A Window on the Past – Jesse Dyer, Jr., active in Pleasantdale, Knightville and Ligonia neighborhoods

One fascinating person in South Portland’s past was Jesse Dyer, Jr. He was part of a line of South Portland Dyers who were mostly active as farmers and grocers, not to be confused with the Dyers who were shipbuilders.
Jesse Dyer, Jr., was born in 1823 on the family farm in Cape Elizabeth, son of Jesse and Mary Dyer (Jesse, Sr. was also born in Cape Elizabeth). Jesse, Jr., was an unusual person for his time in that he seemed to change careers every 10 years or so. It was far more common in the 1800s for people to stay in one field. He started working at a young age and was, circa 1840, putting up telegraph lines between Boston and New York. He then worked as a section boss on the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth Railroad, and then took a job with the Kennebec Railroad where he worked through the 1840s and into the early-1850s.

Elected officials and Planning Board members have expressed concern over Caddy Farm, LLC’s application to create an extension off Warden Street to access a proposed development on 4 acres in town.
Caddy Farm, LLC is seeking approval of a definitive subdivision plan to extend Rodin Way from Warden Street.
Peter Ogren of Hayes Engineering explained that a subdivision would provide the required frontage for the 3.92 acres under Caddy Farm, LLC’s control to become a developable piece of property.
Planning Board member Dorothy Poppe said she didn’t believe the subdivision application contained enough details about the proposed use for town departments to determine the proposed subdivision’s impact.
Weekend rain results in Valdosta sewage spill Sewage spill (Source: WALB) By Kim McCullough | January 3, 2021 at 4:45 PM EST - Updated January 3 at 4:53 PM
VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - Excessive rainfall over the New Year’s holiday weekend caused a manhole to overflow Saturday, according to the City of Valdosta.
City officials said the city’s utilities department responded to a call concerning a sanitary sewer overflow at a manhole in the 400 block of Mildred Street, an area the city said often floods during heavy rain.
The sewer spill was a result of rainfall over a 24 hour period. That amount of rainfall over a short period of time resulted in stormwater infiltration and inflow entering the collection system and caused the manhole to exceed its capacity, according to the utilities department.
