  • Letter: Freeport pastor responds

    Stephen Farrand's letter in response to my letter begs for correction. The most up-to-date English translations of the Bible use the word "drunkard" and not the word "alcoholic" because it's not simply referring to those who need treatment, but those who in recent weeks hav... 2

  • Letter: A pastor's position

    Steven Priestly's letter deserves comment. His characterization of Leviticus as "a long-winded, spiteful and seemingly arbitrary tirade" misses the fact that Leviticus 18 not only prohibits homosexual conduct, but bestiality and incest – sexual relations with the same persons menti... 1

  • Letter: Yarmouth candidate apologizes

    I am writing to apologize to Yarmouth Town Councilors Karl Steinbach and Jeff Darrell for conveying an error as part of an ad that I placed in The Forecaster pertaining to my candidacy for Town Council.

  • Letter: Don't waste your 2nd chance

    As I logged into Cumberland's Web site to view the results of the school budget vote on May 26 I was shocked and disappointed not only by the result of the vote, but the fact that only 583 of the 5,837 registered Cumberland voters chose to let their voices be heard. To the 10 percent who voted...

  • Letter: Every vote really counts

    True story: I picked up The Forecaster last Tuesday and read about the SAD 51 budget and that there was to be a vote scheduled for that day. It was 3 p.m. so I didn't have much time, but raced to the polls to vote.
