Letter to the editor: Lift up the expressions of what is good and right
I write with regret about the decision of the editors to reduce drastically the content of the Religion & Values page in the Saturday Portland Press Herald, including discontinuing the Reflections column, for which I and many other local contributors have written. The role of a local newspaper is both to reflect and to shape our common life and dialogue. As much now as ever, we need to lift up diverse expressions of what is good and right and true, what makes us better human beings and a better community. This editorial decision diminishes the paper’s value in that role.

Letter to the editor: Issue-oriented, hardworking Cote well prepared to lead Maine
I first met Adam Cote many years ago, while I was teaching at Sanford High School. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, teachers were asked to monitor student hall passes. Upon seeing a student meandering down the hall, I used my authoritative voice and asked to see his hall pass. Adam (who wasn’t in any of my classes) quickly complied: no eye rolling, no shoulder wing dips, just a “Yes, sir. No problem, sir.” His demeanor and attitude must have been influenced by his father (Roland Cote) who was on the faculty. At the time I thought to myself that this student might have a career in the military.
