Sen. Susan Collins talks about all she does for Maine. She doesn’t talk about what’s happening to the rising costs we face daily. Oil prices are over $100 per barrel and the prices of products we use— diesel, gasoline and jet fuel — have soared. Diesel is about $6 per gallon today. Why is it […]

Several sightings along Maine's coast this summer have brought renewed attention on sharks.

I’ve had cable television since it first became available in Wells in the early 1980s. Back then, using it was simple. Now, in my mid-80s, Spectrum’s service has become far more complicated, unreliable and expensive.

Although I disagreed with the main premise of Cleo Rehkopf’s op-ed in the Sept. 13 Sunday Telegram — asking her student peers, from away, not to vote in Maine’s election — I enjoyed the piece.
