These records and secondary resources reflect the nature and growth of the electric power business in Maine. From small locally owned gas or electric companies furnishing power for businesses, trolleys and, for a few hours a day, street lighting in communities to the transmission of power to residential customers, these resources reflect this evolution. Because the records of 160 predecessor and ancillary companies are represented in this collection, an insight into the growth of CMP is provided through its mergers with and acquisitions of these companies. The electrification of the greater Portland area is documented through representative records of the Casco Bay Light and Power Company, Consolidated Electric Light Company of Maine, Cumberland County Power and Light Company, Deering Electric Light Company, Portland Electric Company, Portland Lighting and Power Company (nee Cumberland Illuminating Company), Westbrook Electric Company, and Westbrook Electric Light & Power Company. Representative records from several railroad companies are present including Androscoggin and Kennebec Railway Company, Biddeford and Saco Railroad Company, Cape Elizabeth Street Railway Company, Cape Shore Railway, Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville Street Railway, Norway and Paris Street Railway Company, Ocean Street Railroad Company, Portland and Cape Elizabeth Railway Company, Portland and Yarmouth Electric Railway Company, Portland Railroad Company (nee Portland and Forest Avenue Railroad Company), Portland, Gray & Lewiston Railway Company, Rockland, Thomaston & Camden Street Railway, Waterville and Fairfield Railway and Light Company, Waterville, Fairfield, and Oakland Street Railway Company, and the Westbrook, Windham, and Naples Railway Company. Central Maine Power Company has been a pioneer in the industry. The first floating power plant ever constructed in the world called the Jacona was built in 1930. The gas turbine installed at the Farmingdale steam plant in 1950 was the first in New England and the second to be utilized in the United States. Safety hard hats were first issued in 1952 by CMP which was one of only a few electric companies that pioneered their use. In 1954 CMP joined 11 other New England electric utilities to form the Yankee Atomic Electric Company, one of the early organizations to Maine Historical Society Coll. 2115 Central Maine Power Archival Collection, 1853-2001 investigate and experiment in atomic sources of power production. In January 1966 Maine Yankee Power Company was formed to build a nuclear power plant in Maine. Historical note During the 1890s small independent hydroelectric plants on Maine riverbanks supplied power to local communities, shops, mills, and manufacturing plants. According to CMP historian Clark T. Irwin, Jr., “Almost 2,000 local electric companies were providing power and light from central generating stations around the United States in 1891. But many thousands of other generators were strictly on-site units, powering only lights or machinery in a single building or mill complex...Dozens of Maine communities had one or more local gas-light or electric companies in the 1890s: Augusta, Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Brunswick, Camden, Gardiner, Hallowell, Portland, Rockland, Saco, Waterville and others.” (p.8) Typical of these plants, the Oakland Electric Light Company, organized on October 14, 1887 and led by president Orestes Crowell, harnessed the waters of the Messalonskee Stream flowing out of Belgrade Lakes at Daniel Lord’s 1850 dam. Its plant consisted of one 22.5-kilovolt electric generator that served about 100 customers by lighting Oakland streets from dusk to 10pm— except on moonlit nights. The generator was belted to a water wheel shaft in a small, leased annex to the Benjamin & Allen Agricultural Works. Walter Scott Wyman and Harvey Doane Eaton were the partners who would purchase this company. Born May 6, 1874 in Oakland (known as West Waterville until 1883), the son of Hiram and Ellen (Augusta Frizzell), Walter S. Wyman had summer jobs during his three years at Tufts that included station operator at the Oakland Electric Light Company. His first job after college was as inspector and assistant superintendent of the Maine Water Company. By 1893 Wyman was manager of the Waterville and Fairfield Railway and Electric Company which started in 1892 as a 4-mile electric railway between Waterville and Fairfield. After unsuccessful attempts to interest this company in furthering the development of a small electric station at Oakland and producing sufficient electricity to meet the needs of nearby Waterville, Wyman decided to pursue these ideas on his own and would enlist the assistance of Eaton. Born September 20, 1862 in North Cornville, Harvey D. Eaton, a Waterville attorney, graduated with a B. A. from Colby College in 1887 and with a Bachelor of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1891. Wyman and Eaton met in the early 1890s. Eaton, convinced of the feasibility of Wyman’s ideas, mortgaged a building he was erecting in Waterville and with the borrowed $4,500 as copartners purchased the Oakland Electric Light Company on November 7, 1899. Their operation of the property began on November 14, 1899 and on December 26, 1899 they reorganized as the Oakland Electric Company with Eaton as president and Wyman as general manager. Eaton was 37 years old, Wyman was 25. In 1901 Wyman left the Waterville and Fairfield Railway and Light Company to devote full time to expanding this new electric company. By this time Wyman and Eaton had abandoned their original station and had strung wires

  • Star Wars: the Fascism Awakens Representation and Its Failure from the Weimar Republic to the Galactic Senate Chapman Rackaway University of West Georgia
    STAR WARS: THE FASCISM AWAKENS 7 Star Wars: The Fascism Awakens Representation and its Failure from the Weimar Republic to the Galactic Senate Chapman Rackaway University of West Georgia Whether in science fiction or the establishment of an earthly democracy, constitutional design matters especially in the realm of representation. Democracies, no matter how strong or fragile, can fail under the influence of a poorly constructed representation plan. Two strong examples of representational failure emerge from the post-WWI Weimar Republic and the Galactic Republic’s Senate from the Star Wars saga. Both legislatures featured a combination of overbroad representation without minimum thresholds for minor parties to be elected to the legislature and multiple non- citizen constituencies represented in the body. As a result both the Weimar Reichstag and the Galactic Senate fell prey to a power-hungry manipulating zealot who used the divisions within their legislature to accumulate power. As a result, both democracies failed and became tyrannical governments under despotic leaders who eventually would be removed but only after wars of massive casualties. Representation matters, and both the Weimer legislature and Galactic Senate show the problems in designing democratic governments to fairly represent diverse populations while simultaneously limiting the ability of fringe groups to emerge. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of representative democracies. A poor evil is for good men to do nothing.” constitutional design can even lead to tyranny. – Edmund Burke (1848) Among the flaws most potentially damaging to a republic is a faulty representational “So this is how liberty dies … with structure. Republics can actually build too thunderous applause.” - Padme Amidala (Star much representation into their structures, the Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, 2005) result of which is tyranny as a byproduct of democratic failure.

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay.

This is located in the lower Penobscot River in Searsport, Waldo County, Maine. As of the 1970s, several large industrial development schemes were proposed for Sears Island. Since the 1990s the island has belonged to the state of Maine. A paved causeway constructed in the 1980s provides year-round access to a gate at the north end of the island. In January 2009 the Friends of Sears Island (FOSI), a nonprofit organization, assumed responsibility for stewardship of the conservation area and this inventory is part of the management planning process. A 70- acre portion of the conservation area includes a vernal pool and a potential building site intended for a future education/ visitor center. The remaining acreage is former farm fields, mature and successional forest, wet forest, streams, and tidal shore. An archaeological site at the north end of the island was documented with an extensive report in 1983. Historic land uses included agriculture and seasonal residences, but no structures remain.
