  • City of Biddeford, Maine Open Space Plan
    City of Biddeford, Maine Open Space Plan Biddeford Pool Marshes & Wildlife Habitat Prepared by the City of Biddeford Open Space Committee November 2012 PREFACE When I was first asked to be on the Biddeford Open Space ad-hoc Committee by Marcel Polak of the Maine Association of Conservation Commissions on behalf of then, Mayor Joanne Twomey, I ĞŶƚŚƵƐŝĂƐƚŝĐĂůůLJƐĂŝĚ͞LJĞƐ͘͟ I was reasonably excited but cautiously optimistic. I have a very strong passion for land conservation and my knowledge of the subject is constantly evolving. After the introductions and brief conversations in our first meeting back in January 2009, the topic of the need for a chairperson came up. I now ƌĞĐĂůůĞǀĞƌLJďŽĚLJ͛ƐĞLJĞƐƚƵƌŶŝŶŐƚŽǁĂƌĚŵĞĂŶĚĂƐƚŚĞLJƐĂLJ͞ŝƚŝƐĂůů ŚŝƐƚŽƌLJ͘͟ I graciously accepted and the reality of taking charge of organization, delegation, research, setting meetings and pushing for a draft of the Open Space Plan took hold. Now, close to three years later, and countless number of meetings, walks, and drafts, we have an Open Space Plan for the citizens of Biddeford. As you read through this document, it is fluid and can be modified, added and changed. The data will need to be updated as time goes by. Parcels will be sold, merged, conserved, developed or remain the same. Land is static. dŚŝƐƌĞƉŽƌƚŝƐŐŽŝŶŐƚŽďĞĞůĞĐƚƌŽŶŝĐĂůůLJƌĞƉƌŽĚƵĐĞĚŽŶŝƚLJŽĨŝĚĚĞĨŽƌĚ͛ƐǁĞďƐŝƚĞ where changes can be made. We have had public input and we are looking for more feedback. Biddeford is on the move and adapting to the constant demand of undeveloped space on untapped resources. dŚŝƐŝƐŶŽƚĂƌĞƉŽƌƚŽŶ͞ƐƚŽƉĂůůŐƌŽǁƚŚĂŶĚŬĞĞƉĂůůŐƌĞĞŶ͘͟ It is an inventory, a resource item, and a foundation guide for future land conservation and planning efforts. It is also an outreach to landowners to offer them options on their choice of land use.

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.

  • Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875)
    Principal Fortifications of the United States (1870–1875) uring the late 18th century and through much of the 19th century, army forts were constructed throughout the United States to defend the growing nation from a variety of threats, both perceived and real. Seventeen of these sites are depicted in a collection painted especially for Dthe U.S. Capitol by Seth Eastman. Born in 1808 in Brunswick, Maine, Eastman found expression for his artistic skills in a military career. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where offi­ cers-in-training were taught basic drawing and drafting techniques, Eastman was posted to forts in Wisconsin and Minnesota before returning to West Point as assistant teacher of drawing. Eastman also established himself as an accomplished landscape painter, and between 1836 and 1840, 17 of his oils were exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City. His election as an honorary member of the academy in 1838 further enhanced his status as an artist. Transferred to posts in Florida, Minnesota, and Texas in the 1840s, Eastman became interested in the Native Americans of these regions and made numerous sketches of the people and their customs. This experience prepared him for his next five years in Washington, D.C., where he was assigned to the commissioner of Indian Affairs and illus­ trated Henry Rowe Schoolcraft’s important six-volume Historical and Statistical Information Respecting the History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States. During this time Eastman also assisted Captain Montgomery C. Meigs, superintendent of the Capitol Brevet Brigadier General Seth Eastman.

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.

The height of its popularity coincided directly with the coming of summer tourism to the islands of Maine’s Casco Bay. Especially during a period from the Harpswell Steamboat Company’s founding in to America’s entry into World War I in , thousands of tourists poured onto tiny Orr’s Island each summer hoping to meet favorite characters from Pearl and visit their homes as well as the novel’s outdoor locations. Islanders responded by creating a literal cottage industry, turn- ing their houses into the homes of the Pearl, Captain Kittridge, or Aunt Roxy, charging admission to caves and coves, and even doing some role-playing. Feuds broke out among islanders over the authenticity of these lucrative competing concessions, and the Pearl phenomenon was so pronounced that it even created a rush for summer real estate. In , Minneapolis journalist Frank R. Stockton wrote: “After Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe published her ‘The Pearl of Orr’s Island,’ that neglected piece of insular realty came into the market and for some time the rush to get eligible tracts and lots bore some resemblance to Editions and formats, “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” OCLC WorldCat, https://www .worldcat.org (accessed November , ).
