Cape Porpoise Pier Faces Roughest Assessment in Port
Cape Porpoise Pier is labeled extraordinarily poor by Coffin and Richardson engineer Brian Lynch who says about 85 percent of pilings are useless and the bait shed is barely adequate. The harbor commission heard that a $4,000 nine month survey could plan a revamp or relocation with total reconstruction costs around $200,000 to $400,000. Construction costs could rise 10 percent yearly, affecting funding and timing.

Maine Lobster and Oil Bills Stir Senate Debate
Maine legislators weigh sweeping lobster reforms and oil refinery moratoriums as coastal residents push changes. The lobster plan under Senate leader Berry proposes trap limits, license freezes, higher fees, and a zone management panel to curb fishing to 600, 450, and 300 traps over set periods. The oil bill aims to block refinery development until coastal zoning is in place. More hearings and debate are anticipated as the proposals target a 20 million pound, 14 million-trap fishery with 2,000 full time lobstermen and many part timers along the coast.

Maine moratorium bill blocks new oil permits for 18 months
The bill pauses state agency approval of heavy industrial permits to allow the Maine Supreme Court to rule on the Oil Conveyance Act and coastal zoning challenges. The moratorium lasts up to 18 months or 180 days after zoning regs take effect, whichever is shorter, risking delays to Metropolitan Oil's Eastport refinery plans.

An optimist is a middle age man who thinks the cleaner is shrinking his trousers. The joke plays on hopeful mistaken belief and a light domestic dilemma.
