I appreciate that the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram needs to publish opposing views, and I usually enjoy reading opinions on both sides of any issue. However, I find it irresponsible of you to print a widely discredited conspiracy theory in Charles Todorich’s “Maine Voices: No time for self indulgence. Love America? Vote Trump” (Oct. […]

On these journeys, I have seen a surprising number […]

I worked in two fields: HR for 25 years and teaching for 20 years. When interviewing job applicants in HR, I asked myself: Will this person show honesty, integrity, a strong work ethic, get along with and respect others? Will she or he demonstrate the humility to own and correct mistakes, and the vision to […]

He and his young wife and two kids moved here a few years ago, and have brought a level of energy and optimism to our town and community […]
