powers, I believe anyone who is paying attention can foresee the immediate future. Gazing across the void of a few days into 2020, here’s what I see: Donald Trump will face impeachment, but he will not be removed from office.

    Letter: Congratulate EPA, at 50, for job well done

    Mainers under 50 were not yet born when the modern-day environmental movement was born out of general outrage over the smog suffocating our urban areas, widespread pesticide use and harmful discharges into our waterways rendering it unsafe to drink and lethal to fish. The youthful rebellion took the form of Earth Day (April 21, 1970) […]
