Perhaps you remember the name — Steve Kolowich.

A senior at Bowdoin College who hails from Concord, Mass., Steve was our summer intern this year. He was impressive, too, and showed some real hustle when we put him on a team that covered the murder of Alexandra Mills in Wayne.

Steve is back in the news this week. He interviewed Gov. Baldacci for the Bowdoin Orient, a weekly campus newspaper where Steve is the editor. Steve asked a bunch of questions but the one that has people talking was about Plum Creek's plan to develop areas around Moosehead Lake. Baldacci called the proposal "too sprawling."

Word got out. Was the governor weighing in on this big project at a crucial time? Is he sending a message to the Land Use Regulation Commission as it examines and hears testimony about the project?

The governor's office quickly "clarified" his comments, saying Baldacci has been consistent about the need for thorough and responsible development. That's what he meant when the governor told Kolowich what he did.

Steve is a smart, but unusually humble young man. When a Portland Press Herald reporter asked Steve if he knew how significant Baldacci's comments could be, Steve said no, not really. We like that.

I don't have a big finishing point to make with this entry. But I wanted to let you know about our connection to Steve. Once again, we're proud of him.
