I’ve read a lot about the tragic death of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, and Victoria Hugo-Vidal’s July 19 column (“Any justice for Johan requires us to abolish ICE”) makes the most sense. Does anyone really think that in America Johan’s death is somehow justified in the bigger picture of getting all the “criminal” immigrants out […]

Touristy Wiscasset can’t have it both ways | Letter
I was recently traveling through Wiscasset when I was in a minor traffic incident. Our trailer clipped the bike rack on another vehicle, so we turned down a side street, off of the busy Route 1 traffic snarl that usually occurs at the intersection by Red’s Eats. As we parked and exited our cars, discussing […]

I’m supporting Susan Collins because she supports us | Letter
Sen. Susan Collins was there for my family when we needed her most. I will never forget her support and compassion. Politically, I am a moderate. I’ve seen good and bad on both sides of the political aisle. Most issues aren’t black and white, and seemingly good decisions often have negative consequences — which is […]

Steady on, Troy Jackson | Letter
This morning, I, like others, received a text from Troy Jackson: “I am incredibly proud to be their (Maine Democrats’) choice for Democratic nominee in our U.S. Senate race.” I am an ABC voter (Anybody But Collins). Whether intentional or not, Mr. Jackson’s misrepresentation of his status just five days prior to Saturday’s convention, contained […]

Recalling my own storied, baseball-card childhood | Letter
The July 19 article “Stacks and stacks of wax packs, now obsolete, summon the joy of baseball-card childhoods” brought me down memory lane. I was able to begin collecting Topps trading cards in the early 1960s because my father would give a weekly quarter-dollar allowance. A pack of cards cost 5 cents. Lucky was the […]

What’s this? Florida man disgusted with Maine? | Letter
This newspaper’s editors do a pretty good job, so I was surprised when I came across a misplaced piece in a recent Maine Sunday Telegram. I read a letter to the editor from Mr. George Sigler (“We’re skipping Maine because Maine supported Platner,” July 17), a contribution clearly meant for the comics section. A quick […]

Pro-life, or pro-some lives? | Letter
I will make this short. It is ironic that some of the same people who are so staunchly “pro-life” are OK with ICE shooting and killing innocent adults. Linda RogoffPortland

ICE atrocity must end | Letter
If there was ever a time for Sen. Susan Collins to find her backbone, this is the time. The indiscriminate killings of innocent people by a group of poorly trained masked thugs taking orders from a convicted felon (our president) must stop — before the people of Maine and this country turn the tables on […]

Bobby Charles will restore fairness and common sense in Maine | Letter
As a senior living on a fixed income in my home, which has housed three generations of our family, I have always taken pride in Maine’s quiet, hardworking way of life. But lately, a deep sense of heartbreak and frustration has replaced that pride. Regular Maine citizens are being actively pushed out of their own […]
