Letter to the editor: Valuable work of Alzheimer’s Association relies on volunteers
Last month, I was fortunate to be one of 900 volunteers to join the Alzheimer’s Association for its annual Community Leadership Summit in San Diego. It was energizing to meet other volunteers and learn the various reasons and motivations that bring us together to actively support the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Letter to the editor: Clamor over classified documents contributes nothing
Nationwide, there is a deceitful clamor over classified documents – but not all of them, just those held by three exalted Americans – claiming those cases to be alike.

Letter to the editor: Maine state budget should put care above corrections
While there is much to celebrate in the state’s biennial budget, there are two areas that I find quite concerning: the $45 million increase to the Maine Department of Corrections (bringing total budget to $461 million) and the $80 million increase to the Department of Public Safety (bringing total budget to $127 million).

Letter to the editor: U.S. double standard on Ukraine should not stand
We wouldn’t hand over national territory just to avoid prolonging a war, so we shouldn’t push Kyiv to negotiate with Moscow and risk giving up its sovereign land.

Letter to the editor: Press Herald photography a daily treat
Many thanks to the Portland Press Herald staff of talented photographers. Tuesday’s (Feb. 21) photos of the state school sports championships are incredible, perfectly conveying the energy, motion and joy of these events. Luckily, every day we are treated to photos that artistically capture the beauty of Maine, its landscape and seascape and its people, […]
