Harbert One night last April Michael Metevier got off work at midnight and headed over to Raoul's to hear some blues. An hour later he was cruising home, feeling good. His tune changed when he got home. His door was smashed open. The lock lay useless on the floor. The lights were -. glaring. "It was quite a bunch of mixed emotions - shock and being violated. I was kind of in a daze," says Metevier of finding his home burglarized. He didn't sleep well that night. He kept thinking that someone he didn't know had been in his home - and had stolen his telephone, answering machine, flashlight, calculator, candy dish, towel!! and electric shaver. You probably heard every gory detail of the four murders in the Portland area last year. But you probably didn't hear about Metevier geHing ripped off. Nor did you hear about the 2,437 thefts from residences, businesses and other assorted places and the 2,564 thefts from motor vehicles in 1988. Of the 329 U.S. metropolitan areas rated by Places Rated Almanac, Portland ranks 122nd in the crime category. But looking only at the property crime num­ bers, Portland has a higher rate of inci­ dence per 100,000 people (5285) than Chicago (4729) and Newark N.J. (4845). , And Portland isn't too far behind Boston (5351). Portland ranks safer overall than those cities because Portland's incidence of violent crimes is much lower. So while you're more likely to get stabbed in Newark, you're more likely to lose your car stereo in Portland. Michael Metevler peers from his now well-ICKked apartment.

    Greater Portland Landmarks’ Walk Around the Block The Eastern Promenade Takes Shape: Turn-of-the-Century Development of Munjoy Hill April 9, 2018 Munjoy Hill Munjoy Hill rises 161 feet above Casco Bay on the eastern end of the Portland peninsula. The Hill’s namesake George Munjoy (c1626-1680) settled near present day Mountfort and Fore Streets in 1659. He fled Portland after an Indian attack in 1676 and never returned. Munjoy Hill was one of the last neighborhoods on the peninsula to be developed because its primary functions from the city’s founding in the 1630s until the 1840s were as an occasion- al gathering place and a pasture for cows. The Great Fire of July 4th and 5th, 1866 spread from Commercial Street to North Street. It destroyed 1,500 buildings and left over 10,000 people homeless. Following the Great Fire, the city’s need for housing drove development on Munjoy Hill. This development was large- ly middle-class homes, with a few high style residences in the Italianate and Second Empire Style. A few years earlier in 1863 the city’s horse drawn street car line had reached Munjoy Hill helping to make the hillside areas attractive for development after the fire. By the 1880s, Munjoy, Atlantic and St. Lawrence Streets were largely built out. These long streets extended between Fore to Congress. The Portland Railroad Co.’s street car line expanded its route on the hill from Congress Street, down Morning Street to the Eastern Prom. It then wended its way back to Congress Street along Beckett, Wilson, and Atlantic Streets.

Sediments taken from various locations throughout the Bay, and especially in Portland Harbor, held a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals. Until we know more about how these heavy metals, pesticides and other compounds affect marine life, it’s hard to know what lasting impact the pollution in Casco Bay may have. But it was decided that the more we know about where those pollutants came from, the better chances we will have in preventing future problems. The Casco Bay Estuary Project (now Casco Bay Early industry was limited by natural energy sources, like this tidal mill at Estuary Partnership) commissioned environmental Stroudwater.

Her love of history, strong writing skills and, by nature, being a champion for details and accuracy were much appreciated. We also would like to give a “tip of the hat” to some of the nonprofits that are integral to the preservation of the Munjoy Hill neighborhood: Maine Historical Society, Greater Portland Landmarks, St. Lawrence Arts and Friends of Eastern Promenade. They also contribute to the day-to- day quality of life that is created via their programming, exhibits, and the commitment of their staff, volunteers and boards.

A new town was organized in 1718 named “Falmouth,” consisting of the peninsula of Falmouth Neck and considerable neighboring property. In 1775, British warships destroyed nearly three-quarters of the town. Falmouth Neck separated from Falmouth and was renamed “Portland” in 1786. 2 1845 Source: Collections of Maine Historical Society By 1807, Portland was Maine’s most important shipping and trading port and the sixth largest commercial port in the nation.

  • 2001 Annual Report Maine Coast Heritage Trust Works

    2001 Annual Report Maine Coast Heritage Trust works to conserve coastal and other lands that define Maine’s distinct landscape, protect its environment, sustain its outdoor traditions and promote the well-being of its people. Since 1970, MCHT has helped to protect permanently more than 111,000 acres including valuable wildlife habitat, farm and forest land and 275 entire coastal islands. MCHT provides conservation services to landowners, local land trusts, government agencies and communities throughout Maine. As a membership organization, MCHT is supported by individuals committed to protecting Maine’s natural beauty and resources. The Trust invites your support and involvement. On the cover: Tinker Island, Blue Hill © Sara Gray 2001 Annual Report CHRIS HAMILTON North Haven PRESIDENT’S AND CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE In August 2001, we announced our Campaign for the Coast – a $100 million campaign that seeks to preserve the best of Maine’s coast for generations to come. Recognizing the threats posed by increasing development, we committed to accelerating our work to conserve coastal islands and archipelagos, prominent hills and meadows, shore access, community open space and intact landscape features. Campaign Chairman Richard Rockefeller inspired us to launch this ambitious effort and has stood at the helm ever since. He leads by example – guiding us with keen perception, good humor and unflagging energy. The Campaign’s success to date is due – in no small part – to his integral involvement. Already the Campaign for the Coast has expanded the horizon of land conservation in Maine, enabling protection of lands that could never before have been preserved. Among the 36 projects completed in 2001 are some of the most innovative and complex ones in MCHT’s history.
