Gov Baxter Day - Mayor Baxter Woods
Governor Baxter's Wilderness Legacy's Golden Anniversary Celebration. August 22, 2012. Portland, Maine.
Jeff Tarling, Portland Parks & Forestry Manager, and Baster State Park Director Jensen Bissell Dedicate Mayor Baxter Woods sign, with Walk the woods with Jeff Tarling. Herb Adams and Jeff give a history of the Baxter Woods.
Baxter Family members Scott Baxter, Griffin Baxter and Connie Baxter Marlow unveil the sign.
On August 6, 1962, former Governor Percival P. Baxter acquired the twenty-eighth and final parcel of land that would constitute, at the time of his death in l969, the 201,018-acre Baxter State Park. Up until 1962, his overtures to Great North- ern Paper Company for this 7,764-acre parcel in T2 R9 had been unsuccessful. This acquisition represented the fulfillment of an unstated goal of gifting to the State of Maine a wilderness park in excess of 200,000 acres. It also made possible the construction of three miles of new road linking Abol Campground with the newly constructed southern gatehouse at Upper and Lower Togue Ponds.
Since the Maine Legislature was not in session, Governor John H. Reed and the Executive Council accepted the deeded gift on September 5, 1962. In January 1963, legislative concurrence was se- cured, thereby ratifying and completing the formal record. Consequently, the core documents detailing the particulars of the gifting of this parcel, including the Deed of Trust, appear in the Private and Special Laws of 1963.
On the occasion of this gift, Baxter wrote to Governor John H. Reed: ... in my for- mal letter to Governor Gardiner in 1931, when my first gift was about 6,000 acres, I said, 'I expect some day to see my ambi- tion realized.' (Laws of Maine 1931). This brings to an end an interesting incident in Maine history.
With the donation of a 143-acre parcel at Katahdin Lake by Huber Resources LLC in January 2012, Baxter State Park now con- sists of 209,644 deeded acres. Previous additions at Togue Pond in 1992, along the West Branch Penobscot River in 1997, and at Katahdin Lake in 2006 account for the remaining acreage added since Governor Baxter's death. We celebrate the 50th anniversary of Governor Baxter's final gift of land for his beloved Baxter State Park on August 22, 2012, in Portland.
Friends of Baxter State Park is pleased to partner with Maine Historical Society, as well as Governor Baxter School for the Deaf, Baxter Family Mansion and Museum, Department of Conservation, Friends of Evergreen Cemetery, City of Portland Parks and Forestry Department, Baxter State Park, Portland Museum of Art, and Friends of the Eastern Promenade to cel- ebrate the 50th anniversary of Percival P. Baxter's final gift of land for his beloved Baxter State Park.

HEADLINE: Lawmakers question Army on Arlington Cemetery
CAPTION: Angry lawmakers on Wednesday sharply questioned the Army on its confusion over the location of some veterans' remains at Arlington National Cemetery. AP's Sagar Meghani reports. (June 30)
SOT: Cong. Ike Skelton, D-Mo. 10:33:45
I'm angry, period.

A House panel has given the Army an earful over a scandal at Arlington National Cemetery
(medium of stones 16:45:05 VA ARLINGTON BROLL)
after more than 200 sets of remains were potentially mislabeled or misplaced
SOT: Cong. Ike Skelton, D-Mo. 10:34:15
How in the world could this tragedy be allowed to happen?
(bird on stone -it's kinda shaky and quick, so if it doesn't work, just pick another please 16:45:14)
The military says it has sorted out more than two dozen of the discrepencies..and shaken up Arlington's management.
SOT: Army Secretary John McHugh 10:47:23
The Army is doing and will continue to do all that is necessary and possible to right these unimaginable, unacceptable wrongs.
(the following all from VA ARLINGTON BROLL)
(NAT UP i'm calling from Arlington National Cemetery 16:35:10
in a room under the Arlington visitors center......
(wide of 2 interns on phones 16:36:08
interns on loan from the Pentagon have been manning the phones
(girl taking notes 16:34:12)
they've taken nearly 900 calls over the past month from concerned relatives
(medium of stones 16:43:28)
wondering WHICH graves were mishandled
(tight folders 16:36:50)
The Army says 169 of those calls have been resolved.....
(NAT UP Yes, that's why it's taking so long sir 16:38:20)
and it's calling EVERYONE back to report progress on the others
(angled shot of stones 16:45:44)
part of the issue is many of Arlington's records aren't digitized...they're still on paper
(tight of stone 16:47:20)
the Army's looking to modernize the whole setup before checking for any OTHER issues
SOT: Army Secretary John McHugh DC HOUSE ARMED SERVICES 10:52:30
As soon as the IT problems are solved, we will begin the process of checking and cross-checking all of those records for each of the 330k graves.
(the best remaining headstones shots)

Beginning in the late 1970s, a sinister presence cast a shadow over an isolated part of central Oregon. It lurked in the background, ignored or unnoticed. Women, often vulnerable or marginalized, were disappearing.
These are the stories of the ghosts of Highway 20.

Prairie Warbler Portrait
This male's portrait was obtained near Kirkfall, Ontario along a large hydro line just before a torrential downpour. It was indeed a memorable outing. You can hear the crickets and finally the rain and thunder in the last clip before the skies opened. This warbler had more sense than I did. As soon as he took off for cover and disappeared the skies opened and I was totally soaked.
The Prairie Warbler is common in eastern United States; casual to southern Ontario. It can be found in open deciduous saplings, wood margins, overgrown fields, along hydro lines and mangrove swamps. Usually in lower branches and brush.
Olive upperparts. Chestnut streaks on back may be visible. Bright yellow eyebrow stripe. Yellow patch below eye. Bright yellow underparts. Black streaked sides. Two pale wing bars. It has a tail-wagging habit when it's not singing.
Its song is a thin zee zee zee zee ze.

SUMMARY
=======
Portland is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maine, with a population of 67,067 as of 2017. The Greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, more than one-third of Maine's total population, making it the most populous metro in northern New England (an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont). Portland is Maine's economic center, with an economy that relies on the service sector and tourism. The Old Port district is a popular destination known for its 19th century architecture and nightlife. Marine industry still plays an important role in the city's economy, with an active waterfront that supports fishing and commercial shipping. The Port of Portland is the largest tonnage seaport in New England. The city has also seen growth in the technology sector, with companies such as WEX building headquarters in the city. The city seal depicts a phoenix rising from ashes, which is a reference to the recoveries from four devastating fires. Portland was named after the English Isle of Portland, Dorset. The city of Portland, Oregon was named after Portland, Maine.
'Finding History in Our Own Back Yard' - 3/4/2008
Western Washington University Professor Chris Friday will present Finding History in Our Own Backyard: Georgia Pacific, Your House, Your Neighborhood and Public History at WWU from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, at the Bellingham City Council chambers, Bellingham City Hall, 210 Lottie St.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is offered as the second event of the annual WWU College of Humanities and Social Sciences Dean's Lecture Series.
Writer Maxing Hong Kingston once noted that America and especially the American West was a place devoid of history because it was a land without ghosts. As true as that may have been from her Chinese American perspective growing up in the 1950s, Kingston missed an opportunity to understand that the landscape around us is filled with many ghostscapes - the layered meanings and perspectives we create about places across cultures and times. What happens when we consider our own local, familiar landscape in historical perspective? What happens when we disagree on the meaning of familiar places, especially because we see them through lenses we create out of our own peculiar understandings of history and place? How do Western students, the University, and the community benefit from thinking about the local landscape historically?
This lecture will attempt to answer these questions. Friday will also present the Georgia Pacific/Waterfront Oral History project and the current Bellingham Historic Neighborhood project that connect WWU students with the local community in the exploration of history outside the classroom.
Chris Friday is a professor of History at Western Washington University. Friday grew up near Mount St. Helens, got his bachelor's degree at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, then received his master's degree and doctorate in American History from UCLA. He lived in China for nearly two years in the early 1980s and taught in the Boston area prior to coming to WWU in 1992. At WWU, Friday's teaching and research/publication areas are Pacific Northwest History, American Indian History, and Asian American History. For most of the last decade, Friday has also been director of the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies at Western Washington University (an archives and small research institute). Most recently, Friday started a Public History minor at WWU, which is designed to help students see the connections between their interest in history as an academic subject and history as a discipline practiced in settings well beyond teaching in any classroom.
The purpose of the Dean's Community Lecture Series is to foster connections between the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the local community. What better way to make such connections than learning about our city from our own historians, such as Chris Friday, said Ron Kleinknecht, CHSS dean.
Friday's presentation will also be taped and rebroadcast on Bellingham BTV 10.

SUMMARY
=======
William Orville Douglas (October 16, 1898 – January 19, 1980) was an American jurist and politician who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Douglas was confirmed at the age of 40, one of the youngest justices appointed to the court. His term, lasting 36 years and 211 days (1939–75), is the longest in the history of the Supreme Court. In 1975 Time magazine called Douglas the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court.After an itinerant childhood, Douglas attended Whitman College on a scholarship. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1925 and joined the Yale Law School faculty. After serving as the third chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Douglas was successfully nominated to the Supreme Court, succeeding Justice Louis Brandeis. He was among those seriously considered for the 1944 Democratic vice presidential nomination and was subject to an unsuccessful draft movement prior to the 1948 presidential election. Douglas served on the Court until his retirement in 1975, and was succeeded by John Paul Stevens. Douglas holds a number of records as a Supreme Court Justice, including the most opinions.
Douglas wrote the Court's majority opinion in major cases such as Griswold v. Connecticut, United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., Brady v. Maryland, and Terminiello v. City of Chicago. He wrote notable concurring or dissenting opinions in cases such as Dennis v. United States, Brandenburg v. Ohio, and Terry v. Ohio. He was also known as a strong opponent of the Vietnam War and an ardent advocate of environmentalism.
