Our View: Biddeford shouldvote ‘no’ on ill-thought-out racino
Voters in Biddeford are going to get a chance Nov. 2 to do something that voters in Saco and Scarborough have already done, and that voters statewide have done three times: <br /><br /> They can turn down a proposal to build a slot-machine emporium. <br /><br /> That's also what they should do, because no better arguments have been offered for moving Scarborough Downs from that community to a new site down the road than have been offered in the past for the other gambling proposals that have bit the dust since the first two referendums on the topic were voted on in 2003.

Our View: Dental bondwould be good investment
Mainers have a chance to do something about a pressing public health problem by voting "yes" on Question 2, a $5 million bond issue to improve access to dental care. Voters should take the opportunity. We endorse a "yes" vote on Question 2. <br /><br /> Several factors come together to make dental treatment hard to come by in much of the state. <br /><br /> We have about half the national average of dentists per capita, and that is even worse in rural areas.

Our View: School officials should crack down on dirty dancing
From the 1920s Flappers on to punk rockers in the '80s, every generation of American young people has found a way of rebelling that makes their parents uncomfortable. And from the comfortable distance of past decades, some of those parents look a little silly for objecting to what now seem like tame expressions of independence. <br /><br /> But that doesn't mean those parents were wrong. Part of the adults' job is to educate and instruct young people about the social norms of society, as they have been passed on.
