\u201cThere\u2019s plenty of good work that has been done, and I\u2019ve been honored to be a part of it, and there\u2019s plenty of good work that can still be done,\u201d Goodlatte said as he prepared to leave his digs (with a view of the Capitol) in the Rayburn House Office Building.<\/p>\n
Friedenberger also covered the swearing-in of Goodlatte\u2019s successor, Republican Ben Cline \u201994. Cline spoke of working with Democrats to reopen the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do believe we can chart a new course working together on issues where we have common ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Steve Collins of the Lewiston Sun Journal <\/em>covered Golden\u2019s arrival at the U.S. capital, noting that the 2nd District Democrat\u2019s first days on the job were marked by a vote for Speaker of the House (for Cheri Bustos, D-Illinois); \u201cHouse\u201d-warming gifts from two fellow Maine lawmakers, independent Sen. Angus King and Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree; and a near-car crash on the way from the airport.<\/p>\n Jared Golden \u201911 greets his supporters at the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston on Nov. 6.

Overall, her research has shown that emissions from heating fuel, electricity, and streetlights have all gone down in recent years, but the town’s vehicle fleet remains a significant source of emissions.<\/p>\n The fire department has done a particularly good job \u2014 thanks in part to a solar array on its rooftop \u2014 with reducing emissions, Brennan told reporter Deborah McDermott. \u201cThere\u2019s a really exciting story to tell here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n For a review of a new art exhibit on the infamous \u201cBlack Sox\u201d scandal of the 1919 World Series, San Francisco Chronicle <\/em>reporter John Shea spoke with Richard Johnson \u201978, curator of the Sports Museum in Boston and a friend of the artist, Thom Ross.<\/p>\n \u201cHe gets into a subject and researches it assiduously and has a real attraction to the quintessential American stories that almost morphed into fables,\u201d Johnson told Shea. \u201cThe Black Sox seem to fit into that mold.\u201d<\/p>\n David Harry of The Forecaster <\/em>talked to Chuck Radis \u201975, an osteopath who practiced on the islands of Casco Bay for more than 30 years and has now written a book about his experiences.<\/p>\n Radis worked out of the Peaks Island Health Center, often reaching patients by police boat. He hopes the book will \u201cprovide historical background for some people who looked at the islands as upscale and homogeneous,\u201d Radis told Harry.<\/p>\n Radis, who now practices rheumatology in Portland and has founded a nonprofit that works in a refugee camp in Uganda, still lives on Peaks Island.<\/p>\n After 40 years, 303 career wins, and three Massachusetts high school football Super Bowl titles, Tom Lopez \u201969 is retiring as head football coach at Lincoln-Sudbury High School.<\/p>\n Showing that he still has football moves, head coach Tom Lopez ’69 dodges players trying to dump water on him after his 300th career victory on Oct. 19, 2018.

It\u2019s a great place to coach, a great school, great kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Lopez, who won his 300th game last October<\/a>, was an outstanding end for Bates football as a student.<\/p>\n The Boston Globe <\/em>and other media outlets reported that Kelli Armstrong \u201986 will become president of Salve Regina University in 2019.<\/p>\n Armstrong, currently vice president for planning and assessment at Boston College, will be the first lay president of Salve Regina, which is affiliated with the Religious Sisters of Mercy.<\/p>\n The university has \u201ccreated a wonderful educational environment that is unique in its preparation of students for lifelong learning with a moral compass,\u201d Armstrong said in a statement. \u201cSalve Regina has a bright, exciting future, and I look forward to working with the entire University community to advance its mission.\u201d<\/p>\n After a Bates panel on the legacy of Edmund Muskie \u201936, Steve Collins of the Lewiston Sun Journal <\/em>dived into the college\u2019s Edmund S. Muskie Archives to explore the relationship between the statesman and his Bates mentor: legendary rhetoric and speech professor Brooks Quimby, Class of 1918.<\/p>\n Rhetoric and speech professor Brooks Quimby, Class of 1918, reads The Bates Student<\/em> in February 1955. (Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library)<\/p><\/div>\n Muskie said in a 1957 speech that Quimby, who debated at Bates as a student and returned as a coach and professor for 40 years, helped him transform from a \u201cshy boy\u201d into a confident, articulate speaker able to take on the 20th century\u2019s most pressing challenges.<\/p>\n \u201cAbove all, (Quimby) taught us to seek fulfillment for ourselves by developing our capacity to make a contribution to the world about us,\u201d Muskie said. \u201cHe inspired us to do so, as he still does, by his own example.\u201d<\/p>\n Arts reporter Bob Keyes covered the Bates College Museum of Art exhibit Anthropocenic: Art About the Natural World in the Human Era<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n
