Bob Mennealy: We’re all in this pandemic together
Here’s hoping that the Sunday River Brewing Co. is ultimately granted the licenses that it needs to reopen, for the sake of its approximately 60 employees and their families. And that the business then strictly adheres to the same stringent safety protocols that all other area restaurants have been following, most without incident. Countries worldwide […]

Carole Richards: Kudos to democracy’s supporters
We owe a debt of gratitude to the millions of Black people and the young people of our country for standing in line for hours to vote in the 2020 election. They love our country, and were willing to endure cold, heat, harassment to have their voices heard. They are the ones who turned the […]

Andrew Tasker: Republicans haven’t supported U.S. citizens
I hope people will share their thoughts, and encourage friends and family to send emails to their representatives, recommending that Washington Republicans be punished for backing a man who has made it obvious that the reason he has often admired so many of the world’s dictators is that he wishes to be America’s dictator, and […]

Patricia Bernard: Let common sense drive CMP corridor project
We need to look closely at the Central Maine Power corridor project. We need to use our own resources. Water power has been the reason we’ve had all the mills and other industries that fueled our growth. The dams have been on our rivers for generations, and the environment has adapted.

Rudolph Ziehm: Truth must outweigh differing political views
The roots of democracy are the existence and acceptance of differing opinions. No one in their right mind wants only one view to prevail over all. Our nation has survived for 250 years living by this rule. Even though the president-elect is an “old white man,” that thinking no longer prevails. I do not want […]

Richard Whiting: Trump a reminder of King George III after riot
The last time we had an invasion of the Capitol was during the War of 1812, when the British attacked. England’s leader, King George III, also known as “Mad King George,” likely had lead poisoning and was probably brain-damaged by then. In 2021, the Capitol was invaded by a horde of barbarians, the enemy within, […]

In rebuttal: Laurie O’Higgins: Disagreement with Leonard’s views on riot
I write in response to Mark Laflamme’s Jan. 7 assessment of the “mixed” reaction to the violence unleashed on Capitol Hill, in an attempt to preempt the certification of Joe Biden as the next United States president. While Laflamme acknowledged that many local people found it “unsettling,” he gave pride of place to the view […]

Laura Fralich: White grievance is racism: Why New Gloucester Selectman George Colby needs to be recalled
The racial grievance mentality of Colby’s comments are deeply harmful in that they disregard the centuries of racial violence and racist policies as well as the realities of the current racial inequities in wealth, housing, education, criminal justice, and health.
