Maine Historical Society Coll. 2724 Casco Bay Island Development Association Records 1958-2020 Accession #: 2013.271, 2015.003, 2019.231, 2019.311 Processed: February 2014-September 2014 by Lucinda Gannon, MHS Volunteer, with later additions added in Winter 2015 and Winter 2020 by Nancy Noble, MHS Archivist Access: Unrestricted Copyright: Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the MHS Images Services Coordinator. 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. In 2017 the name of the organization was changed from Casco Bay Island Development Association (CBIDA) to Casco Bay Islands Alliance (CBIA), to better reflect the current mission. CBIA currently provides grants to various island and Casco Bay organizations, as well as provides community and awareness of island and bay issues. Scope and Content note: This collection includes minutes and records of the organization, correspondence, press clippings, newsletters (including “Nor’ by East”), and some legal files pertaining to real estate transactions on Peaks Island and litigation pertaining to the development of Diamond Cove. The collection may be added to from time to time as the association is still in existence.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.

Telehealth is ok for routine monitoring of conditions and can cut down on number of mainland visits but isn’t a replacement for emergency medicine. Technology can be cumbersome and less efficient especially for private practice or if end users don’t have comfort with technology. Biggest challenge for smallest islands, telemedicine is not always useful because mainland providers aren't always on board and generally, going to the mainland just feels more productive if a person is able to get on the boat. Generally, people need and want a face to face with a medical provider.
