Mainewhile: Let kids discover the true magic of summer
My social media is flooded with photos of kids I knew as babies, grinning from ear to ear beneath their tasseled caps, ready to leap into what’s next.

Life Unwound: Then and now, father always knows best
Dad. He was right. Maybe 40 years ago, as I trained for a marathon, my right hip started to ache. But I said, “I must run 10 miles this week, 12 coming up soon. I must push on.” Mid-run, my body would burn to quit. But no. My mind insisted: “Go. Take aspirin. Ignore the […]

Letter: GOP ‘solutions’ to gun violence are laughable
Let me see if I have this straight. The Republicans in Congress, following their great leaders like Tucker Carlson, are expressing multiple ideas for ending gun violence, none of which limits guns in any way. They suggest many things that are already in place and failing to prevent mass shootings, such as armed security and […]

Letter: Pride crosswalk a bridge of support for LGBTQ+ youth
Regarding the June 3 article “Topsham urged to make its own pride crosswalk,” I initially wanted to respond to Topsham Assistant Town Manager Mark Waltz’s quoted responses, which were dismissive and lacked consideration of the benefits that pride crosswalks provide to communities.

Letter: Teen activist short-sighted on fossil fuel industry
Praise the fossil fuel industry, not divest from it. Your story regarding Ms. Anna Siegel’s Brookie award for requesting that Maine divest itself from investments in fossil fuels lacks any critical thought (“Yarmouth teen activist wins a Brookie for climate work,” June 3). How will the environment benefit from such divestment? If the logic is […]

Cooking at the Cove: Sharing the fruits of an Irish vacation
I recently returned from a trip to Ireland and decided to share my good vacation vibes via a few U.K. dishes that were on menus throughout the Emerald Isle. I know it’s June and an oven casserole topped with mashed potatoes, salad dotted with Gorgonzola and Sticky Toffee Pudding may not speak summer to you, […]
