    News The Bethel Journals People History Bethel Maine History Places Bethel Maine History Events April 17, 2011 1964 News Annual Review The Bethel Citizen, John K. Brown Editor 1964 was a very active year. Gould Academy‟s June announcement signaled major changes to come in Bethel area schools. Sue Farrar‟s first Living Nativity Scene pageant began a lasting holiday tradition. Bethel Chamber of Commerce became the “Greater Bethel” chamber. Funding for Grafton Notch State Park approved. Margaret Tibbetts was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Norway. Pollution of Androscoggin River must be stopped. Dutch Elm Disease advanced. A new Evans Notch Ranger Station was built. New businesses opened at Harvey‟s Drive-In, Western Maine Supply, The Red Lantern, Sunday River Inn in Newry and at a new much larger home for Bryant‟s IGA Store January 2 The last week of the year has brought a larger number of people to the town office and a greater number of comments and ideas than any other week of the year. Of course, everyone of nearly everyone feels that taxes are too high. The other most mentioned subject was the sewage abatement program that the town must begin in the next couple of years. Michael Houlihan, Town Manager There is a new “Mixing Bowl” novice ski area at Sunday River Skiway. It is reported as Maine‟s longest novice ski lift. The vertical rise is 400 feet over the half-mile length; the run features wide gently rolling slopes.

  • In the Heat of the Battle Over Sequestration Last Year, Industry
    The Case for BRAC: Military Base Closures and the Effects on Local Communities By Christopher Preble* Vice President for Defense and Foreign Policy Studies The Cato Institute [email protected] Abstract Community leaders and politicians often worry that the closure of military facilities will do irreparable harm to local economies. Empirical data shows that most areas recover lost jobs within a matter of time, but case studies paint a richer picture than statistics. This paper explores three distinct cases from the United States -- Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine; The Presidio in San Francisco, California; and Dow Air Force Base in Bangor, Maine -- to show how different communities have adapted to military base closures. The timing for redevelopment and reuse varies widely, and not every property has succeeded. The paper includes some observations about how and why each place adapted or failed to do so, and offers policy recommendations for those confronting additional defense industry consolidations driven by competing fiscal pressures and the rapidly changing security environment. * The author wishes to thank Jack Hipkins and Connor Ryan for their invaluable assistance with this paper. The usual caveats apply. Introduction In March 2016, the Department of Defense completed a thoroughgoing review of its existing infrastructure, and its needs going forward. The Pentagon concluded that the military will have 22 percent excess capacity as of 2019. These projections are not based primarily on expectations of a much smaller force. Even if Congress or the Trump administration succeeds in slowing or reversing proposed personnel cuts, the Pentagon will still be saddled with considerably more property than it needs well into the 2020s.
