PORTLAND – Richard Alan Jacobs, 67, passed away peacefully at home with his family on May 8, 2021.
He was born in Portland on June 29, 1953 to William E. Jacobs and Irene (Ratliff) Souza. A near lifelong resident of Bancroft Street, he attended local schools and was particularly close to his maternal grandparents, Clarence and Ida Ratliff, whom he lived with growing up. Upon leaving school Rick went to work, ultimately settling at Data General in Westbrook where he remained until the plant’s closure. He then went to work for himself providing handyman, snow plowing, and lawn care services to customers throughout Portland. ....

Transgender Georgians, families brace as states pass restrictive laws


Throughout much of her childhood, P. felt like something was off. But she didn t know exactly what.
I felt at odds with myself, the Decatur resident recounted. Almost like my physical body was trying to push me in one direction but I wanted to go another.
The breakthrough moment came on a family vacation in 2017, when she read a National Geographic cover story about Avery Jackson, a pink-haired 9-year-old who is transgender.
I remember reading her story at like 1 in the morning, sitting in the Airbnb thinking, oh my God, that sounds like me, said P., now 16.
There are no simple paths for transgender children, whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. ....
