In this file photo from April 2010, Taylor Cooper does a jump off the stairs leading up to the Grand Victorian in Old Orchard Beach. Cooper and other skateboarders said they convene fairly regularly in Old Orchard’s downtown area, jumping, spinning and twisting their way across some of their favorite skating hotspots. Youths are now petitioning for a skate park in town. (JEFF LAGASSE/Journal Tribune Photo Illustration)

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
