BATH, Maine (AP) - More than 100 Bath Iron Works employees are expected to be laid off this week.

Dan Dowling, president of Local S6, told the Times Record newspaper that 50 preservation technicians, 27 pipefitters and 41 shipfitters will lose their jobs by Dec. 20.

BIW's communications director Jim DeMartini says the company will work with the union to see if some of the affected employees might find work in other trades.

He says he can't predict when or if the employees will be called back to work.

BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- For more than a dozen years, the St. John Catholic School in Brunswick has been collecting donations for our Coats for Kids campaign. The kids really enjoy doing it... but, it goes deeper than that.

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) - The last vestige of Bowdoin College's fraternity system has been destroyed.

The Times Record reports that an excavator this week tore down the former Alpha Kappa Sigma fraternity house. It had been vacant for more than a decade.

Fraternities at the private school were barred from accepting new members in 1997 and eliminated altogether in 2000 when the final Greek-affiliated students graduated.

Bowdoin then began to acquire the buildings either for repurposing or demolition. Some of the former fraternity houses were renovated and incorporated into the College House residence system which replaced the Greek system.

But the Alpha Kappa Sigma house was in such poor shape that renovation made no sense.

Bowdoin, the oldest college in Maine, has no firm plans for the site at this point.
