Caregiving resources are available To the editor, Caregiving may be one of the most important, and challenging, roles you’ll ever assume. No matter where you are in your caregiving journey — starting to plan; taking care of a family member in your home, in a facility, or from a distance; or managing end-of-life caregiving responsibilities […]

Veterans shouldn’t face homelessness To the editor, Not one veteran should face homelessness. That 500,000 suffering souls linger on the streets is hard to stomach. We lack neither the resources – financial or material – nor the expertise to house, clothe and feed each one, so what gives? In place of an honest, humble accounting […]

No one-size-fits-all solution To the editor, I was inspired by the Oct. 28 letter to the editor, “Frightening time for school boards.” The pandemic has placed a huge strain on all of us. Clearly, there is a lot of disagreement over how our school board has navigated the challenges presented by COVID-19. The fact is […]

Support for school district’s efforts To the editor, As retired educators for over 40 years each and grandparents to three school age children, we are in support of the RSU 21 school board, administration and teachers. We have attended school board meetings, and more recently John has substituted in one of the schools. What we […]

To begin with, the state of California is proposing to ban the use of these machines; […]

Since about 1960, when personal timepieces became nearly universal, ringing the hours became noise in two ways: It annoys […]

For whom does the bell toll? To the editor, I read with keen interest the article about the South Congregational Churchʼs steeple restoration. My family’s house has been near the church for 80 years and is likely closer than most church members, including the pastor. What I found most interesting is the quote from the […]

Thanks for the crosswalk help To the editor, I am a disabled senior who hobbles along Main Street in Kennebunk and most people know me because I have a little black cart, which I push because it not only holds all my stuff, but it also keeps me from falling down because I have TBI […]

Thank you for pickleball push To the editor, Thank you Bill Case for your persistence in pushing for pickleball courts in Kennebunkport. Thank you also to the town for providing funds to resurface and line the Beachwood Avenue Rotary Park tennis courts to accommodate both tennis and pickleball and for providing nets for both sports.
