SAD 61 budget, Part 2, goes to voters

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Robert Levesque of Casco hoped to create a major splash when he recommended to reduce each proposed SAD 61 budget line — other than Debt Service — by 3.14%.

Levesque’s target was to move a budget to district voters that represented a zero increase.

To offset the $700,000 on the books as the first debt service payment on the high school construction/renovation project, Levesque’s plan called for $756,019 in cuts.

Where should the SAD 61 School Board make those cuts? Levesque offered no specific recommendations, feeling Superintendent of Schools Patrick Phillips and his Leadership Team are better informed as to where cuts could be made.

A majority of taxpayers, however, disagreed with Levesque’s proposal. Last Thursday night at the district budget meeting held at Lake Region High School, voters rejected Levesque’s

“The budget is already bare bones. To ask the board to make

His proposals failed. more cuts, we’ll be treading on thin ice,” Esther Watkins of Bridgton said. “Have you (Mr. Levesque) even been to any of our schools? Maybe you should visit one to see what is going on.”

Levesque said people are struggling to pay their bills, and a 3.14% cut is “reachable, workable and doable.”

Elaine Heuiser of Casco reminded voters that Americans continue to head down a path of financial chaos, citing the rising national debt and the bills the next generation of taxpayers (future high school graduates) will face unless a serious move is made to reduce spending.

“When we hand kids their diplomas, we might as well as hand them a bill for $100,000,” said Heuiser, referring to the debt presently owed by the American public.

Several residents pointed out that proposed staff reductions, especially at the high school where 7.5 positions would be eliminated, could hurt the quality of education here. Deeper cuts could be “traumatic.”

Despite several comments regarding the difficult economy and the ability of some taxpayers to shoulder any increase, voters reduced the school board’s proBUDGET, Page 3A

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer NAPLES — A young child reported to have drowned in Brandy Pond Monday night was revived and airlifted to a Portland hospital, police said.

The unidentified 17-monthold boy “was found in the water face down and unresponsive” and pulled from the pond by an adult, shortly before 7 p.m. on June 27, according to Captain

Don Goulet of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

A Cumberland County dispatcher instructed the adults who rescued the child from the pond on how to administer CPR by talking them through it, until rescue personnel arrived on the scene, Captain Goulet said.

The boy was transported to Bridgton Hospital by Naples Rescue personnel. He was then transferred to Maine Medical

Center via LifeFlight where his condition was not known Tuesday afternoon.

“We responded, because the initial (9-1-1) call looked like a drowning,” Capt. Goulet said Tuesday. “Two adults were watching six children at a residence on Shorewood Drive and they lost track of one of them.”

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office investigation is continuing, according to

Goulet.

“Law enforcement was initially called in, because the child was unresponsive when they found him,” Capt. Goulet stated. “Now, we need to find out how the child wound up in the water and to make sure there are no child welfare issues.”

Three deputies responded to the scene in Naples, while a detective went to Maine Medical Center, said Capt. Goulet.

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer When President John F. Kennedy announced the formation of the Peace Corps back in March of 1961, it was the spark that ignited a burning desire in many Americans to want to help disadvantaged people all over the world. It changed some of their lives forever.

This year, in honor of the

Peace Corps’ 50th Anniversary, the Bridgton Lions Club has appointed the organization as its Fourth of July Parade’s Grand Marshal represented by eight Returning Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) from the Lake Region who served in each of the five decades of the Peace Corps’ existence. They are: Earl and Joanne Morse of Waterford, who served in Tanzania from

1964 to 1966; Ron and Kathy Hawkes of Casco, who were in Sierra Leone from 1965 to 1967; Ernie Kozun of Bridgton, who served in Uganda from 1971 to 1972; Jon and Sally Chappell of Bridgton, who were with the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone from 1974 to 1976; Henry and Shirley Hamilton of Otisfield, who were in Cameroon from 1987 to 1989 and in Niger from 1992 through

1994; and Nancylou Stiles of Naples, who served in Ecuador in 2000 and 2001. Their Peace Corps experience launched additional international service in the Department of Defense for the Morses and in the United Nations and State Department for the Hamiltons.

“The toughest job we ever loved!”

That’s how many returned Peace Corps volunteers feel about their experiences living and working among ordinary people in developing countries, Sally Chappell said. She said the group meets informally, periodically, to share common experiences and also to strategize about ways to implement the

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer The Bridgton Board of Selectmen appointed a new school board member, Tuesday night.

The selectmen voted unanimously June 28 to appoint Cindy LeBlanc of West Bridgton to a one-year term on the School Administrative District 61 Board of Directors, replacing Wayne Warner Sr. who resigned.

It was Bernie King’s first night as a selectman. King was elected to a three-year seat on the board June 14. Selectman Paul Hoyt was re-elected on that same date to serve a second three-year term.

Questioned by the selectmen about her reasons for wanting to serve on the SAD 61 school

board, LeBlanc stated, “I just think that I would be a great asset. I’m a very conservative person, and I hope I can help solve the budget (situation).”

Selectman Doug Taft praised LeBlanc for her desire to serve on the school board, stating, “She’s the only person who has showed a real interest.”

Selectman Paul Hoyt asked LeBlanc, “Who do you represent as a school board mem-

ber?”

“Both taxpayers and children — half and half,” replied LeBlanc. “We should spend the money the way we need to and not spend it on wasteful issues.”

When Hoyt suggested the school board should meet with the boards of selectmen from the four SAD 61 member towns during the year, prior to budget BRIDGTON, Page 8A

FESTIVAL ON THE MOVE — The 3rd Annual Depot Street Festival is on the move. This year’s event has been moved to Saturday, July 30 (rain date is Sunday, July 31). Bridgton Community Center (BCC) Event planners recently met with SAD 61 Director of Transportation, Buildings and Food Service, Andy Madura, to discuss moving the festival from the Depot Street location to the grounds of Stevens Brook Elementary School to accommodate carnival rides. They reviewed the layout for carnival rides, bandstand for two bands and of course the signature event, Pig Roast.

The BCC is excited to be adding carnival rides to this year’s event. Carnival rides will open at 10 a.m. and operate until 8 p.m. The Pig Roast will be served at noon followed by the music of “Relics” and “Wrong Road.” Pictured left to right, BCC board members Laurie Allen, Ken Murphy, Andy Madura of SAD 61, BCC board members Shirley Howell and Steve Collins.

Naples turns down grant

by Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — “Take the money and run” is an expression made popular in a rock ’n roll song recorded by the Eagles.

How about take the money and re-run?

If the town accepted a $125,000 grant, it would have to re-do land surveys and engineering plans and start over with the bidding process for a job that has already been awarded to Wyman & Simpson.

The Naples Board of Selectmen Monday voted unanimously to refuse the Community

Development Block Grant (CDBG) that would help pay for a section of the town’s underground fire suppression pipes.

“To make it clear to everyone: It isn’t that we don’t want the money. It’s that the grant is so restrictive,” Board Chairman Christine Powers said.

The federal grant comes with strings attached: a requirement to put the project out to bid again and go with the lowest bidder, according to Town Manager Derik Goodine.

It wasn’t the easiest decision for the board, some members said.

But, after weighing the informa-

There are so many to thank. So thanks again to everyone.

tion and looking at the paving timeline, selectmen decided to turn down the money by a 4-0 vote. Selectman Bob Caron Sr. was not present at the meeting.

Selectman Rick Paraschak commented on the difficulty of coming to the conclusion that taking the grant money might cost more in the long run, and put at risk the project’s schedule for completion.

“I don’t make this motion lightly. Paul Ratigan and Derik worked hard for this grant, and even pushed for more money,” Paraschak said. “Another town will get the money, and be able to use it.”

Earlier this year, Goodine submitted the town’s application for the CDBG through Cumberland County. Naples originally asked for $87,000, but bumped that GRANT, Page A

by Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — Janice Shane didn’t want to shut down her establishment’s beer garden and smoking area, especially prior to the weekend before the Fourth of July.

The owner of the Redneck Lounge said she had been proactive with phone calls to the Naples Town Office and the state liquor board this spring when she realized she might have the opportunity to expand her outdoor space.

Noise complaints made earlier this month may have stemmed from people talking outside, but she tries to keep the music at a reasonable level, and employees make certain the doors stay closed, Shane said.

“We only have six weeks of summer left; and I would like to have this resolved. We are just trying to pay our rent,” she told the Naples Board of Selectmen on Monday.

“I have an outside area I’d like to use this weekend,” Shane said, adding other businesses in Naples, “my peers,” are offering customers an outdoor space for eating, drinking and smoking in the summertime — an amenity that is a deciding factor for some when going out for the evening.

Selectmen voted to allow the Redneck Lounge to continue to use its enclosed outdoor space for patrons to drink alcohol and eat food. The vote was 3-to-1 with Selectman Rick Paraschak opposing.

However, a public hearing is slated for July 11; and at that time, residents can voice their concerns or complaints about the business.

Complaints made to town officials about the noise coming from the Redneck Lounge prompted Town Manager Derik Goodine to look into the protocol to follow when business owners expand beyond the plans presented to the board at the time of liquor license approval.

About a half-dozen restaurants have developed outdoor seating or smoking areas where customers can also drink alco-

Budget 2.0 heads to SAD 61 voters The Levesque Plan (Continued from Page A) posed budget by $90,000 after hearing SAD 61 officials had eliminated the Grade 8 Summit program. Coupled with the school board’s cut of $172,000, the total reduction reached was $262,000.

The proposed General Fund and Adult Education budget for 2011-12 totals $26,576,233.

This figure now heads for district-wide action today as voters in the four SAD 61 towns cast either a “yes” or “no” vote.

If voters reject the budget for the second time, Superintendent Phillips reported that the school district would operate under the figures approved at last week’s district budget meeting, at least for the time being. If the budget is rejected, the school board would reconvene to consider deeper cuts, hold another district meeting to vote on a budget figure, and then send it out to a third budget validation referendum vote.

Not the time to pad the budget Alice Darlington of Casco supports providing students with a quality education, but she and others believe now is not the time to pad a budget based on “what ifs.”

One cut voters did make to the proposed budget was $90,000, which was initially earmarked for the Grade 8 Summit — a program to help students reach proficiency levels prior to entering high school.

At last Monday’s school board meeting in Casco, school directors debated whether to keep $90,000 in the proposed budget despite the cancellation of the Grade 8 Summit.

Lake Region Middle School Assistant Principal J.P. Yorkey reported that the number of students — who had been identified through three rounds of

testing that had failed to show proficiency in various subject areas — decreased to “four or five.” Initially, the figure was close to 40.

School Board member Leslie Niemy of Bridgton wondered how the “miraculous” turnaround occurred in just a few short months. Yorkey suspects that when some students were threatened with retention, they took the final screening test “more seriously,” while parent involvement may also have had a motivating effect. Some students also received some tutoring, which helped them reach the minimum level.

Superintendent Phillips suggested that the school board keep the remaining Summit money (initially, the program tailored for 40 students included two teachers and money for transportation to community locations for a total of $170,000) in the proposed budget. Phillips felt the money could be used to develop an “alternative” program to assist incoming eighth graders who may lack proficiency in some subject areas.

Taxpayers disagreed.

“Spending money on something that is non-existent doesn’t make sense,” Darlington said.

Paul Hoyt, a resident and selectman from Bridgton, felt cutting the $90,000 would represent a good faith effort to struggling taxpayers. “I don’t think we can afford, right now, to hold over $90,000,” he said.

Charles Frechette, who owns a boat marina in Sebago, agreed. Pointing out that “blue collar” workers — excavators, drywall installers and other tradesmen — are the backbone of SAD 61’s financial makeup, Frechette impressed upon the school board to understand the impact increases, especially $90,000 “which is quite a lot

said if the board voted to shut down the Redneck Lounge’s outdoor eating and drinking area, some of the other Naples establishments would have to eliminate the use of outdoor premises where alcohol is being allowed and wasn’t originally approved.

Watson said since outdoor music hadn’t come into play, the Special Amusement Permit wasn’t required — and everything was

Validation Vote

The SAD 61 budget validation referendum takes place in the four district towns — Bridgton, Casco, Naples and Sebago — today, Thursday, June 30.

Polls will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Where to vote: Bridgton Town Hall, Casco Community Center, Naples Municipal Building and Sebago Town Office.

Town Tax Assessments: Based on the proposed SAD 61 budget for the 2011-12 school year, the tax assessment and increase to district towns would be as follows: Bridgton: $7,975,964, an increase of $209,471 or 2.7%.

Casco: $5,991,966, an increase of $651,555 or 12.2%.

Naples: $6,884,021, an increase of $367,198 or 5.63%.

Sebago: $3,216,031, an increase of $106,608 or 3.43%. of money to just sit there,” will have on the area’s workforce.

“We’ve all had to do better with less,” he said. “The schools can do better with less as well.”

When the article for System and School Administration came up for discussion, Ken Murphy of Bridgton asked if the proposed budget included salary raises.

Administrators would receive a 2% hike, as negotiated with the school board (a net increase of $10,000, Superintendent Phillips reported). Meanwhile, SAD 61 and the Teachers’ Association continue their negotiations. A recent proposal was rejected by the Association, which has been

working without a new contract since last June. Mediation sessions have taken place, but no agreement has been reached.

Levesque suggested that the district could reduce costs by eliminating the assistant superintendent post. The school board, however, feels the position is vital due to the scope of responsibilities that include curriculum oversight, grant writing and several other tasks. When asked the number of hours each administrator works in a week’s time, the figure is between 50 to 70 hours.

Yesterday, the SAD 61 School Board Personnel Committee was scheduled to meet to discuss recommendation of an Assistant Superintendent candidate. Dr. Kathleen Beecher, who has served as the district’s assistant superintendent, will serve as interim superintendent for a year, succeeding Phillips who leaves next month.

A special school board meeting will be held tonight, June 30, to act on the nomination of an assistant superintendent, who will serve SAD 61 from Aug. 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

At 8:52 p.m., the meeting took somewhat of a shift as Bridgton resident Greg Watkins “moved the question” on Article 9 — Transportation and Buses — thus ending all debate. The move prevented Levesque from offering his amendment to the main motion — the figure put forth by the school board.

After voters approved Article 9 as presented, John Tingley of Naples followed Watkins’ lead by “moving” Article 10 — Facilities Maintenance — as presented. Again, Levesque was unable to put forth his amendment. Article 10 was approved as presented by the school board.

Robert Levesque of Casco, who spearheaded an advertising campaign in The News regarding the SAD 61 budget, proposed the following budget cuts at last week’s district meeting held at Lake Region High School.

The first seven article changes were rejected; the final two — Transportation & Buses and Facilities Maintenance — failed to reach the floor for discussion as two voters “moved the question,” which ceased debate before Levesque could ask for an amendment to the article.

Levesque proposed a 3.14% cut to each article — other than the Debt Service line ($1,903,460), which taxpayers are obligated to pay — which, if passed, would have produced a zero increase to the SAD 61 budget ($25,216,481) for the 2011-12 school year. The total proposed cut was $756,019.

The School Board proposed figure was $25,972,500, but taxpayers reduced the number by $90,000 (for a total of $25,882,500) after school officials eliminated a proposed Grade 8 Summit program to help students who had failed to show academic proficiency.

The following shows the recommended figure by the SAD 61 School Board and the cut recommended by Levesque: Regular Instruction: $9,181,254; (-$288,389) Special Education: $4,638,089; (-$145,684) Career/Tech Education: $1,087,060; (-$34,145) Other Instruction: $435,730; (-$13,686) Student/Staff Support: $2,385,031; (-$74,915) System Administration: $762,239; (-$23.942) School Administration: $1,177,672; (-$36,991) Transportation/Buses: $1,463,507; (-$45,969) Facilities Maintenance: $2,864,435; (-$89,973) All Other Expenditures: $74,023; (-$2,325) Levesque’s suggested amendments did not include Adult Education, which has a proposed budget line of $693,733.

Before voters acted upon the final spending figures, Casco Town Manager David Morton made a plea that school officials consider paying $125,000 for PCB removal at the high school out of project funds — even though it would force some type of “reduction in the scope of the project” — as another way to reduce the budget. Voters already authorized officials to use Capital Reserve Funds to help reduce the cost of PCB removal. PCB levels were found around windows and doors, as the result of caulking used during school construction back in the late 1960s.

Superintendent Phillips noted that the high school project initially started at $20 million, but had been scaled back to $13.8 million and “all funds are accounted for.”

Andy Madura, SAD 61’s the public hearing. director of Transportation, “I don’t want to tick people off. I am very sensitive to noise Maintenance and Food Service, complaints,” Shane said, adding she monitors the volume of the music coming from disc jockeys and the live bands at her establishment. “This is my town, too.”

ments that have expanded beyond original plans submitted in liquor license approval would be subject to a second public hearing, too. Goodine suggested giving tentative approval to the Redneck Lounge.

“It’s in the best interest of everyone to keep this open,” Powers said.

Prior to Powers’ statement, Selectman Dana Watson had

set there. But, he agreed a public hearing was in order.

“The key here is how many residents show up. If it’s just one or if 20 people can hear it all the way to Casco Village,” Watson said.

Resident Bob Neault said the board might want to take into account not necessarily the “quantity of complaints, but the quality.”

The board decided not to try to hold a special meeting since Monday falls on July 4, but wait until July 11 to schedule

A regular visit to your optometrist’s office isn’t only good for your eyes, it’s good for your whole body. A comprehensive eye exam will diagnose eye problems like astigmatism, cataracts, and farsightedness to name a few, but did you know that an eye exam can go a long way in detecting other health concerns like diabetes and high blood pressure?

Naples grant

(Continued from Page A) number up to $125,000 — the amount that was awarded to the town for the fire suppression infrastructure.

Goodine said if he had known sooner in the process that the grant money was tied to re-bidding the project, he would have put his energy elsewhere and found another project suitable for the CDBG program.

“I thought we would be able to do it as a change order,” he said.

At the annual town meeting on June 8, residents approved the use of $260,000 toward the installation of fire suppression pipes placed underground from the west side of the bridge to the Naples Fire and Rescue Station. Water pipes would also run along Lake House Road.

The project had been awarded to Wyman & Simpson, the construction company tasked with the Bay of Naples Bridge and Causeway renovation project. Since Wyman & Simpson already would be doing ditch work in the fall, the cost to the town is lower to piggyback onto that project.

According to Goodine, “The build period is a maximum of four weeks, and the possibility of rainy weather” could shorten that time period.

The fire suppression installation could not begin until after Labor Day since it would require the closing of one lane; and the state transportation department’s agreement with the town is that Route 302 will be open to two lanes of traffic from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. By state law, paving must be completed around the third week of October, which gives the project little time for delays or bad weather.

Goodine said if the project went out to bid again, it could become “a logistical nightmare.”

In addition, the price of many materials including 12-inch pipe has risen since the town awarded the bid to Wyman & Simpson, he told the board. In an effort to save money, Goodine plans to skip the temporary paving over of the ditches and a $10,000 bill for the town.

“I look at it as a waste of money,” he said, adding the pavement would be torn up in the fall.

The best approach could be not to do anything, he said of the temporary pavement plan.

Tree-cutting fine paid in full

by Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES - A Massachusetts man paid in full the fine for a tree-cutting violation on his Muddy River property, according to Naples Town Manager Derik Goodine.

Gordan MacNevin paid $12,896 to the town on Tuesday morning, Goodine said.

The civil penalty was $10,000, and the remainder of the fine covered the town’s legal services and other related fees.

In addition, MacNevin will be required to submit a restoration plan to the town. Trees will be planted on the property in the spring of 2012, Goodine said.

On Monday, the Naples Board of Selectmen went into executive session to review the settlement that would allow both parties to avoid further litigation.

In late 2010, MacNevin hired a company to clear trees so a

septic system could be put in on his Sebago Cove parcel.

The shoreland zoning regulation that was broken states that not more than 40 percent of the sizeable trees can be removed from a shoreland lot over a period of 10 years. A sizable tree measures more than 4inches in diameter, and is more than 4-feet tall.

The town’s landscape expert indicated spring would be the best time for reforestation; and MacNevin will be permitted to plant Canadian hemlock and Eastern white pine trees that are between 6- and 8-feet tall.

Those two species of trees can be transplanted without the aid or expense of heavy machinery, according to the legal agreement. The new trees must survive for at least five years, and a lien will be put on the deed, making MacNevin’s heirs or any future property owner responsible for making certain the trees thrive during that time

period.

Also, the town agreed to grant MacNevin the permits necessary to put in both the septic system and the foundation during the 2011 construction season, the paperwork stated.

The Bridgton Recreation Advancement Group was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $100,000 from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund (BTF).

The grant will support the Bridgton Community Recreation Complex and provide funding for the baseball and softball fields construction.

The recreation complex idea was first conceived over 10 years ago to provide recreation opportunities for all ages in a modern and safe setting. The goal of BRAG has been to construct a facility that has the necessary infrastructure to meet the needs of Bridgton citizens for many years. Once completed, the complex will include two Cal Ripken baseball fields, a Babe Ruth baseball field and a softball field. There will be two soccer fields, basketball courts with shared tennis surface, a playground and concessions stand. The group will seek funding for lights to accommodate evening activities. Like many rural towns, Bridgton has limited resources for organized recreation and its citizens overwhelmingly supported receiving the project upon its completion.

“This is a wonderful opportunity, not only for our program, but for the children who play the game,” said Bill Macdonald, BRAG president.

These funds allow BRAG to design and construct top quality baseball and softball fields to meet the needs of recreation programs.

“The Baseball Tomorrow Fund appreciates BRAG’s commitment to youth baseball and softball in its community. We are pleased to support the continued growth of this program,” added Cathy Bradley, executive director of the Baseball Tomorrow Fund.

Other major supporters of the project include the Kendal BRAG, Page A

Peace Corps volunteers to serve as parade marshals

(Continued from Page A) third goal of the Peace Corps — which is helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

The Peace Corps’ first goal is helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women, while the second goal is helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.

Sally said Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan in 1960 to serve their country in the cause of peace. After his election, President Kennedy established the Peace Corps on March 1, 1961. Since then, over 200,000 Americans have served in 139 countries working in the areas of education, health, busi-

ness development, environment, agriculture and youth development.

Many RPCVs from all over the country will converge on Washington, D.C., in September for a national celebration of the 50th anniversary off the Peace Corps.

Nancylou Stiles joined the Peace Corps later in life than most people.

“It was one of the few good decisions I made in my life,” she said. “I remember when President Kennedy announced it. I wanted to go in, but I was too young — yet, it kept tugging at my heart. Then, I had a family and kids, and I couldn’t do it. I was 57 years old, when I joined the Peace Corps in 2001.

I didn’t think an old broad could learn a new language,”

BRAG grant

(Continued from Page A) C. and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation and the Town of Bridgton. The Bridgton Recreation Advancement Group is still accepting in-kind and monetary contributions.

Those interested in donating to the project may contact Bill Macdonald at 653-7676.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2009, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund is designed to promote the growth of youth baseball and softball throughout the world by awarding grants to support field renovation and construction projects, equipment and uniform purchases, coaches’ training material and other selected program expenses.

Since its formation by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association in 1999, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund has awarded over 400 grants totaling more than $16 million to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations in the United States, Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. Approximately 180,000 youth players have benefited from programs and facilities supported by the fund.

The Baseball Tomorrow Fund receives approximately 500 applications each year and awards grants on a quarterly basis after a selective review process.

BRAG began in 1998 with the mission of building a state of the art, community recreation complex to benefit the families of Bridgton. Currently, over 100 children play baseball and softball on one town-owned field and two school fields. BRAG developed the Iron Kids competition, The Great Western 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament and a One Pitch Softball Tournament. It is the goal of the organization to work closely with the recreation director, to attract baseball, basketball and soccer tournaments in order to keep the complex self-sustaining.

The BRAG Board of Directors wishes to thank everyone that has donated time and treasure to this magnificent project and ask for your continued support.

she said, flashing her characteristic sunny smile.

“The people of Ecuador are so happy,” Nancylou said.

“They are very connected to their religion. They don’t know if they’re going to eat tomorrow, or if their kids will live tomorrow, but they’re so happy inside themselves. They are so willing to share what they have.”

Nancylou said she taught English in Ywhokumpo, Ecuador, which means “mouth of the river.”

“My program was animal husbandry, because I had been living on a farm in Sweden, Maine,” said Nancylou. “A lot of the animals in Ecuador are sick, and they have no refrigeration and they don’t know how to get their animals to produce. I also ran women’s empowerment programs in the community.”

“My only regret is that I didn’t do it earlier in my life,” Nancylou said of her Peace Corps experience. “One of the hardest things was coming back to this country. It made me realize that we, in this country, are so privileged, yet are so ignorant of that. We take so much for granted — it has changed my perspective.”

Joanne Morse was a junior in college, when President Kennedy was assassinated in November, 1963.

What prompted Joanne to join the Peace Corps?

“I was a kid out of college,” Joanne said, who served in Tanzania with her husband Earl.

“In college, there was a big Peace Corps presence — it seemed exciting — a valuable thing and a good thing to do,” said Joanne. “The idea of doing something for the nation that wasn’t soldiering, but still an outreach to the rest of the world, was a change of thought that was very appealing. The appreciation for President Kennedy was worldwide — people had a real feeling that he stood for something good in the world.”

Joanne and Earl Morse have been married for 47 years.

“Joanne and I got married, because of the Peace Corps,” Earl Morse said. “I was taking the Peace Corps exam, and I looked across the room and there she was. Eight months

later, we got married. The only way the Peace Corps would put people in the same place was if they were married, so it was trial by fire,” said Earl, chuckling aloud. “We were in a different culture, trying to learn a different language, and trying to learn what marriage was all about — and she stuck with me.

It worked — the whole thing worked. It was a life-changing experience — it changed everything.”

“He stuck with me, too,” Joanne said.

She said she also learned in the Peace Corps that what you think of as necessities aren’t.

“What you think is necessary isn’t — you know you’re in the Peace Corps, when you have a jar of peanut butter and a roll of toilet paper,” said Joanne.

Jon Chappell said the RPCVs typically meet quarterly.

The Peace Corps’ effect has continued to ripple through the lives of those who served.

“When people committed to these great ideas get together, other great things happen,” Joanne said.

Ernie Kozun said he joined the Peace Corps “right out of college,” having been inspired

by President Kennedy’s invitation to serve.

“JFK influenced many young people, at that time,” said Ernie.

“I wanted to do something to serve my country, and I ended up going to Uganda in East Africa. We were the first Peace Corps group to do in-country training. I spent a couple of days in Philadelphia getting processed and then shipped out to Uganda. That was a real culture shock. They are beautiful people in Uganda — and they call Uganda ‘the Switzerland of East Africa’ — it’s beautiful country.

Idi Amin was dictator — I met him at a state breakfast where he was the guest of honor.”

Ernie said he grew up in cities, so living in the rural areas of southern Uganda was quite a unique experience for him.

“Living in the countryside changed my perspective for the rest of my life — I never lived in the city again,” said Ernie.

He performed community service work at a rehabilitation facility for handicapped individuals.

Bridgton Farmers' Market

“We taught them how to make crafts to sell at tourist centers,” he said.

Ernie then made a statement that was echoed by others in the RPCV group.

“They taught me more than I could teach them,” Ernie said of the Ugandan people he came to know and respect.

Nancylou said Henry Hamilton “was instrumental in getting me excited” about joining the Peace Corps. Henry said he was “Bridgton’s UPS man for 10 years.”

“We have the same story as Earl and Joanne,” Henry Hamilton said of his marriage to second wife, Shirley. “It was a contract marriage. At the end of our first year of marriage, I realized I knew my second wife better than my first wife and was closer to her than my first wife.

Shirley and I will be celebrating 25 years of marriage, this summer.”

Henry said he turned 18 years old in 1962, but was told “you have to have certain skills to join the Peace Corps.”

“They told me to get those skills and come back,” he said.

Having served in an intelligence position for the military, Henry said he was not allowed to serve in the Peace Corps until 20 years after his service ended.

“So, 20 years later, I was single and I applied again,” said Henry. “One of the ladies I went in with was Shirley.” The rest, as they say, is history.

Henry said he has had the wonderful opportunity “of working all over the world.”

“The Peace Corps opened the door,” said Henry.

Jon and Sally Chappell were newlyweds, when they became Peace Corps volunteers — however, Sally said it was Jon who suggested it.

“I didn’t want to go in the Peace Corps — he wanted to,” Sally said.

“I wanted to go in,” said Jon. “More of an influence on me was 1968 and RFK (when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in June and Martin Luther King Jr. was killed two months before that). I said, ‘There’s got

to be a better way’ — so, the Peace Corps sounded good.”

The Chappells served in Sierra Leone, from 1974 through 1976.

“We taught in Freetown, the capitol city,” Jon said. “I taught math in high school and Sally taught in an elementary school.

The ironic thing about that was she went in at 7 a.m. and got back around 1 p.m., and I went at 1:30 p.m. and got back at 7 p.m. So, for two people newly married, we saw each other for lunch.”

Yet, Sally doesn’t regret joining the Peace Corps one bit.

“This changed the focus of my life,” she said. “I never intended to go in, but it changed my perspective. It was my first brush observing dire poverty.”

“Neither of us would have done it without the other,” said Jon. “I agree,” Sally said. “I couldn’t have done it without him.”

Locally, any RPCVs who would like to meet and share their experiences are invited to call Joanne Morse at 583-6957 or Sally Chappell at 647-8154.

NPL fundraiser going to the birds

ANGEL HONORED — Kappy Sprenger (right), a Bridgton Hospital Volunteer Angel, was recently recognized for reaching the milestone of 500 hours of service at the hospital. She volunteers with Karen Mentus, left, coordinator of the Prescription Assistance Program, which provides assistance for patients throughout the region that cannot afford their medications.

Ms. Sprenger was presented her 500-hour service pin and an herbal planter. For details about the Volunteer Angels, check out www.bridgtonhospital.org or contact Pamela Smith, director of Development and Community Relations at 647-6055.

Fryeburg safety grant FRYEBURG — The town of Fryeburg has received a $207.85 Safety Enhancement Grant awarded by the Maine Municipal Association. The grant offers financial incentives to members of the Maine Municipal Association Workers Compensation Fund.

These grants are used to buy safety equipment or services that assist in reducing the frequency and severity of workplace injuries.

Improving workplace safety for town employees saves taxpayers’ money by reducing lost hours at work, cost of insurance claims and overtime expenses for employees who might have to fill in for injured co-workers.

MMA has been awarding the grants since 1999, giving more than $2.14 million through funding of 1,658 Safety Enhancement Grants and 339 Scholarship Grants. Ed MacDonald, MMA’s Loss Control Manager, said the program received 131 applications for this grant period and $150,724.18 was awarded.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — This summer’s fundraiser for the Naples Public Library is going to the birds.

When people visit the library, they will discover birdhouses perched above the bookshelves.

There are also a few homes for bats, which some people like to encourage to stay on their property for the flying mammal’s bug-eating abilities. No need to flinch: the bat homes are vacant.

The crime-fighting duo is brought to comic-book-like life. Batman is caught in midflight on a bat house, and Robin provides an eyeshot of color on a painted birdhouse.

Area artists embellished almost two-dozen birdhouses and a handful of bat houses, and those will be auctioned off at NPL’s fundraiser on Aug. 13.

Local artists came out of the woodwork, according Naples resident Andrea Dacko, who serves on the library’s board of trustees and also painted a birdhouse for the auction.

“You might not know that someone who drives a truck or mows lawns or is pushing a shopping cart next to you is an

Take part in the hunt

The stores of downtown Bridgton are participating in a promotion in which customers can win a prize if they find the hidden treasure.

Along with her “Bridgton is for the Birds” campaign, which sought to make store windows more attractive, Bridgton resident Ingrid von Kannewurff has launched “Bridgton’s Treasure Hunt” to help stores generate more traffic. Customers have to answer a question about something inside a store. The more participating stores they visit, the better their chances of winning.

Participating stores include Bridgton Books, Renys, Picket Fence Gallery and Winterford Gallery. For more information, call von Kannewurff at 647-5389.

Raymond resident Carol Hines was inspired by nature when she embellished this birdhouse, which will be auctioned off on Aug. 13 to raise money for the Naples Public Library.

artist. Most artists have ‘regular’ jobs, and don’t make a living doing art,” Dacko said. “But, there is incredible artistic talent in this community.”

When one of the artists dropped off her finished product, Dacko said the woman commented on how enjoyable it was to bring the birdhouse to life since as an art teacher, she often doesn’t have time to delve into her own artwork. The library’s fundraiser was a great excuse to do that.

While Dacko admitted to procrastinating on the springtime project, her husband went right to work and kept his progress a secret from her until it was nearly finished.

He relied upon his woodworking skills and dollhouse supplies to complete his birdhouse: putting in miniature windows with shutters, installing a tiny door, and adding shingles to the roof.

“He also does mineral collecting. He made the chimney from Maine tourmaline,” she said.

Meanwhile, Dacko, whose medium is typically watercolor painting, adjusted to working with acrylic paints.

“As a watercolor artist, I had to approach it differently than a watercolor painting. With watercolors, you work from your lightest colors to your darkest.

With acrylic painting, you work from the darkest colors forward to the lighter colors,” Dacko said. “It is a good way to illustrate how your mindset has to change when working with different mediums.”

She added that for artists who paint on a flat surface, the round birdhouse presented its own set of challenges.

Another artist, Cindy Martin, acknowledged the mental switchover from watercolors to acrylics, as well as accommodating for the 3-D surface.

As she studied the unfinished birdhouse, Martin saw a fence pattern rise from the wooden slats, and envisioned tulips growing against that picket fence.

“When I started painting, the

“I think it would be good to have communication back and forth and know what’s going on,” said Hoyt.

“I agree — we should meet and have everyone know what’s going on,” LeBlanc said.

Sewage Committee recommendations Bridgton Sewage Committee member Ray Turner said Tuesday night that the committee members think the town should consider forming a Sewer District to address current infrastructure issues and future expansion of the sewer system that serves portions of the downtown area.

Turner and Mark Hatch serve on the Bridgton Sewage Committee, and a new member, Bear Zaidman, was recently appointed to the committee by the selectmen.

Additionally, Turner explained, “We have about a 73% failure rate of the 11 tanks,” as to inflow and infiltration.

“You have a remarkable Sewage Ordinance,” Turner told the five selectmen, which spells out that leaking septic tanks owned by municipal sewer users are the responsibility of the property owner.

“Out of 11 (tanks), seven failed,” said Turner, “But no one’s taking any action.”

One major problem is a crack in a PVC pipe that is located under the pavement of Lower Main Street, according to Turner.

“One other source of inflow and infiltration is a section of sewer line on Lower Main Street, which was identified when the sewage system was video taped, to have a longitudinal crack where the line had settled,” Turner reported. “This area of Lower Main Street is know for its high water table.”

Turner said his information is based on a draft report on inflow and infiltration prepared in February of this year by the Portland firm of Wright-Pierce.

“Our recommendation is that all of the septic tanks be excavated and inspected and a report given to the property owners,” Turner stated.

He said that the draft report shows that out of 11 septic tanks inspected, eight were determined to be a “significant Inflow and Infiltration contributor” or 73% of the tanks do not meet the requirements of Section 5 of the Sewage Ordinance. Turner went on to explain that the Sewage Ordinance “requires that the building owner is the responsible party for maintenance of systems on his property.”

The Sewage Committee is recommending that three additional items should be addressed, as well: • Installation of discharge filters on all existing and new installations to prevent solid carry over into the town’s system; SMUTTY NOSE • Require all restaurants to TASTING provide proof that grease traps THURS., 6/30 have been cleaned at required 4-6 P.M. intervals; and • The Town of Bridgton should provide, through a yearly bidding process, an approved septic tank cleaner and inspector to service tanks installed on the existing system.

“The cost of this service INC. would be the responsibility of the user,” Turner said, “and SPECIALTY the type of use would deterBEER mine the frequency of cleaning & WINE and inspection.”

WATERFORD — Space is still available for those innovative artists and artisans who would like to exhibit their unique works, at the Waterford World’s Fair in mid-July.

Artists, sculptors, metalsmiths, potters, soap makers and other artisans interested in displaying their wares at the Waterford World’s Fair that runs from July 15 through 17 are invited to contact Vendor Coordinator Terry Swett at 650-1057, or e-mail him at terry@swettsigns.com

you are overpaying by several thousand a year, you should get a dividend,” Chalmers’ Philip Allen said.

The selectmen were given the insurance material a couple weeks ago, giving board members time to review information and formulate questions prior to the vote.

In other business: • The board approved advertising for auditing services. Prior to that vote, selectmen looked over a draft of the requests for proposals (RFPs) that audit companies would submit as part of the bid process.

The bid is for a 3-year contract, but it would be reviewed once a year if the board so desired, Morton said.

• The board voted 31-1 for the Animal Control Committee to begin developing an animal-control policy.

Chairman Barbara York opposed the motion, while Selectman Paul Edes abstained. The board wanted the committee to get cost estimates on some of the recommendations, including training for volunteers and leasing a horse trailer on a needsbasis to recover loose livestock or horses.

• As requested by the board, Morton supplied selectmen with a map of town-owned parcels. No motion was made.

The Open Space Commission has been doing site walks of the properties, and meets again on July 18. The plan is for the

commission to report to the board in August, and provide recommendations on which parcels would be suitable for sale (being offered to abutting property owners) and which pieces of land the town should retain for future use.

House tours

CASCO — What makes a house a home? It may be a spacious master suite, a modern efficient kitchen, a cozy family room or the perfect location. The Casco Library Benefit House Tour, set for Saturday, July 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will offer you a chance to visit six local families who have transformed their houses into comfortable homes.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to provide additional educational programs and learning experiences for children and adults in the local area.

Six families will open their homes and, in some cases, their gardens for this guided tour.

Advance tickets are available for $20 (Adult) and $15 (Seniors) at the Casco Public Library, 5 Leach Hill Road on the common in Casco. Tickets can also be purchased on the day of the tour at the library. A brochure will be provided on the day of the tour with a map showing the location of each of the homes.

Artists sought for fair

dividend pay-outs.

“Once the year closes out and claims have been paid, some goes forward to future claims, and you get money back,” said Marcus Ballou, MMA’s senior member services representative for risk management.

The town got $1300 back last year, and Casco could expect a $1500 dividend this year, Ballou told the board during Tuesday’s meeting.

To determine the value of the town’s property, Ballou said an employee sits down with Town Manager Dave Morton and fills out paperwork that takes into consideration every item the town owns.

“I work with Dave every year, and we go over a form to get the values of all contents.

We work hand-in-hand to get values, we don’t assign them,” he said, adding a computer program aids with consistency.

Also, as required by law, the town would take out insurance bonds on all employees who handle funds. Town employees’ personal vehicles would be covered – to the extent that MMA would pay the deductible on the vehicle coverage, if a staff member were involved in an accident during work hours.

Chalmers Insurance Group, based in Bridgton, also provided the board with its proposal and an annual policy costing $23,983.

operas, plays and musical programs starring a lofty list of notables including Arthur Treacher, Ethel Barrymore, Rudy Vallee and a host of others, graced the stage at Deertrees. Following Dilly’s death in 1946, the theater was inactive until New York attorney A.L. Saines took over production responsibilities in 1949.

In 1953, Deertrees was sold to Sherwood Keith, a famous actor and director, who brought community-theater groups from throughout New England to the Deertrees stage. Various others, including Emerson College, owned or leased the theatre in the years that followed.

Occasionally it was closed for an entire season or more.

Though many professional and local stars signed the dressing room wall, the theatre fell on hard times in the 1980s and landed in the town’s hands.

There are tales of the building being at risk and its demise being imminent. Thankfully, Dr. Alan

Mills of Bridgton spearheaded an effort to save the building.

Through a capital campaign drive and grants from the Libra and Davis Foundations, restorations began.

In 1999, the Deertrees Foundation, a nonprofit organization, received the property deed from the town. To this day the foundation’s mission is to provide quality performing and visual arts to the lakes and western mountains region of Maine.

The ambiance of Deertrees is part of what makes it special. The rose hemlock ribs of the Adirondack-style structure were lumbered on site and provide fabulous acoustics. Handcarved fanlights, doors and trim add to the warm, cozy feeling of the space. Nestled in a parklike setting, at a quick glance, Deertrees still looks the same as it did in the 1930s.

star and director who is fondly known as Dilly, christens Deertrees Theatre with the following words: “Out of a life spent in music and drama, out of thinking on this beautifully wooded hill, out of this spot of woods and rocky pasture, has come the moment…”

The gala opening of Deertrees includes dramatic readings from Caponsacchi and Cyrano de Bergerac by renowned actor Walter Hampden. On August 20, the first operatic concert debuts here featuring Eleanor Steele, soprano, Hal Clovis, tenor and Frederick Bristol, piano.

A few years later, Bela Blau, a noted producer, collaborates with Dilly and in 1939, in the spirit of summer stock theatre, he begins importing entire Broadway casts to produce a new play with new stars each week during the eight-week theater season. **************** Over the course of years,

Sebago-Long Lake music festival

HARRISON — The SebagoLong Lake Music Festival will return to historic Deertrees Theatre in Harrison for its 39th season of presenting outstanding chamber music on Tuesday evenings during July and August.

Concerts will be performed on July 12, 19, 26 and Aug. 2 and 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Deertrees Theatre is well known for its beautiful woodland setting and for its excellent acoustics. This series offers concertgoers the opportunity to hear music at its best, played by the best.

Laurie Kennedy, in her 26th year as music director, has designed a series of concerts with something for all musical tastes. She has again gathered together brilliant musicians — principal chairs in orchestras from Maine to California, performers in renowned festivals in this country and abroad, and recording artists. Many have returned year after year, to the joy of Festival audiences.

Here’s this summer’s lineup: July 12: The season opener “Hungarian Connection” will feature works by Kodaly, Bartok, Liszt, and Brahms.

Hungarian music will include Kodaly’s Intermezzo for String Trio; Bartok’s Duos for Two Violins, performed by the sparkling husband and wife team, Movses Pogossian and Varty Manouelian; Bartok’s virtuosic Rhapsody No. 1 for Violin and Piano; and Liszt’s Forgotten Romance for Viola and Piano, featuring Laurie Kennedy. Concluding the program is Brahms’ Piano Quartet in G Minor, with the famous Hungarian inspired “Gypsy rondo.” Special guests are acclaimed Maine artists, pianist Yuri Funahashi and cellist Joel Noyes. If you enjoy folk tunes, lyricism, passion, the flash and fire of the Hungarian style, this concert is for you.

July 19: “Voice of the Whale,” a 1971 work by American composer George Crumb was inspired by recordings of the sounds of humpback whales. The piano, cello, and flute are played in unexpected ways to reproduce the sounds

of the whales. Theatrical stage lighting creates an oceanic environment and masks on the performers minimize the human element.

Also on this program are Beethoven’s String Quartet in E Flat Major, the Harp, and the masterful Piano Trio by Rebecca Clark, a composer who struggled to be recognized during her lifetime, but who has gained considerable stature since her death in 1976.

This appealing concert covers a wide variety of musical styles.

The virtuosity of flutist Susan Rotholz is not to be missed.

July 26: “Mahler Remembered” is presented in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Gustav Mahler’s death and includes Mahler’s Piano Quartet Movement in A Minor, and two fascinating arrangements, which were created in Mahler’s native Vienna shortly after his death. The first is Claude Debussy’s haunting Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, arranged for twelve instruments. The main work will be a full-length performance of Mahler’s lush, gorgeous Symphony No. 4 in G Major, arranged for twelve instruments and voice.

World-renowned soprano Lisa Saffer will sing the solo vocal part. The group includes Theodore Baskin, acclaimed Principal Oboe of the Montreal Symphony. This is an exciting program and a rare opportunity to hear these intimate settings of well-loved orchestral works.

Aug. 2: The fourth concert, “Wind Song” will offer music for the lovers of winds and voice, as well as strings and piano. This program marks the return of a very popular Festival artist, violinist Philip Palermo, who has been absent since 2006. He will lead the opening number — Mozart’s beautiful String Quartet in B Flat Major.

Soprano Lisa Saffer will delight the audience with two Schubert songs with piano and clarinet.

A quintet by romantic Czech composer Zdenek Fibich, written for the unusual combination of piano, clarinet, horn, violin, and cello, will guarantee an exciting conclusion to the concert. The wind performers are

Carmelo Galante on clarinet and William Purvis on French horn.

Aug. 9: The fifth and final concert, “Full Circle,” will offer works from three major musical periods. Haydn’s Piano Trio in G Major, from the classical era, with its popular “Gypsy rondo” last movement, brings us “full circle” from the opening concert of the series.

Shostakovich’s String Quartet No.3, composed in 1945, expresses the pain experienced in the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II. Finishing the concert and the season will be a quintessential romantic favorite — Schubert’s Piano Trio in B Flat Major, performed by the much anticipated SLLMF favorite combination of Mihae Lee, Timothy Lees, and Bonnie Thron. What could be finer!

Joys of Music: SLLMF musicians will present Discover the Joys of Live Music, at three different venues. The program, designed for ages 6 to 96, will include short classical selections, interactive audience participation, and a Maine premiere: “… and those seven dwarfs,” for string quartet and narrator, by 30-year-old Connecticut composer Ryan Jesperson.

Moore at Brick Church LOVELL — It is rare and wonderful to hear Dan Moore in a solo concert.

To experience his keyboard magic, admirers usually have to journey to the Mt. Washington Hotel, where he has played since 1999, and listen through the clatter and chatter of dining guests. But on Thursday, July 7, the Brick Church for the Performing Arts in Lovell will once again present Moore to his fans in its quiet space with excellent acoustics.

Moore will bring his harpsichord and move from harpsichord to piano as he weaves a musical story from the early years of keyboard composition

down to modern — and often playful — piano works. With unusual facility he pours his soul into Bach, then graduates through classics and romantics to boogie woogie; he loves to evoke the old-time “rent parties” when Fats Waller made the piano jump. “It’s a good way to spin the story, as the evening goes on,” he comments.

“Moving to pop helps the audience avoid ‘museum fatigue’ — which happens even in concerts.” He creates programs by the same rules he offers to student soloists: “Surprise the listener — including yourself!”

Although he specialized in the organ at the Boston

Monday, July 4 The ever-popular 4th of July Children’s Parade begins at 9:30 a.m. from the Main Building of Fryeburg Academy. The parade will proceed down Main Street to Bradley Park, where there will be free entertainment of live music, play, prizes and contests. For more information, call Katie Malia at 935-8946 or Jean Andrews at 925-1163.

The 4 on the Fourth Road Race takes off in downtown Bridgton in the morning, followed by a concert and fireworks at night.

Thursday, July 7 through Saturday, July 9 Harrison’s Old Home Days Festival this year is packed with fireworks, carnival rides, local treats and entertainment. A 5K-road race that starts at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, gets things going fast.

Conservatory, Moore loves the unique qualities of different keyboard instruments and styles, and he plays them all.

In his youth he played hymns in Sunday school, but also performed in rock bands, high school musicals, and as accompanist to a chorus. (He still regularly accompanies the Choral Arts Society in Portland.)

“You have to be willing to tinker on any instrument you play,” he says, although he admits that he will tune a piano “only in self-defense.”

“Tinker,” however, is an excessively modest word. He built his own harpsichord.

That achievement gives just a hint of Dan Moore’s surprising mechanical abilities. When he moved to Maine in 1986, he seized the opportunity to fulfill another of his life’s ambitions: he studied aircraft mechanics, and earned his A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) license. In an interesting sideline to his musical career, he now restores older planes, sometimes in his own barn. He also repairs appliances around the house, evoking his family’s now-traditional compliment: “See what you can do when you have a license!”

On Thursday, July 7, at 7:30 p.m., the piano will already be in tune, and Dan Moore will be presenting his own wonderful brand of eclectic keyboard story at the Brick Church for the Performing Arts on Christian DAN MOORE to “Surprise the Listener” at the Brick Church Hill Road in Lovell. Tickets (at for the Performing Arts in Lovell on Thursday, July 7 at 7:30 the door) will be $10 for adults, p.m. $5 for children under 12.

Gould at BPL Author Deborah Gould of Brunswick will read from her first novel, Household, at the Bridgton Public Library on Wednesday, July 6, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.

Gould grew up in Maine, and has worked as an editorial assistant, then, in turn, worked on a dairy farm, in printing and graphic arts, and in educational interpreting and English language acquisition for students with cochlear implants.

Household was published by Reck House in May 2011. It is a story of a woman caught up in an increasingly violent pattern of domestic abuse; a woman whose only relief comes from researching, imagining and identifying with the family that lived a hundred years ago in the house she now shares with her abuser.

For years, Margaret has tormented herself, asking what she

Bridgton

did wrong this time to trigger Lee’s explosive anger. She hides the fact and implications of her situation even from family and friends, drawing strength instead from the long-distant past, until at last she understands enough to break free.

According to Joan Zorza, editor of the Domestic Violence Newsletter, and over 200 books and articles, “Household is a riveting story of increasing intimate partner violence, and Margaret’s unfolding recognition of Lee’s dangerousness. As most victims discover, it is her partner’s continual criticisms, threats, coercive control, and isolation that are far more destructive than any physical violence. To survive, Margaret must escape the hold of her house, including the generations of families who lived there before her, and recognize the wise advice of her few remaining friends.”

Be creative on Independance Day You don’t have to be from Fryeburg to participate; just be a kid at heart.

Independence Day gives all the chance to be inventive creatively. Put together a float with original ideas or just make a costume and join in the march down Main Street. For businesses along the parade route, decorating your storefront in the good old American colors of red, white and blue could win you the “Spirit Award.” Following the parade, there will be activities at Bradley Park which include games, music, contests and prizes.

One of the contests will be the “Patriotic Pie Contest.”

This is a chance to be really creative while making a pie that looks patriotic. This contest is open to people of all ages that can follow the guidelines. The judges will be looking for and scoring for Overall Appearance, Filling, Crust, Interpretation of the Theme and Originality. Each pie must have a typed or printed index card with the pie recipe.

In order to take part you must pre-register by July 1, one pie per person, and that person can not be a professional chef or cook — amateurs only. The day of the parade, the pies must be delivered to Bradley Park between 10:30 to 11 a.m. in a disposable container. To register, contact Jean Andrews at 925-1163 or frogalley@fairpoint.net.

The committee still could use some help, so if you’d like to volunteer, contact either Jeans Andrews or Katie Malia at 935-8946 or klmalia@hotmail. com. Remember, anyone can take part and have a great time.

Happy Independence Day to all.

Don’t forget the Lions Club July 4th breakfast at the North Lovell Grange Hall beginning at 7 a.m. Also, on the same day, there will be the Lewis Dana Hill Memorial Library Yard and Book sale, beginning at 8 a.m.

There will be a Fourth of July Children’s Parade in Fryeburg starting at 10 a.m. from the main building of Fryeburg Academy. This annual Fryeburg event has become popular, as it kicks off the summer season.

The Kezar Lake Watershed Association will be holding the annual membership meeting on Saturday, July 9, at the V.F.W. Hall on Smarts Hill Road. Please note that the venue has been changed due to work being done at the United Church of Christ.

There will be a coffee and donut hour beginning at 8:45 a.m., with the business meet-

ing following at 9:30 a.m. The guest speaker for the meeting will be Maggie Shannon, who is the executive director of the Congress of Lake Associations.

Everyone is invited to attend to hear the speaker and the updated reports on the health of Kezar and surrounding lakes, which are so important to our communities.

The 3rd Annual Tee for Two Charitable Fundraiser Golf Tournament start was debatable, but after a short shower the competition got underway.

A well-fed golfer plays better and the committee made sure the participants had a great continental breakfast and goodies during play. The shotgun start took off at 8 a.m. and the 76 entrants made it a good day.

This tournament was started as a way to help cancer patients receiving treatment at

Bridgton Hospital. The name Tee for Two signifies two specific cancers, breast and prostate, which are prevalent in any community. Having cancer isn’t fun, but when people like the Tee for Two Committee step up to help, it makes it easier.

Upon completion of the tournament the golfers were treated to an array of hors d’oeuves and a sit-down dinner. Once everyone finished dinner, the awards were given out. The first award was Closest to the Pin on #5, which was won by Terry Holden. He received two rounds of golf at Bridgton Highlands. None of the ladies hit the green so this hole was a roll over to the loser’s drawing. Closest to the Hole on #16 for the ladies was Meghan Nyberg and received a #3 Hybrid and for the men Mike Woodside who received

Best Prime Rib In Town King & Queen Cut Includes pot., veg., salad & rolls

a 60-degree lob wedge.

The last awards were the team awards. The first place team for Low Net and a prize of $240 went to Kay and Lenny Desmarais and Sue and Alan Leck. Second place went to Donna and Gary MacDonald and Carole and Leo Trahan — a prize of $120. Both prizes were donated back to the fundraiser. The first place Low Gross was a battle because of a four-way tie. Only after the scorers went back four holes were the winners determined.

The team of John Chandler, Dan Lalone, Don Neidetcher and Cliff Abbott won $240.

Second place with a prize of $120 went to Russell Know, Dick Goss, Tim George and Jerry Labbe.

Once the awards were concluded, the Silent Auction was held, and 27 donated items went to the highest bidders.

With the frantic bidding the auction took in $1,600. There was also a special raffle of five cooked lobsters from the Center Lovell Market, which was won

by Gerri Foulds. None of the effort put into this tournament was difficult because the people putting on the “show” did it out of compassion for the people the money raised will help. The committee and volunteers know nothing could be accomplished without the help and generous donations from the local golf courses and the local business. A great job was done by all.

Congratulations to Aimee and T.J. Herlihy on the birth of their daughter, Chloe Faith Herlihy. Chloe was born at North Conway Memorial Hospital on June 15 at 9:53 p.m., weighing in at 8 pounds and 11 ounces and measuring 21 1/2-inches long. Greeting their new baby sister are brothers Bryson 2, Hunter, 10, Jack, 10 and sister Mackenzie, 12.

Maternal grandparents are Debbie and Mike Santa Maria of Center Conway, N.H. and Lou Gagnon of Fryeburg.

Maternal great-grandparents are Patty and Doug Swett of East Conway, N.H., Charlie and Polly Rogers of Orange, Mass., and Pauline and Angelo Santa Maria of Center Conway, N.H. Paternal grandparents are Rette Herlihy of North Conway, N.H. and Michael Herlihy of Marblehead, Mass.

COME HOOP, COME DRUM, HAVE FUN — Waterford artist Rusty Wiltjer makes the drums, and Deb Bain makes the hoops. Both will be on hand in abundance each Sunday at Highland Lake Beach in Bridgton, when a new “Sunset Drum Circle Gathering” of hooping, drumming and dancing happens each Sunday from 6 p.m. until sunset.

Sunset drum circle gathering

Come drum — hoop — dance — to the sun setting over beautiful Highland Lake in Bridgton, every Sunday from 6 p.m. until sunset. Hooping has returned as a popular craze in towns and cities across America, and combined with drumming, makes for a fun and energizing experience.

Hooping began its resurgence in the mid-1990s, showing up at underground dance community events and raves.

Hooping is way more fun than the hula hooping you remember as a child, because the bigger and heavier the hoop, the slower it rotates around your body. This means that even if you think you can’t hoop, with one of these hoops, you can.

Everybody can hoop, regardless of age, size, or sense of rhythm. When you’re using a customized hoop that’s four feet in diameter, the rotation is slow enough that even clumsy amateurs can keep the hoop going — and it’s not too hard to get into dancing and even doing tricks.

Deb Bain of Bridgton makes such hoops, both weighted and

unweighted, with a variety of colorful tape and sparkles. They are made out of black cold water pipe. Bain said hooping is big in Portland, and is working its way north; a hooping gathering on the Portland Promenade drew 38 people recently.

There will always be extra drums/percussion and tons of hoops to use at the gatherings; however, you are encouraged to bring your own drum/hoop/ flute/voice. Everyone is welcome to join in and have lots of fun. The first session is this Sunday, July 3.

Special day for seniors Senior Citizen Day at the Waterford Fair will be held on

Two young parishioners of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Emily Cassidy and Anthony James Triglione, Jr., were recently presented Continuing Education Awards to further their education by the St. Joseph’s Women’s Guild.

Emily is the daughter of Dennis and Cindy Cassidy, and will be a third-year nursing student at the University of Maine at Fort Kent this fall. She received the Dean’s List honor for her first two years.

Emily will receive her BSN in May 2013, and is looking forward to furthering her education as a nurse practitioner, with a concentration in geriatrics. She is a member of the stu-

dent nursing organization, and is actively involved in the community of Fort Kent working for a home health care group.

She is a former altar server (from grade 3 to 12) and has been a Faith Formation Teacher, a youth member of the Parish Council, and helped with the Thanksgiving baskets.

She will receive $2,000. She is a graduate of Lake Region High School. Her passion and dedication for people has helped her accomplish her goals thus far, and the church looks forward to observing her complete her education.

Anthony is the son of Anthony and Kristine Triglione, and grandson of Selectman

“Now that I’ve started making these critters, I just can’t stop,” said the nonagenarian pointing to a small workshop in a corner of his apartment. “It takes me about a day to finish a bird, so I can probably keep up with demand.”

Peter Bollen, a longtime Friend, observed, “Russell’s whirlybirds make inexpensive and unique gifts.”

The Friends raise money to help the Bridgton Public Library accomplish its important mission throughout the year.

WATERFORD — The Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District has teamed up with the Waterford World’s Fair to bring a day of fun and education to area recreation department, home school and camp youth.

Children will get an opportunity to go through an array of hands-on events including Animal Husbandry, Aquatics, Bee Keeping, Butter Making, Forestry, Petting Zoo, Rocks & Minerals and many more. This is a wonderful opportunity for children between the ages 5 and 12 to explore something new and learn about the world around them.

The date for this event is Friday, July 15 and the time will be from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The schedule will be set up in blocks of time allowing each youth group to spend approximately 15 minutes at each Learning Station. The children will receive a program and map at the beginning of the day which includes ques-

tions that must be answered and checked off at each station and at the end of the day they may present their completed program to receive prizes from area sponsors and businesses. Children may bring a bag lunch or the fair will provide a healthy lunch suitable for children at a special price for the day.

There is no cost beyond transporting the children to and from the fairgrounds. All groups must be accompanied by an adult. The fairgrounds will be kid-friendly for this day and a great deal of effort is being made to make sure the children have a memorable time. Call by July 1 if your child or organization would like to participate in this event. For more information, contact Jean Federico at the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District, 17 Olson Road, Suite 3, South Paris, ME 04281, phone 7435789, ext. 111 or e-mail at jean.federico@me.nacdnet.net

Lobster roll lunch DENMARK — It has been a favorite part of Denmark’s Fourth of July celebration for years, and once again the Women’s Fellowship of the Denmark Congregational Church will be holding their lobster roll lunch this year.

Right after the Fourth of July parade, people make a beeline for the community center at the town hall for one of the best, homemade lobster rolls you’ll ever taste. For $12, diners get a lobster roll stuffed to overflowing with fresh, succulent lobster meat, plus chips, coleslaw, a cold drink and a piece of homemade pie. Hot dog lunches are also available for $6.

Come early because these annual treats are always a sell-out.

Twenty-eight years ago, Rev. Phil and Faye Reynard stepped into an old Grange Hall on Pinhook Road and envisioned a church.

Today, Grace Christian Church is bursting at the seams and ready to expand.

For the past several years, this active little church has been using their limited space for Sunday Services, men’s and women’s Bible studies, youth events, missions and food ministry to the community. It has become clear that the time has come to add additional space onto the building.

Starting later this summer, GCC will begin building a multi-purpose and educational addition onto the current church facility located on 11 Pinhook Road in Bridgton. There will be fundraising events throughout the year to pay for the new addition. This space will allow enough room for extra seating on Sunday mornings, children’s activities, meetings, suppers and fun community events.

Grace CC is a wonderful community to be a part of and members would like to invite the public to join them this summer. In addition to the regular summer schedule, there will be events open to all. July 30 will be the church’s annual giant yard sale and bake sale.

Junior and senior high school youth events are planned for the summer. Make sure to add onto your calendar the Pig Roast set for Saturday, Sept. 3 at the

They continue their training at the International Taoist Tai Chi Center in Toronto and the National Taoist Tai Chi Center in Tallahassee, Fla. They helped establish the first Taoist Tai Chi Center in New England in North Conway, N.H. 20 years ago.

LOONS OF ALL KINDS — Beth Cossey, organizer of the Gallery 302 upcoming Loon Auction, is pictured here with some of the colorful loons painted by area artists. The auction is set for Friday, July 8 at the Bridgton gallery.

The loons are coming!

Laughing Loons, Fabuloons, Looney Tunes, Golfing Loons, “Fruit of the Loons,” Lamp Loons, elegant “On Golden Pond” loons … and even a “Ravin’-Loon-A-Tick” are currently on display at Gallery 302 in Bridgton.

Forty-five talented artists have transformed these wooden “dummies” into deliciously extravagant creations that may or may not have any relation to a loon.

The fun begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 8 at 112 Main Street in Bridgton for the second biennial auction supporting the Bridgton Art Guild.

A preview time replete with catered elegant food offerings and a cash bar begins the evening with the auction starting at 6:30 p.m.

The wild success of the

FISH auction in 2009 set high expectations for another gala starring the equally sumptuous LOONS. Mark your calendars and stop by the gallery for a peek at these tantalizing loons!

They are in Gallery 302 now!

“Community spirit is what’s really working here,” says Beth Cossey, the organizer of the event. “After a highly successful decorated fish auction two summers ago, it seemed logical to try loons since our Highland Lake is full of them. Large numbers of people turned out for the auction in 2009 and we are anticipating the same for 2011. It’s wonderful to see so much interest in the promotion of Gallery 302!”

The Loon Auction kicks off the Bridgton Art Guild’s new Capital Campaign and begins the busy summer of nine suc-

cessful years of bringing art to the Lake Region. Art in the Park is held the following weekend (July 16) at Highland Lake’s Shorey Park in Bridgton.

Art in Bloom and the Camper Show follow in close succession and are augmented this year by classes in the newly-installed Classroom 302.

Guest artists, monthly receptions, workshops, classes, and seminars keep the Guild and Gallery alive and entertaining for all ages.

Gallery 302 is a multimedia cooperative artisan gallery that opened in July 2003. It is under the auspices of the nonprofit Bridgton Art Guild, and welcomes donations to support community and the arts.

Gallery 302 is located at 112 Main Street in Bridgton, and is open seven days a week.

WINDHAM — A lively evening of music is expected at the Windham Hill UCC Church (140 Windham Center Road) as “Music On the Hill” proudly presents Mr. Don Roy and Company on Saturday, July 16!

This concert is the second in the series held each Saturday in July, starting at 7 p.m. Don Roy is a Franco-American ace fiddler who has been called the dean of Franco-American fiddling in Maine.

His group has graced the “Prairie Home Companion” radio show twice, Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. The Don Roy Trio consists of Don, his wife Cindy Roy, and acoustic bassist, Jay Young.

For the “Music On the Hill” concert, Mr. Larry Burkett also will be accompanying on the guitar. This concert will be foot-tapping good! Don Roy is a champion fiddler with depth in many styles of fiddling. Hailing from roots deep in the Maritimes and Quebec, the Roys’ musical passion lies with the French Canadian tradition followed closely by Celtic music.

Don, who also plays guitar, mandolin and banjo, has been playing since age 6. His uncle Norman Mathieu taught him how to play guitar, and he then accompanied another uncle, Lucien Mathieu, who taught him how to play fiddle at 15.

While growing up in Rockland, he was influenced by fiddlers such as Ben Guillemette, Joe and Gerry Robichaud, and Graham Townsend. The sounds of Quebec, Ireland, Ontario and the Maritime Provinces blend in his style of playing.

Mr. Roy has been a member of many successful groups including bluegrass, Irish, and French and directed the popular Maine French Fiddlers for its duration. He received Fellowship awards from the state of Maine in 1994 and 2001 for excellence in traditional music. His CD, “Thanks

On Aug. 15, 2011, Deertrees will host a gala party to commemorate that opening night. “The Afterburners,” a local band, will provide music for dancing under a tent. This catered

event will include a champagne toast in souvenir glasses, cash bar, party favors and an auction of Deertrees memorabilia.

Enrica Clay Dillon’s words at the opening continue to reflect what Deertrees is all about: “It would be so easy to commercialize the entire venture. It would be so easy to devote our efforts to productions that spell continuous box-office success.

Such success is essential, but to my mind chiefly as a means to an end: Deertrees Theatre must stand for the beautiful, the truly real, for fine work and for unwavering ideals.”

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS — Fryeburg Academy students (left to right) Camille Surrett, Samantha Kruguer and Kaila Gibbons are the recipients of Poland Spring Good Science Scholarships.

Good Science scholars

In keeping with its commitment to invest in Maine people, Poland Spring Water Company recently awarded 20 Good Science Scholarships to Maine high school seniors who are pursuing post-secondary education in science, engineering or the environment.

Each scholarship of $1,000 is meant to support the students as they continue on to the next stage of their academic career. Scholarships were given to five members of Fryeburg Academy’s Class of 2011.

“Congratulations to these impressive students for their academic achievements. Poland Spring is proud to invest in them and help educate Maine’s next generation of leaders in

the fields of science, engineering and the environment,” said Bill Maples, Poland Spring’s Hollis Plant manager.

Respect and responsibility for the environment is at the core of Poland Spring’s business, and a value the company works to pass on to the next generation of Maine stewards. To that end, in 2007 Poland Spring established the Good Science Scholarship program and has since awarded nearly $75,000 to high school seniors pursuing a degree in science, engineering or the environment.

Three of the five Fryeburg Academy students and their families attended a celebratory dinner at the Poland Spring bottling plant in Hollis. The

evening’s festivities included a guided tour of the bottling facility and an opportunity to meet plant staff and management.

The Fryeburg Academy scholarship recipients are: Kaila Gibbons of Denmark, to attend Northeastern University, major undecided; Samantha Kruguer of Brownfield, to attend Gordon College, to major in biology; Colby Locke of Denmark, to attend Ithaca College, to major in athletic physical science; Marya McLaughlin of Fryeburg, to attend Northern Arizona University, to major in Forensic Chemistry; Camille Surrett of Fryeburg, to attend Southern Maine Community College, to major in Zoology.

Earn St. Michael’s awards

Anthony Fagone of Naples and Sarah Small of Raymond, both students at St. Dominic Academy, were awarded the 2011 Saint Michael’s (Burlington, Vt.) College Book Award for Academic Achievement with a Social Conscience.

The award recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to leadership in volunteer service and academic achievement.

Saint Michael’s was founded on the belief that serving others is part of its Catholic tradition, and through the award seeks to honor those who demonstrate the true

spirit of volunteerism.

Award recipients, named at schools throughout the country, are high school juniors who are inductees of the National Honor Society or an equivalent schoolsponsored honors organization.

They must demonstrate a commitment to service activities in high school or community organizations, taking leadership roles in these activities.

Winners were presented the book, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (HarperCollins 2000)

by Loung Ung, a 1993 Saint

Michael’s College graduate who has become a widely acclaimed author. In First They Killed My Father, Ung gives a powerful autobiographical account, from a child’s perspective, of surviving captivity during the genocidal Pol Pot regime in Cambodia.

She reveals an indomitable spirit in the face of profound suffering, including the loss of both her parents and two of her siblings.

Ung has written a riveting memoir about a family’s survival, and in turn, about the development of Ung’s on-going crusade for a landmine free world.

and how to lay in and lift values rendered in graphite.”

Time to get out for hikes!

Join in the fun as wildflower enthusiast, Ursula Duvé, explores a quaking bog for the vibrant pink of nodding orchids, or as herbalist Kevin Pennell leads the second herb walk of the season to the wooded trails of Holt Pond!

If you are looking to get outside and enjoy the sunny days of summer sign up for one of the following Caplan Family Environmental Educational events, offered by Lakes Environmental Association!

Orchid Walk at Holt Pond with Ursula Duvé takes place SPECTACULAR PLANT LIFE including rose pogonia can on Wednesday, July 6 at 9 a.m. be seen during Lakes Environmental Association’s upcoming Step out onto the boardwalk spanning the quaking bog at hike at the Holt Pond quaking bog on Wednesday, July 9.

Holt Pond and explore for your-

self the flecks of color amongst the sphagnum moss. Native orchids bloom along the boardwalk for only a few weeks in the summers, so get out and enjoy them with the knowledgeable and cheerful, wildflower aficionado, Ursula Duvé.

Beyond orchids, participants may see the unique flowers of the carnivorous plants including Northern pitcher plants and sundews. This walk will cover easy to moderate terrain over forested trails and boardwalks and will last approximately two hours. Comfortable walking shoes, water, a snack, and binoculars are recommended.

The group will meet at 9 a.m. at LEA on Main Street in

Bridgton, before heading off to the Holt Pond Preserve. Fee: $5 per person; LEA members attend free of charge.

Herb Walk at Holt Pond with Kevin Pennell will be held on Thursday, July 7, at 9 a.m.

With the heavy rains of last Friday dampening the day, the Caplan Family Environmental Education Herb Walk was postponed to July 7 at 9 a.m.

The first herb walk led by Kevin Pennell this past spring was a great success! Pennell, a knowledgeable herbalist, guided a group of 12 people through Pondicherry Park explaining the uses and benefits of Jack-in-the-pulpit, partridge berry, and white pine.

Participants were also given the chance to test-taste the juicy, sweet flavors of Indian cucumber root, and the more bitter bite of watercress. This month, Kevin will be exploring herbs of the Holt Pond Preserve as he leads another group of willing explorers through the forested trails.

Participants in the herb walk should meet at LEA at 9 a.m. to sign in. The walk will last approximately two hours, and will cover easy to moderate terrain. Participants should wear comfortable hiking shoes as well as sunscreen and bug spray. Fee: $5 per person; LEA members attend free of charge.

If you are interested in joining a walk, please register with Sarah Morrison by e-mail, sarah@leamaine.org, or by calling at 647-8580, ext 12.

including a double. Players with one hit were Brittany Perreault, Abby Scott-Mitchell, Casey Simpson (double), Bridgette Letarte and Emily Burnham.

Lakers 14, Yarmouth 1: Showing good plate discipline, the Lakers took advantage of 15 Yarmouth walks to roll past the Clippers. LRMS scored five times in the first inning and added seven more runs in the third. The Lakers had just three hits — Abby Scott-Mitchell, Ashley Clark (double) and Allison Morse.

Ashley Clark hurled five innings, recording a no-hitter. She struck out seven and walked two. Yarmouth scored a run in the first on two errors.

Lakers 5, Poland 1: In one of their best efforts of the season, the Lakers edged the Knights as Whitney Harriman went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs. Harriman also delivered on the defensive side, snaring a

low-line drive for an out (nominee for best defensive play in 2011, in the running against a shoe-top catch by centerfielder Brittany Perreault, which she also converted into a double play), and making a toss to second in time for a double play in the second inning.

Casey Simpson and Abby Scott-Mitchell (triple) each had two hits, while Ashley Clark and Holly Brown each had one.

Down 1-0 in the third, Brown started a four-run rally with a single up the middle followed by singles from Simpson, ScottMitchell and Harriman.

Ashley Clark pitched seven innings, striking out six while allowing three walks and four hits. She worked out of several jams by mixing a good changeup with her fastball as Poland stranded three runners at third base (they were in scoring position with just one out).

Cape Elizabeth 7, Lakers

6: The Lakers left runners at second base in the sixth and seventh inning, falling to Cape Elizabeth in Naples.

Down 3-0, the Lakers tied the game in the third inning on singles by Whitney Harriman and Ashley Clark, and a double by Allison Morse. After Cape regained the lead with three runs in the fourth, the Lakers stormed right back to tie the contest on singles by Casey Simpson and Kalor Plummer, a double by Bridgette Letarte, and singles

by Harriman and Abby ScottMitchell (3-for-4, including two bunt singles).

Cape plated the game winner in the sixth on a one-out double and a single.

Repeat hitters for the Lakers were Harriman, Scott-Mitchell, Clark, Simpson, Plummer and Letarte. Leanna Comeau knocked a second-inning double.

Ashley Clark fired seven innings, striking out 10 while walking two. Cape collected 12 hits.

Finale: Bad weather slowed the start of the season and rain ended the season as the Lakers scored 13 runs in two innings at Yarmouth. That would be it as a storm rolled in and forced the game to be called. Kalor Plummer and Leanna Comeau each had doubles, while Whitney Harriman tripled as eight of the nine Lakers had hits.

Team Stats: As a team, the Lakers hit at a .401 clip. The Top 5 batting averages were posted by: Casey Simpson at .533, Ashley Clark at .472, Leanna Comeau at .471, Abby Scott-Mitchell at .469 and Whitney Harriman at .458.

LRMS banged out 117 hits.

Top 5 leaders were: Ashley Clark 17, Casey Simpson 16, Abby Scott-Mitchell 15,

Allison Morse 12 and Whitney Harriman 11.

“It is the hope of every coach that through hard work and a commitment to the team, you will see steady improvement throughout the season.

We (Coach Huntress and I) saw exactly that with this Laker team. Our goals were to stress fundamentals and play the game the way it is intended,” Coach Rivet and Coach Huntress said. “Although this group experienced defeat for the first time in their middle school years, we felt the players bounced back and played with greater focus and commitment. We were very proud of the team’s ability to rally against the better teams in the league, and their willingness to truly listen to what we (coaches) asked them to do. We see a bright future for this group, if they continue to work hard on their skills. ”

Junior Harmon Field in Bridgton is the site of the District II double-elimination 10 & Under baseball tournament. The winner advances to the state tournament set for July 9 in Belgrade.

The tourney championship was to be decided at press time, Wednesday. Here’s a recap of earlier action: Andy Valley West 11, Andy Valley East 3: Colton Carson struck out 13 and allowed just three hits, and Matt Fleming went 3-for-4 to lead AV West past AV East in the opening game of the tournament.

AV East took a 2-0 lead as Derek Childs and Jacob Mills (singled) each touched home plate. AV West answered with three runs as Taylor Farrar (single), Ashton Kennison (walk) and Hunter Labossiere (hit by a pitch) all scored. Tasker Winslow and Phil Drake each had hits during the inning.

AV East tied the game as Spencer Strong walked and scored on a (2-for-3) double. Gowan Tibbetts singled, but AV East was unable to score.

AV West took command with three runs in the second. They added single runs in the third and fourth (triple by Winslow), and iced the game with three runs in the fifth.

Gowan Tibbetts and Matt Ray pitched for AV East.

Sebago-Long Lake 20, Saco Valley 19: Jack Bisson scored on a perfectly executed bunt by Jo Jo Dmytruk with the bases loaded and two out in the seventh inning to lift Sebago-Long Lake to a thrilling come-from-behind win.

With both teams’ pitching staffs struggling with their control (the game featured 28 walks), Saco Valley built an early 11-1 lead (Nathan Knapp single, Michael Murphy double, Matt Fuller triple and single, and Oscar Saunders single) after two innings. But, SLL chipped away at the deficit by scoring five runs in the third (keyed by an Aden Grass single).

Up 11-6, Saco Valley responded with a six-run fourth inning as Tucker Buzzell singled. SLL came right back with seven runs to make it 17-13. After Saco Valley went down in order in the fifth, SLL inched closer with two runs scored by Connor Hunt and Matt Mayo.

Up 17-15, Saco Valley added two runs as Michael Murphy and Jared Jordan scored. SLL forced extra innings as 10 hitters went to bat scoring CJ Ferguson (single), Bisson (single), Hunt (single) and Mayo (walk).

SLL reliever Mark Mayo earned the win, striking out four and retiring six straight batters.

Gorham 10, Andy Valley West 0: Kyle King tossed a no-hitter, striking out nine of the 14 hitters he faced to lead Gorham to a win in a game called after four innings. Andy Valley had just two runners reach base — a walk and hit batsman.

Gorham plated four runs in the first on singles by Ben Nelson, Trevor Gray, King, Steve Klatt and Trevor Loubier. Gray and King scored in the second as Klatt, Brogan McDonald and Loubier all singled.

Gorham added three runs in the third keyed by singles by Gray and Loubier. In the fourth, Nelson and Gray singled to score a run.

Andy Valley East 9, Saco Valley 4: Spencer Strong scored three runs and Garrett Griffin doubled as Andy Valley eliminated Saco Valley Monday night.

AV East took a 5-1 (runs scored by Strong, Derek Childs, Daulton Bolduc and James Doucette) lead after two innings.

Tucker Buzzell got SV on the board with a double, and scored on an Oscar Saunders single.

Saco Valley looked to rally in their last at bat, scoring three times — Calvin Southwick, Matt Fuller and Nathan Knapp — but it wouldn’t be enough.

Jacob Mills went the distance for Andy Valley to earn the win.

Jared Jordan and Brayden Bartlett shared the mound duties for Saco Valley.

Andy Valley West 18, Andy Valley East 0: This one was over in a hurry. Andy Valley West sent 13 hitters to bat in the first inning, scoring nine times as the rout was on as Andy Valley East was eliminated.

AV West lead-off Taylor Farrar scored three times and had a triple. Matt Fleming and Hunter Labossiere combined for the shutout in a game called after four innings. Fleming hurled the first three frames, striking out four, allowing just a single to Gowan Tibbetts. Labossiere closed the game, striking out one while allowing a double to Jacob Mills.

AV East used three pitchers — Matt Ray, Gowan Tibbetts and Derek Childs.

AN INVITING SIGN — The finishing touch to the frontdoor courtyard project at Bridgton Library is this sign that went up recently, inviting the public to attend their events. Everything about the courtyard serves as an invitation to stop and tarry for awhile in downtown Bridgton. Patrons can enter through the front door once again, or, as Bill Gates of Rockville, Md. demonstrates, sit outside and surf the Web.

The signs are inviting

The signs are inviting in Bridgton this year. They speak of better times to come, of a time when we can look back and say 2011 was the year that Bridgton took charge of its own destiny.

Let’s start, literally in the heart of downtown, with the new sign that just went up in front of the Bridgton Public Library. SUMMER SOLSTICE SUNSET over Woods Pond last week was captured by Jane DeNofrio.

Nothing timid about that big letterboard. Attractive and bold, facing drivers on Main Street, inviting people to slow down and come inside.

Bridgton’s future?

The June Tree

By Alice Darlington Last summer, a client of my husband’s offered him a tulip poplar sapling from her yard in Portland, a volunteer from the magnificent tulip tree her father had planted years before. I have admired those trees ever since I first saw one in Virginia, but was surprised by the offer because I have seen very few tulip trees here in Maine and thought they needed that warmer climate.

Indeed, tulip poplars aren’t poplars at all, but belong to the magnolia family, definitely a more southern tree, but we visited the parent tree and its offspring and of course accepted! She insisted her tree man

do the transplant in the fall, and we anxiously awaited its arrival. But fall was closing in on winter before it came.

We returned home one day just before Thanksgiving to find it there, like a delicate princess in the garden, branches outstretched almost doing a pirouette. I immediately named it the June tree in honor of its donor and then found a small wooden cardinal ornament to hang in it through the winter, as a warning to the plowman and anyone else that there was now a sapling where previously snow could be piled.

There certainly was snow! I had to keep adding reflectors to

(Continued from Page D) We even heard the male’s call, a low squeaky growl. There were also laughing gulls on the island, and a couple of razorbills, elegant looking members of the auk family. Three species of terns flew around us, and we frantically tried to remember the identification tips we had recently learned.

The Arctic tern, who makes the longest migration of any bird in the world, looks neckless in the air, and has a crisp black line along the trailing edge of the wing. Common terns appear in flight to have a neck, but the dark line edging the wing looks smudgy. The endangered roseate terns look

ghostly white in the air, and their shorter wings flap faster, giving them a fluttery look.

The air around us was crowded with terns, and they moved so fast it was nearly impossible to focus on one bird long enough to see any field marks. Finally I gave up, put my binoculars down, and just enjoyed the spectacle of all those magnificent, graceful birds swirling over the ocean and the island on a clear sunny day.

To The Editor: Bridgton cannot even get intown squared away, say nothing about Portland Road. It was just two weeks ago, there was an article on downtown getting to be a ghost town. What’s first, fix what we have or move on to new and improved, letting downtown disintegrate?

This week’s Portland Road article looks good on paper, making sure the seasonal population has an input. Let’s put it this way. Those that have the most pull will do what they want, where they want and the rest of us be damned.

Let’s get some interest in jobs. Jobs to pay the bills, and increase in taxes.

Give the elderly a break on their homes, or drive them out. My house is for sale — a great summer and winter camp.

Quarter of a million would be a fair price, and I could move to a town that has it together. All I want is to be left alone and not have to drive 25 to 50 miles to get something. If we do not have it, we do not need it.

Bridgton is a quaint and a nice little town, but all good things come to an end. We either get on the ball and do something or Bridgton becomes a ghost town or another North Conway or Windham.

Time will tell, at a snail’s pace we’ll wait and leave the planning and decisions to those who will pay enough to satisfy those that rule the roost. Come on people. How long has it been, 10 years? Prospects come to Bridgton and they are scooted away — same old, same old. Get with it and put your money where your mouth is.

Do something that shows you want prosperity! Dead wood!

dad, Dr. Ralph Williams. As a native Freeporter, I do remember when Dr. Williams moved to our town. If my memory serves me correctly, Dr. Williams assumed the practice of a Dr. Goldman. Although he was not our family doctor, he was available 24/7 to tend to any and all emergencies a small town/rural doctor encounters in the course of his day-to-day practice. Dr. Williams was a very highly-respected member of our community and a credit to his profession.

Building safety

To The Editor: Earlier letters to The News concerned the significant numbers of old and empty buildings, especially at Pondicherry Square. Some, if not all, of them are not, in their current state, rentable, salable or worthy of a bank loan. They are, however, first-class health and fire hazards.

Are there no town policies or ordinances to make sure these buildings are safe — and if there are, why have these buildings been allowed to deteriorate to their present condition?

One wonders what the outcome would be if any of these relics caught fire.

Missing fly rod

To The Editor: On Monday, May 30, Memorial Day, I was fly-fishing on the Crooked River at the Edes Falls Bridge. Not having much luck, I decided to take a swim. Leaving my tshirt and fly rod on the bank, I joined my wife for a float. A short time later, we noticed a fly fisherman on the bank. As he moved down the bank, it seemed that he tripped over, or at least knocked over, my rod.

Fiscal sanity

To The Editor: Thank You Governor LePage! Over the past six months, you’ve made it a priority to improve Maine’s business climate and, as a result, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently ranked Maine number one in the nation when it comes to business-friendly infrastructure. And as part of the new state budget, you were successful in implementing much needed welfare reform including a five-year lifetime limit on most welfare benefits.

You promised to bring the budget of Maine to a level that is sustainable, and you listened

to the people of Maine who finally stood up and demanded welfare reform. As a result, we are moving in the right direction, a direction that will foster business growth and make Maine attractive to families and professionals.

A big “thank you” also goes out to the new legislative leaders who deserve equal credit for helping to restore fiscal sanity in Maine.

The June Tree

(Continued from Page D) the peepers had followed the wood frogs. This year, I strain to hear toads among the gray tree frogs that have joined the peepers, but I haven’t heard them or seen them around the cool house foundation at night.

Where are they?

Other missing friends are the American bittern, at least 15 years absent, and the three flutelike thrushes, the wood thrush, hermit thrush and veery. When I first came to Maine, the wood thrush was the only one I heard; a few years after, it was joined by hermit thrushes and last, veeries. It almost seemed as though wood thrushes faded into hermit

thrushes and hermits into veeries — to fade out altogether for this year I haven’t heard a one.

Perhaps it’s just my ears but I know that change is inevitable.

Populations move and change and displacement happens. In my lifetime, I have seen the same with human populations so I can’t be too surprised that other lives move around, change and die. I have a new example right now in our garden, the pretty tulip tree, the June tree, that seems to be settling in just fine a good deal farther north than was its range, a symbol of new life — and hope.

Enjoying retirement

Pond all to myself.

Digging worms and fishing alone was different. With no one to talk to, I was much more aware of the sound of wind, birds and insects and the feel of the sun on my body. I enjoyed all that up to a point. I was alone with my thoughts and feelings.

If I caught a good-sized bass or pickerel there was nobody to share the experience. By midafternoon, however, I’d find myself waiting at the bus stop for my public school friends

to come home and try to get a baseball game going. When they finally got out for the summer, I wouldn’t think of school again until those first cool days in August.

Later, as a teenager and then as a college student and teacher, I’d work summer jobs and savor the weekends. After I was married and with a growing family, I’d have building projects, the honey-do list, and planned recreational activities.

I was very aware that there were about 10 weeks to get everything done. Each week that was counted off, I’d measure against what there was still to do. Come August, I’d have to triage because I’d never get done all I planned before school started again. This year, one week is already in the can, but I don’t feel that pressure.

Though I’m just as busy as

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law last year, provides many benefits that begin this year for Medicare beneficiaries. Among them are: • For consumers in the “doughnut hole” (the coverage gap in Part D plans), manufacturers now provide a big discount on brand-name drugs and biologics (starting at 50 percent this year) and the government offers a 7 percent discount on generic drugs.

• Elimination of deductibles and coinsurance for many preventive services.

• Coverage of an annual wellness visit and personalized prevention plan at no charge.

• Ten percent bonus payments to primary care doctors who meet certain quality standards.

• Prohibits private

“Medicare Advantage” plans from charging enrollees more than original Medicare for certain medical services, including chemotherapy administration and skilled nursing care.

• Allows “Medicare Advantage” enrollees to switch to original Medicare during the first 45 days of the new year.

• Creates a single Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for drug plan and Medicare Advantage changes. The AEP begins on Oct. 15 and ends on Dec. 7. (This new AEP will begin in 2011 for coverage beginning in January, 2012).

Stan Cohen, a Medicare Volunteer Counselor is available for free, one-on-one consultations at Bridgton Hospital on Tuesdays from 8:30 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.

Front Row Seat

by Tom McLaughlin News Columnist

“Enjoying your retirement?”

Having taught more than 3,500 students for more a third of a century in the same small community, many people know me and I hear that question many times a day.

I smile and shrug, “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” and that’s true. It’s been more than a week since I cleaned out my classroom and got an engraved glass plaque from SAD 72 thanking me for my years of service. Early summer feels about like it always has, however — going around the properties I manage, shooting red squirrels, making sure everything works, reminding contractors about various repairs and maintenance. It’s only when I walk by the boxes of books and files from school on the floor of my garage where I unloaded them from my truck on the last day of school that I remember I’m now a former history teacher. Gotta remember to update the profile on my website this week.

The academic calendar has ruled my life for more than 50 years. Early on, we Catholic school kids got out more than a week before the public school kids did. I’d ride my bike around the neighborhood, but the others in a neighborhood filled with young baby boomer kids were still in school. I remember feeling good realizing that I had no more homework for a few months. I could slip out of the house with my fishing rod before my mother could think of something else for me to do and have Round

Medicare nugget

I’ve always been in late June, I feel more relaxed because my schedule will remain flexible for the foreseeable future and I won’t feel the crunch come Labor Day weekend. School will start for others, but not for me, I won’t have to jam work on unfinished chores into weekends in the fall. This time, I’ll be able to get all my work done before the weekends come, maybe even before.

Juggling three jobs for so many years put me in hurry-up mode most of the time and it became an almost permanent state of mind. Bumping into friends and acquaintances at the post office or the store, I’d have to be aware of the time because I was usually hurrying from one job to another.

I’d drop off my briefcase and my car, change clothes, put things in my truck and go off again. When home, I was dealing with phone calls and emails. As my wife would put it: I was a human doing and not a human being. That stuck in my mind when I was mulling the decision to retire last February.

As I said, my first week of summer was busy as usual, but I’m getting caught up. I should have it all current soon and then I’ll again become a human being, if I can remember how.

Correction: In my June 16 column, I referred to the author of The Forgotten Man as Emily Schlaes. Her name is Amity, not Emily. My apologies.

To The Editor: With help from NRCS, Natural Resource Conservation Service in Conway, N.H. and Rick Jones Associates of Fryeburg, the Remick Museum & Farm in Tamworth, N.H. has completed a riparian buffer project on the “Smith Flats” property located on Depot Road in Tamworth.

Riparian buffers are strips of grass; trees or shrubs established along streams, ditches, wetlands or other waterbodies.

Riparian buffers trap sediment, filter nutrients, and provide habitat and corridors for fish and wildlife. The “Smith Flats” property has been slowly “sinking” along a seasonal wash area

War and Peace

To The Editor: Recently, I read a piece in The Sun magazine about a war veteran who turned into a peace activist because he came to realize that after the defeat of Germany and Japan in World War II, more civilians (in subsequent wars) than soldiers were being killed. This is what he wrote about the American military: “I believe the purpose of the American military should be to protect the American people. It upsets me to see soldiers deployed to benefit the economic interests of corporations and the wealthy few. One of the best ways to

THE AREA’S BIGGEST AND BEST — Flea Market and Auction of the summer is what organizers say about the event on Saturday, July 9, on the Village Green in Casco Village. The event is sponsored by, and right across from, the Casco Village Church United Church of Christ, 941 Meadow Road (Route 121). With food and children’s activities, a bake sale and raffles, and of course the fabulous fleas, what better place to be on a summertime Saturday than right here in the Village? protect Americans in the 21st century would be for the military to provide disaster relief and humanitarian aid around the world rather than occupying other nations and waging wars that kill civilians. Some might ask, ‘Why not eliminate the military altogether?’

But unemployment in America is already high, and it would be much higher if the military were disbanded. Transforming the military into a relief and aid organization wouldn’t threaten the livelihood of our troops and their families and would be a more practical strategy for protecting the American people.”

Mr. Chappelle quotes General MacArthur who said, “The soldier, above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war,” so the idea of soldiers serving as protectors as part of a new American security strategy is appealing.

Mr. Chappelle goes on to say, “We must also change American foreign policy.

America has some of the most wonderful ideals: freedom, human rights, democracy. But the rest of the world, for the most part, isn’t angry at our ideals. The rest of the world is angry that we don’t live up to our ideals. It is not enough

to transform soldiers into protectors. We have to end the hypocrisy of politicians (and I am adding all the rest of us) who preach democracy and freedom while supporting dictatorships.”

I’m not sure whether a debate on Keynsian economic theory or Frederick Hayek’s laissez faire free market theory is worthwhile. I am now referring to Tom McLaughlin’s column of June 16. Theories seem to be the providence of intellectuals and are often misinterpreted and badly applied to the body politic. Chappelle worries about how we treat people, i.e., not maiming and killing civilians. He is talking from his experience and love for human beings, quoting neither Keynes or Hayek as he offers a new solution for our military.

Hopefully, we human beings can apply that kind of logic when we begin to talk about improving education and the protection, creation and distribution of life-giving resources that can sustain us, empower us and help us as we face inevitable tragedies and calamities while providing real hope for a better way of living out our lives.

As this property has been used primarily as hay production for many years, it was of great concern to everyone that it be saved from further erosion.

Dogwood, serviceberry, witch hazel, flag iris, winterberry and willow are among the plantings you will see in the front field. Along the riverbank, live stakes of willow and maples were planted. Silver maple as well as rock maple was chosen for both the adaptability to the area and the establishment of a new sugar bush for the farm’s maple syrup production in the future. In addition to the soil retention, a habitat for birds and other wildlife has been established.

previous Thursday for their vote to count. The reasons for the change, fraud and overwork of municipal clerks, just don’t add up. There have been only two cases of voter fraud in Maine over the last 38 years, and not one town clerk showed up to testify in favor of the bill.

The effort to keep Election Day registration is supported by a broad coalition of organizations including the Maine League of Women Voters, the Maine League of Young Voters, the Disability Rights Center, the Maine Civil Liberties Union and the Maine People’s Alliance, among others. I also feel that protecting our ability to vote is a perfect use of the people’s veto process, and, at the very least, anything that impedes our voting process should be voted on by the people.

For more information on the law in question, and the campaign to overturn it, you can visit the Maine League of Women Voters website at www. lwvme.org Your opinion on this issue is important to me, so please call my office at 287-1515 or visit my website at www.mainesenate.org/diamond to send me an e-mail and let me know what you think.

He went on to Southern Maine Vocational Technical Institute and studied Waste Water Treatment. He had various jobs through the years, and retired from Sappi Paper in Westbrook in the mid 1990s due to his illness.

Albert’s first love was music. He learned to play many instruments at an early age. He was a member of many bands over the years playing bass guitar. He was always happy to be on stage playing.

Albert will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Rock and Roll Heaven just got another band member.

He leaves behind a daughter, Christina Roy of Cornish; a brother, Robert of Casco; and a sister, Therese Lewis of Limington.

There will be a celebration of his life on Saturday, July 9, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Redneck Lounge on Route 11 in Naples. Arrangements by Watson, Neal & York Funeral Home, Cornish.

Opinions

June 30, 2011, The Bridgton News, Page D

Pension changes save taxpayers $3.155 billion

increases at 3 percent annually after the three-year freeze ends, instead of the current 4 percent maximum. Thereafter, COLAs will be paid on the first $20,000 of pension income, with the $20,000 cap indexed for inflation.

The COLA freeze for 2012, 2013 and 2014 may be mitigated by a potential transfer of $15 million annually. If the funds materialize, the Legislature can designate this money for payment of non-cumulative costof living adjustments.

The retirement age also has been raised. Currently, state employees are eligible to retire at 60 or 62. For new hires and employees not yet vested, the retirement age will be 65.

Finally, the new budget calls for a working group to develop a plan to close the current defined-benefit system and replace it with a retirement plan that would supplement Social Security. State workers and teachers do not participate in Social Security under the current setup. Instead, they pay 7.65 percent of their wages to the MainePERS fund.

Democracy in action

Since 1909, when the 31st Amendment to the Maine Constitution went into effect, Maine has had what is known as a “People’s Veto.” This allows the people of Maine to overturn a law enacted by the legislature through a direct vote on the issue. I feel that this is a great example of the kind of pure and open democracy that we pride ourselves on in Maine.

This week, I’m going to describe the people’s veto process, especially concerning how it relates to the recently announced campaign to overturn the bill ending Election Day voter registration.

Initiating a people’s veto is a difficult undertaking, as well it should be. After all, the legislature is elected to lead, and overturning their actions should not be taken lightly. People wishing to undertake a people’s veto have 10 days after the end of the legislative session when the law in question is enacted to notify the Secretary of State of their intent to block the law.

They then have until 90 days after the end of the session to

Views from Senate

gather and verify petition signatures from 10% of the number of people who voted in the last gubernatorial election. That means that the organizations seeking to overturn the ban on Election Day registration will have approximately until the end of September to gather signatures from 57,277 registered Maine voters if they wish to put the matter before the people of Maine.

Once the Secretary of State has verified the signatures, then the question concerning whether the law should be kept or not goes before the people.

The results for people’s vetoes is mixed in Maine, but history shows that those supporting the veto should have an advantage.

This Independence Day, let us celebrate our great democracy with friends and families, barbecues, and fireworks. But, let us also redouble our efforts to keep our nation secure and free from the tremendous debt that currently plagues our federal government.

When our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, I am certain they did not envision that 235 years later, foreign countries would own a significant percentage of national debt.

With our $14.3 trillion national debt growing larger every day, our national and economic security are at stake. Overseas, central banks, particularly those in Asia, have been huge buyers of U.S. debt in recent years, and own over a quarter of marketable Treasuries.

Foreigners own a total of $4.4 trillion, or approximately 47 percent of the federal debt held by the public, according to the Treasury Department. China and Japan are the biggest two foreign holders of Treasuries, each holding approximately 20 percent of our total foreign debt. Oil exporting countries hold another 5 percent.

Americans are rightly dismayed by the chaotic nature of the budgetary process and the failure of Congress, time and time again, to budget just like families and small businesses.

Sadly, the federal government has only managed to balance its budget five times in the last 50 years. In corporate America and our schools, a one-in-ten success ratio is considered a failure. When there is failure, selfassessment and tough choices are necessary.

United States Senator

On May 2, the United States reached its previously authorized statutory debt limit. This limit, however, hasn’t kept Congress from spending beyond its means. In the past decade alone, Congress has authorized an increase in the debt limit 10 times.

In spite of reaching a legal “breaking point” in spending, we continue to spend approximately 40 cents of every dollar.

As a result of the government’s

unrestrained spending binge and inability to live within its means, the creditworthiness of the nation has been seriously endangered. In April, S&P downgraded the nation’s economic outlook to “negative,” and in May, Moody’s threatened to downgrade the nation’s credit rating if lawmakers are unable to get a handle on the nation’s looming debt crisis.

that the people’s veto has been used, the law in question has been overturned 17 times and approved by the voters 12 times.

I am a supporter of the current people’s veto effort. I am strong believer that it should be as easy and convenient as possible for all those who can legally cast a ballot in the state of Maine to do so. Maine historically has among the highest voter participation rates in the country and I feel that the ability to register and vote on the same day is one of the major contributors to this. Over 60,000 new voters registered to vote on Election Day in 2008, and more than 20,000 last year (including more Republicans than Democrats), and all these people would be turned away under this new law. New voters will be not only disappointed, VETO, Page D

estimated savings of $3.155 billion.

Over the 2012-2013 budget cycle, for example, savings total $338 million, primarily from a three-year suspension in cost-of-living allowances (COLA).

“Those savings enabled the Legislature to increase funding for public education beyond expectations and handle the surge in MaineCare enrollment,” said Rep. Andre Cushing (R-Hampden), the assistant House majority leader. “We also passed a $150 million tax cut, the largest in Maine’s history.

Virtually every taxpayer will receive an income tax reduction, while 70,000 low-income filers will see their income tax liability vanish to zero.”

The 2012-2013 budget makes a number of changes to enhance the pension fund’s long-term stability. For one thing, it freezes state employees’ pay for the next two years, thus impacting pension benefits, which are calculated partially on the average of an employee’s highest-earning years. It also caps future COLA

Maine taxpayers will save $3.155 billion in paying off the public pension debt as a result of changes made in the new biennial budget. The calculation, made by the Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS), reflects taxpayer savings from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2028, the constitutional deadline for repaying the debt.

“These huge savings will effectively put money in the wallets of Maine residents,” said House Majority Leader Phil Curtis (R-Madison). “This is money that will not have to be raised through taxation. At the same time, we’re protecting future pension benefits by paying off the debt. It’s important to note that retiree benefits do not go down under the new system, and employees’ costs do not go up.”

Changes to MainePERS will reduce the so-called unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) from $4.1 billion to $2.4 billion.

When factored for future inflation, the total estimated UAL payments drop from $9.63 billion to $6.475 billion — an

Raymond Library news At a Glance Monday, July 4 – Library closed for Independence Day Sunday, July 10 – Book Sale begins at 9 a.m. at the library Wednesday, July 27 – Book Group, 7 p.m. at the library Annual Book Sale This is the time to add to your personal library, gather up books for the summer and yes, even for those snowy days in the far, far future. The variety is vast: some light beach reading, recent fiction, great non-fiction and classics, as well as cookbooks, books on gardening, sewing, and carpentry. There are also children’s books for all ages, puzzles, audio books, music, CDs and videos for sale at the most reasonable prices ever. There truly is something for everyone.

The sale begins on Sunday, July 10 at 9 a.m. and will continue in August during regular library hours, which are Sunday, Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

NEED A

The library counts on the generosity of their patrons who make donations of new and gently used books, videos, DVDs, audios and puzzles throughout the year. These donations are greatly appreciated and make this major fundraiser so successful.

For more information about the book sale or donations, call the library at 655-4283.

Book Group The book group will meet on Wednesday, July 27 at the library at 7 p.m. The book chosen for July is The Year of Magical Thinking, by Joan Didion. This is a true story of personal terror and bereavement when the author faces several devastating consecutive losses. The book is thrilling and engaging — sometimes quite funny — because it ventures to tell the truth: grief makes us crazy.

If you are an avid reader and this interests you, join others for the discussion of this intriguing account. Books will be available

upon request at the library.

Clynk Bags There are many ways you can contribute to your library. One of the easiest is to pick up a green clynk bag at the library and fill it with recyclable bottles and cans. When it is full just bring it down to the local Hannaford store. The library will receive the moneys from the deposit. This is just one little way of helping.

If you would like to know other ways to help keep your library up-to-date and a vital asset to the community, call 655-4283.

Possible Projects The Raymond Library is always looking for ways to help raise funds. Suggestions that have recently been made include: a road race, or triathlon for kids, or Walk for Literacy: or any combination; a teddy bear picnic; an ice cream social, either at the bibrary or a business location; adding specialty items to the Christmas Bake and Basket Sale; pictures with Santa at the tree lighting (family portraits, pets); breakfast with Santa, including photos; and a fall or spring bulb sale.

Participants then take home the day’s recipe and a bag of groceries containing ingredients to make the main dish at home.

(Continued from Page D) Monetary Fund cut its forecast for U.S. economic growth, warning that Washington and debt-ridden countries were “playing with fire.” The IMF urged immediate action to reduce budget deficits. It is no surprise, then, that Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, views the national debt as the single biggest threat to our national security, an opinion shared by a majority of Americans in a 2010 Gallup Poll that tied federal debt with terrorism as the greatest danger to our future.

On June 23, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed precisely what American taxpayers already knew — the size and scope of our nation’s debt problem is simply unsustainable. In a report that showed the nation’s public debt rising to 190 percent of the gross domestic product by 2035, CBO asserted that our “(g)rowing debt also would increase the probability of a sudden fiscal crisis,” and concluded that, “The explosive path of federal debt…underscores the need for large and rapid policy changes to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal course.” Our nation simply cannot afford to dither on the issue of debt any longer.

Unfortunately, Congress has demonstrated its utter inability to impose fiscal self-restraint.

Last Congress, there was no budget, no spending plan, and no final decision on funding levels for the whole fiscal year.

That is no way to run a government. If we are to get our fiscal house in order and meaningfully reduce the nation’s unsustainable debt and deficits, Congress must enact the selfenforcing tools and instruments required to rein in expenditures across multiple Congresses and generations. One of these vital tools is a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, and I regret the Senate’s failure to endorse a motion to take up this critical measure.

What worked in the past to restrain government spending and provide the much-needed checks and balances are the budget enforcement mechanisms such as sequesters and spending caps under GrammRudman-Hollings, and Pay-Go from the 1990s. I have also long believed that a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is necessary to ensure the sustainability of long-term fiscal responsibility in Congress.

Biennial budgeting would also provide an opportunity for Congress to engage in a meaningful evaluation and oversight of our fiscal policies in the alternating years. A combination of these kinds of measures would yield real savings and show real commitment to the American people, and reassure the bond markets that we are serious about the nation’s fiscal issues.

As we celebrate the birth of our nation and the promises of freedom and liberty upon which it was founded, we must commit to our obligation to leave a nation just as free and prosperous for future generations.

Indeed, government’s budget problems are not going to be solved without earnest consideration and deliberation. That’s what America’s working families sent us here in Congress to do and how leaders before us have tackled challenges. It is time we approached the monumental task of fiscal sustainability and independence with the seriousness it deserves.

LOVELL — The new art has arrived and it’s up and ready for summer. This year, Harvest Gold Gallery is showing the largest collection of original fine art and crafts yet.

There are many new works by their favorite artists and new artists have been added to the gallery as well. It was a great winter for creating.

Varvara Harmon, of Windham, is showing several of her new works including her amazing “Roses on Silk” original oil painting that has won many international awards. It is done in the style of the old masters and so real you can feel the softness of the silk and almost smell the roses. She has some new landscapes of special places like Kezar Lake and even one that combines the four seasons in one forest scene.

Local Lovell artist, Tom Merriam, known for his huge murals on the red barn of the Raymond-Casco Historical Society, has been busy with extra large paintings and his extra small, miniature paintings. Don’t be surprised to see some light-hearted bear carvings sprinkled around the gallery. Carving has always been a special passion for Tom. His new children’s books are now out. He has two so far. Fun stories and delightful illustrations, combined with the high-quality cards that he has developed, make his work available to all.

The gallery is fortunate to have such talented people here in the community.

One of the new artists this

year is a young glass artist from Maine, Konrad Hunter.

He twists the light when it streams through his liquid-like forms that hang in the window. Lacey Pots has new peace bowls and chickadee plates in bright fun colors. Sally Bags you know has lots of new fun styles for summer. Their laptop bag combines with mix and match cosmetic bags to make a great set. Bruce May had a great winter of woodturning.
