A BIG THUMB’S UP — When the New York Times came to Bridgton to interview Stephen King, he told the editors specifically to use The Bridgton News as backdrop. Here, after a long day of interviewing with both the Times (at Rosie’s in Lovell) and CBS This Morning (inside the Bridgton Library), King still had energy enough to give thumbs up to the newspaper serving Bridgton — a town he calls the perfect example of “little America.” Bridgton is the real-life inspiration for his 2009 epic novel, Under the Dome, to be aired by CBS starting June 24 as a 13-episode TV series.

Stepping into King’s ‘dome’

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer As one of the world’s most famous living authors, Stephen King treasures being treated just like anyone else whenever he pulls into downtown Bridgton.

As has been his routine for over 30 Maine summers, he makes the half-hour drive into town from his home in Lovell, sometimes with his wife Tabby; more often, alone.

The smiles and small talk flows easily as he goes about his business, which often as not includes a stop at Bridgton Books for a chat, or a walk next door to Main Street Variety, where, he said, “They’ve got great subs.” In small-town Bridgton, where he lived from 1972 to 1979, King is a known quantity, no more unexpected than any other familiar face, however huge his fame.

Most days, King breezes in and out of Bridgton with little or no fanfare. As a writer of over 60 books, many based in western Maine, he

likes it best when he can be like a secret agent, observing others instead of being observed.

But last Thursday was far from a usual King visit.

It was a day when King invited the national media to come along, to see the real-life town behind Under the Dome, his 2009 postapocalyptic epic novel that CBS has adapted as a 13week summer TV series to begin airing on Monday, RELAXED — Author Stephen King is photographed June 24, at 10 p.m. The net- sitting along the edge of the Main Street sidewalk in work is betting heavily on front of The News office last week.

By a 424–282 margin, the SAD 61 budget was approved Tuesday.

The general education budget calls for $27,928,764 while money for adult education, community use of facilities and subsidy for the food service program pushes the overall figure to $28.5 million.

Voters also decided to keep the current budget meeting/ validation referendum format for the next three years by a 454–246 margin.

Here’s the vote breakdown: Article 1, Budget Bridgton: 134 Yes, 82 No Casco: 83 Yes, 74 No Naples: 131 Yes, 59 No Sebago: 76 Yes, 67 No Article 2, Meeting format Bridgton: 132 Yes, 81 No Casco: 95 Yes, 61 No Naples: 132 Yes, 56 No Sebago: 95 Yes, 48 No A year ago, the budget passed by a 506–268 margin.

Voting was down in Bridgton (46 votes), Casco (12) and Sebago (14). Naples was up four votes.

Since taxpayer turnout at public hearings and the district budget meeting was extremely light, school officials hoped to gain some insight as to local residents’ feelings about the budget by conducting exit polling. Lake Region High School students took part in the effort. Student Advocate and leader of the Trident Academy, Jamie Riel, will tabulate those findings and present the information to the school committee.

“There were some good quotes about supporting education of our kids and the state not supporting our school budget so local taxpayers have to,” SAD 61 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kathleen Beecher said. “A lot of people who voted no gave no comment.”

Recycle, nab some ‘R-Bucks’ Set aside a vegetable can — receive a R-Buck.

Bundle used newspapers and advertising flyers — collect another R-Buck.

Recycle and you could earn a chance at free shopping at the R2R store or receive a discount the next time you need to dispose of a TV or refrigerator.

The Bridgton Recycling Committee continues to educate and promote the advantages of recycling in our community.

To promote recycling, the committee is introducing RBUCKS, which are specially created coupons that can be used at the transfer station to pay for various fees or

charges, as well as to purchase items at the Recycling to Reuse (R2R) store.

Over the course of the next several months, the employees at the station will award the R-BUCKS to randomly selected people who are making a difference by recycling. Since this is a random selection, to be eligible, a person must be recycling at that time.

The recycling goal for the town is to achieve a recycling rate of 50%, yet Bridgton is barely above 22%. The new display board at the transfer station will inform customers of the month to date recycling rate as well as the previous R-BUCKS, Page A

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — Lately, Harriet Condon has received a lot of heartfelt handshakes from area Mainers.

She has met so many community members, including those people serving on local committees and boards.

Condon is being introduced to people as the new Naples Town Secretary.

After 15 years of municipal experience in Southington, Conn., Condon said the transition to this much smaller municipality in Southern Maine has been a fairly smooth one.

“I find that the people we serve are so friendly and positive,” Condon said, adding, “Mainers have a friendly nature.”

She should know.

Condon “grew up on a potato farm in Presque Isle and moved to Mass. soon after having graduated from high school. While living

Carons carry on public service

Rev. Boon to retire in June

Rev. Ed Boon has reached the final ministry peak.

The Rev. Boon, pastor of the Bridgton Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, is retiring in June after 49 years of ministry.

Ed and his wife, Karen, have served in Bridgton for 13 years. He will lead his last service as pastor of the Bridgton church on Sunday morning, June 2 at 9:30 a.m.

Ed grew up in Nyack, N.Y., where his father was a professor and then president of Nyack College. Ed and Karen met while studying at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and Gordon College in Massachusetts, and will have been married 49 years this fall.

The couple served in Daytona Beach, Fla. and Cranford, N.J. in preparation for an appointment to overseas service. Ed and Karen served in Africa for 11 years, first in Mali from 1969 to 1975, working with youth and teaching at the Bible School. Following that first term in Mali, they transferred to Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) to help in the launching of the Maranatha Bible Institute in Burkina Faso, where they also taught. This school provides training for national pastors and is still very active today.

In 1979, Ed and Karen moved to France, where Ed first served as pastor of a Vietnamese Church in Toulouse, France and then as field director in Paris. They then moved to Mazamet in southwest France and served there for 11 years in a French church planting project. In 1992 while still in Mazamet, they began working with English speakers in the city of Toulouse some 50 miles away. Many of these people were business people working with the Air Bus company which has its international headquarters in Toulouse. They eventually moved to Toulouse and started the Toulouse International English language church. At the same time, they also pastored a French church in the suburbs of Toulouse.

In 1998, the Boon family returned to the United States and Ed spent two years traveling and speaking in churches about their work in France. On Aug. 1, 2000, after 31 years of missionary service with the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Ed and Karen moved to Bridgton, where they have served faithfully, both in the church and in the community.

The Boons have three children and three grandchildren. Colette, the oldest, lives in Atlanta. She has a son, Silas. David lives in Auburn, and is married to Melissa, the daughter of Glen and Amy Chaplin of Harrison.

David and Melissa have two children, Allura and Wyatt.

Chantal, the youngest, lives with her parents. Ed, Karen and Chantal plan to move to north Georgia in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Ed is an avid mountain hiker and plans to continue hiking wherever he can. Since coming to Bridgton, Ed has climbed the 100 highest peaks in New England. He has also climbed the 48 New Hampshire peaks over 4,000 feet six times including one round of the 48 in winter. He is a member of the “48 over 70” club having climbed the New Hampshire 48 a couple of times since passing the age of 70. He hikes mostly solo with his beloved Welsh Terrier, Lauky. (The name Lauky is a variation of an Indian word for “mountain.”)

The congregation of Bridgton Alliance Church will dearly miss these wonderful folks. Everyone in the community who has been touched by their service here is welcome to join with others on June 2 in honor of their many years of service and in celebration of their retirement. The worship service begins at 9:30 a.m. and there will be a celebration of their time here at 3 p.m. at the church.

might not give to the Town of Naples, and how to deal with that,” he said.

“Do we decide to ask the taxpayers to cover it, or do we cut it from the budget? And, we know the taxpayers’ pockets are not that deep,” he said.

Balancing the needs of the community with the costs to the community is something that Caron II said the current board of selectmen has done mindfully.

Most likely, the younger Caron will be officially seated during Town Meeting in June — if not earlier than that.

Caron Sr. has served two consecutive selectmen terms as well as a three-year term about 30 years ago. In addition, he has served on the Budget Committee, the Transfer Station Committee for 20 years; and as a trustee of the library for 24 years.

“It’s been pretty much an adventure for the last 35 to 36 years. I’ve enjoyed every bit of it,” he said.

“I’ve done my time. It’s time for someone younger to come in. We need some young blood,” Caron Sr. said.

“I don’t mind being put out to pasture,” he said.

“I’ve enjoyed working with the people in Naples.

I am honored the folks in Naples have put their trust in me,” he said.

The elder Caron said participating in the Causeway Restoration Committee has been worthwhile and rewarding. He reiterated that he did his part, and many community members have done more toward that improvement of public space.

One of his parting tasks was working with the Town Manager Derik Goodine “to come up with the design criteria for a heating system for the town office. So, he can put it out to bid, and hopefully, get that done,” Caron Sr. said.

His last day sitting at the selectmen’s table was Wednesday when the board called a special meeting to sign a warrant for town meeting.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — It was difficult to walk in high heels or to maneuver in flipflops from one end of the Causeway to the other during the summers of 2011 and 2012.

Back then, there were so many obstacles: Orange construction cones, stretches of unfinished sidewalk, mountains of dirt and rock, yellow tape prohibiting passage, highly-explosive welders’ tanks, and heavy equipment that was parked or in motion.

Now, the town is preparing to close a chapter on the construction with a springtime celebration at its new bridge.

The planned event, LANDSCAPED — The Brandy Pond side of the Naples which is called “Thank You, Causeway Bridge takes shape as the town preps for a Naples,” is scheduled to hapgrand celebration.

You have put up with three years of construction and traffic delays, and finally, this will soon come to an end,” Town Manager Derik Goodine wrote in his invitation to Naples’ residents.

There are a few details to be wrapped up on the Bay of Naples Bridge project — such as planting trees, staining boardwalks, and the striping of crosswalks and roadways.

Goodine said the cross-

walks were first on the list to be striped, and the objective was to get that work done, weather permitting, before the community celebration.

With abundant local talent available, Goodine made short work of enlisting groups to appear at the amphitheater, which is located on the Brandy Pond side of the bridge.

“I’ve been planning this for a year. I was able to put it together pretty fast because I didn’t have to have meeting after meeting to do it. That expedited the process,” he said.

He used Tax Increment Funding (TIF) money to pay for the costs of this event.

TIF accounts are supplied when businesses move into town; and that money can be used to promote the town of Naples.

Goodine is hoping that “Thank You Naples” will take off and become an annual thing.

“If the community wanted to, we could do it every year,” he said.

“It was a real low turnout for an off year election,” Caron II said.

“I’m very excited and humbled that the townspeople voted for me. And, I look forward to working with the current (board of selectmen.) They are a great group of people,” he said.

When Caron II learned of his dad’s decision not to run again, it cemented his choice to offer up his candidacy.

“I thought that it was my time to donate to the Town of Naples,” he said.

This won’t be his first stint at serving his community. He is involved with the Naples Recreation Committee, and in the past has served on the Naples Public Library’s Board of Trustees.

“Both my kids play on recreation sports teams in the town so I’d like to stay involved. I don’t see that as a conflict of interest,” Caron II said.

He predicted a lot of great things happening in the future for his hometown.

REV. ED BOON and his faithful hiking partner, Lauky, are pictured at the summit of one of several mountain peaks he has conquered over the years.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — The runner’s baton has been handed from one generation to the next.

Bob Caron II said his father had instilled in him the importance of volunteerism in one’s community.

“My father always told me if you are going to live in a community, you should donate your time to make the town a little better,” Caron said late Tuesday night.

The younger Caron had just learned that he had been voted to the only open seat on the Naples Board of Selectmen.

His father, Bob Caron, Sr. had decided not to run for another term.

Caron II and Matthew Plummer were vying for the three-year term. In 2014 and in 2015, two seats will be up for re-election.

The selectmen elections were held in Naples on Tuesday during the School Administrative District (SAD) 61 budget vote.

According to Naples Town Clerk Judy Whynot, the official count was 119 for Caron II, and 66 for Plummer.

How should Naples utilize green spaces?

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — In the Town of Portland, one individual set up shop on the sidewalk and sold “marshmallow shooters,” which were actually pieces of PVC pipe. The vendor claimed his product fell into the category of art.

Attorney Mary E. Costigan, of Bernstein Shur, shared that story with the Naples Board of Selectmen as it reviewed a proposed ordinance to control use of the town’s green space.

“You have all this green space, and you don’t have

people setting up hot dog carts wherever they want,” she said.

“Very broadly what this (proposed ordinance) does is it allows a permitting system for street vendors. On public property, it gives the town the chance to create designated” areas and types of commerce, Costigan said.

Additionally, the town would be able to preserve its festivals and special events by creating a buffer between vendors that are part of the event and those who sell their wares on private property.

The informal event will be open to the public.

Powers is serving her first term in the Legislature and represents Casco, Naples and part of Poland.

board provided feedback about and edited the proposed ordinance. Also, a special meeting occurred on Wednesday to finalize changes and formally make the document into a warrant item.

The ordinance will go before Naples citizens at the annual town meeting on June 5.

The land-use ordinance has a name that is almost longer than the Naples Causeway.

It is called the “Town of Naples Ordinance Regulating Businesses Utilizing PubliclyOwned or Controlled Lands within the Town of Naples, other Activities on those Lands, and Private Property Vendors.”

According to Town Manager Derik Goodine, the ordinance has been a work in progress for about two years and has been scrutinized by three different legal counselors.

If adopted by the town, the ordinance would permit seasonal vendors — mobile businesses that pay an annual fee to lay claim to a space on the Causeway. Even during weekend festivals, those seasonal vendors would be allowed to conduct business as usual.

“If there is a festival going on, you can stay there while the festival goes on around you,” Costigan said.

Meanwhile, vendors that are associated with an event or a festival, such as the Maine Blues Festival, would be permitted under the umbrella of SPACES, Page A

This week, Kenneth Murphy officially announced his candidacy for the Bridgton Board of Selectmen.

“My vision, motivation and experience is to move Bridgton forward in the right direction. With the new Comprehensive Plan in the works, we will work on our long-range goals — understanding that our residents feel strongly about not losing our uniqueness and the small town flavor,” he said. “I also understand that our young residents need opportunities for employment so they won’t up and leave to work elsewhere.”

He added, “The people of Bridgton want leaders who can make decisions to better the community. We need to work with our commercial, environmental and recreational resources to achieve these goals.”

Note: In June, The News will publish profiles on Bridgton town office candidates.

He estimated the parade proceeding will take about half an hour.

“After the parade, if people want to come back and hit the (American Legion) hall, we will have doughnuts, cookies, and coffee,” Merrill said.

A busy area-wide schedule for Legion members contributed to a slight mix-up in time schedules, he said.

“Hopefully, we can get the word out and see what we can get done,” Merrill said.

In Casco, the Memorial Day ceremony will actually start at 11:15 a.m.

Casco’s Memorial Day observances will be held at the Veterans’ Monument, which is

located on the Village Green next to the Casco Community Center and the Casco Public Library.

The Lake Region High School Band will be making an appearance — and some outstanding sounds — at only the Naples event.

Representative Christine Powers will be the speaker at the ceremonies in both Casco and Naples.

Merrill said it is important to find some time to commemorate Memorial Day — no matter which town people call home.

“It’s for our veterans who have passed beyond, and for those who are still serving in the military,” Merrill said.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — Few things are as frustrating as showing up to an event, only to find it started earlier than the time listed.

For this reporter, luckily, showing up a day early to Windham’s Memorial Day Parade provided ample time to make it on time the next day.

However, one other lone spectator of the anticipated parade did comment how weird it was no one else showed up because she had read in the local newspaper when the event was supposed to begin.

After all, what town holds Memorial Day commencements a day before Memorial Day? That would be really weird.

That comical occurrence happened five years ago.

To set the record straight: Naples’ 2013 Memorial Day observance will start at 9:30 a.m. this upcoming Monday.

The ceremony will be held at the Naples Village Green.

Then, at 10 a.m., the parade will embark on its route — from the Village Green to the Causeway public dock, where participants

(Continued from Page A) Conn., I got a little homesick for the open fields and the big skies of Aroostook, and began painting oil paintings of the potato fields back home,” she said.

“It is great to now be living back in my home state,” she said.

Condon’s career started out as a reporter covering town meetings. She worked as a news correspondent for the New Britain Herald and The Observer, and her beats also included human interest stories.

“As a reporter, I first got interested in the running of a town. When I went from reporting on town issues to being a town employee in Conn., I knew everyone already. So, it was an easy transition,” she said.

“I began by working in a busy town clerk’s office, serving a population of just over 40,000,” she said.

“I like seeing how a town runs. I didn’t know it was going to pull me in as strongly as it did in Southington,” she said.

“When you find something you like, you stay,” she said.

During her municipal career at the Southington Public Library, Condon “was in charge of balancing an over $1,000,000 budget and helping to keep the facility running smoothly. I became the go-to person for the 22-person library staff. I sometimes had to make some hard decisions while maintaining good working relationships,” she said.

At one point the library’s acting director stepped down, and Condon’s duties stepped up while the vacancy was being filled.

“I managed my regular tasks while doing everything from scheduling temporary help to keeping an eye on the municipal budget, from scheduling building repairs to (assisting with) FBI investigations of public computers,” she said.

Compared to Southington, Naples has a year round population of about 3,800. Still, the workload in the town office is sizable, she said.

“In Southington, there were four people in the office and a town clerk. Here, there are three people plus the town secretary,” she said.

Her job duties will include assisting the code enforcement officer and the town manager.

“They don’t register motor vehicles in Conn. — not at the town level.

It is just new for me here — how they do it in Maine.

It’ll be an easy transition, because I love working with the public,” Condon said.

In an interesting swap of workplaces and residencies, former Town Secretary Barbara Beckwith closed on a home in Naples at roughly the same time that she accepted a job with the Town of Gray. Meanwhile, Condon and her new husband purchased a home in Gray in late 2012, and five months later she was selected for the position with the Town of Naples.

Condon started her employment in Naples on April 30.

“Although I am a Maine native, I had never been to Naples. When I first visited, I was pleasantly surprised at its beauty. I can tell that I am going to enjoy working in this wonderful town,” she said.

“The atmosphere is wonderful here. The people contact with Naples citizens is enjoyable,” she said.

“And, it doesn’t hurt to look out at the scenery,” Condon said.

“It even makes me want to paint because I love painting skies,” she said, glancing up at the billowing white clouds that gathered above Long Lake.

In her spare time, Condon likes to do oil painting, an art medium that she learned in 2005. While the potato picking fields tops her list of favorite subjects, her paint brush has brought to life the scenery of Maine’s apple orchards.

She recalled the potato harvest in Aroostook County in which the school closed to allow the children to participate along with much of the community.

Lions create sunshine

SENDING A FAMILY TO CAMP — For the sixth successive year, the Naples Lions Club has made it possible for an entire family to attend Camp Sunshine for the special June session designed for children with Retinoblastoma; a rare cancer effecting the vision of very young children. Club president “Jack” Horne makes the presentation of the $2,000 check to cover the weeklong tuition, to Camp Sunshine Executive Director Mat Hoidel. Looking on are Past President Dave Gerrish (left), Carl Talbot (club treasurer) and Mike Smith of the camp’s leadership staff.

NAPLES — In 2008, looking to expand their continually growing weekly programs to aid children with life threatening diseases, the staff at Camp Sunshine decided to add a camp for children with Retinoblastoma.

This is a form of cancer, which attacks very young children. It seemed to be an important addition to the camp’s efforts to aid families whose children were diagnosed with this incurable malignancy.

At about the same time that spring, the Naples Lions Club was discussing their annual ”campership” grant to cover the cost of a family attend-

Sebago election recap SEBAGO — Chris Parker was re-elected to the Sebago Board of Selectmen Tuesday garnering 63 votes, yet an open seat remains in question after candidates Jim Libby and Tim Mayberry each received 59 votes.

A run-off election to break that tie has tentatively been scheduled for June 27.

Donnell Allen placed third overall with 40 votes.

Allen Crabtree was elected to the Budget Committee with 99 votes, while Joe McMahan will serve on the Cemetery Committee, receiving 131 votes. Lauris Champagne will serve on the Dr. Joseph Fitch Potter Trust, gaining 126 votes.

Buckle up, or else Maine State Police are joining 83 other Maine law enforcement agencies for the next two weeks in the annual “Buckle Up — No Excuses” campaign cracking down on those who don’t use their seat belts.

Troopers will join local police departments and deputy sheriffs in the two-week enforcement effort that runs now through June 2.

The Maine Bureau of Highway Safety has distributed just over $178,000 in federal highway safety funding to assist in the effort, which will pay for officer’s overtime. The Maine effort coincides with the national campaign called “Click It or Ticket,” which involves police from across the county.

The Chief of the Maine State Police, Colonel Robert Williams said, “Too many drivers and passengers are not wearing their seat belts, and half of the highway deaths this year in passenger vehicles were victims not buckled up.”

The Bureau of Highway Safety reports there have been 30 highway deaths in passenger vehicles and 15 of the victims were not wearing a seat belt.

Williams said the two-week enforcement effort is similar to the beefed up enforcement of state troopers during in the first three months of the year. In that effort, troopers handed out 2,478 summonses for not wearing seat belts and another 2,549 warnings during January, February and March.

A seat belt summons in Maine costs $70 for the first offense (including court costs), $160 for the second, and $310 for the third violation.

So, you don’t have a flea market effect,” Costigan said.

One goal of the proposal is to maintain in the green space a cohesive, non-cluttered look — especially after years of work by the Causeway Restoration Committee (CRC) to create an aesthetic public space.

Selectman Rick Paraschak suggested requiring vendors to use the same type of trash receptacles as the town has ordered for the Causeway.

CRC Chairman Bob Neault, who was present at Monday’s meeting, recommended protecting the stain on the boardwalk.

Also, the proposed ordinance addresses private property, over which the town has little control.

Because it is private property, the town cannot govern what types of vendors set up shop, other than requiring those people to get a license, Costigan said.

The town and festival organizers can create a buffer around the designated venues where the festival is occurring, she said, adding that approach would help accommodate traffic flow.

Lions’ donation (Continued from Page A) informed the camp of the fact.

Program staffer, Mike Smith, suggested that the tuition amount be dedicated to the new Retinoblastoma program.

Hence, an informal agreement was formed. The local Lions Club has just made its sixth donation to the Casco facility and last year raised its amount to equal current costs of $2,000 per week. The anonymous donor was able to match club funds for the first two years.

This year’s donation brings the total, for which the Naples’ club is responsible, to $13,000 for the Retinoblastoma session, which is held each June.

As the club celebrates the 10th anniversary of its founding during 2013, Lions are indeed proud of not only this gift but for the several opportunities they have had to contribute to other special needs at the camp.

Club treasurer, Carl Talbot said, “Our close relationship to Camp Sunshine was born when we held our charter night at the facility in November 2003. It has continued to be a real labor of love for us to assist such a worthwhile program which provides such essential care.”

LOVELL — Silent for many years because of structural decay, the sweet old bell in the steeple of the Brick Church for the Performing Arts is about to ring again to celebrate the complete restoration of the fabric of the historic building.

From top to bottom, belfry to foundation, the Brick Church is healthy and looking forward to its eighth season of programming.

“Ring in the Belfry!” on Sunday afternoon, June 2, at 2 p.m. will open the 2013 performance series with a concert of handbell music, choral singing, and a hymn sing to be shared by all present.

After performing this past January for a special Martin Luther King, Jr. benefit concert, area singers and bell ringers will again collaborate to present a celebratory choir invitational under the direction of Greg Huang-Dale of the Fryeburg New Church, Jed Wilson of the Lovell United Church of Christ and John Waldie of the First Congregational Church of Fryeburg. They will be joined by special guests all the way from Pennsylvania, The Praise Ringers from Ridley

Park Presbyterian Church, who have performed in and around the Philadelphia area.

The Choir rings five octaves of Schulmerich Handbells and four octaves of hand chimes.

The performance will also feature the newly formed vocal quintet, Coda Chroma, which includes the three choir directors and vocalist Laurie Turley. Coda Chroma will share their renditions of the jazzy stylings of composers Greg Jasperse and Pepper Choplin. Be prepared for a festive mix of gospel, jazz, hymn singing and a few surprises.

The 10th annual Miniature Art Show is now in progress at Gallery 302, which is a cooperative artist gallery located at 112 Main Street in Bridgton.

This year, the show was judged by Wendy Newcomb.

She is a representational painter whose primary mediums include oil, gouache, acrylic, and mixed media. Organizations,

businesses, schools and private individuals have commissioned her for her paintings, illustrations and murals. Her paintings have appeared in a number of publications, including L.L. Bean, Bayview Press, Old Cars Weekly and Artists of New England. She has taught adult education classes in painting, mask workshops, and

has volunteered as a visiting artist at local schools and nursing homes. She is a member of the Maine Arts Commission, CMCA, and the Portland Museum of Art. First place went to Molly Mains for her gelatin monotype, “Flash Dance.” Ms. Newcomb commented on “the layering of colors that creates an interesting background to the larger tree-like shape. The lines and other textures give this small piece a sense of movement emanating out from its center.

It has a lot of energy and is a beautiful little print.”

The pastel entitled “Love’s Labor” by Janet Gill received second place for “the drawing and handling of the pastel which work well with the composition of the piece.”

Anne Bernard received third place for her relief print, “Fluid Space,” in which “the layering of color creates an interesting depth. A lyrical quality is created with the repetition of the circular shapes that link together in space.”

Honorable mention went to Cindy Spencer for her watercolor “Little White Church.”

Hours for Gallery 302 for the month of May are 12 to 5 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Miniature Show will run through May 29.

(Continued from Page A) larger-than-life mind, pouring forth with answers showing why he has earned such a huge following of loyal readers and fans.

But before the filming began, King had time for some friendly banter.

“You don’t have to worry about getting my good side, because I don’t have one,” he said as he entered the side door and sat down next to the checkout area. Looking over a row of his books that had been removed from the shelves to use as background on the set, he said, “Oh, you’ve got all my books.”

Then he noted dryly that his response over the years, whenever librarians have asked him to sign one of his books for the library, is “Not unless you want to lose it.”

The signed copies become instant collector’s items, he said, and are never returned.

King said he is pleased with the TV adaptation of the Dome, which uses the book as more of a springboard for ideas than as a literal template for the show. Some of the characters that die in the book live on in the TV show.

And the ending? He expects it will be quite different than his, and he’s glad.

“You know, my ending was the weakest part of the book,” said King. The TV town also won’t bear much physical resemblance to Bridgton, designed as it is to appear as any town in small town U.S.A., with even the license plates artfully disguised.

“The show weaves scenes from the book back and forth.

It’s a little like a game of Thrones, where everything from the book is there, but sometimes it’s in different places, and different things happen” from the way it was written. “I don’t want it to feel like Network TV,” said King. “It’s a model for the networks that first got premiered on cable TV. I don’t want it to be like NCIS, where it’s basically the same story week after week.

After filming ended, King took Mason on a brief sidewalk stroll from the library past the bookstore and Main Street Variety, up to the Bridgton map on the Southern Maine Retirement Services building that is reproduced with eerie similarity, in the front pages of Under the Dome. He chatted with Mason as he walked in advance of the film crew, stopping at the Bridgton map like a good tour guide to point out places in Bridgton that are duplicated in the book and the TV show.

After wrapping it up with CBS, he invited the local reporter for the News to sit with him for a few minutes on the park bench overlooking

CBS Correspondent Anthony Mason interviewed Maine author Stephen King May 16 inside the Bridgton Public Library.

(Geraghty Photos) Stevens Brook.

Taking time for the local angle “Oh yeah. I love Bridgton.

Especially on a day like this,” said King, explaining why its downtown geography and some of its businesses served as inspiration for Chester’s Mill, the town whose residents one October day become mysteriously imprisoned in King’s imagination under a transparent nuclear missileproof dome.

Besides, he said, when spinning a tale over 1,000 pages long, it’s much easier to write about what you know.

“I know this place. I’ve got the vibe of the way people live here. I lived here myself for a while and I know the feeling of the place,” King said.

Knowing the geography was important too. “When you have a novel with this many characters, it’s nice to know what’s on your left and what’s on your right, and where the streets are,” without really having to think

mer tourists had all left town.

And to keep things even more local, King said he had the dome appearing on a weekend, so that a lot of people could be out of town.

“I did have a couple of people come out to be leaf peepers, because it is like a four-seasons community. So they were like my token visitors,” he laughed. “But I did want to stay with the locals.”

King turned then, perhaps thinking of some of the Dome’s more evil characters, like car dealer Big Jim Rennie, whose surname is a play on Renys department store and who is in no way, shape or form related to Bob Macdonald of Macdonald Motors.

“There’s still so many characters — but they’re not based on anybody from town,” he said in all seriousness, knowing many local readers of the book have thought otherwise.

No, King said, the message he wanted most of all to convey with Under the Dome is simply that “resources are finite on this planet, and that

people have to pull together if we are to survive.”

As King was wrapping up Under the Dome, he said, “Bush and Cheney were still in power,” and if a power-hungry Big Jim Rennie evokes Cheney with his utter ruthlessness, it’s no accident.

“I tried to create a governmental system that was bound to fail” by discarding democracy when crisis descends and imposing a fascist-style rule. “So I just took Bridgton and turned it into a little Chester’s Mill, and then I took Chester’s Mill and said this is “little” America.

Because that’s what Bridgton is, is this “little” America,” said King.

If Bridgton was such a perfect setting for a novel, King was asked, why not then for a TV series?

“First of all, your readers should not be disappointed that it wasn’t filmed in Bridgton,” said King. “Movies and TV brings income into the area, but it also brings hassles,” like a recent incident near the show’s location in Wilmington, N.C., when some local school children got scared by blank rounds the show shot off for one of its scenes.

“I never had a doubt in the world that the production staff told them that there was going to be blanks fired, but somebody didn’t get the message,” King said. Then there’s the hassle to drivers and businesses when sections of town are closed off for filming, he said.

Still, he hopes someday Maine will have its own film commission, like Wilmington does. He said it’s been tried several times in the past, under two different governors, but without success so far.

WALKING INTERVIEW — Stephen King and CBS Correspondent Anthony Mason are filmed as they walk along Bridgton’s Main Street last week for an upcoming segment about the upcoming TV series, “Under the Dome.” about it, said King. “It made the whole thing a lot more manageable.”

That’s also why King said he had the dome descend in the fall, after Bridgton’s sum-

Saving time on the lawn

JUST TOO TEMPTING: On Friday, as the sun warmed the air, a young girl tests the temperature of the water in a display at the Northern New England Flower, Garden and Home Show, which was held at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds over the weekend.

If it feels as though your entire weekends are spent mowing, trimming and watering your lawn, there are steps you can take to speed up your lawn care routine.

Automate How many times have you forgotten to water your lawn — or worse yet, overwatered it? You can eliminate the guesswork (and the grunt work of dragging hoses around your yard) by installing an automatic sprinkler and drip irrigation system that is based on your specific landscape, characteristics and geographical region.

A well-designed system ensures peak efficiency, which means you’re only watering your lawn when necessary.

This is great for your grass and plants — and for your pocketbook.

New technologies are making it even easier to optimize a watering plan for your lawn, as they can be controlled from the comfort of your computer or from a handheld remote you can take into your backyard.

Maintain Your Equipment Keeping your mower properly maintained will save you time all season long.

For walking mowers, a good maintenance routine is as follows: • Carefully check blades for sharpness.

• Make sure the cutting deck is clear of clippings.

Cooking spray on the underside of the deck will make a new mower easier to clean.

• Check pull cords to ensure they aren’t frayed.

• Check that attachments are connected and working

cial attention.

“Although trees look strong, woodland ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made dangers that can gradually reduce the health and beauty of your woods,” says Mike Burns, forester and program resource manager with the American Forest Foundation.

A U.S. Forest Service assessment released last December predicts that as many as 34 million acres of forestland could be lost in the United States during the next 50 years, and that all regions in the United States will experience increased stress from natural disasters and pest infestations.

Luckily, there are steps landowners can take to help keep trees and woodlands safe from pests: • Keep an eye out for changes. On trees, spots of yellow or brown or some

thinning needles might be the effects of natural shading on lower limbs — or it might be a disease or insect that’s about to spread to other trees.

• Stay informed about threats in your area. Contact your state forestry agency or state department of natural resources to find out what’s bugging your area.

• Monitor for pests and signs of disease every month or two. Check trees on the trunk, limbs, twigs, under peeling bark and leaves — the most likely places to find injuries. Keep your eye open for things that look out of the ordinary.

• Online resources can help you become a better steward of your land. If you own some woodlands, consider signing up for the My Land Plan resource, launched by the American Forest Foundation.

My Land Plan can help you PEST FREE, Page B

properly.

• If you use your mower infrequently, fill the tank with a fuel stabilizer.

• Periodically change the oil and perform air filter maintenance.

Less is More It’s tempting to cut the grass as frequently as do your neighbors. But where mowing is concerned, less is more. You can prevent weeds from taking over your lawn by letting your grass grow out a bit, as longer grass supports a deeper root system.

If you cut more than onethird of the grass length, you will have clumps of clippings that lie on top of the lawn, slower decomposition, and a less attractive, bristly appearing lawn.

Keeping grass longer also allows it greater sur-

face area to carry out photosynthesis, which results in healthier plants. In addition, taller grass grows slower than shorter grass. You can use this fact to eliminate up to 20% of the mowing you do annually, an average savings of about eight hours a year, not to mention the savings of gasoline and wear on equipment.

When you do cut the grass, be sure you’re using great time-saving equipment. A model with great maneuverability will give you greater control around landscaping and obstacles.

With all that time saved working on your lawn, you’ll have more time to kick back, relax and simply enjoy your lawn instead.

Advice from and Arborist

Playground safety

By Robert Fogg Guest Writer This month, I would like to discuss playground safety.

Keeping our kids safe is obviously a top priority for every parent. What many parents don’t realize is that there could be hidden dangers lurking in the playground — danger in the way of dead limbs or trees. Unfortunately, limbs usually fall heavy-end first. Even a small dead limb, plummeting to earth from a height of 30 or 40 feet can injure a child (or worse).

Winter is a great time to trim your trees, but it can be hard to tell the dead from the live so summertime pruning is recommended in this case.

Please let this be a reminder to you to take a look around any area where your kids (or grandkids) play, SAFETY, Page B

Tree planting tips and tricks Selection of trees for planting in a home landscape depends on the desired effect and the purpose the trees will satisfy in the landscape, explains Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA).

“Will they attract birds to the area?” she asks. “Shade a patio? Screen an unsightly view? Enhance the appearance of the home? Identify an entrance or exit? Trees can provide contrast and relief from surrounding buildings and create seasonal interest in areas near the home.”

TCIA advises homeowners to consider the following factors when selecting a tree: • hardiness (ability of the plant to survive extremes of winter cold and summer heat) • mature height and spread • growth rate • cleanliness • type of root system

• moisture requirements • space available above ground and below ground • maintenance requirements • ornamental effects, such as branching habit, texture, and color of bark, flower, fruit and foliage; and whether the tree is evergreen or deciduous.

A professional tree care company can help you determine which tree species both perform well in your local area and are suited to your desired planting site.

Arborists often do a close analysis of the specific planting site to determine the susceptibility or resistance to environmental conditions, such as: disease and insect problems that may limit your selections; the prior use of the planting site; soil conditions, such as poor drainage, high or low pH, and soil nutrition; the presence or absence of channelized winds; the location of utilities, both above

and below ground, because they are site conditions that dictate plant choice and location; and the relationship of the plant to roads, walkways and security lighting.

Is there enough space to plant a tree? The space available at the specific site and mature tree size are important considerations and addressing these limits will go a long way toward reducing maintenance costs. Do not plant trees that will grow 25 feet or taller under or near overhead power lines. Do not forget the underground utilities. Out-ofsight does not mean that they would not have to be serviced at some point.

Permanent plantings such as trees should be spaced to allow utility service. Groundlevel utility structures such as transformers and individual service connections require space to be serviced. A minimum of 10 feet clearance after the tree has grown to

maturity will help avoid any possible electrical hazards.

Where to plant?

Community ordinances may restrict planting of trees near power lines, parking strips, street lights, sewers, traffic control signs and signals, sidewalks and property lines. Municipalities may require planting permits for trees planted on city property. City codes often require that trees on city property be maintained by the city, so citizens planting an improper selection can cause problems for themselves and the municipality.

Find a Professional A professional arborist can assess your landscape and work with you to determine the best trees and shrubs to plant for your existing landscape. Contact the Tree Care Industry Association, a pub- WORTH THE WAIT – Springtime arrives on the farm lic and professional resource with a flourish of blossoms, garden tools and sweet sun(Photo by Brad Hooper) on trees and arboriculture shine. since 1938.

Pest free land

(Continued from Page B) connect with up-to-date information about pest threats, map your land’s boundaries and record changes over time, all at www.MyLandPlan.org. You can explore the website’s newly expanded invasive pest and pathogen section and locate professional services available for your needs.

• If you suspect an outbreak, collect samples of tree damage and any associated pests to accurately identify the problem, which may have more than one cause. Take pictures and notes on your trees’ symptoms. Often pictures are enough for an expert to identify the problem and help you figure out what to do next. Next steps can be identified by your state forestry agency or department of natural resources.

• If you discover an insect that you suspect might be a danger to your trees, seal it in a container and store it in the freezer until you can deliver it to a proper authority.

In the long run, nature might well be invincible, but in the short run, residents may need a helping hand to protect local land to keep trees healthy.

Memorial Day celebration Just a reminder that The Memorial Day celebration will be held on Monday, May 27 starting in Lovell Village at 11 a.m. at the Memorial Monument.

A service will be conducted by the Fryeburg/Lovell VFW Post #6783. The guest speaker is John McCann with invocation by Joseph Moody.

Upon the completion of the service, members will travel to Fryeburg to assemble at the Legion Hall at 12:15 p.m. for a 1 p.m. start to the parade. This year, both the Molly Ockett and Fryeburg Academy bands will take part. The parade will proceed down Main Street to Bradley Park, where there will be another Memorial Service. At the Gazebo, the invocation will be given

by Louise Maillett of the North Fryeburg Community Chapel. Guest speaker will be State Senator Jim Hamper.

All the surrounding community members are invited to attend. Anyone or organization who would like to take part in the parade can contact George Wesson at 935-2567.

A member of the Ladies

Lovell

by Ethel Gilmore-Hurst Lovell Correspondent 925-3226 ehurst3@yahoo.com Auxiliary of the VFW #6783 cleaned up the stones of her brother and stepfather. Bless her, she couldn’t stop there but kept going and cleaned all of them. Because of this gracious lady, the memorial is bright and shiny for Memorial Day. The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library will be holding a Plant Sale on Saturday, May 25 at the library from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Plants are being donated by friends, trustees and members of the Garden Group, who meet at the library. They will be donating some of the extras in their garden including annuals, vegetables and perennials. This fundraiser helps the library maintain many of its popular programs.

On Saturday, June 1, there will be a Boating Safety Course, Fishing Clinic and barbecue at the Kezar Lake Narrows Town Beach starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m.

This event is co-sponsored by the Kezar Lake Watershed Association and the Town of Lovell. There will be a course in boat safety by Boat Patrol Officer Jerry Littlefield.

Each participant receives a certificate upon completion.

With the certificates come a free raffle ticket and prizes.

Children under the age of 16 who take the course must be accompanied by an adult.

There will be a free barbecue so if you plan to attend you must register with Susan Hamlin at 925-3236 or e-mail shamlin@innovative-as.com.

It’s that time of year, so I suggest a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and water bottle.

There is room for the first 100 so sign up early. Safe boating is what we want on Kezar.

The Lovell Recreation Department is planning a trip to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay on Monday, June 10. The plans are to meet at the Fryeburg/ Lovell VFW Post #6783 parking lot on Smarts Hill Road in Lovell at 8 a.m. to drive to the gardens. The Rec Department is looking for volunteers to drive so that we can car pool.

The cost of the trip is $25 per adult. For more information or make a reservation, call Meg Dyer at 925-1440 as reservations have to be in by May 28.

The Center Lovell Market is now open. There has been a change. You must now enter through the restaurant door for dinner. They will now be serving wine and beer so it must be separate from the store. Manager Fred Andreoli hopes to meet the people of Lovell and have them try out the new menu.

Service Learning Project completed

By Ethel Gilmore Hurst Lovell Correspondent LOVELL — Fourth and fifth grade students at New Suncook School in Lovell have finished the Service Learning Project of adding three new pieces of equipment to the school playground.

In years past, the school had fundraisers to provide added monies to purchase playground equipment that handicapped children could use.

The Fryeburg Rotary Club has already donated a new swing set that is handicap-accessible. With this in mind and with the help of the Bryant Pond staff and local business, the project began. Bryant Pond became involved because their 4-H Camp and Learning Center was willing to help teach children the ways and means of accomplishing their goal.

First, volunteers had to decide what would be added to the playground. A volleyball net and court were selected along with a handicap-accessible WORKING AS A TEAM — Students lend a hand in lean-to and a climbing wall. the construction of new playground equipment at New These hardworking youngSuncook School in Lovell. sters, who volunteered, didn’t

just talk the job, they did it.

They were seen shoveling dirt into the pit under the climbing wall, but their favorite job of all was helping to smooth out the concrete on each project.

Other jobs included wheel barrowing mulch to each site and moving huge rocks. The girls worked as hard as the boys gaining the admirations of the adults working with them.

In these days of budget cuts, students working on the project are leaving a legacy to the future students that will enter New Suncook School years down the road.

In talking with the students about their part in the endeavor like rolling the big rock, working with the cement, shoveling dirt, staking out and marking out the volleyball area, you could hear the pride and sort of wonder that they all were able to not only take part but accomplish what they set out to do. Can’t you just see them walking tall?

Principal Rhonda Poliquin, the school faculty and all the students present and future would like to thank the adult helpers Jim Carty, Andy Johnson, Jesse Adams, Jeff

sponsoring the program with the Casco Public Library.

Judy Sullivan will be the facilitator. The theme is “Invisible New England; The Real New England?”

Learn about gluten-free diet Scribner’s

You may have heard of a gluten-free diet and wondered if it could be beneficial to you. Sometimes digestive problems can be traced to sensitivity to wheat, which along with many other foods, contains gluten. Your doctor might suggest a gluten-free diet, which a lot of people are trying these days.

Celiac disease is a serious, hard to diagnose condition that requires a totally wheat-free and gluten-free diet because the body has a toxic reaction to these.

On Friday, May 24 at 6 p.m., Womanspace is hosting a talk at the Bridgton Community Center on Depot Street by a young mother on her experience dealing with her own and her daughter’s Celiac disease. This talk is for women, especially mothers who have children with any wheat sensitivity and are considering a gluten-free diet, as well as those who are dealing with Celiac disease themselves.

Health practitioners are encouraged to attend and hear this valuable perspective. Gluten-free treats will be served.

For more information, call Linda at 523-0700.

In the 1849 Scribner Homestead museum, visitors will learn about the five generations of Scribners who operated or worked in the mill, and take a peek into the

Entrance is free; however, donations are welcomed and go toward the continued restoration of the site.

Scribner’s Mill is found one mile south of Bolster’s Mills from Jesse Mill Road, just over the bridge in the town of Harrison.

“A single June yard sale gets lost among all the other yard sales,” says Church Yard Sale Coordinator Rolf Olsen. “But, if we all work together, we can make the Raymond Center Yard Sale Extravaganza the place to be in Southern Maine on June 15.”

Raymond Center, located as it is on Route 121, right off Route 302 just east of Sebago Lake, is easy to get to from anywhere in Cumberland County. It offers convenience and visibility with a rural village ambiance — perfect for such an event.

The church is offering table space for a nominal fee to anyone interested in selling merchandise. The Church Vestry and parking lot will be full of vendors — 16 vendors have already signed up, but there is space for more.

In addition, the church is encouraging HELP WITH THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE — A fundraising effort, “Buy a Bundle,” Raymond Center neighbors on Main Street, is underway at the historic Gingerbread House in Norway.

RVCC wants to create Maine’s largest yard sale day or to let friends host yard sales on their property.

“The more people who hold yard sales, the more traffic we can all attract, which helps everybody.” Olsen said.

The church is asking for donations of any kind of saleable merchandise for the yard sale.

Pickups can be arranged anywhere in the Lake Region.

That day, the church is also hosting a pig roast, a midway for kids, an appearance

by Lovebug the Clown, and other activities to attract as many people as possible to the event.

Finally, the Church will be coordinating publicity and posters to boost the visibility of the Yard Sale Extravaganza.

For information about reserving table space, contact Polly at 892-4301. For other information or to arrange a merchandise pickup, contact Rolf or Brenda Olsen at 655-4670.

The June Yard Sale is a major fundraiser for RVCC. The proceeds enable the church to continue and expand its community and mission programs in Raymond and the broader world. Learn more about the programs of RVCC at www.rvccme.org

All of these presentations will be held at the main museum on Route 302 in Casco.

Areas Cathy will be covering will include information about the history of braided rugs and why they were created, what materials were most commonly used, color choices and of course the passing along of these pieces from one generation to the next.

On Sept. 9 at 6:30 p.m., John Manoush will be speaking about life in the early 1800s here in our area.

As a trustee of the Hawthorne Community Association for the last 11 years, John has learned a lot about what Nathaniel Hawthorne’s early life was like when he lived in Raymond between about 1812 and 1825. The fact that the Hawthorne’s home is still standing after 200 years attests to the fame of its former resident, but what about the average working person?

What were their homes and lives like? Picking up from where he left off at last year’s presentation, John will be continuing on to other aspects of life in the early 19th century. Consulting a number of sources including books of the late Ernest Knight of Raymond, a founding member of the Raymond-Casco Historical Society, John has attempted to construct a picture of what everyday life was like in the following areas which are left from his talk last year: Eating, drinking and smoking; shopping and entertainment; travel.

This is one of the most exciting years ever so consider becoming a member and join the RCHS team! For more information check out the website: www.raymondcascohistory.org or call Pam Grant at 655-2438.

FA at Latin Games

Fryeburg Academy, as well as many other schools around the state, will be participating in the Maine JCL Spring Convention on May 22-23, held at Camp Mechuwana in Winthrop.

This year’s event will include soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, chess, cribbage and tug of war. Winners will be awarded trophies. Other events include chariot races, where two boys will pull a girl and two girls will pull a boy, as well as costume contests, Latin Q&A, arts contests and Latin-themed movies Heidi Paulding, a Latin instructor at Fryeburg Academy, points out to students that Latin is important for those who may want to pursue a degree in law or medicine because it gives them a better understand-

ing of the many Latin terms used in both professions. But, Latin has a much broader application as well. A background in Latin can help students boost their SAT scores and become better learners overall because the inflective language requires creative problem solving to determine the meaning of sentences.

For others, it was another chance to reach the elusive state meet qualifying mark.

The Tri-County Clash track and field meet at Lake Region High School last Friday saw the Laker girls claim first place while Sacopee Valley took the boys’ title.

Here’s how the meet unfolded:

Girls’ Division 4 X 800 Relay: 1. Sacopee 11:48.3; 2. Lake Region 12:28.9 1600 Racewalk: 1.

Ashannah Tripp, FA, 10:25.1; 2. Liz Dyer, FA, 11:11.1 100 Meter Hurdles: 1. Alexa

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Molly Christensen Freshman Molly Christensen is making an impact in her first year playing lacrosse.

“Molly is a tremendous athlete and one of the most coachable girls I have worked with,” Lake Region junior varsity girls’ lacrosse Coach Dave Keenan said. “She is constantly striving to improve her game.”

Molly is always a threat on offense, but it is her play on the defensive side of the field that has made her so valuable to the Lakers.

“From her midfield position, Molly is usually the first one back on defense and has been effective in disrupting the other teams’ fast break attempts,” Coach Keenan said.

When it came time to select his “Player of the Week,” Coach Keenan was faced with a tough decision.

“This was a tough choice because so many girls on the team have worked hard and contributed so much to our lacrosse program (which is in its first year at the high school level),” the coach said. “Molly’s positive attitude, work ethic and willingness to do whatever is asked of her are just a few of the reasons that make her a great choice for Player of the Week.”

In recognition of her strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Molly Christensen is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing.

Recipients receive a specially-designed t-shirt, sponsored by Hancock Lumber.

Q. Why did you choose lacrosse? MC. I wanted to try something new instead of playing softball. I thought lacrosse would be a great opportunity.

Q. What do you hope to accomplish this season? MC. Because this was everyone’s first time MOLLY, Page C

Lewis Morton Lewis Morton has been part of the foundation of which the Lake Region boys’ lacrosse program has been built upon.

Lewis started playing lacrosse seven years ago as a fifth grader when Lake Region first started lacrosse.

“You can tell he has loved the sport ever since,” Lake Region Coach Don White said. “Lewis has really impressed me in the past three months. He has become an exceptional leader on the team through encouragement, staying positive and motivating his teammates. He pushes himself to get better every day and expects his teammates to do the same.”

Lewis has anchored the Laker zone defense, shutting down the opponents’ penetration near the goal.

“He has very good stick skills, which was demonstrated in a recent game versus Biddeford,” Coach White said. “He collected a loose ground ball in our defensive end, ran the ball from one end of the field to the other, past several Biddeford players, and scored with a hard sidearm shot using a defenseman’s long pole.”

In recognition of his strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Lewis Morton is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing.

My wife: Mom on a mission Views from the Uppermost House

by S. Peter Lewis BN Columnist On my desk at work, I have a photograph of my wife, Karen, when she was 20 years old; and on my computer background just a foot to the right is another photograph of her that was snapped after 30 years of marriage — I can’t tell the two images apart. When my eyes first fell into hers across a crowded college cafeteria in 1979, I took a deep breath, and it seems I haven’t let it out yet.

Karen has been a mom for the last 10,368 days, pulling double duty for the last 7,496 days. It started the day our son was born in an upstairs bedroom in our apartment after a day and a half of labor. Just a couple of hours later, after the

midwife had assured us all was well and had quietly slipped out the front door, I found Karen downstairs making supper, shuffling about in her bathrobe and slippers as if nothing had happened.

Eight years later came our daughter, in a different upstairs bedroom this time, with a different midwife, but after a laborious bout of about the same ferocity. And again, Karen was up and scurrying about the house in short order. I was exhausted and fell asleep on the couch.

Karen always wanted children, but wasn’t sure about the whole mom thing. Even today, she’ll tell you she’s not cut out for motherhood, not quite certain how to actually pull it off. “But look,” I’ll say, pointing to the clear evidence: our son (the engineer), a loving, responsible husband, a happy man on the verge of his own impending fatherhood, and our daughter, a bright-eyed, buoyant, college senior with a future as bright as the sun. “Look at them. They’re amazing. You did that!” And she’ll just shrug and thank God for all His help and hug me and wander into the kitchen to steam broccoli.

Page D, The Bridgton News, May 23, 2013

Right place, right time Before lunch today, I wandered down to the lake to look for birds, but mostly to get out of the house, where I had been cooped up all morning.

Our resident robins were in their usual spot on the back lawn, and as I walked near them they raised their heads, stretched their necks, and stared in my direction.

The yard was quiet. A strong chilly breeze blew off the lake, so I found a sheltered spot where I could sit in the warm sun and watch. From somewhere out of sight a song sparrow sang, and a couple of crows cawed loudly to one another. After a few minutes, phoebe flew out to see if anything was going on.

He landed on a wire, looked at me, and then flew over to the oak tree by the dock. It felt good to sit and do nothing in the middle of the day.

Even the birds seemed to be feeling lazy.

After a while, it was time to go back up to the house for lunch, but before I could get up from where I was sitting a bird sound came to me, one I had not heard since last spring. It was a distinctive call, a sharp zeeeeeee-

Letters

(Continued from Page D) land is “owned” in Europe or the New World under paramount ownership, as if the possessor had somehow discovered or manufactured it on his own. In the United States, all land titles ascend, sooner or later, to a land grant from the Crown (six, besides England’s) or Commonwealth (two, plus the Indian nations) and their successors, the United States of America, the United States of Mexico and their constituent states.

2. In 1923, Germany replaced its now worthless currency with the Rentenmark, whose value was secured not by gold or silver, but by the land of the Reich; hyperinflation was wiped out at a stroke of the pen. This exercise of eminent domain didn’t dispossess anybody; it did allow the Paramount Owner to put the land to its best use during an emergency.

That is the true face of eminent domain. If Cross were in court, his case would be thrown out at this point without further ado. Whether the four lawsuits he goes on to adduce have any relevance to the Lake Region is for a lawyer to judge. They do not add any weight to an argument that was fatally flawed from the outset; 4 X 0 = 0. In context, they do go to show that the infant Republic was reluctant to exercise its inherent power of eminent domain; indeed it had little reason to do so in an agricultural society.

Bird Watch

by Jean Preis BN Columnist ip that went rapidly up the scale, and when it got to the top quickly hooked over and stopped. The singer, high overhead and out of sight, was a northern parula, one of our smallest warblers.

Despite their name, warblers do not warble, but tend to have a variety of high, thin, or buzzy calls, and this bird was no exception. I knew that if I could find him I would see a colorful little bird, only about four-and-ahalf inches long, with bright white wing bars, a bright yellow throat, white belly, and upperparts of dark gray-blue.

I craned my neck to look up into the high foliage, but his song grew fainter as he moved farther away, and I never saw him at all.

More than 20 species of warblers come to Maine in the spring to breed and raise their families. Northern paru-

las are drawn to this area because of the usnea lichen, known as old man’s beard, which grows on our trees.

They use the lichen to construct a basket shaped nest, which they often build inside hanging clusters of the lichen.

Parulas arrive here in May, but by September they are on their way south to the West Indies, Mexico, or Central America. We have only a short window of opportunity in which to see them.

After the northern parula moved away, it was time to go back up to the house for lunch. We carried our sandwiches to the big window that overlooks the backyard, where we sat looking out into the foliage of nearby maple, oak, and pine trees.

We had just finished lunch when something moved in the top of the big pine, and a bird with a yellow breast

But, “circumstances alter cases,” as Mr. Justice Coke once remarked; industrialization and urbanization forced the hand of the courts. Quasipublic utilities like railroads and power companies and pipelines were the first to be granted the power of exercising eminent domain on their own behalf as along as the result contributed to the general good. Still, in relaxing selfimposed restraints, the state is only exercising a power that belonged to it in the first place.

I should add a side comment before concluding. Only after finishing my reply did I start to wonder — late in the game, yes — where Cross had picked up his trove of legal learning. You can only sink so far, but he managed; his botched Grotius and his four legal citations, mangled almost beyond recognition, are all copied straight from the first two pages of the “Eminent Domain” entry in Wikipedia — which isn’t worth the paper it is written on, as Sam Goldwyn once said of oral contracts. Classroom plagiarists usually do a better job of stitching together their ill-gotten gains; Cross makes the crow with its borrowed plumage look good in comparison.

Still, despite that discovery, I didn’t have to rework what I’d written; I’d been replying to what I thought was a letter

by Richard Cross, not editing the mess in Wikipedia.

It’s enough that if its view of things were accepted, the very basis of individual property rights and indeed of organized

society would be destroyed — eminent domain. We would return to the imaginary paradise of his mentor Coffman, an anarchy of paranoid individualism and a “war of all against all.”

The voters of Bridgton and Denmark will soon be faced with initiatives on land conservancy and policy, and should not be deceived by the rhetoric of Mr. Cross into voting them down. His misrepresentations are based on ignorance; garbage in, garbage out.

Scandal

To The Editor: Did you hear about the scandal involving the president? I mean the real scandal, not the brouhaha instigated by right-wing politicians and the sensation-seeking corporate news media that do their bidding. Forget Benghazi, the IRS and the Associated Press.

Forget the right wing weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

This, too, shall pass. The same can’t be said of the genuine presidential scandal, which the press has suppressed for the last 31 years, but which burst into the open on May 10.

That’s when the former military dictator of Guatemala, Jose Ephrain Rios Montt, was convicted and sentenced to 80 years in prison for genocide against the Mayan citizens of

and white belly landed in full view on a branch. It was a pine warbler. Then a little black-and-white-striped bird started working its way up the trunk, and out onto a limb, looking for something to eat, and a slightly paler version of that bird appeared. They were a pair of black-and-white warblers.

We keep binoculars handy at that window, and so we had good, close looks at the birds as they moved around in the trees. It was such a treat to be able to watch warblers up close. We were commenting on our good fortune when we noticed another bird, fluttering in an area of thick shrubs in the backyard. It was a male American redstart, a jet black warbler with brilliant orange patches on his sides and in his tail.

Whenever I go looking for warblers, I often get only a glimpse of a colorful little bird flitting from branch to branch, and I consider myself to be lucky if I see enough color, or pattern of plumage, to identify it. Today, a small wave of warblers moved through our yard, and I happened to be in the right place at the right time to see them. his country during his 198283 reign of terror. I suspect his name won’t ring a bell with most Americans, but it should because our tax money funded the atrocities committed by his troops. The source of the money, military equipment and supplies funneled to Rios Montt was, of course, the administration of Ronald Reagan, and that’s the real scandal.

Dismayed by reports of increasing atrocities committed by the military government against the native population, the Carter Administration had imposed an embargo on all weapons shipments to Guatemala. No sooner had Reagan and his Cold War zealots taken office, but that embargo was lifted and millions of dollars worth of military equipment began flowing to Guatemala, as well as to El Salvador and Nicaragua — all intended to assist brutal military tyrants in waging scorched-earth warfare against their indigenous peoples. Most of us remember the Iran-Contra scandal, in which Reagan illegally sold arms to Iran and used the profits to supply the right-wing Contra guerrillas while they attempted to overthrow the elected government of Nicaragua.

Probably few remember the genocidal campaign waged by the fascist thug Roberto D’Aubuisson Arieta in El Salvador, or Reagan’s enthusiastic support of Rios Montt in Guatemala.

These bearers carried messages of demands, terms, surrender and so forth.

If the receiving entity liked the message a return message was sent back to the former.

If the message was not to a king’s liking, the messenger was killed. This is precisely what Rev. Plaisted sought to do with his letter of May 9, “Public disservice.” Having ranted and raved about the associations and qualifications of Dr. Michael Coffman, Rev. Plaisted sought to discredit a man with many years of experience, advanced degrees and several pertinent books to his credit.

Rev. Plaisted adamantly claimed Dr. Michael Coffman was a member of a right-wing policy development group, the State Policy Network. After checking the website, I could find no listing of Sovereignty International, Dr. Michael Coffman’s company. It would be wise for Rev. Plaisted to list his references when he seeks to kill a messenger, with whom he disagrees, through slander.

There was little mentioned in Rev. Plaisted’s letter regarding the “message.”

They invoked Reagan’s name repeatedly during the trial, minus the hero worship that usually accompanies it here.

Instead, they told story after story of military helicopters, supplied by the Reagan administration, swooping down upon their mountain villages, army units machine-gunning their men and children, raping their women before murdering them, burning their villages to the ground and leaving nothing behind but bulldozer scars. In 1982, while houses burned and Mayans died, Reagan embraced Rios Montt and said in a televised speech: “President Rios Montt is a man of great personal integrity…I know he wants to improve the quality of life for all Guatemalans and to promote social justice.” There is the real legacy of Ronald Reagan. His presidency should be remembered for enabling the bloodiest genocide in the Western Hemisphere. Some legacy. Excuse me while I puke.

(Continued from Page D) either because the content of Dr. Coffman’s message is true and we are headed for some very difficult times.

Agenda 21, as insidious as it sounds, at least deserves some serious research for if it is what Dr. Coffman proclaims it to be, then we are heading for some serious changes in this country and the world, changes which will affect every aspect of humanity. If we are “too stupid to survive” then it is because we don’t take to time to research a speaker or an issue. People are not stupid and if given correct information can make informed decisions like the legislatures of Alabama and Missouri who just recently blocked the implementation of Agenda 21.

Other states including Maine, Oklahoma, and Arizona continue to press for laws banning the implementation of Agenda 21 in their communities.

that too often glorifies it. Why did a committee in Sebago decide to do that at an annual event that many look forward to attending?

Sebago Days is that annual event, celebrating 35 years.

The Sebago Happenings newsletter reminds us of this and informs us of the new activities that will be added this year. It is adding three new events that glorify, condone and teach violence — G Force Laser Tag Corp.; Company A, 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry Civil War Encampment; and Army National Guard Band.

The G Force Laser Tag is more than just tag. A laser is a gun. It is said that the game “challenges any size group of players, aged 5 to 95, with increasing skill and strategy.”

Increasing skill and strategy to do what? Kill people? While this shooting goes on in one field, there will be a battle in another. The Company A, 3rd Regiment Volunteer Infantry To The Editor: Violence is a major prob- Civil War Encampment will lem in our country and the be re-enacting this battle. Yes, world. We live in a culture history is fascinating, but

Even groups like Democrats Against Agenda 21 push for its demise.

If people across our country and the world believe and act on what Dr. Coffman and many others have to say about Agenda 21, progress against its implementation will continue to grow. If these men and women who speak against Agenda 21 are so off base with this so-called right-wing conspiracy theory then their words will come to naught, the message will die and there won’t be any need for the messenger. But if what they say is true, the message will not die and even more messengers will be sent out.

choosing this history out of all the rest of history. Why? If people want to bring families to see re-enactments, they can.

Children see and hear enough about war and violence.

Last but not least, the Army National Guard Band. What message do the children and young people get when they are surrounded by all this during Sebago Days? Do we call people insane when they turn to horrendous acts of violence when that is what they are taught and it is condoned, admired and glorified?

There is so much more we can give to children, young people and ourselves. We must focus on ensuring a brighter future for the children. Support the goal of peace. Sebago is a beautiful place. Let’s focus on that! Boycott Sebago Days.

In the past six years, the Republican minority has used the filibuster to block or stall legislation, progress or presidential nominees more than 170 times. This is how extreme the Republicans have become.

ROME, GEORGIA — Nicholas Scott Golden, 22, of Houston, Texas, passed away Sunday, May 19, 2013, at Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Georgia, after a tragic skateboarding accident. Nicholas was born June 25, 1990, to Ann and Scott Golden in Dallas, Texas. He was a third generation University of Maine student studying geology, and was the vice president of the Geology Club. His grandfather and parents also attended the University of Maine.

Nick was the captain of the Lamar High School Lacrosse Team in Houston in 2009. He also played Lacrosse at Bridgton Academy in Bridgton, Maine. Nick was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, and ice fishing in the mountains of western Maine. He enjoyed four wheeling, snowmobiling, snowboarding and rock climbing.

Nick is survived by his girlfriend Tina Ross; grandparents Frederick and Nancy Sheenan of Sandwich, Mass. and Thomas and Caroline Golden of Bridgton; his mother Ann Golden of Rome, Georgia; his father and stepmother Scott and Jackie Golden of Houston, Texas; his sister, Erin Golden, and stepbrothers Grant and Blake Niccum of Houston, Texas.

You taught us to always put family first, to stand up for what we believe is right, that we’re stronger than we think, to never give up, and most importantly to always remember how vital our relationship with Jesus Christ is.

Thank you for living your life as an example and for being an amazing father, loving husband, proud soldier, and devout Christian.

Casco cares

To The Editor: The Casco Cares board of directors would like to thank all who have donated to the Casco Cares 2013 Fund Drive.

Donations received from area residents and local businesses have enabled our group to assist 36 needy families in the Town of Casco during the 2012-2013 heating season.

It is gratifying to see how supportive our neighbors are.

It is also gratifying to see how many who receive assistance later donate to the Casco Cares fund.

We always have a hand out, a hand to help and a hand to receive. Donations may be mailed to: Casco Cares, P.O. Box 22, Casco ME 04015 or placed in the donation jars in several Casco business locations.

a federal crime. The federal courts have found that your ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Before taking the advice of a lawyer who thinks the United States is a democracy or constituents who would find it kind of cool to see an office holder dragged off in chains by U.S. marshals, or pastors who would better serve their congregations by studying what God said, not what they think He meant to say, you might want to make yourself familiar with 18 USC §242, 18 USC §245, and 42 USC §1983.

Keep in mind when a state treasurer is arrested for using her position to deprive a person of his or her constitutionally guaranteed rights, you can be sure that school committee members that take it upon themselves to, contrary to the constitutions, use their or the school’s authority to undermine the parent child relationship regarding anything, including but not limited to sex, might find an FBI agent on their stoop when they answer the door.

We, on planning boards, zoning boards of appeals, planning offices, selectman, state representatives, senators and other office holders that deal with private property can certainly be sure that when we enforce or attempt to enforce the items found in the U.N.’s Agenda 21 over the individual property rights guaranteed by the constitutions of the United States and the state of Maine, it will only be a matter of time before we find the FBI banging on our doors as well. The one positive that has come out of the Agenda 21 debate is the blossoming hunger for knowledge of our Constitution and rights. As more and more people read our Constitution, the anger toward those in elected and appointed office that abuse those rights are finding themselves more and more scorned.

Our Constitution tells us the rights guaranteed by the constitution come not from man, but from God Almighty, Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. What is given by God cannot be taken away by man, regardless of how hard corrupt men may try.

often yanks the Op-Ed section from my hands to “see what McLaughlin has to say this week.” Any teacher that can inspire, challenge or simply hold the attention of a 13-yearold has both my support and admiration.

As a parent, I am forever grateful to all the educators who have helped develop our daughters into people who can not only think for themselves, but think beyond themselves.

Thanks to Mr. McLaughlin, these young women now have a working knowledge of the world and how it affects them, and how in turn they might do something to affect it. I am positive that not only my daughters, but countless other 13-year-old students will carry with them what they learned from Mr. McLaughlin as they venture out, working toward creating a society where people don’t find it necessary to label each other as “bitter, old, white, hateful or ignorant.”

Personally, much like my daughters, I can’t wait to see what McLaughlin has to say this week.

Beach or no beach?

To The Editor: The Community Development Committee has undertaken the task of generating the most beneficial financial gain to the taxpayers of Bridgton from the Salmon Point Campground. Already, the rates have been increased and the revenue to the town has increased. According to a local campground owner, the rates are still far below industry standards and still need to be increased. Also, there has been an effort to collect property taxes that have fallen through the cracks in the past.

There has been talk about dredging the lagoon and rebuilding the bridge over the lagoon. These projects will severely limit the profitability of the campground and will reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of money going to reduce taxes. There is no cash on hand for these projects. There is no cash on hand should there be problems with the septic system or water system. This lackluster approach is a reason why the town should not be in the campground business.

The section of the campground that the CDC wants to sell is the part that is rented to campers and not the part that the residents use as a beach. That section would not be sold. The residents will have as much access to the beach as they have now. The parameters involved in the sale of the other section will insure that the town will reap more revenues than are currently generated by the campground without the liabilities of owning the campground.

The amount generated will no longer be a “crap shoot.”

On Saturday, May 18, the CDC had an informational tour

Drawing fire

To The Editor: Once again, Tom McLaughlin draws fire from the community for his political commentaries. Most recently in the May 2 issue, Charles Taylor expressed his pleasure in the fact that Mr. McLaughlin, now retired, was “no longer preaching his hateful, ignorant view of history to captive 13 year olds.”

Both of my daughters had Mr. McLaughlin for their history teacher in middle school and were not captive, but captivated by Mr. McLaughlin’s effective teaching style. To that point, my oldest daughter

tantly, any proposal should have a thorough environmental review.

Although the Portland Pipeline does not travel through Bridgton, it does go through neighboring towns and a spill anywhere in the region could have catastrophic effects. The Pipeline representatives hailed their safety record; but transporting tar sands (or diluted bitumen as it is also called), is a different situation.

Two environmental disasters in the past few years show us that a tar sands spill with serious consequences is possible. Three years after a pipeline leaked tar sands oil into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, it is still being cleaned up, and in March, a tar sands spill in Arkansas has ruined land, polluted water, displaced people from their homes and caused health issues. I think we can all agree this is not what we want for any town in the Lake Region.

The resolution is not binding, but gives Bridgton voters a chance to express their opinion that a plan to pump tar sands through Maine demands a thorough environmental review before risking the health of our waterways.

Please vote YES on June 11.

Does that mean there isn’t much interest either way?

The price that is being talked about insures that the property will not be given

away. The deed restrictions will insure the most benefit to the town of Bridgton. The price will most likely cause the process to be very slow and may take some time to sell. If all the conditions are met and accepted by the board of selectmen, the taxpayers will still have to approve the sale by a vote. There is nothing to lose by voting “yes” to sell the campground.

Opinions Beans not stones

To The Editor: Beans not stones. This is a simple message for the beautiful towns of the Lake Region. The phrase occurred to me when I thought of how best to describe to you what it has meant for me to be a part of The Village Folk Festival.

“Beans not Stones” is my re-appropriation an old, prob-

ably ancient, story that I read first as a child: Stone Soup,

by Marci Brown, published in 1947. In this picture book, the author describes how three soldiers, upon entering a village, were able to create a “soup out of stones,” which ended up feeding the whole community. The townspeople ended up adding a lot more vegetables to the pot, and therein lies a hidden moral: that alone we may think we have little, but together we are very rich.

My wife: Mom on a mission

(Continued from Page D) tangled hair, stuffed animals, searching for favorite pillows, monsters under the bed, mind-numbing hours at the playground and the beach, bedtime stories, dying pets, huge grocery bills, no savings account or vacations, part-time jobs on the side, laughing uncontrollably, soccer games, thrift-store clothes, swimming lessons, listening, praying, laughing, crying, scolding, holding, shooing, lifting, cuddling, lots of hugs, zits, braces, laundry, new sneakers (again?), scrapes, bruises, mud everywhere, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, snakes brought into the house, rooms that look like explosions at the transfer station, lost socks, sleepovers, problems with matches and knives and flatware shoved into electrical sockets, “Get your butt in gear or we’ll be late for church!”, girlfriends, boyfriends, no friends, frozen pizza, doctor’s appointments, youth group, driving lessons, late-night talks… and the momstuff list just goes barreling along breathlessly and ends with, of course, a bladder that “just isn’t what it used to be.”

One of the most amazing things to me is that on top of all the usual stuff, Karen gave up her life and home-schooled our children right through the end of high school. From phonics

to physics, history to theology, civics to calculus. Every day for years. Taking summers off to work.

Our daughter, Amanda, called recently from college. “Hi Dad, I’m stuck on something, is Mom there?” she said. “Oh, maybe I can help, sweetie!” I replied, all revved up and ready to problem solve. “Um, no Dad, it’s math,” she said.

“Oh…hold on, I’ll get your mother.”

We became empty-nesters in the fall of 2010 when Amanda went off to school, but instead of flopping on the couch for a well-deserved three-month nap, Karen went back to college herself to get a second degree. The house soon filled with biology and anatomy and statistics textbooks and I found weird sticky notes lying around that said unintelligible things like, “must revisit the Krebs cycle — I just don’t get the oxidation of acetate…”

Just the other day, I stepped in front of Karen as she shot through the house on some higher-education mission. I put my hands on her shoulders and said, “Honey, you don’t need to do this, you know.” And then her eyes fell into mine again.

“Oh, but I don’t want you to always have to work so hard,” she said. Then, she kissed me on the cheek and took off.

Burdened: Forgive us our debts

(Continued from Page D) That’s the way my father and many like him lived. He had seen his hard-working father invest his money and borrow in two ventures. Both failed utterly. One time, he recovered; the second time he stayed down. There were also in those distant days national “panics” or periods of depression in which businesses were wiped out.

So, my father learned his lesson thoroughly. He took no risks, made us open savings accounts and spend only what we had on what we absolutely needed.

The world changed around

him: Saving gave way to spending. Things that once seemed unnecessary became essential.

Governments waged costly wars while adopting lavish social programs. The payoff was votes, guaranteed because there was no price tag attached, no demand that expenditures be covered by taxes.

More money in the hands of citizens, not governments, Republican dogma decreed, would generate more income from an expanding economy and the government would be made whole even with lower tax rates. Let the good times roll.

But, the day of reckoning dawned. Bubbles burst. In Europe, a half-dozen countries had (will have) to be bailed out. In America, conservatives saw our government — after tax cuts, two wars, expensive programs, plus the bank-led Great Recession — threatened by a debt of almost $17 trillion, about $12 trillion of which is owned by the public, about half of which is owned by foreigners (especially China and Japan). That level, experts say, is not sustainable unless it is reduced by the return of really good times or eroded by high inflation

that will devalue the dollar.

Critics say reducing the debt level by fiscal austerity will rob the economy and the less fortunate of needed support and impede recovery.

But, that isn’t all. There is also a huge bunch of debt in private hands including: • Mortgage debt which now totals about $8 trillion; • Credit card debt of $850 billion; • Student loan debt of $1 trillion.

The first two figures have been declining somewhat as consumers face a tough economy and reduce spending. Student loans have risen, however, as a college education seems the best assurance of future employment.

Graduates with heavy indebtedness unfortunately don’t buy houses or spend much on their credit cards — prolonging bad times.

There we have it — a very, very hard dilemma: Do we cut spending to drive debt down or do we increase taxes on those able to pay? The Republicans will have none of the latter and want more of the former; the president proposes some of each. One way or another, we in Bridgton are going to experience both cuts in services and higher taxes. We’ll get through the siege somehow, and maybe along the way we’ll relearn the old-fashioned rule of being ready to pay for what we spend.

Henry Precht is a retired Foreign Service Officer.

In my opinion, our community has an important story to tell to the rest of our region and state. We are sitting on the wealth of scenic wonder, our neighbors are blessed with unpretentious hearts, and we have an abundance of ingenious craftspeople and entrepreneurs. In talking with hundreds of people over the past few months, I am convinced about a way for us to “tell our story.” We need to host a festival that highlights our unique identity — a “hands on celebration of rural life” — the Village Folk Festival.

It is not a new concept: together we are very rich. We have all the ingredients to make a wonderful soup (i.e. a successful festival): we have the craftspeople, the farmers, the vistas, the volunteers.

But not with stones: with beans…

As all movements need a symbol or totem, we chose the humble bean for the Village Folk Festival. This crop has been grown here by everyone since the Abenaki

first inhabited the area, later by settlers and industrialists.

In order to promote the Village Folk Festival, we have decided to host a Bean Recipe competition. By contributing a recipe, you are endorsing our festival as a wonderful way to promote our community, so please send something. We mean to have the best recipes voted on and prepared by local restaurants for the kickoff event Aug. 16, which will also include a street festival, music, kids’ activities and a garden-to-table cookout.

Please ask yourself if somewhere, lurking in the back of a binder or favorite recipe book in your kitchen, you have a bean recipe… whether for soup, hummus, casserole, enchilada or anything else.

Please e-mail your recipes (to me: my e-mail address is lifecurrent@gmail.com).

Also, please join our Internet community by searching for Village Folk Festival Kickoff on Facebook.

Medicare nugget

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor Did you know that Medicare covers screenings for depression?

Medicare will cover one depression screening per year, as long as the screening takes place in a primary care setting and you see a doctor who takes Medicare assignment.

You will not have to pay a deductible or coinsurance if you have original Medicare. Note that hospitals, emergency rooms and skilled nursing facilities are not considered to be primary care settings.

The annual depression screening starts with a questionnaire that you complete by yourself or with the help of a doctor. If your doctor finds that you do suffer from depression, he/she may provide treatment or refer you to a mental health professional for further care. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you will not have to pay anything for the screening, as long as you see in-network doctors.

Stan Cohen, a Medicare Volunteer Counselor, is available for free, one-on-one consultations at Bridgton Hospital on Tuesdays from 8 to 11 a.m. No appointment is necessary. Alternatively, call the Southern Maine Agency on Aging (800-427-7411) and ask for a Medicare advocate.
