  • The Universal Notebook: FairPoint takes a shot in the dark

    Just when you thought it was safe to do business again with FairPoint Communications, the telecommunications midget threatens to cut the Internet connections of 20,000 Great Works Internet customers. GWI is my Internet service provider and I couldn’t be happier with their service. And Fa...

  • Probing Politics: Paid sick leave proposal hits a raw nerve

    In my work, it always is a challenge to remain focused on ideas, voting records and data. Providing information about legislation and its consequences allows readers or the audiences I address to arrive at their own conclusions. I try to be balanced but, I don’t always succeed. This is one ...

  • Superintendent's Notebook: Make it your mantra: Never give up

    Courtney was a dropout. Recently, she received notification of her college acceptance – and she will graduate from Portland High School in June. Quite a turnaround for a young woman who did not look like she was going to make it through high school, much less be accepted to college.

  • Letter: Inspired by new citizens, Haitian spirit

    I attended my fourth naturalization ceremony on Jan. 15 and was witness to another student's big step into U.S. citizenship. It is truly an honor to witness these events; I never tire of them and I never say no. I am typically the only person there for that particular student, and although it is ...

  • Letter: Layoff a lesson in receiving, giving

    I want to thank the members of the Cumberland community who helped my family survive 2009. On March 3, my husband lost his job. The overwhelming stress and bitterness of this eventually gave way to many blessings. I have come home to a full freezer of donated food. A pile of donated wood w...

  • Letter: Let's tax Les Otten

    I read that Les Otten, a wealthy guy, longs to become governor of our fair state. The state is in the hole big-time, over $400 million, because of the Great Recession.
