The Greyhounds didn’t start the season with a goal of being unbeaten. Funny how that works out sometimes.

N. Smith: A part of today’s society
I write in response to the article printed Oct. 2, “MPA vacates Cheverus’ 2010 title.” I agree with Coach Adams’ comments regarding the 2010 title.

Which pretty much makes them proportionate to the rest of him. If Poland or any other Western Class C team is going to dismiss a 6-foot-3, 230-pound junior with reliable […]

J. Cribbin: Moving Maine forward
I am glad voters returned Lois Snowe-Mello to the Maine Senate. She has really come into her own and has done a lot. Health insurance costs for many families are starting to come down for the first time ever. She helped pass tax incentives for small business job creation. Together, with others, Snowe-Mello has had […]
