Cycle of climate change
Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
Bates College students work to create the number 350 with their bicycles prior to the start of a bike parade in Lewiston on Saturday. Organized by the Bates Energy Action Movement, the parade was designed to raise awareness for climate change and coincided with the International Day of Climate Action. Scientists say 350 parts per million is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. According to the Web site 350.org, the current atmospheric concentration of C02 is 387 ppm. Clockwise from lower left are Teresa Cooper, Maayan Cohen, Nathalie Woolworth, Emily Grady, Mark Stehlik, Zach Jylkka and Kyle Hagenbuch. The number 350 was created in various ways all over the world on Saturday.

Fractured Legislature.
It is clear to me that the only thing fractured in Agusta is the State Legislature.They have been working without supervision long enough to put the State deeply in the Red.It will take some strong supervision and fiscal disipline from LePage to de-fragment what the Liberals have done to the Fiscal House.

Once again
The Rumford Board of Selectmen prove themselves to be idiots. Free work, free upkeep, and free cosmetic improvements in an area that desperately needs it shot down because the majority can't get their heads out of their posteriors.
GOOD JOB!!! Sorry, Mr. Blampied, that you have to live in a place like this.

Public access from Sewall Street.?
What about allowing public access to the topside of the pile from Sewall St. and having the bottom part off limits to the public? Wouldn't take much more than putting the posts and cables back up so no one can drive on the pile and dump a bucket or two of sand up there once in a while.
