Darling Marine Center, School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, Walpole, ME 04573, USA Received 3 November 1998; received in revised form 30 April 1999; accepted 5 May 1999 Abstract Three decapod species in the Gulf of Maine (American lobster Homarus americanus Milne Edwards, 1837, rock crab Cancer irroratus Say, 1817, and Jonah crab Cancer borealis Stimpson, 1859) were investigated to determine how their patterns of settlement and post-settlement abundance varied at different spatial and temporal scales. Spatial scales ranged from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Abundances of newly settled and older (sum of several cohorts) individuals were measured at different substrata, depths, sites within and among widely spaced regions, and along estuarine gradients. Temporal scales ranged from weekly censuses of new settlers within a season to inter-annual comparisons of settlement strengths. Over the scales considered here, only lobsters and rock crabs were consistently abundant in their early post- settlement stages. Compared to rock crabs, lobsters settled at lower densities but in speci®c habitats and over a narrower range of conditions. The abundance and distribution of older individuals of both species were, however, similar at all scales. This is consistent with previous observations that, by virtue of high fecundity, rock crabs have high rates of settlement, but do not discriminate among habitats, and suffer high levels of post-settlement mortality relative to lobsters.

  • James Dufresne: They Met at Appomattox Court House
    November 2017 Vol XXXIII, No 3 Thurs Nov 9 James Dufresne: They Met at Appomattox Court House “From present indications, the retreat of the enemy is rapidly becoming a rout.” So wrote Philip H. Sheridan to Lt Gen Ulysses S. Grant on April 5, 1865, from Jetersville Depot, Virginia, three days after Lee’s army had abandoned the trenches of the fallen cities of Richmond and Petersburg and begun its flight west. From the start, Grant’s goal was not merely to pursue Lee’s army but to intercept it: to cut it off and prevent Lee from veering south and joining the Confederate army of Joseph Johnston in North Carolina. Grant wanted to bring this war to a conclusion, so he ordered his two top generals, Sheridan and Sherman, to keep Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia constantly on the move. Lee’s army was in dire straits with very little food and ammunition remaining. Lee had planned to resupply his army at various points along his march west; however, he had little to no success. Grant had sent Sheridan and his command ahead with orders to destroy any supplies or ammunition that Lee might be able to acquire on his route west. He was also to intercept Lee’s army on its route wherever the time and place would allow. Sheridan did get the opportunity to stop Lee and his army at a place called Appomattox Court House. Gen Grant had been corresponding with Gen Lee for a couple of days previously while both were on the march.

THE BATTLE OF HAMPDEN AND ITS AFTERMATH BY ROBERT FRASER The successful British attack on the Penobscot Valley in fall 1814 was to annex eastern Maine to Canada, a move taken to protect the important line of communications between Halifax and Quebec. New England merchants had opposed the War of 1812, as it destroyed their interna- tional trade, and most New Englanders tried to remain neutral during the fray. At Hampden, enemy threats brought them out to defend their homes. Although Great Britain returned the area to the United States at war’s end, the occupation of the Penobscot Valley had lasting implica- tions for the District of Maine. Between 1954 and 1984 Robert Fraser was assistant curator at the Cohasset Historical Society and a consultant to other historical societies. He writes historical articles for local newspa- pers and national magazines, and has published two books on light- houses and another on local history.

    SOUTHERN MAINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2017-2018 SMCC FACTBOOK Published August 2018 pg. 48 SMCC FACTBOOK History of SMCC A Brief History of SMCC Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) has grown and evolved over the years. Our mission today is to transform lives and communities through education and training, and welcome, prepare and inspire all to learn, succeed and lead. Our role is as vital today as it was in 1946, when the College first opened under the name Maine Vocational Technical Institute (MVTI), a day school in Augusta created to serve returning World War II veterans who needed to learn new skills in a post-war economy. By 1952 MVTI and its 156 students had outgrown their space in Augusta and moved to the site of decommissioned Fort Preble, overlooking beautiful Casco Bay in South Portland. During the 1960s the name was changed to Southern Maine Vocational Technical Institute (SMVTI) and authorization was received to award Associate in Applied Science degrees. In the late 1980s, the Maine Legislature changed the name of the state’s Vocational Technical Institute System to the Maine Technical College System, and SMVTI became Southern Maine Technical College (SMTC). Almost a decade later, in 1998, the College added an Associate in Arts degree in liberal studies to its offerings, a significant step in its evolution to a comprehensive community college. In 2003 that transformation was complete. Gov. John Baldacci introduced legislation establishing the Maine Community College System – a move that enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the 121st Maine Legislature. The College name was changed once more, this time to Southern Maine Community College.

Size: 6.5 linear ft. + 1 oversized folder Administrative Note: The Casco Bay Island Development Association (CBIDA) was originally organized on Peaks Island in 1959 as the Island Development Association for purposes including island beautification and development, social welfare, education, and collective representation of island interests, among others. The organization soon expanded to include representatives from all of the Casco Bay islands including Peaks Island, Long Island, Cliff Island, Chebeague Island, Cushing Island, Great Diamond Island and Little Diamond Island, and was renamed accordingly. Early efforts included island clean ups, prioritization of island issues, promotion of island development, and improvement of ferry piers and service. Shortly thereafter, the CBIDA floated a bond issue in support of the purchase of former government land on Peaks Island from Peter Cioffi. Over time, that project led to the development of the Back Shore and infrastructure improvements on Peaks Island, as well as set asides for public land there. Other notable projects include leading the effort to create the Casco Bay Island Transit District to ensure more efficient and reliable ferry service; influencing the development of island zoning standards adopted by the City of Portland; achieving limits to the development of Diamond Cove at the former Fort McKinley; participation in various coalitions to preserve the Portland working waterfront and water quality in Casco Bay; regular publication of Casco Bay newsletter and boating brochure.
