B8 Portland Press Wednesday, August 25, 2004 CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE OBITUARIES COLLEGE Continued from Page B1 the college, whose student population has increased from about 650 in 1990 to 1,000 today. The faculty recently expanded by nine positions, to 64 full-time teachers. Four new majors marine science, computer information systems, chemistry and environmental studies and 70 new courses have been added in the past five years. The new hall is the result of a challenge grant from Dexter Shoe Co. founder Harold Alfond, who put $1 million toward the building.

Susan Collins, did not make the list only four of the Senate's 14 women did. The others were Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York (5), Republican Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina (30) and Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California (50). Forbes staff writer Chana Schoenberger and editor Alfond also donated $1.5 million toward the college's recreation center, which was completed five years ago. The new building, decorated in cherry wainscoting, triples Saint Joseph's classroom space, with 32 new classrooms, 50 faculty offices, lecture halls and a 150- seat auditorium. It offers wireless Internet connections and is furnished with desks and chairs made with New England birch.

All of the paints, sealants and waxes are designed to be environmentally benign, said Charmaine Daniels, head of media relations at the college. John Zerillo, chairman of the economics department, was settling into his corner office, which project manager, wasn't disappointed by the board's split vote. "It's a good decision," he said after the three-hour public hearing. Residents and business owners spoke for and against the project. "The only people who have anything to lose are the existing businesses on Forest Avenue," said Samuel Minervino, owner of Samuel's Bar Grill, Elizabeth Macdonald devised the list by building a "power scorecard." According to the magazine, "we came up with a numerical weight defined by her title and resume, the size of the economic sphere in which she wields power and the number of global media mentions." The two got help from Catalyst, a nonprofit research group that studies women, and from Laura Liswood, secretary general of the Council of Women World Leaders.

"The list is really a celebration of women and we really looked at it as an opportunity to recognize the achievements of a lot of these women," Schoenberger said. She said she and Macdonald began with a list of 300 women and scaled it down. And she said Collins shouldn't feel bad. All of the senators are pretty powerful, she said. has mountain, lake and campus views.

"It's spectacular. The lights turn off automatically, you can adjust the temperature, and the furniture is brand spanking new," said Zerillo. Next door, Antony Girlando, assistant professor of business administration, said he was looking forward to using the building's technology, which will allow him to teach completely paperless for the first time, he said. "Even their exams will be paperless," he said. Staff Writer Beth Quimby can be contacted at 324-4888 or at: which may lose parking space as a result of Packard's proposal.

"(Packard has) bent over backward to provide whatever you needed," Lori Cail, a neighbor of the 20-acre site, told the board. "If they can clean this eyesore up, it's worth it." Staff Writer Kelley Bouchard can be contacted at 791-6328 or at: Collins had nice words to say about the list. "I'm delighted that Forbes has recognized Olympia's outstanding leadership, 12 she said in a written statement. "Olympia has served the people of Maine 1 in Washington for 25 years with great distinction and is a wonderful role model for young women." Snowe was happy, too. "I am honored that Forbes magazine would include me in such an accomplished group in their listing of the world's most powerful she said in a written statement.

LePage thinks state employees should be able to ask about immigration status. Blethen Maine News Service WATERVILLE Mayor Paul R. LePage, in an e-mail to Gov. John E.

Baldacci last week, questioned the governor's executive order banning state employees from asking a person's immigration status when providing public services. LePage said the order encourages illegal immigration, which he said presents security risks and a social-service burden. Public services, he said, should be only for legal residents. "It's a basic fundamental question," he said Tuesday. "Are you legally or illegally here in the United States? If you're not, we should either help you become legal, or you've got to Baldacci's order originates from a federal sweep in January that netted at least 10 suspected immigrants in Portland.

That incident raised fears in the immigrant community and prompted moves by civil rights groups to ensure their access to services.

The gig guide is GO. Get it. 12 conditions under which state employees must disclose or ask a person's immigration status, including suspicion of terrorist activity or the need to determine benefit eligibility. Public Safety Commissioner Michael Cantara said Tuesday that there are more than 30 laws that oblige state employees to ask about immigration status, and the governor's order does not contradict those. LePage said he sent the e-mail to Baldacci on Thursday, after he read the legislation, which was enacted April 9.

"I was appalled," he said. "The taxpayer can't afford it at the state or local level. I don't have a problem dealing with immigrants I have no problem providing assistance if they're legal. My point is, if they're not, they should be reported." LePage said Baldacci's order burdens social services, since the state reimburses only half of general assistance. He said the governor's order amounts to Baldacci committing a crime.

"If he turns his head on this, he's breaking the law," LePage said. Baldacci replied to LePage on Friday. He wrote, "The interests of publit; health and safety in Maine are not served when we have certain communities that feel they must live in some form of seclusion." Baldacci said all who need public safety or public health services will receive them in Maine, and state employees are not investigators or enforcers of federal law. Cantara said he could not support LePage's assertion. "What has to be understood is that the executive order does not prohibit law enforcement from taking place when criminal activity is suspected.

It doesn't matter if you've been here 10 minutes or 100 years." The debate raises questions of civil liberties. "Once people are here in this country, they have a right to fair treatment," said Zachary Heiden, a staff attorney for the Maine Civil Liberties Union. "What (LePage) is really talking about, and what the governor was trying to prevent, is questioning and challenging people because they have different complexions or appearances or accents." said that questions about a person's immigration status tend to arise from some form of profiling.
