Coastal History: Maine’s own Mickey Moo
There have been many spontaneous portraits that appeared, like magic, in the strangest places. The face of Satan in a billowing cloud of volcanic ash. The face of Jesus on a burnt piece of toast.

Letter: Balentine condone’s Trump’s bullying and belittlement
John Balentine’s recent column chastises Trump for his use of profanity in a recent speech (Oct. 25). Oh, how far we have fallen that this is our new threshold for criticism. His slap on the wrist only goes so far as he writes, “I’m a Trump supporter and appreciate his sense of humor.” While I […]
