| Waldoboro Town Manager, First Selectman Surprise Town With ...
The chair at the end of the Waldoboro selectmen's table was noticeably vacant Tuesday night as close to 100 people filed into the meeting room at the town office. Most selectmen's meetings find fewer than half a dozen citizens in attendance, and most find Town Manager Lee Smith in his seat at the end of the table.
Smith was not at the regularly scheduled select board meeting, but employment lawyer Clare Payne was in the audience as First Selectman Carleton Johnson announced that Smith had tendered his resignation, effective Jan. 1. No reason was given.
Payne was on hand as the legal counsel who helped draft the agreement, apparently in the executive session that commenced earlier that afternoon.
The resignation marks the end of Smith's 26-year career as Town Manager.

Agent Rulers..What happens when leaders sell their dignity, honor and the land their ancestors built and bled for? What happens to thinkers and writers when they think without their conscience? Arab leaders and the majority of the upper class, even though this class represents less than 10% of any respective population of any country in the Middle East, including 99.9% of recognized writers, journalists and thinkers are all clinically living alright; spiritually they are dead as a rock.
Steinburg: 'We shall never surrender' (comment)
Is prior military service mandatory to be the president of the United States? Not necessarily. But it is a barometer for measuring character under fire. Robert Charles Weaver, my mother's older brother, was in his early 20s when he served in the Pacific during World War II. He was assigned to the Signal Corps under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur until MacArthur's evacuation from the Philippines in February 1942. Before Bataan's fall to the Japanese on April 9, my uncle was evacuated to Corregidor, where he would serve under the command of Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright. Uncle Robert worked in an underground fortress, tapping out messages for help to MacArthur's military command in Australia, advising him of the plight of the 11,000 who remained bunkered down in the tunnels of Corregidor.

By Don Davis Baffled as to what to buy her boyfriend, Annabel accepted an invitation to chat while browsing the web site of Ted Baker, a UK apparel retailer.

History can be like an auto race. You can start on the pole, but if you spin out before the third lap, you're forgotten fast. In trumpeting what has happened to the Edmonton Grand Prix in becoming the only Canadian event in the merger of IRL and Champ Car series, nobody mentioned the name Thomas Doerksen. No mention was made of the man who dared dream the dream in the first place. "I imagined it," said Doerksen. "I believed when most others did not. As the founder of the Grand Prix Edmonton, I worked tirelessly and persistently for three years prior to Edmonton being awarded the Champ Car World Series. "Dreams can come true. And this really is a dream come true with the two series getting together and Edmonton being in the perfect position when it happened.

More than that, they want to rediscover the romance and theatre that used to transform a scruffy tin stadium in Shepherds Bush into a place of joy and wonder. 'Football should be an event,' Briatore declares. 'Our mission is to make it entertainment.' Dramatic changes have already occurred up in the directors' suite at Loftus Road. There's an espresso machine, for one. Then there are the elegant women with their tiny behinds and enormous sunglasses. And the dress-sense has improved immeasurably. It is impossible to calculate the acreage of cashmere in the room. The suite itself has not changed since the days of 'QPR rule, OK?', those glorious mid-Seventies when Stan Bowles and Dave Thomas humiliated defenders for fun. The anaemic wood panelling is of a hue that would make any airport hotel proud and the royal blue carpet gives off the reassuring spark of man-made fabric.
