By ABIGAIL CURTIS | Bangor Daily News, Maine | Published: March 5, 2021 BELFAST, Maine (Tribune News Service) It was business as usual Thursday in the dimly-lit canteen at the Randall-Collins Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3108 in Belfast, with old friends trading jokes and stories as they played cards. Meanwhile, downstairs in the dilapidated structure on Field Street, Jim Roberts, the operations manager at the post, wrestled with a new dilemma: a pipe in the women s restroom had frozen and burst overnight, filling every available receptacle and flooding the floor with grimy water. The post and its plumbing has seen better days. And Roberts, a Navy veteran, is working to fix not just the plumbing but also the endless infrastructure problems there by raising funds to tear down the old post and build a new handicapped accessible, single story building on the same lot.
