  • Letter: Honor code enforcement shuns due process

    Thanks to Edgar Allen Beem for last week's commentary. That a Yarmouth High School student was apparently interrogated and sentenced by school authorities for an honor-code violation without representation – all based on a Facebook photo submitted by an anonymous source – looks like a...

  • Letter: Freeport pastor responds

    Stephen Farrand's letter in response to my letter begs for correction. The most up-to-date English translations of the Bible use the word "drunkard" and not the word "alcoholic" because it's not simply referring to those who need treatment, but those who in recent weeks hav... 2

  • Ice storm heroics

    Another ice storm; whether it rivaled the 1998 storm will be debated in the days to come. I was sitting in the dark Friday night with a flashlight, book and scanner. Without a scanner you don't realize everyone working during a storm. I want to extend a big thank you to the fire, rescue, publi...

  • Delays possible

    Stormy weather is upon us. For the last several years, we have canceled school for the entire day when conditions clearly warranted such action. This year we also plan to consider the option of a one- or two-hour delayed start, which simply means that the bus pick-up schedule will ...

  • Eye of the beholder

    After finally getting my power back on, I got to read the Dec. 10 edition, which contained the article about "Artist sought for Ocean Ave. school." The article states information about $45,000 for art at the school entrance. No doubt this is due to some governmental provision to use a...

  • Beem's threat

    Edgar Allen Beem is as far left as the "lunatic fringe" of the right?

  • Storm surge

    I'm appalled that Edgar Allen Beem would complain about the fine job our CMP line workers do during a storm (The Universal Notebook, Dec. 3-5). As a wife of a line worker I know first hand how hard they work to get people's power on. The poor man from Yarmouth had little sleep that night due ...
