Is it a positive step? I don't know if it is or not. It might be too little too late." — Peter Calderone of Attleboro, who was sexually abused by defrocked priest James Porter, assessing Pope Benedict XVI's meeting with Boston-area victims of the priest abuse scandal. "We applaud the pope for meeting with the survivors. But this is a first step. ... Nothing has changed in terms of lay involvement, the culture of secrecy and bishops not being held accountable." — Dan Bartley, president of Voice of the Faithful, a lay group formed in response to the sex abuse scandal. "The turnover of homes in Marion has not favored families with children." — Old Rochester Regional School Superintendent Dr. Bill Cooper, talking about the changing face of the Sippican Elementary School, where enrollment has dropped from a high of 530 students to just under 430 in recent years. "She literally established this department and brought it where it is today." — Acushnet Selectman David E. Wojnar, reflecting on Emergency Medical Services Director Adrienne Rivet's decision to retire after 27 years on the job and her work building the department when St. Luke's Hospital ended its paramedic service.
