On Saturday, Nov. 16, at approximately 9:30 a.m., two young whitetail deer, between a year and a half to two years old, based on their slender neck, short antlers and slightly small build, were seen traveling together across Woodford Street at Fellows Street, headed in the direction of Caldwell towards Deering High School. Unfortunately, the […]

The Maine Turnpike Authority still has plans for some sort of corridor out into Gorham. The groundswell against this project is growing. A few years ago, there was a push to remove the tolls from the Greater Portland area ramps. The thought was that by removing the tolls, drivers would use the “free” pike and […]

There is so much I want to say to those who elected Donald J. Trump. But I will start with: We see them. They support a man who cannot put together a coherent sentence. A man who is a misogynist and was found liable for rape. A man with multiple felonies and a history of […]

It made me very sad and angry to read the recent letter espousing the rejection of RFK Jr.’s nomination (“Sen. Collins should reject RFK Jr.’s nomination,” Nov. 20).

The holiday isn’t just a gathering of the clan but also the resurrection of family ghosts and hallowed traditions. Although many of their smiling faces are now gone, they will never be […]

A headline on a Nov. 10 Telegram Opinion page op-ed reads “This is an obvious time for a centrist party in America.” I respectfully disagree. More appropriate would be: “Time to elect more centrist Republicans, Democrats and independents to federal offices.” Efforts to create third parties in the U.S. have failed miserably. A principal reason, […]
