Letter: Domestic homeless in Brunswick deserve housing, too
In defense of Nancy Chesley’s May 26 comments questioning why Brunswick keeps accepting asylum seekers, I, too, wonder how the many Brunswick families and homeless folks are feeling about being left out of the new housing being built for asylum seekers at Brunswick Landing. Our own citizens needing such accommodations are also worthy of being […]

Letter: Thank you, Freeport, for speaking up about abuse
A “thank you” as big as the Desert of Maine to Freeport for breaking the silence of domestic abuse in such a bold and beautiful way with Finding Our Voices in May. It started with a “yes” from the Freeport Community Library to host a presentation, with Director Courtney Sparks, Adult Services Librarian Meghan Fogg […]

Cooking at the Cove: Pack a perfect picnic Part 2: Sweet potato salad with Sriracha
I just can’t help myself – you’ll be hearing about picnics often from me this summer. If you’re not a picnic person (I am aghast to think of it), these ideas and recipes can of course be eaten in other places. Hopefully not in front of your computer or television, though. If that’s the case, […]

Letter: Immigrants bring us far more than they cost us
I am responding to Nancy Chesley’s May 26 letter, “Why does Brunswick keep accepting asylum seekers?” The Center for Immigration Studies is an anti-immigrant hate group, per the Southern Poverty Law Center, so quoting them in your spurious argument against immigrants is not a good look. The simple truth is, while immigrants need help in […]

Letter: Welcome, immigrants! Welcome to you all!
I read Nancy Chesley’s May 26 anti-immigration letter. I hope she wrote it herself. Poor soul, caught in sophistry and grievance instead of the beauty of generosity. I revel in living in a country rich enough to help others. I would invite her for coffee but I bet she wouldn’t come because I am the […]
