Last week, we recognized the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. This is a sad day of remembrance, but also an important time to honor all the first responders who risked their lives that day, and those who continue to protect the lives of Mainers in our communities every day. There are heroes […]

Opinion – Warrior PATHH leads to post-traumatic growth
For over two decades, firefighting and EMS was my life. I started at 15 as a junior firefighter, driven by the desire to serve and protect my community.

Opinion – Greeting dance in the time of pestilence
COVID-19 came and stayed, and some of us survived by being vaccinated, some by growling at it, sweet-talking or outsmarting the virus.
