  • Letter: Elect Sanchez to SAD 51 board

    I am writing to encourage School Administrative District 51 residents to vote for Gigi Sanchez for School Board in the upcoming elections. I know Gigi through youth athletics, specifically girls lacrosse. She is a “roll-your-sleeves-up” person who is generous with her time and talents...

  • The Universal Notebook: Pictures of childhood

    One of the prize artifacts of childhood in our family is a photograph of my mother, age 4, standing on the wheel of Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis as it sat on the sands of Old Orchard Beach in July of 1927. Two months before, Lindbergh had made history by making the first n...

  • Editor's Notebook: Our Payne is your gain

    The Forecaster has what I believe is one of the most readable, enlightening and thought-provoking rosters of local columnists writing for any weekly newspaper in Maine. We have Halsey Frank, who sits on the right side of the aisle and pays particular attention to issues in Portland; Per...
