The Cultural Construction Of The Maine Sporting Camps, March O. Mccubrey
The Cultural Construction Of The Maine Sporting Camps, March O. Mccubrey
Maine History
Maine’s lakes and forests attracted a growing number of urban hunters and anglers after 1880. Attracted in part by the informality and remoteness of the Maine woods, these urban recreationists nevertheless imposed their own sense of order and propriety upon the culture of the sporting camp. Urban “sports “ went “back to nature, ” yet maintained their status - and their social distance - as ladies and gentlemen. ”
A Cage For John Sawyer The Poor Of Otisfield, Maine, Jean F. Hankins
A Cage For John Sawyer The Poor Of Otisfield, Maine, Jean F. Hankins
Maine History
Each year from 1790 to the end of the Civil War the town’s people of Otisfield wrestled with the dilemma of town relief. Examining this issue from two perspectives - the town taxpayers and the town poor - Jean Hankins sheds light on the politics, the finances, the hardships, the family life, and the burdens of responsibility in Maine's nineteenth-century small towns.

Beaver, Blankets, Liquor, And Politics Pemaquid’S Fur Trade, 1614-1760, Neill Depaoli
Maine History
The trading posts at Pemaquid typified the transactions, administrative phases, and cross-cultural contacts that made up the New England fur trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Using archaeological and documentary evidence, Neill DePaoli explores this important yet volatile industry through several stages, including early informal transactions, a merchant entrepreneurial phase, provincial supervision, and illegal exchanges during the closing years of the fort's significance.

Economic Development In Maine: Strategies And Opportunities, Steven Ballard, Stephanie Seguino, Charles S. Colgan
Maine Policy Review
Changes in the national and international economies have forced Maine and other states to reexamine their approaches to economic development. No longer are the traditional approaches useful in the context of a global economy. Maine's present and future economic growth requires that the state respond to the realities of this new economic landscape. In this article, Steven Ballard, Stephanie Seguino and Charles Colgan put forth their thoughts and conclusions on the strategies and opportunities upon which Maine's economic development efforts should focus.
Pricing Issues In Telecommunications, Robert W. Crandall
Pricing Issues In Telecommunications, Robert W. Crandall
Maine Policy Review
Over the last quarter century, significant changes have occurred in telecommunications. The breakup of AT&T and a myriad of technological innovations have sounded the death knell for the theory of telecommunications as a natural monopoly, according to Robert W. Crandall of the Brookings Institute. In the following article, Dr. Crandall assesses a variety of pricing issues that must be addressed by regulators, telecommunications firms and consumers in an increasingly competitive telecommunications market.

Electricity Costs And The Maine Economy: Review And Prospects, Charles S. Colgan
Electricity Costs And The Maine Economy: Review And Prospects, Charles S. Colgan
Maine Policy Review
Rising electricity costs over the past several years have set off alarm bells about the possible effects on economic growth in Maine. Efforts to at least reduce the rate of growth of electricity prices have led to charges and countercharges between the state's largest utility and many of the non-utility generators (NUG's), and resulted in major battles in the recent session of the Maine Legislature. In all of the discussion, however, there has been little information about two key questions: How high are Maine's electricity costs relative to other areas, and how sensitive is the Maine economy to changes in …
Electric Competition And The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Donald F. Santa Jr.
Electric Competition And The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Donald F. Santa Jr.
Maine Policy Review
The pricing of electric power is not only an issue at the state level, it also gathers the attention of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A major pricing issue now facing FERC involves electric transmission. This reflects increased competition in the electric generation business and is of particular concern in the wholesale electricity market, which is regulated by FERC. As FERC Commissioner Donald F. Santa makes clear in this article, access to transmission lines and the price to be paid for that access are extremely important issues to independent power producers. This article is based on Commissioner Santa's keynote speech …

Maine’S Gubernatorial Candidates Present Their Positions On Health Care Reform, Jonathan Carter, Susan Collins, Angus King
Maine Policy Review
Few issues have dominated the public policy agenda in the last decade as health care reform has in 1994. Although health care reform is stalled in Congress at this writing, it is not an issue that will exit the public stage quickly or quietly. Mainefaces many of the problems that have spurred the national health care debate. The state has made some attempts to address these through public policy. But larger health care issues remain unresolved and the next governor will most certainly play a major role in addressing those issues. Maine Policy Review invited the four major candidates seeking …
Defense Downsizing: The Economic Impacts In New England, Yolanda K. Kodrzycki
Defense Downsizing: The Economic Impacts In New England, Yolanda K. Kodrzycki
Maine Policy Review
Yoland R. Kodrzycki reviews the extent of New England’s dependency on defense and various measures of the severity of defense downsizing. The analysis is put in the broader context of the New England economy. Because the economy can provide opportunities or constraints, it is important to understand the general economic environment when designing a defense conversion strategy. This article is excerpted from the author’s remarks at a conference entitled “From Defense to Offense: Converting Maine’s Economy in a Time of Shrinking Military Expenditures,” which took place in Portland on June 13, 1994. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect official …

Fusing Educational Reform Policy And Action: Assuring The Development Of Local Leaders, George F. Marnik, Gordon A. Donaldson Jr.
Fusing Educational Reform Policy And Action: Assuring The Development Of Local Leaders, George F. Marnik, Gordon A. Donaldson Jr.
Maine Policy Review
School change does not happen in a vacuum. It requires initiative and leadership. Because Maine's educational system features a strong local control component, successful educational change requires development of local leadership. George Marnik and Gordon Donaldson report on the Maine Academyfor School Leaders, an educational leadership development project in which they were involved. Among other things, the researchers learned that successful educational change is not likely to result from a one-size-fits-all state policy. Rather, successful reform occurs "one individual at a time, one school at a time."

Health Care Reform: Where Do We Go From Here?, Michael S. Dukakis
Health Care Reform: Where Do We Go From Here?, Michael S. Dukakis
Maine Policy Review
Will universal health insurance ever become a reality? In this, based on his address in October as the 1994 Margaret Chase Smith Lecturer, former Massachusetts Governor Michael S. Dukakis suggests that efforts to establish universal coverage will continue. He argues, however, that the success of these efforts depends on the public adhering to the principle that all citizens will contribute to a system of universal coverage.
