    "This short trail starts in the parking lot of the elementary school. There is an #OutdoorClassroom, #VernalPonds, and #swale. Small bridges have been built over wet areas. There are small signs with information about the natural environment. Although there are blue blazes on trees, the trail is not easy to follow as it gets further from the school."

  8. I saw this on the local news today... 177 acres of woods!!! WTF! Gorham Sand and Gravel doesn't care about environmentally sensitive areas, or areas with children! They pushed to get mining in nearby #LimingtonME, despite the objections of the residents (and it being next to a State of Maine Nature Preserve)!

    Neighbors in #AlfredME discuss controversial quarry proposal

    ALFRED (WGME) - "Alfred residents said they feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, voicing frustration to the town’s planning board Monday night over plans for a new quarry in their neighborhood.

    "The entrance and exit of the proposed quarry would be off of Route 202 in Alfred and the site would be 177 acres.

    "#GorhamSandAndGravel are the developers behind the project."

    [...]

    "If constructed, developers say the project would involve blasting and dozens of dump trucks operating six days a week.

    "But the project was put on hold last summer after residents in the area voiced concerns about noise, dust, and environmental impacts.

    "Now, the potential quarry and the concerns are back.

    " 'The noise, the fly rock, the #SilicaDust, and we have an #ElementarySchool that is 1.6 miles away,' Alfred resident Ralph Dean said.

    " 'Gorham Sand and Gravel is willing to risk our safety to make money, our kids safety, our families safety, our community's safety, and safety should never come second,' Alfred resident Shannon Stevens said.

    "Another resident says a third-party review revealed holes in the quarry plan that haven't been addressed.

    " 'These big company they take advantage of these small towns that don’t have good strong ordinances and a professional planning board. These guys are all volunteers and it’s a lot,' Alfred resident Lauren Carroll said."

  15. "Ownership of Time Is Learned Early"

    With the advent of neoliberalism in the 1980s, the mission of public education has become more about preparing for life in the workforce rather than preparing for life fulfilled by freedom and happiness. The state shapes working class consciousness rather than the other way around. It's time to change that.

    Math was always hard for me. But what I HATED was gym class. I still remember the gym teacher. She would divide the class into two teams to play against each other, and she ALWAYS put all the good athletes together on one team. The "losers" team always got crushed.

    I, of course, was always put on the loser team (I'm the kid who was always picked last when kids were picking who was going to be on their team). One day after we got crushed by the good athletes, the gym teacher started yelling at us for being so bad at sports.

    I lost my temper.

    "Of COURSE the score is always lopsided!" I screamed. "You always put all the GOOD athletes on one team!"

    "Oh, and you think *you* could do better?" she sneered.

    "Yes!" I answered.

    For some reason she decided to show me up. She told me to divide the class into teams. So I did, as fairly as I could. Then we played a game between the two teams.

    The final score differed by ONE point between the two teams.

    She never said a damned word to me again.

    Gym teachers are scum.
