SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS

Neighbors armed with many questions about ‘Village’ plan

TWO SIDES OF RYAN — Ryan Holt, a former U.S. Marine, recently made his second appearance in Discovery Channel’s survival show, “Naked & Afraid.” He is presently developing a Nature Hostel in Roxbury.

One on One with...

Ryan Holt

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Ryan Holt proved last year he is neither afraid nor incapable of surviving the elements the Everglades with no food, water or clothing.

Now, he is set to take on a 40-day stint in the South African Bush as part of Discovery Channel’s top-rated survival reality show, “Naked & Afraid XL.” The Harrison native just returned from shooting the new series, but is unable to reveal too many details about his latest adventure into the wild.

The News went “One on One with…” Ryan Holt this week regarding the upcoming survival series on the Discovery Channel, as well as his efforts to develop a Nature Hostel on his property in Roxbury (a short distance from Bethel).

BN. How did you decide to make another appearance on “Naked & Afraid?”

Ryan: Naked & Afraid XL is somewhat of an “All Stars” series. Because of my performance and ability to “Thrive” on my first challenge in the Florida Everglades (21 days), I was asked back for a chance to outdo myself, this time for 40 days in South Africa.

BN. What lessons did you learn from the first outing that you applied to this trip?

Ryan: It’s 25% skill and 75% mental. Keeping your hands or your mind busy will make or break you. No one can sit around for 40 days and stare at a tree. Always keep yourself in the moment, nothing else matters except exactly where you are and what you have to do, not only to survive and get by, but to Thrive and live within the balance of your environment. When I’m out there, my mindset isn’t ‘40 days left,’ my mindset is ‘this is my life, it could be for a week, months or eternity, make the best of it, take it to a whole other level and live with a smile.’

BN. Had you ever been to South Africa before? If not, how did you prepare yourself for this adventure?

Ryan: I had never been to South Africa before, but I had been preparing my whole life for this journey. To literally be stripped of everything and only left with the knowledge and skills you’ve attained since birth is rewarding and affirms that we are limitless with anything we put our intentions into. It was like a giant puzzle or playground that I needed to figure out and apply everything I know. I’m so grateful for these opportunities.

BN. If you can share anything about this adventure, please do so (special challenges)?

Ryan: On the challenge, there are six men and six women all returning from previous 21-day episodes. The personalities, group dynamics and drama always seem to outweigh the challenges of living off the land. I can’t give it all away, but you won’t want to miss this series. I made Maine proud and I might just scare them a little too...

BN. When will it air?

Ryan: There is a pre-show ‘Who’s Who’ episode on Sunday, July 3 at 10 p.m. on the Discovery Channel. The premiere of the 40-day challenge is the following Sunday, July 10 at 10 p.m. This is a 10-episode series so you can see me thrive all summer!

BN. Let’s talk about your Roxbury project. On your Nature Hostel website, you said you were ‘lost’ and had many ‘unanswered questions’ after leaving the military. Can you elaborate a little on the feelings you had once you left the U.S. Marines?

Ryan: After three tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, I could feel that there was more to life than war, more to life than fighting each other and executing orders for hidden agendas. I had a passion for helping humanity, not destroying it. I RYAN, Page 2A

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer If Richard Dunton had a specific approach on how he was going to unveil a 50-plus lot subdivision in South Bridgton, it changed immediately last week.

Before Dunton could present a synopsis of the Woods Pond Village project, several members of the audience fired question after question during a public informational meeting held in the Bridgton Municipal Complex downstairs meeting room.

“The floor is yours,” said Dunton, the director of engineering for Main-Land Development Consultants of Livermore Falls. “I will answer as freely as I can.”

First question, who is the property’s owner?

The 54-acre property (Tax Map 4, Lot 15) is located off Route 117, across from Snow Valley Road in South Bridgton. It is owned by Ira Sochet Revocable Trust.

Dunton explained that Ira Sochet resides in Florida, but also spends time here in Maine.

The project manager is Betty LeGoff of Denmark, who is a representative of the owner.

OUTLINING PROJECT PLANS — Richard Dunton of Main-Land Development Consultants of Livermore Falls talks about plans for a 50-plus lot subdivision called Woods Pond Village during a public informational meeting last week. (Rivet Photo) At the meeting’s conclusion, LeGoff introduced herself and told about 12 people in attendance that the intent is to keep “the natural beauty of the land,” leave buffers and use local contractors as much as possible.

One attendee wondered when the property was sold, saying she would have

“robbed a bank to buy it.”

Years ago, she had talked with the previous owners regarding if they decided to sell, she would have been interested in purchasing.

Dunton admitted he had no idea when the property was placed on the market or when it was purchased.

Dunton explained that

as “part of the process,” a public informational meeting had to be held before a preapplication meeting could be scheduled and before the project could be sent along to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for site development and location permits.

Committee unveils zoning plan

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer Bridgton’s Land Use Committee made the rounds over the past week with its draft Land Use Ordinance, a zoning document that aims to protect the character of Bridgton while preserving the private property rights of its citizens.

The ordinance, to be voted on this November, applies to the downtown and Route 302 south.

So far, judging from feedback given in separate meetings with the public, the Planning Board and Selectmen, it appears the committee has pretty much hit the mark. It’s no small achievement, considering the bitter contention that erupted five years ago, when McDonald’s came to town.

Questions remain, however, about some of the recommendations made by the committee, which was charged a year ago with implementing the Future Land Use section of the 2014 Comprehensive Plan. These include a proposal to create a Design Review Committee that would meet with property owners in the Downtown Village Business District, in advance of meeting with the Planning Board. Also being questioned are plans to allow five-story buildings in the Outer Corridor,

as long as they’re set back at least 50 feet with buffering in front, and to restrict singlefamily home development in the Outer Corridor.

“Land use is difficult, because land has an owner,” said Planning Board member Dee Miller. “There’s always a danger to say you can’t use your property the way you want to.” She recalled the uproar and eventual rejection of zoning in Bridgton 20 or so years ago, when “you couldn’t even say the word” zoning without stirring up strong feelings. Since that time, Miller said, people have come to see the value of zoning as a way to protect their property. “People see it as a help, not a hindrance.”

Planning Board Chairman Steve Collins praised the committee’s efforts, which will be fine-tuned in meetings and public hearings over the summer and fall. “This town should be really proud of your work,” said Collins, noting how the town failed to implement the 2004 Comprehensive Plan with regulations reflecting its goals.

“There’s been a consistency of vision” this time around, said Collins. Early on, members agreed to focus on a hybridized version of form-based codes, which focus on setbacks

Hoyt to resign Bridgton Selectman Paul Hoyt announced recently that he will be stepping down from the board in September, when he and his wife plan to move to Connecticut to be closer to their children.

The eight-year board member said he didn’t know the plans had been finalized until recently, or he would have resigned in time for someone else to run for the seat in the June 14 Town Elections.

Spirit deferred Selectman Greg Watkins announced that no nominations were submitted for the Spirit of America Award by the deadline, so the award program will need to be put

off for a year. He acknowledged that residents had little lead time to consider which person or organization deserved the honor, which part of a statewide initiative that Cumberland County is participating in this year.

Volunteer BBQ Judging by the great turnout of around 50 people at the June 4 Volunteer/ Staff Barbeque, Bridgton Selectmen agree that the right formula has finally been found to honor committee members and town employees who work to make Bridgton a better place.

The board decided that the annual gathering would take place at Town Hall from now on, after trying other

Land Use Committee member Brian Thomas said he is proud of what the committee accomplished. “I think it’s awesome. It’s been a lot of work, a lot of arguments, but

out of that has come a real solid document.

venues and dates, only to find a small number of people in attendance.

Taxing questions Selectmen are checking into whether the personal property of CaseFusion Solutions, a company that supplies health care equipment to Bridgton Hospital, is entitled to tax-exempt status.

Hoyt questioned their recent application, wondering if

Bridgton Hospital’s taxexempt status also applies to companies that do regular business with the hospital.

Town Manager Bob Peabody said the town’s assessor recommended approving their application, but is researching the matter further at the board’s request.

One on One with...Ryan Holt (Continued from Page 1A) was proud of what it means to be a Marine, of how I conducted myself while upholding my oath yet, at the same time, I was ashamed for being part of the larger picture, an unnecessary war that only benefited the ones on top, behind closed doors.

That was hard for me to process. I felt betrayed and lost. I wanted to experience the Raw Freedom America ‘believes’ we were all over there fighting for.

BN. To rediscover yourself, you decided to hike the Appalachian Trail, solo. How did you take on the name ‘Yukon?’

Ryan: I was honorably discharged after having served eight years on Oct. 1, 2011. In the spring of 2012, I took a Greyhound bus to Georgia and hiked 2,200 miles home to Maine along the Appalachian Mountain range. I was given the trail name ‘Yukon’ after Yukon Cornelius from the classic Rudolf claymation movie. It took me nearly six months to complete (the hike) and I summited the greatest mountain in Maine, Mt. Katahdin, on Sept. 18, my 28th birthday.

BN. You also said on the website, you ‘walked off the war.’

How did the hike help, what did you realize about nature and

yourself, and what inspired you to consider developing a Nature Hostel?

Ryan: I wasn’t sure what I would find along the way, but the Appalachian Trail journey gave me a new direction, purpose and place. I began the trail solo, but quickly met dozens of other hikers who were all in some sort of transition in life.

There was no chaos, no clutter, just peace and the sounds of nature. There was nothing but time to process my thoughts and what I had been through over the last eight years. It was as if I walked off the war and surrendered my past experiences, which no longer served a greater purpose in my life. I had met myself for the first time that day on top of Katahdin and felt a deeper connection to my natural surroundings than anything I had ever experienced. I felt reborn and I was inspired to share this medicine with everyone I crossed paths with. I was never coming down from this mountain. But how could I continue forward on these levels of peace, happiness and freedom?

This is where the vision of The Human-Nature Hostel was given to me.

BN. You also mentioned that nature ‘healed you,’ ‘taught you’ and ‘inspired you.’ Any specifics you can share?

Ryan: We are not visitors in Nature, we are very much a part of it. The trail showed me that we are literally connected to everything and so much healing can come from clearing your mind by simply sitting in the middle of a forest or on a mountaintop. Sometimes, you need to disconnect (from society) to reconnect (to nature). The longer your stay in the wilderness, the more you will learn and heal. It gives you time to realize what is truly important in this life and that everything you have ever been seeking has been within you the entire time (and I’m not speaking of material desires).

BN. Your next step was the Nature Hostel. You spent time at Jack Mountain Bushcraft School. What attracted you to the program, what did you learn, and how will you apply it to your project?

Ryan: I began looking into alternative uses for the GI Bill. I just couldn’t see myself sitting in a classroom of a few hundred being lectured by a professor. This is when I found the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Survival & Guiding School.

The schoolhouse is located in Northern Maine, just outside of Ashland. I was a student of the yearlong wilderness immersion program. I spent nine weeks learning and living off the land, shelter building, friction fires, medicinal and edible plants, nighttime navigation, canoeing, bushcraft cooking and crafting. In the winter, we embarked on a 36-day snowshoe expedition across the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota, pulling all our food and gear on nine-foot toboggans. Battling temperatures in the minus 50s and trekking through four feet of snow for 100 miles. I felt alive. I was interested in learning this knowledge as a way of life, not as a way of survival. It will DOME PROJECT at the Human-Nature Hostel that only assist me in becoming a well-rounded Maine State Guide and I look forward to sharing these skills with others.

Ryan Holt is creating on his property in Roxbury.

BN. When did you purchase the Roxbury property? How big is it? What about this property convinced you that it was the right spot for the Nature Hostel? What do you like most about it?

Ryan: I purchased 42 acres in Roxbury just a few months after I finished the Appalachian Trail (2,184 miles) in the fall

N&A PART II — Ryan Holt of Harrison will put his survival skills to the test once more, appearing in Discovery Channel’s upcoming series of ‘Naked & Afraid.’ The destination, South Africa Bush for 40 days.

(Photo by Mark Fleming) of 2012. I knew I wanted land in Maine, near the AT and it had to have a water source. I think the piece of property found me because it’s too perfect in every way. It sits on a dead end road at the base of two mountains (Black Mountain and Rumford White Cap), the AT is 10 miles away, the ITS-82 is my western property line, its a moose highway and has a year-round eightfoot-wide babbling brook that flows right through the middle of it. Synchronicity is a beautiful thing.

BN. How are you going about developing the Hostel?

Biggest challenges, ultimate goal?

Ryan: The land and the hostel communal center are the two biggest pieces. Right now, I’m just working with what I’ve got and what I can afford. This summer, I’m finishing the 40-foot timber geodesic dome and from there I’d like to have a bunkhouse or convert the daylight walkout basement into accommodations. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable nature retreat hostel and wilderness guide service.

extended backpacking and canoeing trips while learning the four basics of survival and primitive living skills.

This experience will give each of them the opportunity to decompress and share in the camaraderie with fellow warriors. We all know pharmaceuticals are not ‘cures,’ they only seem to drown or bury the pain. Alternative healing in the form of guided meditation, sweat lodges, yoga, massage and Nature will offer a much more affective way of healing our inner selves. Sometimes, all it takes is sitting around a fire on the mountain under a celestial starry night and reminiscing with a band of brothers and sisters. 100% of donations go toward the Wilderness Warriors Project and the expenses of each veteran’s journey. Veterans have already paid enough, it is my intention for this to be a zero cost wilderness healing experience.

Motorcyclist hurt A motorcyclist was seriously injured Saturday morning following a crash at the intersection of Route 114 and Shaw Road in Sebago.

Amy Bacon, 55, was airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland following the collision at 9:30 a.m.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office say Bacon was operating a 2007 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 motorcycle.

Police say the motorcycle had been traveling north on Route 114.

A Ford F250 truck (out of Colorado), operated by Lindsay Madison, 28, had been traveling south. Madison attempted to turn left onto Shaw Road to turn around and did not see the motorcycle. The motorcycle struck the side of the truck between the rear tire and back door.

Bacon was not wearing a helmet and was ejected back off of the truck onto the pavement. Due to extensive possibly lifethreatening injuries, Bacon was airlifted by Life Flight to MMC. Madison and an infant passenger in a car seat were transported to the Bridgton Hospital as a precaution.

Speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors. The crash remains under investigation by Sheriff’s Office Patrol Deputies and the Sheriff’s Office Reconstruction Team.

Water quality update

NEW FOREST ESTABLISHED — (left to right) Thom Perkins, Loon Echo Executive Director, Kevin Hancock, Hancock Land Company president and Carrie Walia, Loon Echo senior adviser with the deed to Maine’s newest community forest.

New forest: Great views

On the first full day of summer (June 21), the Raymond Community Forest in the Town of Raymond, became the newest Community Forest in the State of Maine.

The nonprofit Loon Echo Land Trust purchased the land from Hancock Land Company for the Town of Raymond. The Raymond Community Forest encompasses a 356-acre parcel to the east of Crescent Lake bisected by Conesca Road. This new community forest offers long-term multiple benefits for the town, including protection of the quality of Raymond’s waterways and wildlife, as well as exceptional views to and from Pismire Mountain.

The Raymond Conservation Commission had their eyes on

the property since developing its Open Space Plan in 2009. The land conservation project was first proposed by the Raymond Conservation Commission and Loon Echo Land Trust in 2012.

According to Chairman John Rand, “This property has many valuable assets that we mapped during our planning process including water quality and habitat protection, trail and recreation opportunities, a forest resource that can help support our economy, and a fabulous view from the top of Pismire Mountain. In sum, this is one of Raymond’s Special Places that our plan sought to protect.”

Hancock approached Loon Echo to initiate a partnership between the company, Loon

Land Use Committee unveils zoning plan would be 50 feet.

“We tried to achieve a balance of development and open space, and we are not regulating any type of use,” said Committee Chairman Chuck Renneker. All existing structures will be grandfathered unless there’s a change of use.

No residential uses will be allowed on the ground floor in the Downtown Village I District, and new construction will need to be two-story, to

Raymond forest

THE ADVENT OF ZONING — This draft Future Land Use Map for downtown Bridgton shows the Downtown Village Business Districts I and II, in green, extending along Main Street from Main Hill to the Kansas Road, and along Portland Road south to Willett Road, as well as a short distance north on Route 117. The yellow lots designate the Downtown Village Neighborhood; red, the Inner Corridor; and blue, the Lakeside Neighborhood. Lots shaded in pink designate the Rural Neighborhood. The map will be redone before the planned November vote so it will be easier to follow. design review process would serve as an encouragement to follow the town’s goals. “We hope to possibly change the developer’s mind, but as long as he meets the ordinance, he’s fine,” Renneker said.

Renneker said property along the Outer Corridor consists of mostly larger lots, and thus became the logical location for larger commercial and industrial development.

“If General Motors wanted to build a plant, or a call center wanted to locate there, as long as (the building) is controlled by a buffer, I don’t have a problem with that,” he said.

The same would apply to a big box store, he said.

Thomas noted that the Hannaford supermarket in Standish is so well-screened and set back from the highway that “you wouldn’t even know it was there.”

Miller and fellow Planning Board member Debra Brusini, however, had a problem with the proposal to allow up to six

stories of height. “Six stories seems like a lot,” Brusini said.

Renneker said the six-story allowance was “a recognition that we’re forcing larger developments there.” Initially the committee also said no to residential housing, but changed their mind after meeting with the Planning Board.

As now proposed, the Outer Corridor would allow cluster residential development as long as there are sufficient setbacks in place.

changed with the times,” said Renneker. “We’re in a period right now when we’re coming out of (the era) when things remained fairly static.

As Portland moves toward us, Bridgton is going to evolve again. What we’re trying to do is control that growth to preserve that New England character.”

The committee meets every Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room of the Bridgton Municipal Complex, and the public is encouraged to attend.

(Continued from Page 4A) option to purchase the land. They were grateful to Hancock for agreeing to such generous terms and to Loon Echo for its efforts. The board viewed the project as an opportunity too important for the town to pass up.

“The property has been owned by Hancock Land Company dating back to 1943. With the help of Kevin Hancock’s support of this project by donating a portion of the cost, this acquisition preempted development and will retain the rural characteristic that is so important to the residents of Raymond,” Rand continued.

Through the hard work and dedication by the Raymond Conservation Commission and the citizen based Steering Committee (John Rand, chairman; Ray Bersch, Sheila Bourque, Connie Cross, Dave Dowler, Carol Friend, Russ Hutchinson, Brien Richards, Marlee Turner, Brian Walker, and Carrie Walia, Loon Echo Land Trust senior adviser), Loon Echo Land Trust, the Town of Raymond, the Open Space Institute, Portland Water District, Lands For Maine’s Future, Norcross Wildlife Foundation, Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, David Conservation Foundation, William P. Wharton Trust, The Anonymous Foundation, Camp Agawam and over 200 individuals and families, the property will be conserved permanently.

“We commend Raymond’s citizens for coming together to protect this important forestland — a place that will long provide so many economic and environmental benefits to their community. The Open Space Institute is gratified to support such a deserving project through our Community Forest Fund,” said Jennifer Melville, OSI VP for Conservation Grants and Loans.

Recreational plans are being developed with the assistance of community members. Plans include establishing a parking area on Conesca Road and developing hiking trails leading to the cliffs of Pismire Mountain. Plans for the lower elevation forest include low-impact multi-use trails such as walking, hiking, cross country skiing/snowshoeing and mountain biking.

Traditional uses such as hunting will continue. The property has had a long tradition of sustainable forest management. With a history of forestry, the property will continue to provide necessary income through timber management to support the land and trails into the future.

Loon Echo’s Raymond Community Forest Project campaign had raised over 90% of the funds needed to purchase the property by this past November, just 10% short of the $680,000 needed for the purchase. With a six-month extension to the purchase agreement from Hancock Land Company, the final push to raise funds was achieved with the Open Space Institute awarding $30,000 toward the project and Raymond’s residents voted overwhelmingly to contribute an additional $6,800 for the project. With this generous last minute-support, Loon Echo was able to close on the property on the summer solstice.

A modest reserve has been established to be used for stewardship and trail work. Fundraising will continue to support these efforts as plans are on track to open a portion of the trails for the 2016 fall season. Loon Echo Land Trust protects over 6,556 acres of land and manages 28 miles of multi-use trails in the northern Sebago Lake region. Its mission is to conserve the region’s natural resources and character for current and future generations. Loon Echo serves seven towns including Bridgton, Casco, Denmark, Harrison, Naples, Raymond and Sebago with an area of 320 square miles located directly north of Sebago Lake. Loon Echo works within its service area to safeguard water quality for greater Portland’s 200,000 residents, preserve scenic gems such as Bald Pate Mountain, and provide outreach and fun educational programs to the public. Loon Echo assists landowners to take steps to ensure future generations will benefit from the preservation of their lands.

encourage mixed use.

The number and size of windows, or fenestration, would be regulated as well, and no downtown Main Street building would be allowed to exceed 120 feet of continuous building frontage.

“Renys would not be able to be built the way it is, by any means,” if the ordinance were in place when the business expanded, explained Thomas.

Renys initially planned to have no windows facing Main Street, but compromised after Miller strongly objected.

“The lesson of Renys was taken to heart,” said Committee member Greg Watkins.

Architectural recesses will be allowed, to break up the building and make it more interesting.

In the Village II District, buildings “will be allowed to breathe a little more,” said Committee member Bill O’Conner, who has led PowerPoint presentations to illustrate the changes. In the stretch of the Portland Road from Pondicherry Square to Maple Street, “the buildings are allowed to breathe a little more, and we’re all for maintaining that,” he said.

Committee member Ken Gibbs said the idea of creating a Design Review Committee gained hold after informal meetings were held with local developer Justin McIver, who built the Towanda’s and Firefly building and the new Chalmers building. McIver was “very amenable to the suggestions,” and agreed to build up to the sidewalk and adopt other changes in keeping with the character of Main Street. Gibbs said the committee would be only advisory and would apply only to new construction or renovation of 25% or more of the street-side façade of the existing building.

The design committee would schedule a public meeting within five days after an application is submitted, and draw up minutes for the Planning Board or code enforcement officer listing recommendations for suggested architectural and landscape design.

Renneker said developers would not be required to incorporate the suggestions in their plans, but the hope is that the

Center expanding to Bridgton The Progress Center, Inc., a nonprofit, is expanding and officially opening a satellite office in Bridgton in June.

The new location, at 300 Portland Road near Sandy Creek Road, will bring with it a 36-year history in providing supports and services to adults, children and families experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Progress Center has since grown to provide many services throughout Western

and Southern Maine: children’s and adult case management, day programming, employment services, residential support and children’s in-home support services and a woodworking program called Tree Works.

The Progress Center is also home to the Feel Better Food program, which provides free meals to patients recently discharged from the hospital, and the Community Kitchen Program, which provides free meals and distributes fresh produce to the community.

Touch of Downtown Abbey In addition to lunch and Sunday brunch, Clipper Merchant Tea House will offer high tea, a tradition that owner Melinda Thomas hopes will interest Bridgton residents and visitors in part due to the popularity of programs like Downton Abbey.

“Bridgton seems like the perfect spot to serve and educate the public about tea and tea culture,” Thomas believes. “Bridgton has an obvious appreciation for history and tradition, with its many antique shops

and opportunities to learn about local history.” In fact, many of Clipper Merchant’s antiques have come from local Bridgton shops.

“Why should I buy tables, for example, from a restaurant supplier when there are so many wonderful antiques right here that support the historical nature of the house and the business? I have at least one teacup and saucer from every single merchant in Bridgton — so the community can feel very much a part of Clipper Merchant,” Thomas said.

The Grand Opening for Clipper Merchant Tea House was held on Saturday, June 25, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the “Pouring of the First Pots,” accompanied by bagpiper John Davis. Davis and others in authentic 18th century costume walked from Shorey Park to William Perry House.

The community is welcome to stop by for a cup of tea and treats. Clipper Merchant Tea House officially opens for regular business on July 2. Please check the website for hours of operation and other information at www.clippermerchant.com or call 803-8111.

2016 road paving plans, targeted for late August, includes Sterling Road, East Shore Road, North Beach Road and South Beach Road, all in East Shore Estates off Lewis Road; Hemlock Lane off Lewis Road and Temple Hill off Route 117/Norway Road.

In addition, paving will take place in a number of places where there are serious road issues or culverts need to be replaced, Finch said. If funding and time is available, additional work on Lincoln Street will be undertaken.

HARRISON — As the fiscal year draws to a close, Town Manager Bud Finch told selectmen at their recent meeting the tentative numbers for revenue and expense are in place and look great overall.

“The numbers look good overall and are consistent with our goal of being in the black on the bottom line,” he said.

Finch offered selectmen a snapshot of where the town is with one week, (one payroll and financial warrant) left in the current fiscal year: Municipal operations (tentative): The expense budget of $1,893,231 will finish up under budget at $1,823,689 for a decrease of $69,543 or 3.7% in the budget.

The revenue budget of $686,573 will finish up over budget at $814,883 for an increase in revenue of $128,309 or 18.7% In total, municipal operations will finish up the year to the plus side by $197,852, ($128,309 over budgeted revenue and $69,543 under budgeted expenses). The two major elements in the revenue increased were from state revenue sharing and funds from fees and legal penalties.

At their next board meeting, Finch plans to recommend to selectmen that $60,000 from Public Works be carried forward to finish ongoing road projects. The funds became available due to the mild winter, the manager reported. Finch will also recommend that capital reserve funds earmarked for fire station roof repair and

Woods Pond Village project

(Continued from Page 1A) The public meeting was to inform residents what is planned and take feedback so developers can shape the project “with good, savvy input.”

At this point, no project schematics will be available to the public for review (a sketch was shown at the meeting). However, once the project lands on the Bridgton Planning Board’s table for review, plans will be available for public inspection at the town office and at the state level.

LeGoff believes seven property owners abut the site.

She noted that in accordance to Bridgton’s Subdivision Ordinance, all landowners within 500 feet of the property must be notified when an application is submitted for town approval.

The proposal calls for 50-plus lots, ranging in size from smaller lots for homes in the 5,000 to 10,000 square foot range to lots nearing an acre. The project also includes a proposed walking trail and picnic area.

Each development will be accessed by separate roads (at this time, the roads do not connect). Where specifically those roads will be

located will need approval from the Maine Department of Transportation. Dunton pointed out that a current logging road is not one of the proposed development roadways. It is located closer to the brook.

The East Side properties (larger lots) — which is considered a more traditional subdivision, Dunton said — will be served by individual wells and septic systems. The homes will likely be two to three bedrooms.

The West Side properties will likely be one-bedroom units or possibly duplexes (thus totaling two units). This development will be serviced by a common water supply and a common wastewater system. The plan calls for several “disposal fields,” spread out in different locations “so there is no concentration of wastewater in one particular area,” Dunton pointed out.

One resident questioned how the development might affect his water supply.

“How much water will these units take out?” he asked. “I am concerned about my water supply, and if it is impacted by the wells being drilled there, what recourse do I have?”

Using the state wastewater code, which Dunton says leans on the conservative side, the use would be about 5,000 gallons per day for the entire development (based on units proposed).

One test well has already been drilled, and is yielding five gallons per minute.

“Drilling a well is part of the planning process to determine what the yield will be, max output, etc.” Dunton said. “It may seem like putting the cart before the horse.

It’s not an assumption that approvals will be given. It’s just proper planning.”

To determine the impact of the common well on surrounding water sources, a test will be conducted, pushing the well to full yield over a long duration. Abutters’ wells will be monitored during the test to see if water use at full yield had an impact on surrounding water supplies.

A water level meter will be used. Attendees said their wells vary in depth from 240 to 660 feet.

“A traditional subdivision with acre-size lots is sufficient to support individual wells,” he said.

Dunton said the second part of the testing process will be water quality, to see

if any changes occur. Costs will be borne by the developer.

In regards to fire protection, two options will be considered — a stormwater pond or tap into Mary Day Brook for a dry hydrant. The matter will be discussed with fire department officials during the local permitting process.

Karen Hawkins and others impressed upon Dunton that potential buyers should be made aware ahead of time that several farms exist near the subdivision.

Another person added, “This will not be an issue because we were here first.”

Dunton responded, “We hear that concern loud and clear, and I’m making a note of it.”

The entire development targets homeowners in the 50-plus age range.

“The intent of the development is for smaller homes for folks who are leaving their longtime home for a place that has less maintenance and is affordable,” Dunton said.

One resident had called the state to check whether proper logging practices were being used at the site, and was told, “yes.”

Another resident asked if

CONWAY, N.H. — Mike Sakash and Mountain Top Music present “Swingin’ in the Sixties,” a continuation of Mike’s popular summer Jazz History series for jazz fans of all ages.

Starting Wednesday, June 29 and open to the public, drop-ins are welcome at any or all of the eight weekly sessions to be held Wednesday nights from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. in the “Little Majestic Theatre Listening Room” in Mountain Top’s new building in Conway village.

There will be no charge for anyone who wishes to “try-out” a class for the first

time; thereafter, the cost is $12 per person for each session, or a discounted price of $80 for the entire series.

Led by sax/clarinet performer Mike Sakash, chairman of Fryeburg Academy’s award-winning Music Department, this summer’s series explores the lives and music of the great mid-century visionaries of the 1960s such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman and Herbie Hancock.

While many of the influential musicians of the 1930s swing era, the 1940s be-bop movement, and the

fabulous 1950s innovators were still active, 1960s jazz was influenced by an everwidening palette of styles including Brazilian music, gospel, blues, free improvisation, sacred music, and classical music.

Guided listening sessions, discussion, and live demonstrations will be used to give attendees a deeper understanding of one of the most exciting decades in jazz history in this engaging and friendly interactive setting. No question is too simple to pose and no previous jazz experience is required — no homework and no tests either — just a love of

great music and the wish to learn more about this very special musical genre from an expert teacher and musicologist.

Sakash currently performs locally and with the 18-member Portland Jazz Orchestra, and teaches jazz on both saxophone and clarinet at Fryeburg Academy and Mountain Top Music.

He holds a degree from the University of Massachusetts in Saxophone Performance, African-American Jazz Studies, and Music Education, and a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media from the Eastman School of Music. Before coming to the Valley, he was an associate professor at Washington

the two developments were going to be “gated communities” with no public access?

“That’s a good question,” Dunton said. “I’ll make a note on that…We will do our best to address your concerns.”

There will be an association and covenants associat-

ed with this project and lots.

Ownership will be passed to purchaser.

Dunton expects the proposed project will be submitted to DEP within “months.”

“When you get close to submitting, that’s the time you hold the public informational meeting,” he said.

Denmark’s annual lobster roll lunch

Congregational Church buys more than 40 pounds of lobster meat from their local seafood supplier and handcrafts it into the best lobster rolls you can find. Fully-packed with lobster meat overflowing a crisp toasted bun, seasoned just right, the lobster rolls literally melt in your mouth.

Add a slice of homemade pie, chips, coleslaw and a cold drink, and Denmark has found the perfect way to top off their July 4th celebrations and parade.

Last year, the Denmark Mountain Hikers took part in the parade, trooping alongside the Denmark Church’s float with signs representing different landmark dates in history. Unfortunately, just as the parade was ending, the trekking poles of one of our hikers got caught under a tire on the float trailer, dragging her foot under the tire. Injured as she was, the hiker insisted on limping along to the end of the parade on her own and went directly in line to get her lobster roll! She knew the danger of missing out by being late and wasn’t going to let a little thing like an injured foot get in the way!

Lovell comes alive in July

This year, the Lovell summer events again starts with the Fourth of July Lions Club breakfast. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon and all the fixings await the hungry from 7 to 10 a.m.

This event supports the Lions Club’s scholarship fund so get out early, see old friends returning and eat hearty. Same place, the former grange building. See you there.

Lewis Dana Hill Flea Market: This is becoming a tradition in North Lovell, the breakfast and the Lewis Dana Hill Library Flea Market. And this year, a cookie sale. This library has been part of the area for years. I remember when there was a reunion of students from the area who went to the one-room schoolhouse. Mertice Barker was the teacher and a dear friend who got me acquainted with the folks when I first started to write for the paper. It’s small, but keeps up with the newest books coming hot off the press and needs the support folks.

Dale, Nichole, Jolene and I went to Newburyport, Mass. to my granddaughter Patience’s dance recital last Saturday afternoon. She had two different dances, one tumbling and one hip-hop. She did very well with both. We’re all so proud of her.

Jolene and I went to see Florida Georgia Line last Thursday in Bangor at the waterfront pavilion. They were awesome and we got to see a couple great opening acts including Kane, The Cadillac Three and Cole Swindell. I won the tickets from 99.9 The Wolf. It was a great show despite the rain. We also got to see a double rainbow, it was pretty cool.

The Great Mars Hill Bank Robbery is the true story of one of Maine’s most colorful characters of the last half-century.

On the evening of Nov. 12, 1971, former Army Sergeant Bernard Patterson, a muchdecorated Vietnam War hero, turned real-life version of Don Quixote, Butch Cassidy and Robin Hood all rolled into one implausible package, robbed the Northern National Bank in Mars Hill. \ The largest bank robbery in Maine history (he escaped with $110,000), the former tunnel rat and jungle tracker, who had won about a dozen medals for valor, escaped initially by paddling

Staying one step ahead of law enforcement, Patterson narrowly escaped a local dragnet, traveled to Southern California, bought a fraudulent passport, adopted a Vietnam War buddy and flew to Switzerland, where he lived a raucous life of excess for several months.

Later, he escaped to England to visit with a love interest 30 minutes ahead of Interpol and then motor biked across central Europe to Greece, where he was denied entrance by border authorities. After motoring through Italy, he ferried to Tunisia, bought a camel and proceeded to get lost in the Sahara Desert, the camel found

arrangements of a wide variety of works by songwriters around the world. They seek out arrangements that highlight their distinctive vocal and instrumental talents.

While folk is a cornerstone influence for the pair, their music borrows from genres ranging from Americana, singer/songwriter, roots, bluegrass, blues and more.

Bennett & Perkins can frequently be heard on NHPR and WERU radio. They have shared the stage with Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul and Mary), Loudon Wainwright III, The Good Lovelies and have played at festivals and stages throughout New England.

Bennett & Perkins released their first CD – The Kitchen Music Sessions — in the summer of 2010, produced in a Maine farmhouse kitchen by multi-instrumentalist Davey Armstrong. They followed it up with their breakthrough album of original music, House on Fire,

the way back. Returning to England, he had an affair with both an Irish fisherman’s wife and his sister. The huge fisherman beat him badly. Broke and desperate, he was captured by Scotland Yard on the Isle of Jersey after having spent most of the stolen money.

Extradited to the United States, he was convicted in federal court in Bangor and imprisoned in Lewisburg, Pa., where he obtained a special assignment in the prison library and studied marijuana botany. Released several years later, he returned to the Mars Hill area and ran a pot farm, again staying one step ahead of law enforcement for the remainder of his life. He died in 2003.

“My new book is the biog-

raphy of Bernard’s adventure filled, controversial life. Not only does it relate his heroic military experiences, the robbery and his subsequent riotous escapades, but it details his struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,” Chase said.

“Revered by neighbors, friends and contemporaries despite his misdeeds, he is one of Maine’s most interesting personalities of the last half-century.”

A book that is long overdue, it has already been the subject of book events with television and newspaper coverage in northern and central Maine. This is Chase’s second book, the first being a mountain guidebook, Mountains for Mortals – New England, published by Menasha Ridge Press.

SO MANY STRAWBERRIES…so little time! Bridgton’s First Congregational Church prepares for 23rd Annual Strawberry Breakfast.

(Kevin Murphy Photo)

First Congo Strawberry Breakfast

The First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ of Bridgton, will hold its 23rd Annual Strawberry Breakfast on Saturday, July 2, from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Everyone is invited to attend the breakfast, and indoor and outdoor seating will be available (weather permitting). The church is located at 33 South High Street in Bridgton. There is plenty of free parking and it is handicapped-accessible.

You won’t want to miss this summertime tradition. Bring your family and friends and feast on a breakfast of pancakes, French toast, homemade biscuits, cereal, freshly whipped cream, and ice cream all topped with fresh local strawberries. The cost for adults is $8; children ages 5-10 are $3; and children 4 years old and younger are $2. Tickets can be purchased at the door.

“Nothing beats the taste of just-picked strawberries,” said Chris Lowell, church chairwoman for the event. “It’s a great way to enjoy the first taste of summer with your friends and neighbors.”

This long-running event is one of the church’s most popular fundraisers and supports the Bridgton community with programs like Jeanette’s Closet, where families in need can find no-cost clothing, and the “Adopt-a-Child” Christmas program which supplies Christmas gifts to more than 150 children in Bridgton each year.

The First Congregational Church is an open and affirming church and welcomes everyone. The pastor is Jane Rich.

Summer Sunday services are held at 9 a.m. and childcare is available. For more information call the church office at 6473936 or visit www.bridgtonucc.com

CENTER LOVELL — Harvest Gold Gallery is pleased to announce that it is showing some of Jean Swan Gordon’s newlyframed work.

On consignment from the late Mrs. Gordon’s children, these large florals capture the vibrant and chaotic nature of living flora.

Born in 1922 in Brooklyn, N.Y., Gordon graduated from Smith College in 1942.

Due to her husband’s military career, she and her family moved all around the world before settling in Old Lyme, Conn. Gordon summered in East Boothbay, and that is where her love of gardening and painting came together.

Initially, Gordon worked only in pen and pencil and created brilliant line portraits and landscapes. In order to raise extra funds for her daughter’s cancer treatments, Gordon began to paint floral bouquets on the side. Quickly, however, Gordon fell in love with the intricacies of flowers.

“As with people,” Gordon wrote, “no two are the same. They can move around like people, and there’s something challenging about that. That’s why I try to convey in my work the vigor, energy, and variety of flowers at various stages of growth and development.”

Gordon’s bouquets are unique in the art world because of their lack of traditional staging. Field flowers mix and mingle with the blooms of Gordon’s garden, and reflect the passing of the seasons. Lupin and buttercups in the early summer; dahlias, echinacea, and chrysanthemums in the fall. She starts each painting by taking ink directly onto plain white paper. She then adds in layers upon layers of watercolors which, under her masterful hand, capture the velvety nature of petals, the light that bounces through a glass vase, and so much more. The negative space between all the leaves and flowers is as stunning as the bouquets themselves.

The light and joy that Jean Swan Gordon’s work can bring to a room is unlike any other. For Gordon, it is “the beauty, individuality, and energy of flowers that counts the most” toward creating a stunning piece.

Come and see some of Gordon’s striking watercolors at Harvest Gold Gallery in Center Lovell.

Harvest Gold is open daily and is located just past the Center Lovell Market at 1082 Main Street. For more

Bridgton birthday bash Several past champions set to return

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Why do some people log hundreds or thousands of miles during their lifetime to run competitively?

Moninda Marube runs to create change.

Sally Sundborg has been running for 40 years as a way to keep herself “happy and healthy.”

Erin Flynn finds running as a constant path to self-discovery.

Emily Ward says running is the only time in her day in which she can be fully present and let her mind wander.

Silas Eastman sees running as a chance to compete against others and himself.

Although their reasons differ, each had the competitive drive to train and emerge as champions of Bridgton’s 4 on the Fourth Road Race.

2016 marks the race’s 40th anniversary, and to celebrate the Lake Region’s and town’s marquee Independence Day event, Race Director Jim Cosey reached out to all champions to personally invite them to make a return to Bridgton.

Some will lace them up, at least one more time this Monday morning, joining the big crowd expected to line up on Main Street, near Food City for the 8 a.m. start.

Others are unable to attend, but continue to hold very fond memories of their moment

Moninda Marube will be back in Bridgton to compete on Monday. when they were either the first man or first woman to break the finish line tape on Depot Street.

The News was able to track down a few of the past champions and learn why Bridgton

Erin Flynn, a two-time champion, looks forward to running here. remains special in their hearts.

Moninda Marube, 37, is a two-time champion (2013-14).

A resident of Auburn, his two vivid memories are the heat of 2014 and “the hill.”

“I love challenges,” he said.

“Running is part of my life that gives me focus and sense of direction.”

Last year, Moninda used running as a vehicle to create awareness. He ran 3,700 miles across the country from Maine to California to spread awareness of human trafficking and to end the labor trafficking of elite athletes and more. The run became known as the Moninda Movement.

“I realized that I can use my running to create change in our community. Hence my reason of running,” he said. “I used to run for me, but now I run for others.”

The Moninda Movement is a continuous project under Escape From Freedom 501c3, whose mission is to educate and create awareness on human trafficking, inspire people of all ages, mostly the young generation to not only get up and engage in healthy physical activities, but to also make right, healthy choices on a day-to-day basis.

“I strongly believe that for any meaningful change to be realized in this world, there must be a deliberate effort to positively influence and impact our young ones. We must model a path for them to build their lives on and continue to do so for other generations to come,” said Moninda, who is a professional Kenyan runner whose life has been full CHAMPIONS, Page 8C

BRIDGTON 4 ON THE FOURTH • Sunday, July 3 and Monday, July 4 2016 is the race’s 40th anniversary. New features in 2016 will be a Kids Fun Run/Walk, sponsored by Grandy Oats, on Sunday, July 3, at 5 p.m., with a choice of 1/4, 1/2 or 1-mile track (distance to be selected when registering, starts at Bridgton Memorial School, registration held from 3:30 to 5 p.m.).

All registration for the July 4th race will again be online (fouronthefourth.com). There will be no registration at early pickup or on race day. Registration will close when 2,300 runners have registered or at 8 p.m. (EDT) on Saturday, July 2, 2016.

This year, 150 technical t-shirts and an unlimited number of cotton t-shirts with the unique 40th Anniversary design will be sold online. Online sale of the cotton t-shirts will end on May 15.

From June 15 through June 30, the registration fee is $25. Registration after June 30, if available, will be $30.

The fee increases after June 15 are to encourage completion of registration prior to July 1. Typically, 100 to 150 no-shows on Race Day (118 in 2015), so race officials will allow a maximum registration of approximately 2,300.

Families of up to six members may register in one credit card transaction.

Runners should be “in the pack” at 8 a.m. on July 4. If a runner is more than three or four minutes late, a start time from the start mats will not be available.

The Race Committee has noted an increased number of “bandits” – runners and walkers participating in the race without a race bib. A runner or walker without a race bib is taking advantage of the work done by the Race Committee and volunteers to organize and conduct the race. Bandits add to the density of the pack and are unfair to the purpose of the race, which is to support the Bridgton Public Library and other local charities.

5K RUN BY THE LAKE 14th annual Harrison Park and Rec 5K Run by the Lake will be held on Wednesday, July 6 at 7 p.m., rain or shine.

Albany Mt. — Extra drive worth it Albany Mountain is a little farther afield from Bridgton than some of our other local mountains, but the extra drive is worth the effort.

The mountain is on the eastern side of the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) north of North Waterford and south of Bethel. Albany Mountain is the highest of a group of low hills, called collectively the Albany Mountains, and is a delightful, moderately difficult climb, with nice views from the summit ledges and some interesting features along the trail.

The main trail to the summit of Albany Mountain is the Albany Mountain Trail, 1.9 miles long. It follows old

Senior Rambles Hiking Trips & Tips

by Allen Crabtree woods roads for a part of the way, crosses on the beaver dam of a pretty beaver pond at 0.4 miles (photo opportunity), and climbs steadily from there. At 1.2 miles, the trail passes an impressive rock face (another photo opportunity) and continues another 0.3 miles to the trail junction where the Albany Notch Trail

connector enters from the right. Take the left trail to the summit of Albany Mountain at 0.4 miles farther. There are open ledge viewpoints on this trail before the main summit, and also on a side trail to the right, marked by cairns.

There is an alternate route to the summit starting at a southern trailhead. This route

Why wait for one to be built when you can start enjoying the Summer NOW?

Open House Sun., July 3 • 10 a.m.– 2 p.m.

follows the Albany Notch Trail for 2.9 miles up logging roads and stream crossings to the height-of-land at Albany Notch, then on the new connector trail to the junction 0.4 miles from the summit of Albany Mountain. A portion of the Albany Notch Trail has been abandoned because of flooding, and older maps may still show it.

Either route is fine, although the USFS does not plow the road to the Albany Mountain Trailhead in winter, making it another one of our three-season mountains (like Black Cap Mountain in North Conway). If you want to summit Albany Mountain in the winter the most direct route is via the Albany Notch Trail from the alternate trailhead.

But for a little matter of timing, the town of Albany and Albany Mountain might have had another name — Oxford. Albany was first settled in 1784, and Steve Pinkham, in his Mountains of Maine, Intriguing Stories Behind Their Names (2009), said that, “Albany…was first known as Township Number 5 and then as Oxford Plantation.” He goes on to tell that, “In 1803, the settlers petitioned the [General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts] to incorporate as a town by the name of Oxford, but were denied because there was a town in Massachusetts by that name already. The legislators instead chose the name Albany, for James Stuart, Duke of Albany, who had been granted much of Maine in 1664. He later became King James II of England.”

This ruling apparently did not stop the Massachusetts General Court from creating Oxford County from parts of York and Cumberland Counties on March 4, 1805.

In 1820, the new State of Maine acquired the authority to name towns when it was carved off from ALBANY, Page 4C

Waterflow disruption results in salmon loss

CASCO — An unexpected reduction in water flow at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Casco Hatchery is not expected to adversely affect stocking programs, officials reported.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife owns and operates a total of eight fish hatcheries and/or rearing stations across the state and stocks approximately 1.2 million fish each year.

Maine’s fish hatcheries play an important role in supporting sport fishing in Maine, which has a $360 million impact on the state’s economy.

Constructed in 1955, the fish hatchery and rearing station in Casco is responsible for approximately 12% of the department’s annual hatchery production. The facility raises landlocked salmon, brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout.

Recently, the Casco hatchery experienced an unexpected reduction in water flow entering the facility.

Unfortunately, the disruption in water flow caused the loss of many of the juvenile landlocked salmon (fry) being raised at the facility.

Anglers can be assured that the loss of salmon fry is not expected to adversely affect most of the salmon stocking programs in Southern Maine, as additional salmon production at the Grand Lake Stream hatchery and rearing station will offset the fry being raised at the Casco facility.

As a precautionary measure, some fish from the hatchery that would normally be stocked in early fall are being stocked in their planned locations now, and some fish are being relocated to other facilities.

The Casco hatchery is supplied with water by a single

pipeline from Pleasant Lake.

The intake pipe at the facility was identified as needing improvements in a recent infrastructure study that was conducted on all of the department’s hatcheries and rearing stations. Although the reason for the sudden disruption in flow has not yet been determined, the department’s fisheries biologists and hatchery staff are working hard to identify the cause and determine both short term and long-term solutions.

In the meantime, anglers across the state will still be able to enjoy the abundance of fishing opportunities that Maine has to offer. A current fish stocking report is available by visiting www.mefishwildlife.com

Albany Mountain hike (Continued from Page 2C) Massachusetts, and according to Stanley Bearce Attwood in The Length and Breadth of Maine (1946), when the Town of Oxford requested incorporation from the new State of Maine it was successful, and became Maine’s 285th town on Feb. 27, 1829. But for a few years and a different set of officials, the Town of Albany could have been the Town of Oxford, and it is a fair assumption that Albany Mountain might have been named Oxford Mountain.

Regardless of the mountain’s name, this is a delightful hike with nice views from the open summit ledges and with trails to the summit from both the north and the south. If you hike the Albany Mountain Trail, you will find that the first 1.5 miles of the trail go through mixed hardwoods with a steady, but not too steep, climb.

Why race sailboats?

Find out this summer

By David Eddy Lakes Region Sailing Club It’s almost automatic. Two sailboats out for an afternoon on the water, wind filling the sails, waves gently slapping at the hulls, a friendly hand held high in acknowledgment of the other. Then, the helm is turned, the boats aligned, sails sheeted in just a bit. The pace quickens, the skippers each turn their focus to getting some additional boat speed, and suddenly, it’s a race. No course, no marks, just an informal challenge and a natural desire to “see what she can do.”

Sailboat racing has been around from about the time that the first two working sailing craft headed back to harbor after a day at the nets, and almost anyone I know says, “I’ve always wanted to try sailing.” Sailing requires a blend of both brains and brawn, a bit of the weatherman, physics

major, engineer, gym rat, politician and psychiatrist. There are so many variables; the wind velocities and shifts, the waves, the presence of other boats.

And then there is the boat itself; how you set your sails, your degree of heel, and the manner in which you execute your moves. It is a complete and unending challenge.

That’s when I joined the Lakes Region Sailing Club about 20 years ago. I have a different boat today, but I still race in the club. So why race, you might ask? Race because racing gives sailing a goal and improves your sailing. Nothing tells you that you need to do something differently more quickly than seeing as a neighboring boat smoothly passes you by as your boat rocks in the waves. And good sailors are generally happy to tell you their secrets. Well, at least some of their secrets, anyway! Racing

makes your overall experience of sailing better. It increases your enjoyment to be able to do something well. And it increases your degree of comfort and safety when the conditions on the water start to get difficult as they sometimes do. Skill in big wind and waves is a real asset.

You say that you’ve never sailed before? That’s where the Lake Region Sailing Club comes in. Speak with a club member. Or click “Contact Us” on the club website at www. lakeregionsailingclub.com and go from there. There are many who can take you aboard for a day sail or even a race, and other than being comfortable aboard a boat, no experience is necessary. If you have sailed but never raced, participating on someone else’s boat is a great way to find out if sailing and sailboat racing is for you.

The Lake Region Sailing Club takes a low-pressure

GOOD SCIENCE SCHOLARSHIPS PRESENTED from left to right: Jennifer Franklin; Zainab Amiji; Christina Bryson; Leo McConnell (Hollis Factory Leadership Team), Bonny Eagle student Casey Ahlemeyer; Fryeburg Academy students Jake Maidment and Kaitlin Robinson; State Representative Don Marean; and Cameron Lorrain; Annette Phillips; Mike Spugnardi (Poland Spring Employees).

Poland Spring awards scholarships POLAND SPRING — In keeping with its commitment to invest in Maine people, Poland Spring Bottling Company recently awarded 24 Good Science Scholarships to high school seniors pursuing post-secondary education in science, engineering or the environment.

The recipients each received a $1,000 scholarship to support the next stage of their academic careers.

“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,” said Mark Dubois, Poland Spring’s Natural Resource manager.

“That’s why Poland Spring established the Good Science Scholarship program in 2007. Since its inception, our company has awarded more than $180,000 to Maine high school seniors, and that is something we are particularly proud of.”

Scholarships were awarded to: Four students from Fryeburg Academy: Molly Eklund, Hannah Howard, Jake Maidment and Kaitlin Robinson.

Five students from Mt. Abram High School: Riley

Mclaughlin, Travis Chaput, Sarah Stanley, Seth Thomas and Finley MacKay. Two students from Rangeley Lakes Regional School: Benjamin Forsman and Blayke Morin.

Four students from Poland Regional High School: Erin Brewer, Carly King, Katelyn Smith and Nicholas Hodge.

Four students from Gray-New Gloucester High School: Kate Donovan, Austin Gallant, Tristan Herod and Courtney Keller.

Five students from Bonny Eagle High School: Madeline Logan, Troy Bogdahn, Casey Ahlemeyer, Alexis Roberts

and Nicole Lovejoy.

“Given how expensive college tuition is these days, Poland Spring is pleased to help these local scholars as they pursue careers in science, engineering and the environment,” added Dubois. “Investing in Maine is what we do best and we wish each of these young scholars well as they begin their post-secondary education.”

In addition to the scholarships, the recipients, their families and faculty from the recipients’ schools were invited to attend a tour of one of the three Poland Spring bottling factories.

During the week in Cape May, the PVAS students were also able to enjoy some of the area attractions such as the Cape May Zoo, the Cape May Point lighthouse and the Wildwood boardwalk and amusement park.

Students participating were Steven Day, Danielle Distefano, Jasmine Fuller, Alicia Gerrish, Sahila Jaber, Jessica L’Hommedieu, Rebecca Longpre, Lucas Rogers, Jaime Weil and Amber Wheeler, along with faculty Dede Frost and Andy Kearns.

Students and faculty began the workweek at the Birding Observatory of Cape May removing inva-

years, and PVAS was able to make the project a success.

On Wednesday, students spent the day working at the Audubon Society Nature Center of Cape May creating a new trail in a planned pollinator garden. The goal was to put a continuous trail through the garden to make it more accessible to the public.

The process involved placing three layers of newspaper down to prevent plants from growing on the cleared path, which then had to be watered and covered by landscaping fabric and finally mulch. In addition, the group helped unload hundreds of native plants for the annual plant sale to benefit the National Audubon Society.

Wednesday night, The Fish and Game Department of Cape May hosted a Horseshoe Crab tagging.

PVAS along with other volunteers from the area went to Kimbles Beach in the evening when Horseshoe Crabs approached the shores. The organization has been tagging Horseshoe Crabs since 2001, with 12,500 Horseshoe

Crabs to date. Tagging the crabs was a group effort.

First, the crabs had to be located in the water using headlamps. After carrying them out of the water, other members of the team identified the sex, then drilled a hole into the left side of the shell and placed the tag.

The PVAS group was able to tag 75 crabs to add to the Fish and Game Department’s database.

Friday morning, students traveled to Two Mile Beach Unit of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge.

Here, the group removed more invasive species such as Vetch and Canary Grass, and planted over a dozen native species, more than 100 plants in total, to create a pollinator area at the entrance to the Visitor Center. Plants included Wild Columbine, Bearberry, Wild Bergamot and Sneezeweed. Native species are essential for the environment because they provide a natural food source for native birds and insects.

After finishing with the work at the Visitor Center,

the group took a walk down the boardwalk to the beach.

Although the beach was closed for nesting Plovers, several pods of dolphins were visible a few hundred yards off shore.

This trip was made possible by fundraising efforts by students and faculty of the Pequawket Valley Alternative School throughout the year, but primarily parking cars daily during Fryeburg Fair.

As fundraising becomes more difficult, the program welcomes contributions and donations to support ongoing service endeavors. Students were pleased to work with several different organizations and make an impact on the community and the environment.

Senior Jamie Weil commented, “It was honestly a great experience for me as a senior; seeing everyone’s reactions to our work, and how it looked when we were done. Each organization thanked us a thousand times over after we finished a job, and it felt good to see how appreciative they were.”

“We had to use loppers and shears, and wear gloves to cut down certain plants because they were all intertwined and many had thorns,” said Danielle Distefano.

The cleared area will now be used to create an outdoor birding habitat for birds found along the coast of New Jersey, as well as a trail for the public.

The group then worked with the Center for Research and Education, where they again removed invasive species, weeded a pollinator garden and planted a new native species.

“We divided into groups so the work would get done faster and more efficiently,” said Sahila Jaber, “although the rain wasn’t pleasant to work in, it made it much easier to remove the roots of the invasive species.”

His memories from Bridgton include “a tough hill” and Rusty Snow “outkicking me twice” to claim wins. Snow won an unprecedented six straight Bridgton races, 19962001.

What struck him about the race? “It seemed like the entire town turned out to watch and cheer,” he said. “I love to just run and live to compete (even though I’m a lot slower now).”

It is up in the air whether Dave will be amongst those taking part in Monday’s race, since he will be running the USA Mountain Championships the day before.

Erin Flynn (a two-time champ, 2009 and 2015) made her first trip to Bridgton a winning one, as well.

“I first ran Bridgton in 2009. At the time, I was living in New York City and was spending my first summer of weekends in Maine with my boyfriend (now husband). Having been raised in Maine, he was very familiar with the high level of competition that the race draws so he suggested that I run it,” said the 37-year-old from Newton, Mass., whose family has a camp in Denmark.

Silas will be running Bridgton for the 14th time, and looking to push himself to beat last year’s overall time.

“I use this race, as well as a few others, as a marker of how my summer training is going as I get ready for college racing in the fall,” he said. “Can’t wait for race day!”

Emily Ward of Richmond, Va. Competed in Bridgton just once, 2012, and won.

“My family vacations in Naples each year and I was training for a half-Ironman at the time and thought I would jump into the race for fun,” said the now 34-year-old. “I normally do not race short distances, so it felt very fast! My best memory was seeing my relatives cheer me on as I made a right at the last turn before the finish.”

When asked what did she like the most about the race, Emily said, “The no-frills, local feel. So many races nowadays are so big and promote bells and whistles (bands, swag, amenities) and Bridgton is as local and fun as it gets.”

What she enjoys most about running is that it is the only time in her day in which she can be fully present and let my mind wander.

“It was this race that gave me the confidence and enthusiasm as a 17-year-old to keep training and launch what turned out to be a long running career,” he said.

Peter finished second twice in 20:18 and 20:24.

“Both times, I went out too fast and older, more wily, racers passed me,” he recalled.

“I’ve always regretted that I never won this race, but I’ve enjoyed the competition every year that I’ve raced. See you on the 4th!”

Last year, at 53, he won his age category (50-54) in 23:06.

HE’LL BE BACK AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK — Silas Eastman (right #411) will be running in this year’s anniversary edition of the Bridgton 4 on the Fourth Road Race. The former Fryeburg Academy star won the race back in 2012.

when I run it. The race director, Jim Cossey, and his team are so welcoming to all the runners who come to take part in this storied 4th of July tradition. ” Erin loves the “history and the purity of this race.”

“Bridgton 4 on the Fourth represents all that is great about the sport of running. It’s about a community of people coming together, year after year, to share in their love of running on one of the most important days of the year in our country,” she said. “I enjoy so many things about running, but above all, I love that it’s a constant path to self discovery. It has taught me that with commitment, hard work and a positive attitude, we are all capable of so much more than we think. ” Erin has competed in Bridgton five times, and will be returning for a sixth on Monday. “You bet! I look forward to a tough race and a fun after party!” she said.

For Silas Eastman, Bridgton on the Fourth has been a constant in his life.

“I started running 4 on the Fourth in 2003 when I was eight years old with my summer camp, Camp Owatonna,” said Silas, now 21, a resident of Chatham, N.H. “I can remember one of the first years that I ran the race, running it in skateboard shoes because I was going through that phase. Needless to say, it wasn’t that comfortable, but that was back when I still stopped to walk a lot.”

Silas became one of Maine’s top runners, winning several state championships during his four-years at Fryeburg Academy.

“I also have lots of great memories of running with Fryeburg Academy teammates (at 4 on the Fourth), as well as former Academy runner Tim Even, who I ran side-by-side with until the finishing straight the year that I won (2012).”

Silas loves the energy of the race.

“All of the camps that participate really emphasize how many people are out there just to have a good time and run with friends. It’s a great feeling to show up to the start line and see how excited the crowd is,” he said. “I run because I enjoy competing, both against others and against myself. Every year, I want to get a better time

Like many others, Sally Sundborg of Harrison found competing in the Bridgton race was a perfect compliment to Fourth of July family activities.

“The first time I ran Bridgton was in 1981, the year I won it. We would spend our summer vacations in Maine over the Fourth so timing wise it was perfect,” she said. “I was getting into competing and knew it was a good race.

My time was 23:53, the course record at the time. It was a well-run race with really good prizes. A shorter course than I was used to running, but just the right amount of hills and shade.”

Sally grew attached to the race because she enjoyed people along the course who were very encouraging, and it gave her a chance to shine in front of family members.

Over the years, Sally captured 14 medals or plaques for winning her age group including last year at age 65.

“I am looking forward to running this year and seeing a few old fellow runners and hopefully adding another trophy to the collection,” she said.

Dave Dunham also struck gold in his first run at Bridgton.

A resident of Bradford, Mass., Dave first competed here in 1995.

Small World

by Henry Precht BN Columnist

The world upside down

Last week, British citizens voted — albeit narrowly — to withdraw from the European Union, membership they have held since 1973. That decision came despite (or because of?) dire warnings from elites, domestic and foreign, that such a move would be terribly unwise and damaging for the nation.

Instead, it proved most harmful for the Conservative Party and its leader David Cameron, who announced his resignation.

Scotland, which voted to stay in, began to discuss another vote on separating from the English and going its own independent way within Europe. Northern Ireland also voted against leaving. The areas voting heavily to sever the connection were the ex-industrial centers of Labor Party strength.

Britain outside the EU would lose influence in Europe and across the world, the elites told voters. The wealth that has crowded into London would withdraw to more favorable financial centers in Europe — notably Germany and Switzerland — and across the Atlantic. The “special relationship” with the United States would be replaced by closer American-German cooperation. Jobs lost, pensions threatened, a weaker pound, increased wine and cheese prices — you name the troubles, the UK on its own would be fated to suffer them all.

Why, then, did the average pub denizen — older voters rather than younger — ignore his or her masters? But hold on! Before we allow ourselves to become too Britcentric, let us contemplate other developed nations, including our very own. Hungary, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, even Sweden plus others — all host right-wing or populist parties who won’t play the established parties’ game. (And be sure to count in the followers of Sanders and Trump.) Why have we all become so angry, so contemptuous of established authorities? Let’s try out a few answers: • First, that old favorite for dividing peoples, nationalism.

Although many younger peoples are able to look over national boundaries and feel less tightly bound to the homeland, the ancient sentiment of “Us First!” remains powerful. The brutal evidence of past wars and persisting tensions seems to make no difference: “Britons (or Germans or Hungarians) first, Europeans second” is the cry.

• Allied to this ideology is the pragmatic demand for restrictions on immigration. “No more Polish plumbers, no more Mexican rapists.” They’re stealing our jobs and changing our society. Ship them home. Tightly control our own borders.

• Then, there are the economic grievances. Our manufacturing and service industries have for some time been shipped overseas to low wage areas. Their products have been shipped back, but without jobs we can’t afford them. Trade pacts, promoted by classical economists are condemned by politicians from the Left (Sanders) and Right (Trump). More to blame, perhaps, are the technologies that are transforming the traditional workplaces — for the operation of which traditional workers are all too often unskilled.

• No small item on the economic agenda is the sharpening class warfare. The gap between those who have the advanWORLD, Page 6D

Medicare nugget

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor A program that has helped seniors understand the many intricacies of Medicare, as well as save them millions of dollars, would be eliminated by a budget bill approved in June by the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. The program is called the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, or SHIP. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., chairman of the appropriation committee’s health and labor subcommittee, said in a statement last week: “Cutting these ‘unnecessary federal programs’ helped provide needed funding for other efforts.”

How he can call the SHIP program unnecessary is beyond my comprehension. SHIP counselors are in every state, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories offering free advice on how to choose from an array of drug and health insurance plans, challenge coverage denials, and receive financial subsidies for premiums, copayments and deductibles. They provide one-on-one counseling as well as host enrollment clinics, informational meetings, special “Welcome to Medicare” events for new beneficiaries and answer questions over toll-free telephone help lines. Local SHIP programs cannot survive without federal support.

Howard Bedlin, vice president at the National Council on Aging said, “Last year, SHIPs helped seven million people navigate this program and without those services, people will not be able to make wellinformed choices. That’s going to cost them money.”

I am a SHIP counselor and have been privileged to have helped hundreds of Maine seniors figure out the intricacies of Medicare. Ask them if the SHIP program is worthwhile.

Medicare volunteer counselors are available for one-on-one consultations at no charge. Call the Bridgton Community Center at 647-3116 to arrange for an appointment.

CELEBRATING A MILESTONE — Tarry-a-While resort in Bridgton was the setting for the Lakeside Garden Club’s 30th anniversary celebration last Thursday. Thirty members enjoyed a lobster salad luncheon. Pat Owen, a founding member, spoke on the history of Lakeside Garden Club. Awards were presented to past presidents and members who have served over the past 10 years.

Heroism of Michael Monsoor

On June 18, more than a thousand people came together on the bank of the Kennebec River to both celebrate the christening of the newest Navy ship built at Bath Iron Works and honor the man for whom it’s named.

The USS Michael Monsoor is named after Petty Officer Second Class (SEAL) Michael Monsoor, who heroically dove on an insurgent’s grenade during combat in Iraq in 2006, shielding three fellow SEALs and eight Iraqi Army soldiers from the blast. He later died from his wounds, but his selfless bravery and his sacrifice lives on to this day. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President George W. Bush in recognition of his remarkable courage and sacrifice.

Michael Monsoor is a hero with a capital “H” because he knowingly and unflinchingly gave up his life to protect others. When the grenade was thrown onto the roof that day, it hit him in the chest and bounced to the ground. Before he dove on it, he shouted, “Grenade!”

What that tells us is something special about this moment in time — that his actions were knowing and deliberate. He was completely conscious of the sacrifice he was about to make. Reading and rereading his story and thinking about it made me reflect about what it means to be a hero.

It seems to me there are two elements that are demonstrated by Michael Monsoor’s action: one is sacrifice, and the second is love. Love isn’t something you often hear spoken by politicians involving warships — but love is part of heroism. At the christening, Senator Collins quoted John 15: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” And that’s exactly what happened in this case.

But there is a third aspect to heroism that is of equal significance in this story, and that is inspiration and teaching.

From Washington

by Angus King United States Senator Heroism teaches us how to act, how to think, how to be.

Indeed, it teaches us how to love.

Few of us will find ourselves on a roof in wartime or on a hill at Gettysburg. But does that mean that none of us can be heroes? That we’re merely bystanders while certain great people act on our behalf? I don’t think so.

I think we all have opportunities to be heroes — perhaps with a small “h” — each day in our lives and in our relationships with our fellow citizens. A hero of mine, for example, is the late Leon Gorman, the former president of L.L.Bean.

He’s a hero not because of the success he had in business, but because every Wednesday he went to Preble Street in Portland and cooked breakfast and served it to homeless people. He made a sacrifice of his time and effort, and he did it out of love.

Another hero of mine is a former high school classmate, who, in the 1960s, led by example and helped welcome the first African American students to our high school. In a tense moment that could have easily turned negative, this young man extended his hand in a gesture of kindness that I will never forget.

Michael Monsoor made the ultimate sacrifice, and he too did it for love. But he was not a hero. He is a hero. Because the inspiration, the education, and the guidance he provided to all of us is going to live as long as the USS Michael Monsoor sails the seas of the world.

I want to thank the people at Bath Iron Works, who built that ship, and the people who will sail it. But above all, I want to thank Michael Monsoor for teaching us what it means to be a hero. Godspeed to the mighty ship that bears his name.

Unrest with big government

Big government elites around the world are shocked by the Brexit vote, and they’re not sure what it means.

Conservatives, like me, believe the smaller the government, the better, so I’m pleased. The elites over there fear more countries will pull out of the European Union.

Though it has been present for quite a while, the elites here are just beginning to sense the same unrest with big government in America.

Moving from big-government Massachusetts to rural Maine in 1977, I quickly learned that local control was prized. There was, for example, a movement to withdraw my new town of Lovell from the Maine School Administrative District #72 which it had joined only a few years before. I was director of Special Education, a district-wide job requiring me to travel around to six elementary and junior high schools to supervise staff.

My position grew out of a federal mandate and it was all about meetings, paperwork, phone calls, paperwork and more meetings.

The district borrowed to build the New Suncook School in Lovell. It wasn’t paid off yet so that was an issue in Lovell’s pulling out. It was overcrowded already and just down the street was the old, unused Annie Heald School, a wooden building owned by the town. The superintendent asked me to attend a Lovell Budget Committee meeting to inquire about the district leasing it. “Sure,” I said.

I was new, so I introduced myself and made the pitch.

The Yankee Republicans who dominated the committee in those days looked at me silently for nearly a full minute after I was done. “Any questions?” I asked. One older guy with sharp eyes and arms folded across his chest said, “Yeah, I have a question.”

“Okay,” I said.

“Ten years ago, when the superintendent wanted Lovell to join this new district, he said the Annie Heald School was a firetrap and they had to build a new school.

Now, after the old school has been sitting there for 10 years with nothing done to it, they say they want to use it again?”

“Good question,” I said.

I had no idea about any of that and felt that I’d been set up. Locals believed they’d been manipulated by the “bigger is better” argument bureaucrats so often use, and maybe they had. The effort to pull out of the district failed though, because people like me with young families were moving up from Massachusetts and other states. We thought ourselves better educated and believed bigger was better too. I do not believe that anymore.

Shortly after, I was elected a selectman and served with two Yankee Republicans, who thought Lovell people knew what was best for Lovell, that their judgment was

by Tom McLaughlin BN Columnist better than the state’s or the federal government’s and they could govern themselves more effectively if they were left alone. After nine years, I became convinced they were right, and that was one of the realizations pushing my political perspective from left to right.

Washington mandates created my job in Fryeburg. I supervised the Title I program as well, another federal program. The feds have since taken over the school lunch program and now curriculum too. More tax revenue went to Augusta and Washington. What little came back had strings attached — most recently concerning who can go into what locker rooms and bathrooms, for one example.

Back then, I was one of only three administrators and two secretaries in a district with 1,200 students K-8. There are 1,160 students now, but double the administrators, way more secretaries, way more teachers, much bigger buildings, much more paperwork, many more meetings, and a much bigger budget. Is there more learning going on for all that? After 34 years teaching in the district, I have to say no. I could make a strong case that there’s less.

Now the federal government had taken over health care — doing about the same with that as they have with schools. Washington, working with the United Nations, is planting refugees all over the country, a hundred here, 500 there — often without even informing local cities and towns they’re coming. Students in Manchester, N.H. schools speak 82 different languages, a severe strain. The mayor there has asked the feds to stop, but they won’t.

Washington knows what’s best for Manchester. When Lewiston, Maine’s mayor said his city couldn’t accept any more Somali refugees, big government liberals called him a racist. There are similar problems in Portland, where one out of seven people were born outside the country.

Similar problems have been plaguing the UK and other EU countries for decades, and they were a major factor in the Brexit vote. Big government elites running the EU say the UK should take still more refugees. Ordinary Brits want local control and last week they shocked the elites by voting to leave the EU. More countries will follow.

Let’s look at just two statements in “Stop the Killing:” “Polls show that the larger part of the American public want effective gun controls;” “Donald Trump wants everyone to be armed.”

These are “assertions” — there is no attribution, no verification, no sources to back up what Mr. Precht says.

So, what are we to make of these assertions?

I don’t recall Donald Trump saying he wanted “everyone to be armed.” If he did say it, and because it is such a profound and provocative statement, Mr. Precht has an obligation to provide attribution and verification.

As to Mr. Precht’s assertion that “Polls show that the larger part of the American public want effective gun control,” where are the poll figures?

His assertion is in sharp contrast to an article in the Portland Press Herald that discusses, in exhaustive detail, a poll of Mainers opinions on immigration (“Region, income shape immigration views,” Portland Press Herald, June 27, 2016).

To quote Sarah Peller in those Burger King commercials, “Where’s the beef?”

How many humans?

To The Editor: Thank you to BN staff writer Wayne E. Rivet for his story on Hannah Rousey, a recent graduate of Fryeburg Academy, who respectfully declined a scholarship because of the hypocrisy of the organization offering the scholarship. She was one of five graduates who were chosen to receive a $1,000 Poland Spring Good Science scholarship. I contributed to the GoFundMe page started for Hannah so that I could show my support for her and help replace that $1,000 sacrifice. As of today, the fund has reached more than six times that amount!

I am impressed with the level of integrity and virtue shown by Hannah as she expressed her appreciation for the award before saying that she could not in good faith accept the money because Poland Springs does not exhibit sustainable and ethical practices, and because she is walking her own talk. I am referring to her practice of using her own water and water bottle rather than contributing to the profits of a greedy corporation and the millions of plastic bottles going into landfills.

I am thankful for and proud of Hannah for her plans to pursue a degree in sustainable agriculture and

Kids and the water

To The Editor, Today, I am writing about a recent event at Highland Lake. It was a beautiful day.

There were a couple of families there with their young kids, and I was there with my daughter and her friend. We were all doing the responsible thing of watching over our own kids that we were responsible for. Then, some teenagers show up. They were fine. I had no issues with them at all. It was the younger sibling they brought with them I have issues with.

This is where parents need to lay down some ground rules ahead of time. I really hope you are reading this or sharing this with your kids or maybe you know whom I am talking about as I describe the incident.

This young person had a water cannon and was shooting streams of water anywhere from 15 to 25 feet, depending on the amount pressure this child had built up in the pump action of it. This young person was threatening to soak some people, did soak others, and aimed it at some who were holding electronic devices who were taking pictures of their kids. I was one of these parents taking pictures for the moms who could not be there on this beautiful day. This young child (while this child may be 10 or 11 years old) really had no business bringing a water cannon and using it that way. There is a thing called proper respect for others. I will say that I told this child to knock it off or there would be a conversation with me and a local police officer because enough was becoming enough. I mean some of us have some nice cameras and decent cell phones and we don’t want anything to LETTERS, Page 6D

Joyce M. Belliveau

SEBAGO — Joyce Marie (Drane) Belliveau, 72, of Sebago passed away on Saturday, June 25, 2016, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.

She was born Jan. 31, 1944, in Medford, Mass., a daughter of the late John and Daisy (Burgeron) Drane. She was a graduate of Malden High School, Class of 1961, where she was a majorette. She married Robert Belliveau in 1962. While raising their family in Malden, Joyce was an active supporter of the Malden Youth Hockey program.

She organized the “Mighty Muffins” in 1974 and played with other moms against their sons in the hockey program.

After moving to Sebago in 1976, Joyce became an active member of the local PTA and served on the SAD 61 School Board. She had many odd jobs over the years to support her family including being an Avon Lady in the Long Lake area. In the mid eighties, Joyce moved her family to Maryland to support her husband’s career. There, she enjoyed her career as an administrative assistant for the First National Bank of Maryland.

Over the years, Joyce became the center hub of her growing and spreading family. She was known as an amazing cook with a heart of gold. She enjoyed cake decorating, crocheting and painting ceramics. Her proudest achievements, in her own words, are her 14 grandchildren.

Joyce is predeceased in death by her parents and her husband.

She is survived by her siblings, Jack Drane of Wakefield, Mass. and Marion DeMayo of Saugus, Mass.; her six children, Robert of Sebago, Paul of Madison, Conn., Richard of West Palm Beach, Fla., James of Falmouth, Donna of Minneapolis, Minn. and Jean of Summerlin, Nev.; numerous friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A service will be held in her honor at the North Sebago Methodist Church, on Thursday, July 7 at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sebago Volunteer EMS, P.O. Box 250, Sebago, ME 04029.

Martha Day Martin LEWISTON — Martha Day Martin, 81, of Harrison, died peacefully early Sunday morning, June 26, 2016, at the Central Maine Medical Center with her family in attendance. She had been diagnosed with Wegener’s Disease in May, leading to several weeks of hospitalization and treatment prior to her death. A team of nurses, doctors and medical professionals worked hard to make her final weeks as comfortable as possible.

Martha Joan Day was born on Jan. 8, 1935 in Portland. Her parents, Dr. Rubie Woodcock Day and Dr. O. Kenneth Day, were physicians with a practice based in their home office on Main Street in Harrison. Martha attended Harrison Grammar School and Bridgton High School where she graduated as class valedictorian.

She went on to attend Stephens College in Columbia, Miss., where she received an Associate of Arts degree. While in college, her focus of study was the fine arts. She studied the harp, sculpture and jewelry-making. Her artwork won her a scholarship to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she planned to continue her studies. However, her high school sweetheart, Rex Martin, proposed and she accepted. The couple moved together, first to Boston, then to Missouri where Rex completed medical school. By the time they returned to Harrison to open a medical practice, they had three children: Heather, Eric and Paul.

Martha supported her husband as his Executive Administrative Assistant, handling all billing, insurance claims, and maintaining office inventory. When their children were grown the couple traveled together to medical conferences around the country.

Martha was a member of the Harrison Congregational Church, the Harrison Krafty Kritters social group, and several book clubs.

She enjoyed gardening, needlework, and baking. As a resident of Harrison her entire life, she will be missed, but fondly remembered, by many friends and neighbors.

She is survived by her sister, Susan Day Wilton; her daughter, Heather; her sons, Eric and Paul; granddaughters, Shannon and Savannah; her grandson, William; and her great-grandsons, Dallys, Taylor and Dominic.

Services will be held at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, July 2, at the United Parish UCC of Harrison and North Bridgton, 77 Main St., Harrison. The family requests that donations in lieu of flowers be made in her name to the United Parish UCC of Harrison & North Bridgton, P.O. Box 95, Harrison, ME 04040, or to the Harrison Public Library, P.O. Box 597, Harrison, ME 04040. Arrangements are in the care of the Chandler Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 8 Elm St., Bridgton. Words of condolence and tribute may be shared with her family at www.chandlerfunerals.com

World upside down (Continued from Page 1D) tages in background, tax shelters and education and, above all, capital, appear wider than any time since the days of robber barons. For many, the ballot is the only means of expressing rising discontent. The response of those at the top under siege is to divert voter attention to social issues, old style nationalism and foreign influence — and away from ways to reduce wealth inequality.

• Finally — unless, dear reader, you have another grievance you would like to throw in the pot — are the changes that are sweeping away traditional ways and values. Behaviors that used to be regarded as sinful are now tolerated, even celebrated.

The world today isn’t the same as your parents’. What will it be like for your kids?

So what can we expect? More and worse of the same, I think. Maybe we’ll be lucky and escape the extreme expressions of these ailments such as we witness in the chaotic Middle East. It seems certain, however, that there will be politicians eager to exploit these worldwide discontents and to aggravate them. We can see that in almost every European country and, as I say, our very own. Better batten down the hatches!

I just ask that some of these toys be left at home as that is where they are meant to be used. They are not meant to be used as weapons of displeasure for others who want to enjoy the beach area.

Now the kids I had with me were more than willing to show the child just how disrespectful the child was being, but I reminded them that I didn’t want them stooping to that level and while it may be justified it would not make them a better person for doing it. All this caused in the end was for all of us to leave.

This situation ruined our fun.

There is plenty of space for swimming in this area, but there is no reason for this kind of foolishness. Please remember, summer is just beginning and tourists are only just beginning to arrive.

As adults, we set the example for our local area. It is up to us to also let our kids know that they too must also show that they are welcome ambassadors for our town. While a good many of us do show a positive attitude to our visitors from away, we apparently need to teach some of the others in the area what their responsibility is to this community.

of past political decisions upon current national and global crises can be detrimental. While seeking a more balanced background regarding the results accomplished when selecting both presidents and representatives to the Senate and House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. during the 20th and 21st centuries in particular, I have read a variety of publications. I’ve read very informative articles in several publications each of which emphasize either conservative or “progressive” ideologies and policies. Most intend to influence voters through primarily emotional appeals combined with a few facts. Unfortunately, unbiased accounts are rare.

As a retired former elementary level substitute teacher and reading/writing specialist with an avid interest in American history, I want to recommend to history teachers at every level that they add the following article to their summer reading list. I think they might find it helpful when trying to clarify for students how our political system has descended to the current level of “form without substance.”

What might be the results of acting impulsively before acquiring complete, unbiased factual information?

The May, 2016 edition of Harper’s magazine offers an essay entitled, American Imperium: Untangling truth and fiction in an age of perpetual war, by Andrew J. Bacevich. Most folks should be able to better distinguish between informed patriotism and blind, emotional loyalty after absorbing this concise, unusually thorough account of America’s military commitments between 1898 and 2016. If it were used as part of a more complete history course of study, it might require several separate segments of lesson plans in order

to avoid the danger of important information not being retained beyond “test day.”

Music has also always been a tool I could use to help me more readily remember important events, etc.

Memory can’t retain everything. It’s good to at least remember where you encountered the information. I’ve spent countless hours in the quietest spots in public and private libraries since I entered middle school in 1962. Books became friends.

I was also a member of choral groups from middle school through college. The official term for my limited ability is “singing by ear.” I get therapeutic inspiration from singing my favorite songs whenever an emotional need arises. Including exposure to the music of various generations of Americans in conjunction with history recorded in books, portraits and documentaries can be a great way to help young people relate to their ancestors.

Songs I heard sung by Peter, Paul and Mary during those turbulent ’60s and ’70s entitled When Will They Ever Learn and The Answer is Blowing in the Wind helped me reduce stress during these turbulent times in the 21st century. Children “have to be carefully taught.” Impartial, consistent transmission of unbiased facts and truth to all citizens should decrease the likelihood of nations repeating catastrophic political and military stalemates and derailments. Countries or various internal political factions, which have amended the original intent of the traditional coin toss to be “Heads I win, tails you lose” emphasize dominance rather than cooperation and compromise.

If wide-spread military interventions remain the preferred means for resolving disputes worldwide, humans may discover the true meaning

Wow!

To The Editor: I read in awe your article entitled, “New Grad Makes a Bold Statement.” All I can say is Wow! Here is a young lady who “walks the walk and talks the talk.” I applaud her, her family and the school community for giving her a very strong ethical compass.

Taking the scholarship was the low road, she chose to take the high road and decline the scholarship. Tell me the fund where I can contribute to help her realize her goal.

Thank you Hannah!

I’m a very sweet girl that likes to be patted.

I have only lived with seniors but I seem to be very friendly with the shelter staff. They are unsure how I feel about dogs and cats at this moment. I’m a very flirty girl that likes to show off when people walk by. I’m a rather quiet kitty looking for a home with lots of snuggles to give! I’m currently being treated for bladder stones, which may required for me to be on a special diet.” Visit our website to see other cats and dogs waiting for a new home! www.harvest-hills.org

She works as an artist-in-residence in folk arts, storytelling and writing as well as a private teacher and a performer. Jennifer was a featured teller at the National Storytelling Festival in 1998 and 2010, has been heard on NPR and has music recordings and published books to her credit.

In Sebago, besides fiddling and singing, Jennifer will tell farm stories including The Leaky Bucket, and stories about racing Turtle. She may also bring along her dancing puppet.
