Abstract

"This Just In" piece reporting that Portland Phoenix freelancer Rick Wormwood has been denied access to Mackworth Island, home of the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf. Wormwood has reported about the school's history of abuse and has continued to seek access to public records held by the school. Peter Gray, Baxter director of business operations, said Wormwood is no longer allowed access to the island based on a "long-standing history of confrontational outbursts on the island." Sarah Forster, assistant attorney general who represents the Baxter School, said state law gives the school and the Department of Conservation joint jurisdiction over access to the island, which is state-owned.
