Waldoboro Philanthropist Remembered for Building Community

Known to some as the “mayor” of Waldoboro, Anthony “Tony” Gallace, community philanthropist, mailman, and grill master, died on Oct. 13. He was 50. “Dad always thought of life as a puzzle, and everybody was a different puzzle piece, and he helped make the pieces fit,” said Andrew Gallace, his son. “No matter who you were, and what you had going on in your life, he always made you feel included.”

AFP via Getty Images You may have guessed it’s not exactly Susan Collins territory . Despite the fact that the elusive Collins is aggressively uncollegial to MAGA Republicans and regarded as a RINO nuisance by Donald Trump , Portlandians will tell you she is the president’s puppet. They are fed up with ads trashing her Democrat opponent Troy Jackson for, among other things, marrying his second cousin. El-Sayed defends trans athletes in girls’ sports: ‘We manufacture these social issues’ She has kept such a low profile on the campaign that Jackson’s team displays a giant milk carton at his events featuring her face
