BLACK FLY PROBLEM/SHORELAND ZONING TO HIGHLIGHT MMA MEETING

Black Flies and Shoreland Zoning will be the major topic of dls1..ussion at the next Area 10 MMA Legislative Polley Committee meeting to be held on Thursday, May 19, 7:00 p. m. at the Milo Town Hall.

Talbot Averill, Executive Director of the Penobscot Valley Regional Planning · Commission, will address the gathering on new rules and regulations concerning Shoreland Zoning. Aver­ill is expected to answer any questions that may arise on what types of land use are allowed for the various district classi­fications under Shoreland Zoning.

The worsening problem of black flies in the area will also be discussed at the meeting. Lincoln Town Manager Maxwell Buck and Town Councilman Mark Mueller will bring the gath­ering up to date on the latest efforts to curtail the black fly problem. Most of the towns in MMA 's Area 10 are located in the Penobscot Watershed, which has been the scene of heavy . black fly infestation over the past several years. The Lincoln officials are also expected to inform the meeting on the pro­gress of legislation designed to fund research on the develop-

liliifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.i"iii'iiii-i.iiiiii" ment of an environmentally safe agent to control black fly infestations. MOLLY MOLASSES

.DAY CAMP

Wrecking crews were hard at work Monday cleaning up the second of two derailments In the area within a week. A few days ago a couple of cars left the Iron near the old Milo railroad

- station. This second occurance in which several cars were deralled occured near the Derby '-._,. station. Following last year's record. this is not a very auspic"ious start on the 1977 record.

No reason for the wrecks was available at presstime. Perhaps more attention to track and roadbed and. more agents or operators along the route to watch for hotboxes would alleviate the situation. (Photos by Claude Trask)

Report from Augus·ta

REJ>RESJ::NTATIVE

JOHN E. MASTERM AN

BANGOR MENTAL HEALTH INSTITUTE Governor Longley and his Comroissloner of Mental Health

and Corrections, George Zitnay, made theirlong-awaitedmove th.is week to phase down Bangor Mental Health Institute (BMHI) and transfer staff and patients to Augusta Mental Health In­stitute (AMIT!). The occaslon was a two day public hearing before the Health & Institutional Services Committee on a de­partment bill to move 208 BMHI employees and 220 patients to AMHI; the $3 million savings anticipated by the department over a five-year period would in large part be funneled to regional mental health centers .

The Bangor delegation to the Legislature is extremely concerned about the possibility of a phase-out. Their concern stems not only from worry about the econom le impact on Ban­gor of losinir, 208 jobs , but from cons ideration of the need for a first class mental health facility to serve northern Malne. The Bangor medical community sent a delegation to express their desire to see the present level of service continued at BMHI.

Skepticism was voiced by several persons attending the hearing as t.o whether a "deinstitutionalization" program and accompanying expansion of regional mental health centers .could deal with the problems facing residents of this part of Maine. Deinstitutionalization has not been easy to implement in some states which have moved in that direction.

P roponents of the bill contended that 13MHI is not cost­effecti ve, with a decreasing patient population and vastly in­creasing costs . Several supporters of the regional concept argued that a review of "objective" evidence showed no need for two large state mental institutions, and that the regional approach was a national trend.

In dollars and cents terms, the phase- down would reduce BMHl's budget over five years from $5 . 7 m illion to $2. 9 mill­ion by 1982; in human terms, the patient population would de­cline from 340 to about 120, and its staff would drop from 380 to 172. AMHI on the other hand, would during the same five year period, increase its budget from $8. 3 mlllion to $12. 8 million, and increase its staff by 208 people . Regional centers would see their annual funding go from $350, 000 to $2. 6 mill­ion by 1982. PRESIDENTIAL PR™ARY

MAlNE MILK COMMISSION A public hearing was held by the Agrlculture Committee

on a plan by four Democrat lawmakers to permlt cities :>"d towns to hold local referendums on withdrawal from the 1 Commission's wholesale and retall price setting authorY. Thls blll reopens the annual debate about the Maine Mllk Com­mission. Urbari legislators ar gue that removal of price con­trols increases ·competition and results in lower prices for consumers. Representatlves from more rural areas, with dairymen as constituents, contend that the demlse of the Milk Commission would mean a temporary drop in price, wlth no real lasting benefit once local farmers and dairies succumbed to out-of- state competitors who jacked up prices once t he mar ­ket was cornered. Many leglslators feel that the exlsting Mllk Commission structure was extensively debated and modified last session, and deserves a chance to operate fo r awhlle; an 11 to 2 committee votE1 against the bill ls expected. AEROSOL BILL

A bill banning the sale after Jan. 1, 1979 of aerosol cans with fluorocarbon propellents was passed Wednesday by the Maine Senate and sent to Governor Longley. The bill, spon­sored by Rep. Thomas Perkins, R-Blue Hill, would eliminate almost all sprays using fluorocarbons as propellants, with the exception being for fluorocarbons used to clean electronic connections.

Maine legislators offered their concerns about the earth's ozone umbrella, which filters cancer- causing radiation from the sun. Fluorocarbons break up the ozone .layer and are con­sidered enough of a threat that the U.S. Congress has recently moved towards action in this area. DOG RACING

Rep. Paul Boudreau, R-Waterville, has introduced legls­lation to legalize dog racing in Malne. Boudreau told Legal Affalrs Committee members at a public hearing last week that betting on dog racing generates $8 . 6 mllllon annually for tr­New Hampshire State Treasury, and would be a source needed revenue for Maine.

Opposition came largely from harness racing enthusiasts who argued that the harness racing business is marginal enough without additional competition, and that the owning and racing of horses infuses more money into the local economy than does the upkeep of a few dog kenne ls.

Rep. Stephen Gould, R-Old Town, the acknowledged hu­morist-in- residence of the Maine House , and a member of the Legal Affairs Commlttee, injected some humor lnto the situ­ation with his remark that: "I'll vote for your bill if you put enough mustard on the dogs so they'll ketch-up. 11

PERSONAL KOTE It was, certainly, an enjoyable change of pace to have been

able to attend the extremely fi ne "talent" show -- (HAPPY DAYS) -- at the Milo Town Hall on Saturday night. All who participated are to be congratulated on their very f ine per­formances .

Republican and Democrat lawmakers continued to disagree p--------.-... ------------•...:"-(""!lllt last week over the type of Presidential Primar y Malne should have, if any. The State Senate appears to have won this tussle, with their version of a Primary bill barely passing in the House.

The original House )?ill called for a Presidential Primary to be held on the same day as New Hampshire's first in the natlon primary or January 1st of an electlon year, whichever came first; the primary results were to be bindlng on party delegates selected to go to national nominating conventions; the cost was estimated at .$100, 000.

The Republican Senate caucus objected to the cost factor the idea of "playing hopscotch with New Hampshire and the dis~ cretlon given the Secretary of State to place anyone he alone determined to be of national stature on the ballot--even if a person did not request to be on the ballot, the Secretary of State could add his name.

THE TOW-N CRIER May 19, 1977 Page 5

bill cohen FROM CONGRESS Federal rural housing programs a re extremely important

to the State of Maine. The vast majority of mortgage money used to purchase homes in the state comes from programs run by the Farmers Home Administrati' n, a division of the Fed­eral Department of Agriculture.

In the past, however, Federal housing programs have been slanted in favor of major urban areas. While it is undeniable that adequate housing has been and remains a serious problem f9 r urban areas, the housing problems of small cities and rural areas are often more pressing than those of the great metropolises.

The. rural areas of this nation have about one-third of the country's total population, but nearly 60 per cent of its sub­standard housing. A 1974 survey showed that of all the hous­ing units in the country which lacked plun;ibing facilities, some 63 percent were in communities of 2, 500 or rewer. Fifty-nine per cent of all housing units lacking kitchens, and 34 per cent of all overcrowded units were ln those same small com­munities and rural areas.

Last week, the House of Representatives took an lmport­~t step toward addressing the serious housing problems of rural areas when lt passed the Housing and Community De­velopment Act of 1977. Included in th ls bill was a special title which not only extended all rural housing programs for another year but also provided new programs to benefit residents of rural states like Maine.

One section of the bill would provide a system for the pre­payment of taxes and insurance by home borrowers under Far.­me rs Home programs. At present, FmHA is byfar the largest lender in the nation which does not permit borrowers to pay a pro rata share of their annual tax and insurance bill along with the monthly payment for principal and interest. The result is annual tax and insurance bills which place serious financial burdens on many families and which, in fact, sometimes force homeowners into default. The new prov is ion will perm it Fm HA to collect in advance and to pay out on behalf of the borrower such taxes and insurance as may become due.

Another section of the bill would provide buyers of new homes under the FmHA rural housing programs the same kind of protection against construction defects now enjoyed by the purchasers of HUD subsidized housing. Specifically, it auth­orizes FmHA to pay for the repair of defects in new housing flnanced and inspected by Farmers Home which diligent in­spection by the guvernment should have disclosed at the time the loan was made. The claims period under this provision #Ould extend 18 months from the time of the purchase. FmHA could, of course, proceed against the builder/contractor for recovery of any monies expended for repairs, if the facts war­rant such action. This provision wlll strengthen the hand of both the borrower and FmHA in dealing with the builder, and I believe it will tend to make the occasional careless builder

. a bit more responsible.

The bill also addresses a longstanding problem faced by those attempting to deal with the problems of housing in rural areas -- the serious lack of information about alternative meth­ods of providing for rural housing needs. FmHA has a loan portfolio of nearly $20 billion, but it has no reseatch office or division, nor, indeed, any research capacity at all. This pro­vis !on directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a re­search branch within FmHA to undertake the kinds of studies necessary to predict and meet the long-term housing needs of states like Maine.

Among the other important sections of the bill are pro­visions to increase FmHA mortgage limits and lower down payment requirements, a provision for a rent supplement pro­gram for certain rural tenants like the one urban renters have enjoyed for several years, and provisions extending eligibility for FmHA programs to elderly and handicapped persons.

While this legislation, which must still be acted on by the Senate, will not solve the housing crisis in rural America, it does represent a significant advance toward a sound rural housing program. One of the fundamental obligations of gov­ernment is to ensure that each of our citizens has the oppor­tunity to secure safe, adequate, and affordable housing. This legislation will help bring that goal closer to realization.

MILO PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWSLETTER We have three new-to- us non-fiction books for our news­

letter this week. The rapid ri·se in heart attacks during the 20th century has

cuased panic in the public and confusion among the scientists. Diet has received most of the blame, although cigarettes, a lack of exercise, and various environmental factors have also peen suspected. .

Solved: The Riddle of Heart Attacks· by Broda O. and Char~W. Barnes may be just the answer we need to this serious problem.

Lovey: A Very Special Child by Mary MacCracken is the true story of a "miracle" --- how an emotionally disturbed child was reborn in mind and body, and how a compassionate, committed teacher made it happen.

Mary MacCracken had reservations about having eight­year-old Hannah Rosnic in her class of three emotionally dis­turbed boys. Theyhad made progress under Mary's care, and Hannah, who had the reputation for being withdrawn and poss­ibly retarded, would only be a disruptive influence, but when Mary first encountered Hannah -- wearing a woman's house­dress, her red-gold hair tangled with chewing gum, alter­nately screaming and sobbing, and acting more like an animal t han a little glrl--Mary knew that she had to help release Han­nah from her prison of fear, loneliness, and rage. But, how to do It? How could Mary help a child who had been shut up in ~lo sets, locked out of her own home, beaten by both her brother nd father ? How could she reach Hannah?

F irst You Cr y is one woman's engross ingly and very per­sonal story which speaks to the darkest feelings of women everywhere.

In an intimate, incredibly frank, often wry and witty way, Betty Rollin des.cribes how the loss of a breast affected her emotions, her sex life, her job, her feeli.ngs about her femi­ninity, and her relationships wlth others; including t he other man ln her life.

Betty Rollin's moving account of a painful experience will touch every woman.

ces are over for the su·mmer. The Recreation Departm would like to thank every~ who helped make our dances a great success. The depart-. ment will have at least one group dance at the town hall this summer. We are also considering one dance a month at the . town hall for the sum­mer.

Because of the many func­tions going on thls summer, the recreation department, in the next few weeks, will have sign-up sheets for some sum­mer activities. To get an idea of partlclpatlon in the programs, these wlll be placed in the schools •

Roller skating will be pro­vided if the recreation de­partment is able to obtain ·a bus for the· summer.

ANY MEN INTERESTED in softball this summer should oontact coaches: Danny: . Lee, Tlge Strout, Vinnie Boyce, Herm Dwelley, Charlie Deck­er.

Before a large crowd gathered at the Dexter Shoe Outlet parking lot on Sunday, at 6 p. m. , Desert Fox lost the bet after Orange Blrd succeeded in staying off the CB for · a week.
