Is latest cut enough?

SAD 61 eliminates Grade 1 teacher, community use funds

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Is $75,000 in additional cuts enough to land a “yes” vote for the SAD 61 proposed budget?

It depends upon whom you ask.

Some directors, such as Laura Ordway of Bridgton and Janice Barter of Naples, believe that the slim margin of defeat (16 votes) at the polls a few weeks ago hardly represents a “mandate” for deeper cuts.

So, after hearing Leadership Team members outline where further cuts could be made, a majority of the school board decided a little trimming was in order.

Presented with three recommended cuts, directors chose just two — eliminating a Grade 1 teacher at Stevens Brook Elementary, saving $40,000, and cutting $35,000 to fund commu-

nity use of school facilities.

A third cut — a Fine Arts teacher at Lake Region High School for a savings of $37,000 — was narrowly defeated last Thursday at a meeting held at Lake Region Middle School.

Following a 9-3 vote to move forward a $25,807,500 general fund budget to taxpayers in 12 days, Casco Director Donna Norton simply said, “We’ll be back.”

By a 7-3 vote, the proposed $693,733 adult education budget was approved by directors.

Casco rejected the previous budget by 44 votes, which is why Norton wanted to see a cut that topped the $100,000 mark.

“I realize the budget failed by just 16 votes, but in Casco it was 44. Casco sent a strong message that the budget needs to be cut,” Norton said.

Sebago Director Richard

Merritt, whose town also defeated the last budget (by 12 votes), also felt a significant cut was needed.

During the evening’s discussion, Merritt moved for a $75,000 cut in the district’s technology line and $125,000 from maintenance, thus forcing SAD 61 to use high school construction/renovation funds to address PCB removal — a point strongly suggested by Sebago residents. Both motions failed. He also spoke about whether it is “appropriate” to spend school district money to “subsidize” programs like afterschool care.

Since the original budget was proposed, the school board has made reductions totaling $337,000 — $172,000, $90,000 and now $75,000.

This year’s budget includes the first debt service payment of $705,000 on the high school renSAD 61, Page A

Currently, the three Cumberland County commissioners represent about 93,000 citizens each.

Commissioner Susan Witonis, of Casco, said at a meeting there last week that she presently represents 15 communities from Harpswell to Harrison that cover 153 miles.

Beginning next year, the five Cumberland County commissioners will each represent approximately 56,000 citizens per district.

Commissioner District 1 will include the towns of Baldwin, Bridgton, Gorham, Harrison, Scarborough, Sebago and Standish and represent 55,882 citizens.

Commissioner District 2 will consist of Casco, Chebeague Island, Cumberland, Falmouth, Frye Island, Long Island, Naples, Raymond, Windham and Yarmouth, and represent 56,228 citizens.

Commissioner District 3 will include the communities

of Brunswick, Freeport, Gray, Harpswell, New Gloucester, North Yarmouth and Pownal and represent 54,021 citizens.

Commissioner District 4 will consist of Cape Elizabeth, Portland (Precinct 5-2 only), South Portland and Westbrook and represent 56,464 citizens.

Commissioner District 5 consists of the city of Portland (except Precinct 5-2) and represents 55,964 citizens.

Free lunches fill summer void

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — April Noyes, a mother of two boys, said the free lunches at the Naples Town Beach cut costs in the family budget. The lunches are con-

venient, too, cutting down on trips back and forth on days her sons are swimming at the public beach on Long Lake.

“We are drop-by ‘beachers.’ Sometimes, we don’t have time to run home and make a

snack,” Noyes said.

Four-year-old Tyler Noyes did not calculate cost or convenience while he ate his strawberry-banana yogurt.

“Yummy,” he said.

The Naples Town Beach is one of five area-wide sites for the federally funded Free Summer Lunch Program.

Through the program, no-cost lunches are provided to kids and teens living in communities where 50 percent or more of the population already receives free or reduced school lunches.

The program runs from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. during the weekdays.

Sponsors pitch in Bon Appetit, which is located at St. Joseph’s College in Standish, sponsors the program for the towns of Casco, Harrison, Naples and Sebago.

“One of the key factors that interested us in the program is: It’s not just providing a lunch, but providing a nutritional lunch,” Bon Appetit General Manager Stuart Leckie said.

Contents of the lunch bag must adhere to the standards of the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), Leckie said. So, the menu must include 2 ounces of protein in addition JACOB NOYES, 7, spreads out his lunch on his boogie board. to the recommended amount of Noyes was one of 70 kids and teenagers who took advantage of whole grain and dairy prodthe Free Summer Lunch Program on July 7 in Naples. ucts, plus a serving of fresh fruit

YOUNG AND MOTIVATED — Justin McIver, owner of Main EcoHomes, believes Bridgton’s economic future depends on the willingness of young professionals like himself to invest their time, effort and money in projects like the four-lot commercial subdivision he is creating on the Portland Road and the new energy-efficient retail/office building he is building on Depot Street.

Young pro believes in Bridgton

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer When Justin McIver eyed the old Ward’s Drywall building across the highway to the south from his Main EcoHomes business at 171 Portland Road, he was thinking small.

He figured he could raze the structure and build another new, energy-efficient commercial building like the one he is currently putting up on Depot Street.

There wasn’t quite enough land, however, just a half acre, so he contacted the abutter,

Herbert Ginn, owner of Ginn Real Estate in South Portland.

Ginn owned a huge tract of undeveloped land in the vicinity of 260 Portland Road — the largest remaining lot north of Sandy Creek.

To McIver’s surprise, Ginn was willing to sell all 135 acres.

Planning Board favors Shorey Park rezoning

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer The Bridgton Planning Board agreed Tuesday to recommend to the Board of Selectmen that the shoreland zoning map be revised to include Shorey Park in the general development district.

The rezoning, originally requested by the Community Development Committee, would allow the town to hold small public gatherings and storytime events and possibly involve some landscaping improvements and/or a nature path.

Board member Dee Miller, who also serves on the Community Development Committee, said the problem with the way the park is zoned now, resource protection zone, is that “you can’t put two stones together” without first obtaining permission from the Department of Environmental Protection. She said that when the town requested an extension of the general development district in 2003 to make downtown improvements

along Stevens Brook, the DEP expressly excluded Shorey Park because “the town didn’t offer any reason for the change.”

In order for any shoreland-zoned land in Maine to be rezoned, the state requires a detailed explanation, Miller explained.

The town had devised a plan 11 years ago drawn up by local landscaper Lucia Terry, but it involved an educational component in that a boardwalk would be built near the bridge in Shorey Park.

That plan didn’t sit well with the Shorey family, whose representative, Mary Elizabeth Shorey, met Monday with the Community Development Committee to go over her grandfather’s intentions when he bought the land and turned it over to the town 60 years ago.

On Tuesday, Mary Elizabeth Shorey said the intentions of her grandfather, Henry A. “Harry” Shorey II, in the early 1950s was “first and foremost to get rid of the derelict mill” at the site.

“It was a huge eyesore for the town,” Shorey said. “(Henry A. “Harry” Shorey II) saw the park as a serene park, not a classroom park,” and a contemplative place that would be a beautiful and attractive entrance to the town-owned beach at Highland Lake. “A boardwalk would ruin the serene view of the park,” she said.

The general development district currently ends at the scenic bridge crossing Stevens Brook.

Miller said extending the district to include the park would allow the town to put vegetation in the ground, which under its current zoning cannot be done. “Anything in the ground is called a structure,” she said.

The board agreed to have a representative appear before selectmen in the near future to explain the change and request that selectmen approve the rezoning. A final decision rests with the DEP, and local hearings would have to be held NEW COMMISSIONERS’ DISTRICTS — for Cumberland County are depicted on this map before the board could act on showing two new districts — District 1 and District 3.

Yarmouth and Mark D. Grover of Gray.

Cumberland County Charter Commission Chairman Claude Morgan stated, in an explanation of the process used for redistricting, “Commissioners considered a number of criteria to ensure equity and fairness of representation. We followed the legislative practice of creating districts that are equal in population, give or take a five percent difference allowable under state law. And we drew these districts from communities that are geographically

contiguous. So, towns such as Harrison, Bridgton, and Sebago, which share municipal boundaries, form a natural affinity in the same district. Commissioners also considered such intangible connections as historical affiliation and traditions of cooperation.

For example, both Chebeague Island and Long Island educate their children in the town of Cumberland. So, those islands are now formally aligned with that municipality on the mainland. These are just a few of our criteria.”

Morgan said the members of

the Charter Commission believe the new apportionment will “promote a more robust form of representation for the more than one quarter million residents of Cumberland County” and “serves the best interests of the County as a whole — while maintaining and preserving the unique character of each community and region.”

Each Cumberland County commissioner serves a four-year term and the terms will be reasonably staggered. No commissioner may serve more than three consecutive terms.

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer Should Cumberland County spend over $30 million to renovate and update its Civic Center?

Cumberland County Commissioners will decide at their meeting next month whether or not to put that very question out to voters via referendum in November.

Courthouse in Portland.

The Commissioners will make their decision that same evening — Aug. 8 — as to whether to place the question on the referendum ballot in November asking voters to approve borrowing funds for the Civic Center renovation project, not to exceed $35 million.

The Civic Center Building Committee, co-chaired by Commissioner Jim Cloutier and Selectman Joe Bruno, of Raymond, who is a Civic Center trustee, has been meeting for some time to review options for restoration.

Funds previously allocated to pay for the Cumberland County Jail could be available in 2012, as that debt has been paid off this year.

Commissioner Cloutier said, in

a written statement, “It is vital we get input from our citizens on how best to restore the Center to bring it into the competition of the 21st Century. This building has been around for 35 years, serving the County, the state and part of New England with world famous acts.

In order to keep it viable, something must be done, but that is a decision resting in the hands of our taxpayers. We need to hear from them at our public forums and get their views on this important decision.”

County Manager Peter Crichton said at last week’s selectmen’s meeting in Casco that there have been a number of studies on the Civic Center over the years, but that “this is the most serious I’ve seen, to date.”

Crichton said the Civic Center Committee looked at “how to accomplish certain things” like updating the ladies’ restrooms and expanding the concessions stand areas, as well as “what can be done to help the Pirates (ice hockey team) in a competitive league” with better seating.

“It’s a balancing act — a delicate balancing act,” the County Manager said.

It is harder to get top-notch acts to come to the Civic Center, Crichton stated, and as a result, county officials are “finding it difficult to operate the Civic Center.”

“We anticipate operating with a deficit, this year,” Crichton said July 12.

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer CASCO — Hacker’s Hill, with its allure as an established “turnkey” hilltop park, scored very high, possibly the highest, in the latest round of grants awarded by Land for Maine’s Future, giving Loon Echo Land Trust a big boost toward its “once-in-a-lifetime” goal of raising $800,000 to purchase and preserve the property.

LMF awarded a preliminary $220,000 grant last week to LELT in the regional conservation/recreational lands grant category after reviewing 16 projects. LELT had asked for $350,000 to buy the 27 acres of mowed fields, picnic area and signature pine trees, and its board agreed to move forward with fundraising if the LMF grant came through at or close to the requested amount.

The grant is preliminary in that it won’t become final until $110,000 in matching funds are raised. The state also will require an acceptable

Free lunches fill summer break void

(Continued from Page A) – all deemed necessary for keeping young bodies healthy.

Leckie credits Bon Appetit employee Charlie Morton with being instrumental in the café’s role in the program. Five mornings a week, Morton packs the company van with hundreds of bagged lunches and drives to four locations to make deliveries.

“He’s been the link, the life saver,” Leckie said.

More than three weeks into the program, these are the approximate daily numbers of people who ate lunch at each site: Harrison, 80; Sebago, 35; Casco, 70; and Naples, 100, according to Leckie.

In Bridgton, between 25 and 40 children and teens have been showing up at the Highland Lake public beach area for the free lunch program – which is in its second summer, according to Program Manager for Child Nutrition, Lynn McGrath.

“Last year, we started with two days a week to test the waters. This year, it went right to five days a week,” McGrath said.

As an employee of PROP, McGrath said the agency is the vehicle that got the program started, but Carmen Lone deserves kudos. Lone is being mentored to take over the lunch line-up.

“She stepped up to the plate last year; and next year, she will run the program,” McGrath said.

“We prepare meals at the Head Start location, and use the chef there. It gave her summer employment, and she’s thrilled to be preparing these meals,” McGrath said.

In addition, the Highland Lake public beach is “right there,” very accessible off Main Street and offers a scenic setting for kids to swim and play, she said.

Naples resident Noyes said the location, where free lunches are served, comes in handy for community members.

“It’s great for kids taking swimming lessons,” she said, as two young girls wrapped in beach towels ran from the water to the picnic table.

“And, my son could eat all day long,” Noyes laughed.

Almost on cue, her youngest boy fetched another snack item out of the brown lunch bag.

Noyes heard about the program schedule through Naples Parks and Recreation Director Harvey Price Jr., who had been spreading the word to families with schoolaged children.

Those children enrolled in day camps through the parks and recreation department benefit by being where the free lunches are doled out.

Noyes said she also received a flyer about it before school vacation started.

Still, informing families with children about the free-lunch program has been a slight stumbling block, organizers agree.

“Every summer, I hear someone say, ‘I didn’t know the program existed,’ ” McGrath said.

ticipants must eat their lunches at the site and not take leftovers home, Farnham said.

But, the locations are places where it is also fun to play, hang out with old friends, make new friends, and have an impromptu picnic.

According to Farnham, there has been a noticeable increase in the numbers of children coming to the Naples beach for free lunches, or being there already when the lunches are provided.

“The numbers in Naples have grown since it started, and it has continued to grow. People are passing the word around.

It has to be reaching a lot of Naples residents, because those are the ones who use the beach. In Naples, there are a lot of summer residents, too,” Farnham said.

There are no income or proof of residency requirements for anyone under 18 years old to receive a free lunch, Farnham explained.

Side-skirting the requirement paperwork for this federally-funded program makes it more accessible to the children and teens who use it – a few of whom aren’t residents, but spend the summer with a parent or grandparent.

“No one has the stigma of trying to qualify for a free lunch,” Farnham said.

However, the old adage “there is no such thing as a free lunch” proves true.

After all, the program is funded by money on the federal level.

The sponsors are reimbursed $3.20 per meal consumed, according to Bon Appetit’s Leckie.

“That covers the cost of food, transportation, and labor to make meal. We have to do 300 lunches a day to break even,” he said.

Still, he chooses not to use the commodities offered by the USDA – even though it’s free.

“We maintain the Bon Appetit philosophy, and use the product we serve in our café,” he said, adding he sticks with local food suppliers for the program.

There is a need to be filled, especially during these trying economic times, Leckie explained.

“If you look at the stats, you know half the kids might be skipping lunch if you didn’t have this program,” he said, “because some parents just can’t afford it.”

“The Free Summer Lunch Program is a great thing that is being done for the community,” he said.

“And, hopefully we can expand on it next year,” Leckie said.

For more information about free lunch sites in other towns, call 2-1-1.

Volunteers make program stay afloat In Bridgton, the summer-time free lunch program “has tons of community volunteers: senior citizens, food pantry volunteers, and high school students,” McGrath said.

“That is the great thing about this program: People in the community come to help out,” she said, adding a local grocery store offered refrigeration space to store perishable items that don’t fit in the kitchen at the Head Start building.

“I am so impressed how the community comes around to support the program. I know it’ll be successful because of all the volunteers,” McGrath said.

In Naples, Songo Locks Elementary School teacher Stephanie Whiting pledged that she and her two teenage sons would help hand out lunches every other Thursday during the summer.

She said she had responded to a mass e-mail for volunteers that originated from the school’s offices.

The Portland-based woman working side-by-side with Whiting interjected excitedly that she was the person who had sent that e-mail to the school secretary.

Summer Lunch Program Facilitator Abby Farnham is tasked with rounding up the volunteers to assist with the one-hour program five days a week. She has to fill the calendar with enough help through late August.

“First, we try to find the movers and shakers in community. It’s often people involved in the local food pantries,” said Farnham, who is affiliated with Maine Hunger Relief Initiative.

In Sebago, Jim Libby, who is associated with the Warming Hut food pantry, leapt into action to get the people needed to distribute lunches in the small lakeside town, Farnham said.

Community volunteers run the sites; and each town selects a public location where children would normally congregate 8TH ANNUAL during the summer, she said.

SAD 61 cuts teacher post, community use funding

(Continued from Page A) ovation/construction project and the new bus garage/educational building (presently being built).

A third district budget meeting will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Lake Region High School.

The Budget Validation referendum vote will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 9 in the four district towns.

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

Where to cut and how much?

Over a three-hour session, directors considered a wide variety of possible cuts from changing the way SAD 61 transports children (possibly switching from a two-drop system to a one pick-up plan used in SAD 55) to reducing the amount spent on technology to whether some administrator could pick up the duties of the Adult and Community Education director (for a stipend, but at a lower rate than hiring another full-time administrator).

Department Directors Andy Madura and Lisa Caron made compelling comments that there is little left to cut in their respective programs. Madura, who is in charge of transportation, maintenance and food service, feels there is little to gain trying to revamp the current bus system, saying one move could lead to another major problem — mainly creating more vehicle traffic at an already congested Songo Locks School drop-off area.

Caron, who is director of Special Education, said her budget is directly tied to costs dictated by state regulations regarding services that must be provided under each student’s Individual Education Plan.

Rosie Schacht, director of vocational programming, did juggle the Voc Ed and Adult Ed jobs for a period of time, but found that with mandated administrative changes, the roles became just too big for one person to tackle effectively.

Ultimately, the main targets were: Cut: Stevens Brook Grade 1 Teacher, $40,000. Vote: 6-5 to cut the position.

Based on student numbers for

the upcoming year, class sizes would be 19, about the same as those at Songo Locks School.

Sebago Elementary has 15 students per class.

There was little discussion on this recommendation.

Cut: Community Use of Facilities, $35,000. Vote: 7-5.

In years past, the budget carried a separate line asking taxpayers to raise $35,000 to cover the cost of nonprofit groups — such as local rec departments, community theater and before-after school child care programs — to use school facilities.

When the state changed the budgetary process, the separate warrant line was eliminated and the cost was rolled into the general budget.

If the cut sticks, local rec directors say the fee to use gymnasiums for winter basketball programs will be passed along to parents. Casco Rec Director Beth Latsey includes $500 in her budget to assist those who apply for scholarships because they are unable to pay registration fees.

The rec youth basketball programs use school gyms for practices and Saturday games over a 12-week period.

“If we are charged to use the facilities, we will have to increase our registration fees,” Latsey said. “What concerns me is that we don’t want to refuse anyone (who is unable to pay the fees) because we don’t want the program to get smaller, we want it to get bigger.”

Rec directors point to a rising trend of more families seeking scholarships than in past years, partly due to a sluggish economy and higher costs for fuel and food.

Bridgton, school officials pointed out, has a high free/reduced lunch population — over 60% — which could result in higher scholarship requests if registration fees rise.

Madura will develop a cost sheet as to charges for use of indoor facilities. He hinted that the time could soon come that SAD 61 would also charge for use of outdoor fields to cover maintenance for the “wear and

Other groups affected would include a church group, which holds its worship service in the high school cafeteria; Sebago Days, which holds the two-day festival on school grounds; community theater; and the Bridgton School Age Child Care (SACC) program.

Lake Region Community Theatre director Janet Ver Planck of Casco said any charge would be difficult to absorb since the program already operates on a shoestring. Community theatre tries to keep ticket prices “reasonable and affordable,” but if SAD 61 charges for use of the auditorium for practice and show times, LRCT would need to seek out more sponsors to offset higher costs (a difficult task in the current economy) and possibly shy away from musicals, such as the recent presentation of Cinderella, which carry higher fees.

SACC would likely be forced to look for a new home or even be dissolved, if the program is charged a facility user’s fee, officials said.

SACC is a fully-licensed child care that provides a before and after school program as well as an eightweek summer program for students at Stevens Brook Elementary as well as the surrounding communities. “The SACC program would not be able to absorb this kind of increase in overhead and still run an affordable program for our community,” SACC board of directors said. “Sixty-two percent of the students at Stevens Brook Elementary School are classified as economically disadvantaged based on the percentage of students that receive free and reduced

lunch and many of our families are single parents. The SACC program needs community support to save the program, so please attend the referendum hearing.”

Sherrie Small, SAD 61’s finance coordinator, said a line will be included at the district budget meeting regarding Community Use of Facilities. The line will carry a $0 recommendation. Taxpayers can amend the line, and restore the $35,000.

Saved: High School Fine Arts Position, $37,000. Vote: Six directors voted against the cut of a fine arts teacher (dance), five voted to cut. Later in the meeting, a motion was made to reconsider the action. The motion failed, eight voting against, four for reconsideration.

LRHS Principal Ted Finn felt the “dance” piece of the Fine Arts could have been successfully integrated into the new Studio & Academies curriculum, thus cutting the dance instructor’s position. However, Finn noted he went to a conference where the message was to preserve, not cut, the Fine Arts. Carmel Collins, who presently teaches dance at LRHS, talked about the benefits of the program, including how a Dance Showcase, featuring LR students, brings the “creative and adaptive movements” to elementary schools each year. Directors declined to cut the position.

Under the proposed budget, Lake Region H.S. will operate with about $340,000 less money than in 2010-11.

Cuts to date include: • Co-curricular reduced by $5,900; • Extra-curricular reduced by $6,400; • Guidance services reduced by

calls for 3.5 technicians to oversee 1,805 computers. Nationally in the private sector, one technician is in charge of 114 computers. Here, the ratio is 1-to-516.

• The numbers are also high for tech integrators, who work with staff members — K-5, one integrator works with 92 teachers; grades 6 to 8, one works with 46 teachers; grades 9 to 12, one works with 65 teachers.

• Sturk noted that the money “he controls” in the tech budget has actually decreased over the past three years from $448,998 to $415,295 to $331,979. Other money ($297,000) is tied up in “hardware.”

Saved: High School PCB work, $125,000. Vote: 5-5, weighted vote resulted in directors rejecting to reduce the budget by $125,000 from the maintenance account and use project money to pay for PCB removal. Thus, money will be taken from the maintenance budget, this year and next, to offset costs of PCB removal.

Madura cautioned directors that dipping into the $500,000 contingency fund could pose a problem later on. Already, some unforeseen issues have surfaced and will need to be addressed.

Madura said by next year, SAD 61 will have a good handle on where the project is and what money will be left.

Director Janice Barter reiterated that when PCBs were found in caulking used around windows and doorways in the construction/renovation portion of the high school, federal environmental protection officials forced SAD 61 to address other exterior openings (not included in the project) in the building over the next three years.

Funding to address those areas, Barter said, should come from the general budget, not out of construction money, which are already earmarked.

Merritt argued that the project should be scaled back, if need be, to address the PCB issue rather than add the cost onto already over-burdened taxpayers.

How strongly residents feel about the cuts and non-cuts will likely be heard on Aug. 2 and at the polls on Aug. 9.

Saved: Technology, $75,000.

Vote: A motion made by Sebago Director Richard Merritt to reduce the technology budget by $75,000 was rejected due to a lack of a second on his motion.

With an overall budget of over $900,000, Merritt questioned whether the district was getting “what we are paying for” when it comes to putting technology into the hands of students, especially considering the low test scores recorded over the past few years.

“There has been no notable outcome despite all the money we’re spending — the highest spending in the state. We spend 3% of our budget on technology, and we’re not showing any gains,” Merritt said.

Immediately, Director Laura Ordway responded that Merritt’s comment was “ridiculous” and she took “offense” at the notion that the tech department is not doing its job. “Josh (Sturk) is doing an amazing job,” Ordway said. While no test is given to determine the effect of technology on instruction, technology is a necessary tool in today’s world.

SAD 61 has certainly made significant changes and investments in the technology field over the past 10 years. Josh Sturk, director of Technology Services, gave a quick snapshot: • Ten years ago, SAD 61 had 425 computers, buildings were not “connected” and word processing was the “primary instructional tool.” Today, the district has 1,805 computers with students in grades 6 to 12 each given a laptop to use during the school year. All buildings are connected; video-conferencing takes place; and the use of technology is fully embedded in instruction.

• Ten years ago, there were two technicians to service 425 computers. Today, the present budget

Environmentally Sensitive Farming

PICK YOUR OWN

RAYMOND — The Crescent Lake Watershed Association will hold its 2011 annual meeting this Saturday, July 23 at 9 a.m. at Christ Chapel Church (Northern Pines Road) in Raymond.

Throughout the year, CLWA has been busily preparing for an active summer in protecting the water quality.

A two-year funding grant was awarded Crescent Lake Watershed Association by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The funding is administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection in partnership with Environmental Protection Agency. This grant will provide financial assistance in significantly reducing the pollutant load to Crescent Lake through implementation of conservation practices that reduce erosion and export of sediment and UP FOR AUCTION — Hand-painted Adirondack chairs phosphorus into the Lake.

A four-hour Invasive Plant will be raffled off by the Casco Public Library Labor Day Patrol Workshop on Saturday, Weekend. Raffle tickets are now on sale.

Aug. 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will be sponsored by Roberta Hill, project director, Center for Invasive Aquatic Plants, Maine Volunteer Monitoring Program.

CLWA has over 70 paid membership lake residents who are enthusiastically supporting the clean water efforts of Crescent Lake. The CLWA Board of Directors continue to ask for help from lake neighbors as each year CLWA sees more residents completing proactive work on their property to better control storm water runoff and to keep the lake clean and clear.

Summer happenings at Casco Library

By Leigh Macmillen Hayes Special to the News CASCO — “We’re excited to have the summer people back,” says Carolyn Paradise, library director of the Casco Public Library. The library is reaching out to its loyal summer and year-round patrons with a variety of events.

To celebrate the summer lifestyle in the Lakes Region, two Adirondack chairs will be raffled. The donated chairs were crafted by Lake Region Vocational Center students and hand-painted by two local artists.

Sue Pride painted one chair summer green and decorated

the back slats to look like a fence post and daisies. Bees and a ladybug add to the whimsy of this chair.

The second chair, decorated

by Donna Kantor, has a leather look including brass nails. The back slats of the unfinished chair inspired her to paint vintage book spines.

Raffle tickets for these oneof-a-kind art objects are on sale at the library for $5/one ticket and $20/five tickets. The drawing will be held Labor Day weekend.

Other summer events include a 4 p.m. wine and cheese reception on Sunday, July 24, to honor Maine author, Robert

M. Chute, who will read from his mystery, Coming Home.

Mr. Chute is a former Bates College professor and Poet Laureate of Maine. Copies of his book will be on sale.

Brad Cook will present Trail Dreams about the “Three Essential Needs for

Happiness” that all people require in order to live happy, spiritually rewarding lives on July 31 at 7 p.m. The presentation will include a slide show of his inspirational 2,200-mile journey along the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.

(Continued from Page A) and an endowment for keeping the hill open to the public.

“With a paved roadway, visitors can climb the hill by car or foot to enjoy the open, grassy hilltop with public facilities nestled among the shaded pergola and old pines,” stated a release by the State Planning Office, which governs the LMF program.

Loon Echo’s Hacker’s Hill Campaign Steering Committee has already placed signs and brochures at the bottom of the paved road off Quaker Ridge Road that leads to the summit, which has stunning panoramic views of the White Mountains, Sebago Lake, and rolling countryside. The committee, comprised of eight regional residents, met Wednesday at Migis Lodge to discuss fundraising plans for the summer and fall.

A total of $480,000 will need to be raised just to buy the land, and the LELT board has set an aggressive goal of raising most of that money within a year, as the option agreement expires in 2012. So far, the Town of Casco, at its June town meeting, agreed to contribute $75,000, and the land trust has since received $20,000 from a private donor and $3,000 from Norway Savings Bank.

LELT is taking donations online at www.lelt.org and will be asking local businesses in Casco, Raymond, Naples and Windham to host brochures and displays. Longer-term pledges, over two and possibly three years, for major gifts are being accepted as well, said Carrie Walia, LELT’s executive director.

She encourages anyone with questions to call her at 647-4352 or e-mail her at info@lelt.org.

The LMF grant money will come from the $9.25 million bond issue voters approved last November. The grant was part of $5.6 million awarded by LMF this year for six farmland projects and 16 conservation/recreation projects, which also include a portion of Dick Randall’s popular 500-acre apple orchard in Standish and a heritage trail corridor along the Androscoggin River.

Jeff Hall has said his family decided to sell the hill in 2009 because its maintenance was becoming too much of a responsibility. They had some interest from private developers, but no offers. His grandfather, Hacker Hall, opened the spot up to the public after he began haying it in the 1960s, and it has evolved to become a popular destination from May to November for both year-round and summer residents. The road is gated at the bottom to control access, and the Halls and their friends have been providing regular mowing and maintenance.

Jeff Hall said his family is open to the possibility of having LELT eventually also purchase potential house lots they’ve retained at the base of the hill. If the fundraising is successful, LELT will also acquire the leases for two cell phone towers on the top of the hill, which will help provide a revenue stream for continued maintenance.

Members of the Hacker’s Hill Steering Committee include: Dick Anderson of Portland, Connie Cross of Casco, Eric Dibner of Casco, Dave Dyer of Casco, David Hursty of Bridgton, Grant Plummer of Casco, Tim Porta of Windham, Mark VanWinkle of Raymond and Bill Wales of Casco.

Hacker’s Hill is open from 8:30 a.m. until a half-hour after sunset on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Foot traffic is welcome seven days a week.

Porta, the owner of Migis Lodge in Casco, is quoted in LELT’s brochure as saying of Hacker’s Hill, “The ability of the public to enjoy this natural treasure has not just an emotional and recreational benefit locally, but an economic one as well.

The importance of this extraordinarily beautiful spot really cannot be underestimated.”

No answer at office

Hello, is anyone there?

Those trying to reach the Bridgton municipal offices by phone earlier this week were met by no answer. Why? Due to a technical issue between communications companies, the town office complex’s main phone number, 647-8786, was not in service on Monday and Tuesday, according to Town Manager Mitch Berkowitz. The situation would, hopefully, be corrected by Wednesday, July 20.

Typically, the main number, if busy, “jumps” incoming calls to two other town office phone lines — 647-8787 and 647-8788.

However, because the main number was out of service, that transfer function did not work. Berkowitz said those trying to reach the municipal complex by phone should directly dial 647-8787 or 6478788, until the problem is corrected.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — With the onset of a fiscal year, the construction cycle at its summertime peak and salmon set to spawn in mid-September, the Lily Brook Culvert project is swimming to the starting line.

Casco selectmen were all in the same boat: let’s get it done now.

The Casco Board of Selectmen on July 12 unanimously approved a $96,000 bid for C L H & Son, Inc., to install an environmentally friendly culvert and prevent further erosion to Edes Falls Road, known by many in the community as Cooks Mills Road.

“Lily Brook culvert is highest priority. If that road collapses the cost to repair it will be greater,” Selectman Ray Grant said.

“I think we need to take up the Lily Brook culvert, and then talk about the roads,” Board Chairman Barbara York said.

Selectmen were in agreement as to the timeliness and necessity of the culvert project. So, the

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — Matt and Meg Sullivan were married in 2009, but their busy lifestyles stalled an immediate honeymoon.

As the proud owners of a new restaurant in Naples, the couple has embraced a nearly non-stop schedule this summer. Like first-time parents, the Sullivans have been somewhat sleep deprived, as they put in the long hours necessary to pamper and promote their “baby,” The Galley Restaurant and Pub. “Maybe, in five years when the lease is up, Meg and I will go on our honeymoon,” Matt said.

With a winning menu, attention to detail, and more hours on the clock than off, the Sullivans have launched The Galley into stardom — not only on a local level, but also as a competitor among East Coast eating establishments.

The cuisine served at The Galley has wowed the taste

Frame he would later manage as The Galley.

“My first job was at a fivestar restaurant. I started out as a dishwasher; then, I moved up to prep cook, line cook, and did catering for the restaurant, too,” Matt said. “Every single job has been in a restaurant.

No formal training like chef school. I learned cooking from my mother, on the job, and taught myself.”

When the Raymond Galley owner offered him the job to run the restaurant, Matt was fresh out of college with a business degree, and declined, saying he wanted to find “a real job.”

He wound up managing the seasonal locale in Raymond at age 22. Even with his education in business, starting a new restaurant proved to be a learning curve as he developed his own spreadsheets and designed menus and advertising.

It was a one-man show then.

“I was the cook and the cashier.

I flirted with the old ladies” and

board put the job at the top of its construction priority list and was willing to spend $96,000 of the approximately $280,000 now in the Road Construction Fund.

At town meeting, residents appropriated $130,000; and that has been added to the remaining balance from 2010-11 fiscal year, according to Town Manager Dave Morton.

Discussions during the bidawarding process brought many questions to the table; and that spawned a request to have bidders at the table in the future.

Selectman Tracy Kimball suggested that representatives of each company involved in the bid process be invited when the town is reviewing bids.

“It feels like shooting in the dark, without having bidder in here to answer questions,” Kimball said.

Town Manager Morton liked the idea of bringing in the bidders when the board is trying to decide who should get the job.

Earlier, he had said, “Without actually talking to these folks, there is no way to compare them

that closely.”

Morton explained to the audience that the difference between the lowest bidder and the next two bids was great – close to $60,000 more than CLH & Son’s low-bid figure. Auburn-based CLH specializes in trucking transportation, but the company also provides culvert construction.

That company has done culvert work for the town before, and listed costs for using the specific materials with which the town is already familiar, according to Morton.

“I am fine with bid,” Selectman Mary-Vienessa Fernandes said.

“I am concerned with traffic, and check the references, and make sure bonds are okay.”

By Dawn De Busk Staff writer CASCO — On Tuesday, don’t show up at the Community Center and expect the Casco Board of Selectmen to be meeting at 7 p.m.

They won’t be.

It’s been postponed; and, the selectmen do not have another regular meeting until August.

This Tuesday’s meeting has been cancelled because members of the board will be too busy getting ready for Casco Days.

Many of the selectmen volunteer to work at the midway’s

games and food booths, according to Chairman Barbara York, who said she plans to work the Bingo booth for an evening.

“Most of us have a busy week of preparing for Casco days, and working in it so it only made sense” not to meet during the last Tuesday in July, Chairman York said.

Casco Days starts Thursday, July 28, and runs through Saturday, July 30. For a detailed schedule of events, go to cascodays.com/.

“People plan their vacations around Casco Days,” York said, describing the recreational vehicles that pull into town for the weekend.

“A lot of families from in town will be there, too,” she said.

“It’s fantastic. Every day there is something going on, all the time,” York said.

“On Thursday night, the fireworks, which is beautiful. On Friday, they have a children’s parade,” she said.

“That’s really cute when our kids do their parade,” York said.

She plans to volunteer at the Bingo booth. Selectmen MaryVenessa Fernandes and Paul Edes are on the list to help out there, too, she said.

Selectman Ray Grant is scheduled to load people on and operate the Ferris wheel during the three-day event, which as Old Home Days has been taking place for more than 50 years, he said.

“People still come in and ask if the pool tables are downstairs,” he said. Matt stressed that The Galley is more about food than drinking and getting rowdy.

Already, many community members have made The Galley the new spot for family-nightout. Some followed Matt from The Galley in Raymond, while others discovered the pleasant eating environment.

Like the sea and the shore, Matt and Meg have a symbiotic business relationship.

“My strengths are his weaknesses, and his strengths are things I don’t do as well,” the personal fitness trainer said.

shot the breeze with the oldtimers, he said.

Now, he works in a kitchen five times the size, which provides the space for him to experiment with new recipes.

At the Naples Galley, he introduced the mix-and-match lobster rolls — allowing people to select from 16 combinations.

Also, Matt tries to convert red meat fans into seafood lovers.

“A lot of people in area don’t eat seafood. They order a burger. I say. ‘I know you don’t like seafood, but the way I cook it, it tastes good,’” Matt said, explaining he uses less batter or subtle sauces to bring out the true flavor of fish, and prepares clams so they don’t have a rubbery texture.

“I’d like to turn everyone over to seafood,” he continued, citing the health benefits.

While both Matt and Meg are respected in the local food service arena, they have had to battle the not-so-shiny reputation of the building, where a

“He likes our food, and he keeps acknowledging it. What we’re doing is working, and we’re turning out good food,” Matt said.

He plans to use his connection with Richman to hold a food-tasting contest at The Galley in the future.

At 25 years old, Matt has combined his business management degree, two minors in communication and computer technology, and a keen sense of what works in the kitchen. Then, he has applied all those skills toward running and marketing a successful eating establishment.

Young professional believes in town’s economic future (Continued from Page A) 29, had ever been involved in since starting Main EcoHomes six years ago. So he turned to his mentor, Mark Lopez, for advice — and a partnership was born, Vista Investments, LLC. Lopez and McIver bought the Ginn property and the adjacent lot together. On Tuesday, they received unanimous conditional approval from the Bridgton Planning Board for a four-lot commercial subdivision — the first of its kind that the board has ever reviewed.

The conditions are that they must show financial capacity

to build the 60-foot wide, 300foot-long road that will serve as access to the nine acres along 759 feet of road frontage that will be split into four lots.

They also must satisfy Maine Department of Transportation requirements by clearing enough trees and brush and excavating an embankment to provide adequate site distance for oncoming traffic.

“I couldn’t do it alone and Mark’s a super intelligent guy,” McIver said, in an interview several days before the board meeting. “We’re creating affordable commercial lots for sale — that’s the big thing.

“I’ve been working there since I was 10 or 11,” he said, adding his son will be helping with the town’s annual summertime event, too.

Grant said the town swells with people, and people who haven’t seen one another for a while get together.

“Oh yeah, it’s like a family reunion every year,” he said.

Grant echoed York’s statement on how busy people are with preparations for next weekend’s activities.

Lately, residents and volunteers of the Casco Fire and Rescue Department have been meeting together to set up the town’s temporary midway.

“I’ve been over there every night this week,” he said.

“Tonight, people are working on the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel. I was helping with setting up the Ferris wheel,” he said on Tuesday night.

“Last night, we set the light poles up so the whole area is lit,” he said.

He said people were readying the food booths by cleaning the grills, hoods, surfaces, and “getting them stocked and ready to go.”

Biz profile: The Galley

(Continued from Page A) than me. I am very sarcastic — that’s why I stay in the kitchen.

She can handle stressful situations. She is diplomatic with difficult customers.”

Matt does make his rounds in the dining room, remembering what someone ordered three weeks ago and making guests feel welcome and letting locals know The Galley is a year-round restaurant — not just reliant on tourist dollars.

Ever the business major, Matt said, “My main goal is to make a profit. My Number Two goal: I want to be recognized as one the best restaurants, where people can say the place is great, and they have no complaints.”

So, when is that honeymoon planned for? It’s not on the horizon yet. It is rough enough to schedule an afternoon off together, Meg said. In fact, the couple took a Wednesday off recently. When Matt stopped by the restaurant “to see how things were going,” the place was busy. Without hesitation, he jumped on the cooks’ line in the kitchen for a few hours, while guests were left wondering what was taking him so long to rejoin the get-together. Meg called his cell phone; and when he didn’t pick up, she figured he was putting out dinner plates at The Galley.

Not only are they married to one another, but also, both admit they are married to The Galley and hope to make it a mainstay in Naples.

We’re trying to attract business to Bridgton and help existing businesses.”

McIver said he already has talked to several businesses that are interested in locating in the new subdivision. He declined to say what the asking price would be for the lots, which range in size from 1.6 to 3.6 acres. Each lot will be serviced by individual septic systems, and hook into public water and underground electric, phone and cable lines.

“These will be the best value, lowest priced lots around,” McIver said. If Bridgton’s office of Economic and Community Development, and the new Economic Development Corporation, are looking to attract new business development, he said, he and Lopez are helping that effort by investing in this project.

“Instead of me sitting back and waiting for it to all happen, I’m taking action,” said McIver. “I have a vested interest in Bridgton. This is my hometown. This is where I want to be, and I want to be actively involved in the proper growth of Bridgton.”

That McIver — who returned from college to work at his father’s business, D.M. Electric, and subsequently struck out on his own — is actively involved in Bridgton is without question. Over a year ago he helped found Rising Ridge, the Young Professionals group in town.

More recently, he’s been busy building his new 3,200-square foot, two-story Depot Street retail/office building, which will be framed up in the next several weeks on land where a dilapidated garage once stood next door to the side entrance of Reny’s Department Store.

Mody Botros will be occupying the first-floor space with his About Time Graphics business, and the Loon Echo Land Trust will lease the second floor space.

“I’m investing a lot of money on Depot Street,” McIver said.

Think big, vision bigger When Ginn told him he’d sell all 135 acres he owned, McIver walked the property. To his delight, the rear portion of the tract has the potential for nice views of Mt. Washington and Shawnee Peak.

“I saw a lot of potential house sites. I knew I could do commercial lots in front, and use the Ward’s property for access to the back” of the property, he said.

The plans, drawn up by Terradyn Consultants of New Gloucester indicate that the

rear of the property could be used for a future commerce park. Board member Dee Miller asked Tuesday whether the retained land in the rear should be considered as a separate, fifth lot.

Code Enforcement Officer Rob Baker said the retained land was exempt, because it was over 40 acres, and was exempt under Bridgton’s subdivision rule. Baker said there were no restrictions in terms of having to wait five years before creating a future subdivision.

Planning Board Chairman Steve Collins said Tuesday’s review of the Vista Investments’ plans was “unprecedented” in his experience on the board.

Typically, the board reviews residential subdivisions, to which the town’s subdivision ordinance is geared. In this case, the only thing that’s being created is the paved road, which McIver and Lopez are building to town standards and hope to eventually have taken over by the town.

“Any future development of the land is subject to site plan review,” Collins stated at the outset, as Terradyn Consultant Project Manager Jon Whitten prepared to describe the project. “So we’re in that unusual circumstance tonight. Nobody knows (what will be built on the lots or the rear parcel). That will be the subject of future reviews.”

Whitten said the new road will require the filling of 1,000 square feet of wetlands and a culvert crossing. “We expect any wetland fills (arising from future lot development) would have to be separately permitted.” Whitten said the wetlands get larger as the land slopes toward Sandy Creek Road.

In response to a question asking about the developers’ financial capacity to build the road, Whitten said he would get an estimate of the cost and the partners will provide a written statement showing they have the funding source.

The board declined to act on a request from Lopez to have member Dee Miller recuse herself from the project review, based on statements she’s made that were critical of Lopez’s landscaping efforts at the Family Dollar Store. Miller said she was capable of reviewing this newest project objectively, and the board let it go at that.

‘Nothing but good intentions’ McIver is aware Lopez, who won approval in January for a McDonald’s Restaurant on the Portland Road, diagonally across from the Hannaford supermar-

ket, is perceived by some in town as being insensitive to efforts to preserve Bridgton’s smalltown character. McIver said Lopez, who he got to know while serving for six months on the town’s Economic Development Committee, has been unfairly mischaracterized.

“I don’t want to be perceived as this money-hungry guy,” and neither does Lopez, McIver said.

He said he’d like people to realize that just because someone is a developer doesn’t mean they want to run roughshod over a town’s character. McIver pointed out that Lopez moved to Bridgton and has made his home here, and wants to see Bridgton grow in a positive, sustainable way.

“Mark has given me advice that has helped me succeed. He has become a good friend, and I highly respect him. He’s highly motivated, like me. And he has nothing but good intentions for this town,” McIver said.

Being sensitive to small-town character is a two-way street, he said. “There’s a lot of small-town character in this town that needs to be fixed. Look at the Chapter 11 building,” he said, referring to the Off-Price Discount Store on Main Street that the Dinan family has been unable to make succeed because of the building’s poor condition and high maintenance costs.

“I build green homes. I’m sensitive to small town char-

acter,” said McIver, whose clients for residential homes are all from out of state. He is currently working with Rich Duffy of Cape Cod, Mass., a summer resident of Falmouth for whom McIver built a home in Bridgton.

Duffy is developing six super-energy efficient homes at Westwood Heights, near Woods Pond on Westwood Drive Road.

The homes, which will sell in the upper $200,000 range, “will be built to top quality, and have flair,” McIver said.

Portland Road is the second most highly traveled highway in the state, said McIver, with 10,000 cars a day driving through Pondicherry Square.

“I like challenges,” McIver said. “And I hope other business people in town will step up and do their part, too.”

The two men propose creating a single, new entrance about halfway between the 759 feet of road frontage and developing just over nine of the 135 acres into four commercial lots.

The entrance would be within a 60-foot wide right-of-way that would bisect the subdivision and run for 300 feet, connecting directly to the retained acreage.

Plans drawn up by Terradyn Consultants indicate in writing that plans are to use the “remaining land for future commerce park” behind the four commercial lots, ranging in size from 1.6 to 3.6 acres.”

Brew Fest seeks volunteers

HARRISON — The first of three shows at Deertrees’ BackStage Gallery opened Tueday evening, July 5, with a reception, sponsored

by Beth’s Kitchen Cafe, for Fryeburg artist Rose Mahanor.

Having been raised in an idyllic quaint northern town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, surrounded by magnificent Lake Superior, Rose created art that replicated the beauty of the area, which just seemed natural.

Becoming an artist was an obvious career. She received her B.F.A from the Center of Creative Studies and M.F.A. from Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich.

Over the years, Rose has exhibited work in Detroit, Mich., Houghton, Mich., Anchorage, Alaska, Brattelboro, Vt., Keene, N.H., and is now currently showing in several towns in Maine.

Her show, “Above All Love,” will be at Deertrees through July 21.

History of food presentation

The Bridgton Historical Society will present a series of workshops and presentations on the history of food on Thursday, July 28 at Narramissic, the Peabody-Fitch Farm in South Bridgton. The day will start at 11 a.m. with a presentation on beekeeping, followed by lunch.

At 1:30 p.m., food historian Sandy Oliver will conduct a workshop on food preservation, which will include simple cucumber pickles in a traditional mustard and vinegar brine, simple modern pickles, currant jelly, a simple beef corning process, butter-making, possibly cider molasses-making, and shrub, a fruit beverage. She will bring tastes of some other preserves and the results of preserving processes.

At 6 p.m., the society will host a reception for Oliver, followed by a lecture, sponsored by the Maine Humanities Council, at 7 p.m. Sandy will carry through

the theme of the afternoon by discussing food preservation in the 19th century, providing a look at how the Peabody and Fitch families would have preserved the fruits of their labor on the society’s historic property.

There will be separate admission charges for each event, or participants can pay $35 for the entire day, a savings of $7.

Bridgton Historical Society members will receive discounted admissions, or $30 for the day.

Oliver is a pioneering food historian. She began her work in 1971 at Mystic Seaport Museum, where she developed a fireplacecooking program in an 1830s house. After moving to Maine in 1988, she wrote Saltwater Foodways: New Englanders and Their Foods at Sea and Ashore in the 19th Century published in 1995.

Besides food history work, Sandy is a freelance food writer with the column Tastebuds

appearing each weekend in the Bangor Daily News, and regular columns in Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors magazine and The Working Waterfront. She is also the author of The Food of Colonial and Federal America published in fall of 2005, and Giving Thanks: Thanksgiving History and Recipes from Pilgrims to Pumpkin Pie, which she co-authored with Kathleen Curtin. Most recently, the recipes from Saltwater Foodways have been compiled in a paperback book entitled The Saltwater Foodways Companion Cookbook. She often speaks to historical organizations and food professional groups around the country, organizes historical dinners, and conducts classes and workshops in food history and in sustainable gardening and

Mahler’s “voice,” as we know it from the later symphonies, is easily detected. Performers are seasoned Festival artists: pianist Stephen Manes and string players, Varty Manouelian, Laurie Kennedy and Eliot Bailen.

The rest of the program is devoted to two chamber arrangements of orchestral works, which were created in Mahler’s native Vienna shortly after his death.

The first is Claude Debussy’s haunting Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, arranged by Benno Sachs. The second is Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, arranged by Erwin Stein. Both arrangements, commissioned and performed by “The Society for Private Musical Performances,” use the same 12 instruments. Susan Rotholz, acclaimed New York City flutist and Festival favorite, will be performing the famous flute solo in the Debussy. Other wind players are Theodore Baskin, principal oboe of the Montreal Symphony and Carmelo Galante, Principal Clarinet of the Omaha Symphony.

The evening’s major offering is, amazingly, a full-length performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in G Major. This gorgeous work will be brought to life by the twelve musicians who performed the Debussy, joined by world-renowned soprano Lisa Saffer. Now a resident of Maine, Ms. Saffer has appeared with major opera companies and orchestras throughout the world, has sung with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and is

Celebrating 75 Years 1936 – 2011

HARRISON — Music lovers are once again invited to enjoy a fascinating program of chamber music at the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival, now in its 39th year of presenting concerts by world-renowned musicians.

The third concert in this acclaimed series, entitled Mahler Remembered, commemorates the 100th anniversary of Gustav Mahler’s death and will take place at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 26 at Deertrees Theatre in Harrison.

In the 100 years since his death, Mahler has taken his place among the world’s greatest composers. Celebrated for his 10 massive symphonies and for his poignant orchestral works with vocal soloists, Mahler’s music is not often heard on chamber music programs. This glorious program offers a rare opportunity to experience Mahler’s music in an intimate setting.

The concert includes one of his few chamber works, and the beloved Fourth Symphony in an outstanding arrangement for 12 instruments and soprano.

Mahler’s Piano Quartet Movement in A Minor is a warm and melodious romantic work, written by a 16-year student at the Vienna Conservatory, who had not yet abandoned the pursuit of a solo career in favor of composition. Although it is reminiscent of Schumann and Mendelssohn,

Country living Help Dave Mason help young campers

At age 94, David Mason will play nine holes at Camp Agawam’s 15th annual Golf Marathon on Thursday, Aug. 18.

This event raises funds to help pay for Maine boys to attend the camp for a week for free. Situated on Crescent Lake in Raymond, Camp Agawam has provided an experience for boys to develop strength in character since 1919.

In 1984, the Agawam Council purchased the camp from owners and directors Dave and Peg Mason. Dave and Peg’s family, having grown up and been part of the camp, are still supportive and dedicated alumni. How can you help Dave make his effort at age 94 worthwhile? The public can sponsor a hole at $2 a hole, or if you really feel generous, bid higher.

Come on people, help Dave out, he’s one of the most wonderful, caring persons in the town of Lovell and Fryeburg. There is nothing Dave and Peg won’t do to support the boys so they can have this type of outdoor experience.

Dave might be hitting, but Peg will be right there with him, and has the harder job of driving the cart and keeping up with Dave. If you’d like to sponsor Dave, send a check made out to Agawam Council, with Dave Mason on the memo line, to Dave Mason, 194 Main Street, Fryeburg, ME 04037.

The Greater Lovell Land Trust will meet at the Gallie Trail to climb Amos Mountain on Thursday, July 21. Beginning at 9 a.m., this is a four-hour active walk. The work on this new trust property has been ongoing, giving those taking part a chance to view aged stone walls and cellar holes belonging to the early settlers of the area. Because of the length of the walk, it’s suggested you bring a lunch, water and, of course, bug spray.

The last July walk will take place on Thursday, July 28 at Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog Preserve, starting at 10 a.m.

This two-hour family walk will

introduce all those taking part to the world of the insects that nature uses as mosquitoes eaters.

Exploring the muck and mire of the bog leads to wonders never imagined before.

The Greater Lovell Land Trust talk on Wednesday, July 27 at the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library will have Nancy Hart and Lynda Thayer share their experiences with the very large ugly animal called moose. The largest land mammal in Maine led both ladies to many wonderful encounters with the “moose.”

Come enjoy the program at 7:30 p.m.

The library will hold their annual meeting on Tuesday, July 26, beginning at 7 p.m. There will be a brief business meeting on the state of the library, and the election of the 12 members of the board. There are two new candidates, Jim Miller and Jane Williams, and three who replaced members who retired early — Jim Carty, Tom Hughes and Roland Klauck.

After the business is concluded, Marcia Talley will be the guest speaker. Talley is the award-winning mystery writer of the Hannah Ives mystery series.

This interesting writer will give the audience an insight into the craft of writing, what influences her choice of subject and the true story of how her 10 novels evolved.

Having been in the position of being published, she’ll delve into the industry that made her famous. Marcia will talk about projects that are being formulated for the future. No author acts as a guest speaker without books, and this author will bring her newest, A Quiet Death, which is available for purchase and of course the author’s signature. As in the past, the library will provide a sign language interpreter, Margaret Haberman, for the hearing impaired, provided by donations from generous community members.

On Sunday, July 24, Stevie Cee and the Mrs. will be playing 50s, 60s and country on the Village Green. The music starts at 6 p.m., so bring supper and your chairs and enjoy the music. You know you can get up and dance if you care to or sing along. It’s all about having

a good time.

The Red Hat Ladies of the Lake Luncheon Group will be meeting at Trailside Restaurant on Friday, July 29 at noon. We will be ordering off the menu.

Quite a few have signed up — if you haven’t yet, give Jan a call. Also, if you sign up and can’t go, please call Jan as well.

Even though we’re ordering off the menu, the restaurant needs to know how many to set up for.

Call her by July 25 or 26 if you can.

SOUTH PARIS — Backyard gardeners can help honeybees survive if they would wait to spray their flower and vegetable gardens at sunset, advises John Seilonen, president of the Oxford Hills Bee Club.

Honeybees go to “bed” at sunset, he said, and the chemicals would do their work overnight and be dry the next day when the bees are active again.

The next meeting of Oxford Hill’s Bee Club will be on Saturday, July 23, at 1 p.m. at the University Agriculture Center on Route 26 in South Paris. The speaker, Paul Szott, will open a beehive and talk

WATERFRONT DINING – INSIDE & OUT

Volunteers will receive extensive training and support to prepare them for effectively responding to callers. The training provides insight and information in the areas of sexual harassment, stalking, child sexual abuse, sexual assault and the challenges faced by survivors and their supporters. Volunteers are taught the various options and resources available for survivors of all ages, and learn crisis intervention and advocacy skills through training and role-play scenarios with special emphasis placed on the importance of self-care.

Volunteer advocates carry a pager during their on call shifts, allowing them to be on call from their homes and choose from a variety of scheduling options. A call can require supporting someone through a difficult memory of childhood sexual abuse, providing support and education about available resources, or accompanying a caller to a local hospital, police station or courthouse for those survivors choosing to use these resources.

A new training session is scheduled to begin in mid August or the beginning of September. To learn more, contact Janet at REACH, 743-9777, ext. 2 if you reside in Oxford County, Bridgton or Harrison.

Bath author Janis Bolster will be reading from her second mystery, The Lost Daughters, at the Bridgton Public Library, on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 12:30 p.m.

The Lost Daughters follows Sally Jean Chalmers as she moves to Portland, Maine and lands a freelance project editing a diary written by the great-grandmother of a local professor. As Sally works her way through the diary, she realizes that it contains family secrets best left secret, and when her employer is murdered and Sally’s fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, her interest in the Cottrell family mysteries becomes something more than academic.

The Lost Daughters will be published later in August by Reck House Press, which brought out the first novel in the series, Murder in Two Tenses, last year.

Wait until dark to spray beekeepers should never buy used equipment without having it properly inspected to make sure it is free of disease.

Also, bees should be medicated in the spring; a treatment of Terra-Pro should be used in the spring and fall to fight foulbrood disease and mites.

Seilonen said he himself lost three hives of bees because of foulbrood. He didn’t know then about the use of chemicals to control the disease. He had to burn all of his bee equipment and start off new.

For more information on honeybees or the club’s meetings and activities, contact Seilonen at 743-5009.

(Continued from Page B) The 5th annual Tour de Lovell will be held on Saturday, Aug. 14, starting at 9 a.m. The earlier start is to avoid the heavy traffic at the post office. The committee is looking for volunteers to help in various positions. Anyone wanting to give a little time can contact committee member Linda Dunlea at 925-2701.

It’s been almost a year since the new addition to the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library was opened. When the library needed decorations for the walls, Nancy and Elliot Lilien came to the rescue with original paintings done

by Nancy’s brother, artist Gifford D. Pierce. Many people visiting the library have commented on the beauty of these geometric studies without knowing the remaining inventory was available for sale to the public. Gifford D. Pierce was highly educated, but it was while he was at Yale that he studied under Joseph Albers, who was a great influence, being a Master of Bauhaus. Nancy and Elliot have strong feeling about sharing the brilliance of Gifford with others. Anyone interested in the paintings can contact Elliot at 925-2828.

The Stoneham Rescue Newsletter for 2011 has gone out to the community. The rescue has served the community for 33 years and will continue with the roster of 25 members.

If you didn’t receive the newsletter with the annual appeal for funds, contributions can be sent to Stoneham Rescue, P.O. Box 42, Stoneham ME 04321. Each donation helps provide the necessary equipment and supplies for the unit. As one who needed the rescue services this is a donation that might save your life.

Broken Wing is the first children’s book written by Robin Taylor Chiarello. Aunt Betty a summer resident finds a gull with a broken wing that can no longer

fly. This worries her because it’s time to button up the cottage for winter and go south to live with her niece. Not wanting to leave her friend, she finds the right solution. She spends the winter with her niece and the sea gull lives at a bird sanctuary, being fed and taken care of. A friend always helps a friend is the message in this simple little story.

Again the lovely soft art illustrations are by Lisa Bohart. This is a great book for a younger age group.

I would like to send condolences to the family of Archie C. Richards, who passed away on June 24, 2011. Archie was a golfer and loved to play. What I’ll remember the most about him was his easy-going way and big grin. He and Alma were one of the lucky couples who managed to spend 57 years together. A celebration of his life will take place on July 30 at 11 a.m. at the Morris residence at 11 South High Street, Bridgton.

Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting. Bring your veils.

At the previous meeting, Rick Cooper talked about maintaining and caring for bees at a meeting on open hive inspection. The club had a very interesting afternoon. One exciting moment was when the queen bee fell off the frame onto the ground, and no one could find her right away.

Local beekeepers are working hard to survive the loss of their hives from the winter months and disease. Lack of care can be a big factor;

FIBER TENT A HIT — The new Fiber Tent at the Waterford SOAK IT UP — Dan Wellehan, Outward Bound instructor, World’s Fair was a big success, as many fairgoers stopped gets a soaking at the Waterford Fair’s “Soak the Dope” tank by to watch spinners ply their art. Here, fiber artist Debbie from the boys he’s just taken on a 21-day outing sailing off the Howe, right, shows Chelsey Emerson how it’s done. coast of Rockland. The boys helped fair officials put up the Games Tent as a volunteer project wrapping up their outing.

Waterford World’s Fair was ‘new’

With a new stage, new oxen barn, new Penelope’s Ice Cream shack, and new Fiber Tent, last weekend’s agricultural celebration in Waterford lived up to its billing as the “New” Waterford World’s Fair.

Sunny, hot weather didn’t appear to deter attendance, as a steady stream of fairgoers showed up all three days, with many attracted by the many musical acts that took the stage. The new stage was purchased from the RoseBeck Farm in South Paris, which used to run the Record Family Bluegrass Festival.

Fair board member Terry Swett, a musician himself, managed to book an impressive slate of entertainers and the sound of outdoor music gave an extra festive atmosphere as the crowd found many fun and interesting attractions — from the Expo Building at the base of the hill to the Steer/Oxen and Horse-pulling ring at the back of the fairgrounds, where a new camping area had been cleared new Old MacDonald’s Barn.

Faylene McKeen, who’s in charge of publicity for the Waterford’s World Fair, sat back in a lawn chair Sunday on the deck beside Expo 2, while listening to Denny Breau’s music. She declared this year’s fair a resounding success, even if attendance might have been hurt a bit by the hot weather all weekend.

“We’re getting better every year,” she said, noting that the fair had been named “Most

Improved Agricultural Fair” by the state’s fair association.

“And next year will be even better.”

There were many new vendors, including potter and musician Rusty Wiltjer of Waterford, who jammed on his drums during breaks between music acts. Listening up at the new fiber tent was Colleen Winslow, co-owner with her husband Jeff of Northern Heights Farm of Waterford.

She organized around a halfdozen fiber artists to attend this year, and many fairgoers stopped by to watch the spinning, ask questions and buy their wares.

Fiber artist Debbie Howe worked beside Winslow, while nearby, her husband John, a solar power advocate, was engaged in a serious conversation with an owner of a wood boiler company who also exhibited at the fair.

Howe brought his portable solar-powered winnowerthresher machine to demonstrate, while nearby, another new vendor worked on her handmade cloth hammocks.

McKeen said the Waterford Fair Association had enormous support this year from a diverse group of volunteers, who worked for many months to make the fair as successful as possible.

MASSAGE AIN’T HER ONLY SKILL — Massage therapist Jennifer McMahon, left, owner of Synergy Massage in Norway, poses with Waterford World’s Fair publicist Faylene McKeen after winning the Fry Pan Toss contest with a throw of 55 feet.

They will have a book- signing at the reception prior to sharing their work in this keynote address.

This exciting lecture illuminates the importance the local scenery played in murals painted

Diane Scott’s work at Harvest Gold Gallery CENTER LOVELL — Plein air-oil painter Diane Scott captures the light of the moment in an everyday scene and makes the canvas come alive.

She paints landscapes, urban scenes and seascapes.

She is not a photo realist.

Most would describe her work as impressionistic. At their best, her paintings reflect her excitement in the field through expressive brushwork and heightened color. It’s wonderful to see how the corner of Routes 16 and 302 in North Conway becomes magical through Diane’s painting.

“I try to get a good solid base in the field then I let myself paint a painting. I have some fun with it. I like to think of it as having a conversation with the painting, letting it take on a life of it’s own,” PLEIN AIR PAINTER — Diane Scott of Chatham, N.H. has some of her works featured at Scott said.

and Design in St. Albans, Herts, England is where Diane received her BFA. She moved from Canada to New England to become a full-time painter in 1996. She lived with her husband for many years in Boston. Eventually, they bought a cottage in Chatham.

Now, they feel fortunate to call the cottage their full-time home.

Scott’s subject matter changes depending on what strikes her as beautiful that day.

Sometimes, it will be a grand overlook of Cathedral Ledge or a farmyard with lots of machinery. From cluttered back alleys and scenes of daily life, she can bring things together to create a pleasing pattern on the canvas and capture the essence of western Maine and Carroll County.

Currently on show at Harvest Gold Gallery, there are several local scenes. One

of the gallery’s favorites is from right here in Lovell, “Still Working” is a portrait of Chandler’s Garage on Route 5. She loves to paint tractors.

“Little Boy, Big Dreams” has a small child gazing at a huge tractor at the Fryeburg Fair.

Eastman settles score with Even

LOVELL — “Oh, what a race!”

Lovell Old Home Days 5K Race Director Stan Tupaj couldn’t have scripted a better Saturday.

Three-time defending champ Tim Even of Stoneham and state high school champion Silas Eastman of Chatham, N.H. produced a fantastic finish at the Lovell Athletic Fields. After running shoulder to shoulder through Lovell Village, Eastman turned the tables on Even.

A year ago, Even’s late burst produced his third Lovell title, finishing just 2 seconds ahead of Eastman.

This time, it was Eastman who had a little stronger kick, winning the race in commanding fashion at 16 minutes 29 seconds (a bit slower than a year ago at 16:21). Even was NATHALIE ORANS of Center Lovell waves to supporters as second in 16:47. The course she heads through Lovell Village. record still belongs to David

Hunt, set in 2006 at 16:10.

The number of runners in this year’s Lovell Old Home Days 5K was up 50% over last summer, Tupaj reported. In all, 150 athletes — ranging in age from 4 to 80 — started on Kimball Road and 150 crossed the finish line for a new race record.

Terry Ballou, 43, of New York City, after a one-year absence, was the top female finisher for the third time. Terry ran the course in 21:28, finishing 14th overall. She managed to edge out her sister, Cathleen Livingston, 45, of Intervale, N.H., who was last year’s first place female finisher. Livingston checked in 17th overall in 21:44.

Both Eastman and Ballou received awards designed by Conway glassblower, Nathan Macomber.

SEBAGO — Defending Sebago Days Fun Run champ Dillon Knudsen ran a faster time than a year ago on the down-and-back course Saturday, but he found himself a distant third.

Ryan Dyer of Gorham cruised to the finish line in 10 minutes, 8 seconds just ahead of Michael Nickerson, who was second in 10:17. Knudsen, a senior cross-country runner at Lake Region High School and a resident of Sebago, was third in 11:16 (he won the race a year ago in 11:55).

Christine Koch of Seaford, N.Y., was the top female runner, finishing in 12:14 for sixth overall. Anna Noble was second for the ladies in 12:50 followed by 2010 top female Corrie Kavanaugh in 12:57 (she trimmed a full minute off her 2010 winning time).

For 21 years, Ryan’s grandfather, John Hill Sr. (a summer resident of Ingalls’ Grove in Bridgton) counted loons on Highland Lake. John was tragically killed in a car accident in early February in Florida.

Moose adventures & Wilson Wing Pond family hike

LOVELL — Join the Greater Lovell Land Trust for an evening presentation on moose and a family walk at the Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog Preserve.

Moose Adventures in Maine and New Hampshire will be presented on Wednesday, July 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Charlotte Hobbs

Memorial Library in Lovell.

In this program, moose enthusiasts Nancy Hart and Lynda Thayer will share stories, photos and videos of their close encounters with the largest land mammal in Maine and describe their adventures moose watching at the Five Kezar Ponds in Waterford,

and on Success Loop in New Hampshire.

On Thursday, July 28 at 10 a.m., families will use nets and hand lenses to investigate dragonfly nymphs and other creatures in the muck and mud of the Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog. This is a family-oriented walk for

children accompanied by parents.

Participants should bring water, a snack and bug repellent and wear comfortable walking shoes for this two-hour program. Due to the increased prevalence of deer ticks in the region, lightweight long pants are also recommended. This

walk meets at the Moose Pond Bog parking area off Horseshoe Pond Road in Lovell.

The weekly natural history series presentations take place every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library. The land trust also offers

guided walks every Thursday and occasionally on Wednesdays.

JUGTOWN PLAINS hikers walked the conserved parcel of land last Friday.

Hike through Jugtown Plains

The Otisfield Conservation Committee sponsored a site walk into the sensitive area of the Jugtown Plains on Friday, July 8.

This conserved parcel of land of 3,000 acres is located in portions of Naples, Otisfield and Casco. Owned by the Hancock Lumber Company, the conservation easement is held by the Maine Department of Conservation.

This area was one of the early locations of settlement in the region. Today, the houses are gone, even the cellar holes are hard to find, but a small population of pitch pine still exists in the sensitive area. Pitch pine thrives in regions of poor fertility, it loves sand plains and can even exist on rock outcrops.

The Jugtown Plains is the most

northerly location for a pitch pine population growing on a sand plain in the Northeast. This conifer species is more common to the south of us. Besides the pitch pine, Norway pine (named after Norway, Maine!) and many sandloving herbaceous shrubs and plants continue to grow there.

The site walk was led by Nancy Sferra, of the Maine Nature Conservancy and David Rodrigues of the Maine Department of Conservation.

The purpose was to raise citizen awareness of the importance of conserving green space in rapidly developing southwestern Maine, the need to maintain woodland in proximity to the Crooked River in order to preserve good water quality and the desire to perpetuate and care

Kayak at sunset

STANDISH — Saint Joseph’s College will sponsor sunset kayaking tours on Sebago Lake on Thursday, July 21, Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Experience a summer sunset as you explore parts of Maine’s second-largest lake. The kayak tour will launch from Saint Joseph’s College’s waterfront and will include a stop on Frye Island to enjoy a snack on the beach. No prior kayak experience is necessary. Participants must be 16 years old. The fee is $49. To register, call 893-6615 or e-mail rdaigle@sjcme.edu

Campers clean up the Saco HARRISON — Many children travel to Maine for the summer because of the state’s beauty.

Other campers spend some of their time to maintain this beauty.

For the second year, boys from Camp Owatonna in Harrison worked three days to clean up the shores of the Saco River.

The Second Annual Saco River Clean Up trip was a huge success, reported Camp Owatonna Trip Director James Bollinger. Campers headed out on a three-day trip to paddle approximately 35 miles on the Saco River. Along the way, they dove underwater and combed the shores to retrieve soda cans, numerous articles of clothing, tent parts and umbrellas.

The first day, they launched at the Canal Bridge just off Route 5.

Like last year, the boys agreed to do a sweep of not only the major

litter, but of all the micro litter at the launch site. The difference between this year and 2010 was that this year’s speedy boys cleaned the site up faster than last year’s group.

“This group of boys found out that picking up trash could be fun and even more so when they tried to do it in ‘record’ time!” Bollinger said.

Bollinger was “texted” the first day that the boys were getting close to Walker’s Bridge on Route 302 and they needed more trash bags because they had filled 13 massive bags.

“When I arrived to pick up the trash, I could not believe my eyes — almost twice as much as last year’s group (were they better collectors, or was the river turning into more of a trash dump?)” Bollinger said.

The clean-up crew collected

seven floating inner-tubes, a brand new solar shower, a full-length lady’s pink dress, lots of bottles and cans, coolers, a tiki lamp, beach chairs, lots of very cool sunglasses, tent poles, a full tent and life jackets.

“For young boys, the chore of picking up someone else’s trash is quickly forgotten by the prospects of finding ‘really cool stuff’ that they can take home with them (sorry Mom and Dad),” Bollinger said.

The final two days did not reap as much trash as the first day, but the boys still scoured the shores and river bottom for unnatural items that did not belong there.

They also found time to try out random rope swings that sent them out into the cool river, playing on the sand beaches, and swimming at a moment’s notice from their quickentry position inside their canoes.

“For the boys of Camp Owatonna, who come from all over the country (this group had boys from Florida, California, North Carolina, Missouri and Connecticut), cleaning up the Saco River has turned into one of the most popular wilderness trips to choose from at camp,” Bollinger added. “The boys gained many rewards from this experience, probably the most rewarding was the satisfaction of a job well done.”

The boys were surprised by one special gift of recognition. The Village Tie Up (the local variety store) in Harrison got wind of the boys’ efforts and presented them with a pizza and soda party on the way home from their trip. Tie Up owners, Brian and Tracy Williams, even sent the boys off with an ice cream Dove bar to finish off a perfect day.

“Brian and Tracy insisted on rewarding the boys for their community service,” Bollinger said, “and are so proud of these shortterm residents of Harrison.”

Protecting American jobs

With the nation’s unemployment rate stuck at 9.2 percent and the economy adding just 18,000 jobs in June, Congress must focus intently on preventing further job loss and incentivizing employers to create good jobs that help put the 14.1 million unemployed Americans back to work.

As Congress debates comprehensive tax reform, regulatory reform and other job creation initiatives, we can support American workers and preserve jobs here at home right now by diligently enforcing our existing trade policies with other countries. In this difficult economic climate, it is critical that our government act swiftly to address trade violations that undercut the competitiveness and prosperity of our domestic industries.

In Maine, we can attest to the human toll inequitable trade practices take on families, small towns, and key manufacturing sectors in our state. For the thousands of forestry workers and lumber manufacturers in Maine, subsidized and artificially underpriced Canadian softwood lumber has cost jobs, resulted in curtailments and layoffs at our sawmills, and threatened the livelihoods of the families and communities that depend on a fair and open market to remain competitive.

After decades of trade violations resulting from artificially underpriced Canadian imports, the United States reached an agreement in 2006 to hold Canada accountable when its provinces violate our trade rules. The 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement imposed a moratorium on Canadian lumber subsidies and provided for a formal arbitration process to address trade violations and unfair forestry subsidies going forward.

Regrettably, in spite of this agreement, some of the problems faced by the American lumber industry endure. For example, in recent years British Columbia has repeatedly violated the agreement by manipulating its stumpage fee on government-owned timber.

As a result, this province has at times sold timber for use in home construction for 25 cents per cubic meter, whereas equivalent quality logs can cost an estimated $20 per cubic meter in the open U.S. market.

That means a truckload of logs in Maine might cost a mill roughly $2,700, while a comparable load might be as cheap

as $15 in British Columbia.

At a time when the economy and unemployment in our state continues to suffer, these artificially underpriced foreign imports have undercut Maine producers and put tremendous strain on American businesses.

While our government has initiated three arbitration proceedings under the Softwood Lumber Agreement in an attempt to address the most egregious violations, our trade officials absolutely must do more to ensure that enforcement occurs promptly once allegations of trade violations are reported and the government conducts its legal review.

Unfortunately, delays in the enforcement of the agreement have at times allowed Canada to continue to take advantage of our government’s inaction, providing government-owned timber to Canadian companies at subsidized rates — and thus putting workers and businesses in Maine at a severe disadvantage. In the case of British Columbia’s stumpage fee practices, these violations were allowed to go unchallenged for over three years! This is simply unacceptable.

Our international trade agreements are only as good as our commitment to enforce them. For this reason, I recently invited the president’s top trade advisor, Ambassador Ron Kirk, to sit down with me and lumber industry representatives — including Luke Brochu of Pleasant River Lumber Company in Dover-Foxcroft — to impress upon him the adverse impact delays in enforcement have on American jobs and competitiveness.

As the first member of Congress to call out the administration for lackluster enforcement regarding British Columbia’s violations in a call with Ambassador Kirk over one year ago, I continue to insist that our government identify practices that harm American workers and to resolve these disputes in a timely and effective manner. We must send a clear and unambiguous message that violations of our privileged trade agreements will not be tolerated. Objecting forcefully to Canada’s repeated violations of the Softwood Lumber Agreement is the only way to ensure a level playing field for Maine’s saw mills, workers, and the important rural communities these jobs support.

Letters to the editor Administrative duties

To The Editor: To the citizens of Fryeburg: I have some questions for you.

Is it appropriate for an administrator of a town to not know the duties and responsibilities of her employees? Is it good management to make decisions about a position without knowing what the responsibilities of the position are? Is it appropriate for the town manager to place the responsibility of establishing a job description solely on the back of the employee?

What constitutes administrative duties? Are those expectations consistent for every department head? If a department head is given an increase in salary because of increases in admin-

istrative responsibilities, should the town manager or others be doing those duties?

We have a town manager who has decided that 32 hours of administrative duties is the maximum justified for the position of fire chief, but adds checking fire extinguishers in the town buildings and checks of the flags as his responsibility. We have a town manager who, caught on tape during a selectmen’s meeting, talked about going around the town with the head of the highway department to inspect buildings that had been involved in fires in recent months. These buildings have nothing to do with the duties of the highway department, but have everything to do with the fire chief. Why is she wasting one department LETTERS, Page D

A tale of two turtles

From a strictly herpetological standpoint, our family has always been a bit odd: snakes, lizards, turtles, anything from the order crocodilian, well, we just love them. “All things Reptilian!” is our rallying cry (at least for three out of four of us — the lady of the house, the sensible one, the children’s mother and my wife, is merely tolerant of the scaly, the wriggly, or the carapaced).

It began with my childhood, and my mother’s admonition that the snakes we found in our garden were, “beautiful and fascinating, with skinlike living velvet, not at all slimy. Here Peter, now hold him gently…” And, despite the popular phobia, Mom was right; hence began a fury of collecting that continued right into my own children’s young years. At one point, my son (when he was about 10) had 28 assorted snakes living in aquariums stacked all over his bedroom, and I clearly remember the day when I heard my daughter kicking at the back door and yelling, “Quick, let me in!” — kicking, because she had a writhing snake in each hand and couldn’t open the door herself.

When my son reached adolescence, the fascination became turtles, especially snapping turtles, and the bigger the

better.

Oh, those summer nights father and son (and often daughter) spent out in the boat, cruising the weedy shallows of the local lakes on the lookout for snappers, armed with root beer, bags of chips, three-millioncandlepower spotlights, huge nets, and wooden crates reinforced with rebar. Family bonding at its finest, and completely legal (if slightly redneck).

One fine summer day, I was returning from work when I spied a mid-sized snapper crossing the road. Knowing that it would just make my son’s day, I pulled over, grabbed the hissing reptile by its stout tail, and heaved him onto the floor of my car in front of the passenger seat — the whole operation took barely 30 seconds and I was downright proud of my courage and deft.

Shifting thorough the gears, I had just gained fourth and was reaching for the radio dial when I heard a distinctive heavy clunk. My first thought was the transmission, until I felt something damp and coarse rasp against my sandal-shod right foot. And there my carapaced friend was, underneath the pedals and thrashing about, clicking his beak wickedly and hoping for blood. Well, if you’ve ever tried to drive a car with one foot out the window and the other in the glove box, you can just imagine my ensuing difficulty. I couldn’t reach the clutch or the brake; I could only steer, work the emergency brake, and scream as I coasted toward the breakdown lane, the engine straining and complaining and sputtering until it finally died. At which point, I stuck both feet through the driver’s window and yanked myself out like a racecar driver.

Mister snapper was summarily dumped in the trunk, where he hissed again and gave me a

savage stare. When I got home and popped the trunk, my son was impressed. “Hmm, nice one Dad,” he exclaimed. “And sorry about your golf clubs.”

On another day, my son skidded his truck (towing his boat) to a stop in front of the house and ran in yelling, “Dad! Dad! You won’t believe how big this one is!” Out into the dooryard we all poured (sans Mom), only to find nothing in the boat but a splintered paddle. “He was in there, Dad,” the exasperated boy exclaimed; thence into the truck we three jumped, squealing tires and spinning gravel off onto the lawn as we raced back toward the lake, shortly finding two young girls, screaming and running and pointing frantically behind them toward something huge and black in the breakdown lane — 43 pounds of scraped-up hissing malevolence.

We’re all grown-ups now, leading mature (if slightly boring) lives as respectable members of society. There is nary a scaly creature in the house.

As a father looking back on his role as a nurturer of children, I think of our reptilian years as the good old days, precious times spent instilling values, building trust, demonstrating the rewards of hard work and diligence, and leaping around in a boat late at night trying to avoid getting our toes snapped off. My wife says we were all just nuts.

A trip through Maine’s islands

There’s something about an island, any island. Maine has lots of them and that’s part of its mystique. I’d been hearing how picturesque Monhegan was and my wife had been suggesting for years we make a visit. There’s a ferry to the island from New Harbor, Maine and we spent a sunny day out there a couple of weeks ago.

On the journey over, the ferry captain told us — twice — to use the bathrooms on the boat before arriving so as not to have to use island facilities. “And, bring your trash back when we pick you up because you won’t find trash cans there.” As a former selectman in a small Maine town, that put me in mind of disposal issues every municipality has to deal with, which would be more challenging on an island of little more than a square mile.

There are only 75 people there year-round, but over 1,200 in summer. Thousands of day-trippers like me would add to the burden.

It was a perfect July day for our short trip, sunny and not too hot. I could see why painters have been attracted to Monhegan for more than a century, including Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth. Wyeth commented recently that, “Maine is very emblematic. But what interests me is to go deeper, to go beyond cuteness and prettiness to get to the angst of which there is a lot in Maine.”

Maine is emblematic of cute-

ness, prettiness and angst? Is that part of its mystique as well?

I had enough time to check out one gallery and though I don’t know much about painting, works by contemporary Monhegan artist Kevin Beers impressed me most. He’s a realist and I like what he does with color and light. Wish I could have afforded to buy one of his paintings, but it cost $2,000.

I’d been looking at Monhegan off to the east for a few days while staying in New Harbor, beautiful against the distant horizon. It’s even prettier getting closer to it from the water, even though I noticed four-inch, cast-iron sewage pipes leading directly into the water over the seaweed-covered rocks. I wondered how they got away with that. Later, I learned they have a special exemption from the state.

Walking around, I was thoroughly charmed by the ocean views visible over rooftops from its many hillsides. There was something special about the lighting and I wondered if all that ocean around reflected it in some different way. I don’t know, but I was inspired to take more than

230 shots. Then, I was thinking like Wyeth that it can’t all be this beautiful and I began looking for an underbelly.

The newer lobster traps made with plastic-wrapped wire weren’t as appealing as the old wooden ones that aged so nicely, and they were stacked up in various places along with other gear alongside neglected outbuildings.

But even they had their charm. It was in their colors — purples and yellows and lime-greens against weathered cedar shingles.

Near a small beach at the end of one waterfront lane, however, was a burn area with traces of partly-singed trash. Nearby was discarded garbage on rocks exposed at low tide, including lobster and crab shells as well as a pig’s foot in which even nearby sea gulls weren’t interested. Guess they’re picky on Monhegan, being so well fed.

Wyeth must have been talking about that spot when he said about one of his experiences there: “I was down among garbage. Other artists were shooting the surf [and] here I was covered with garbage saying, ‘Thank god they don’t see this

you know…’”

My wife asked me why there was so much more sea glass on that tiny beach compared to others we’d explored on the mainland. I could only shrug my shoulders, but a lady eating at a picnic table nearby said that locals smash their bottles on the rocks. Many shards were still sharp. “Well, that’s another way to recycle,” I thought. Glass is made from sand after all, which is made from rocks.

No car ferries make the 11mile trip and only a few islanders had pickup trucks for the narrow, gravel roads — and they have the right-of-way. We had to step off the road many times when one came by. Most of the houses are old and kept up nicely.

Some were built in the 1700s.

European landings on Monhegan were much earlier than most of the rest of Maine. Some claim there are Viking inscriptions on Manana, the smaller island that helps form Monhegan’s harbor but I didn’t have time to go over there. Others claim John Cabot visited in 1498 and Verrazano certainly was there in 1524. Samuel Champlain and John Smith came in the early 1600s. It’s since been settled and abandoned, destroyed and rebuilt because of wars in Europe and on the mainland, but it has survived into the 21st century and it’s worth the trip.

Your eyes are often the best windows to your health.

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

the years.

While the track record of the RFA’s impact on the federal rulemaking process is mixed, progress has been made over the years. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t do better.

One of the federal agencies that Americans deal with the most is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Frustratingly, the IRS has consistently argued that they are immune from the RFA’s requirements. Congress writes the tax policies, the IRS argues, and its job is simply to enforce the law.

However, on numerous occasions, the IRS has in fact used its power to change existing law or make new rules.

For example, in a recent rule, the IRS failed to address the concerns of small businesses when implementing a law that requires certain income tax preparers to file electronically.

Despite the obvious impact on small businesses, the IRS simply stated that the rule would not have a substantially negative impact on small entities.

The Office of Advocacy urged the IRS to reconsider this decision and conduct an RFA assessment to ensure that the rule’s impact on small businesses was properly taken into consideration. Unfortunately, the agency refused.

The IRS should formally

address the concerns of small businesses in its rulemaking process and be held to the same standard as other federal agencies. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan “IRS Rulemaking Fairness Act,” which would clarify that the IRS must comply with regulatory reviews. The bill, which is co-sponsored by Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), would require the IRS to convene a small business review panel and publish an RFA analysis unless it can actually prove that a proposed rule won’t place an undue burden on small businesses.

I believe this bill represents a commonsense reform that

To The Editor: Last week’s article on the Narrow Gauge (July 14, page 3A) repeats a piece of misinformation that the Town of Gray is presumably using to further its case. No narrow gauge line ever ran through Gray. What ran through Gray from 1914 to 1933 was the Portland-Lewiston Interurban.

If Gray is so interested in having a railroad of its very own, it should ask the Seashore Trolley Museum to return the last surviving car, the Narcissus, which it has kept in dead storage for over 30 years.

It is a pity that the responsible officials in Bridgton have been so lackadaisical in putting together Bridgton’s case for regaining the Bridgton & Saco River. What Mr. Manoian calls the “framework for the competition” — it’s a bid, not a competition — wasn’t a gag order; it hardly prohibited informal contact with abutters to the old right-of-way, or a non-binding understanding with SAD 61 to transfer the acreage it owns, or for all of that exploring avenues whereby the museum entered a relationship with the town such that a right-of-way could be acquired by condemnation if all else failed.

The school currently on the proposed museum site was apparently erected without a “brownfields” study, that is now necessary, and three years have passed without anybody getting one done. Since “possible contamination from the rail depot” will only be succeeded by more contamination of exactly the same kind, I would suggest that such a “study” should be waived. All it could possibly unearth are the firebox clinkers, lumps of coal and scrap iron you can find along the old roadbed to this day. I have a mantelpiece piled with such souvenirs.

Selectman Woodward need not be concerned about the cost of building “historically accurate” structures for the rail yard.

Many photographs survive; the roundhouse so-called was a frame shed with the face of a four-car garage, and the other structures were equally humble.

An old-style barn raising could put all of them up over a weekend.

In sum, it looks as if Bridgton and its officials are finding every reason not to get the B&SR back to Bridgton. It would be a shame to lose a unique treasure for want of vision and energy, not once but twice.

Alex MacGregor Denmark and Chicago, Ill.

simply requires the IRS to do what it should have been doing all along — listening to the voices of those they are impacting. When small businesses have a seat at the table in evaluating the rules that affect them, the final rules are more effective and efficient, and that’s better for everyone.

While “regulation” may remain a dirty word to some, the least we can do is seek to improve them so that they accomplish their goals without unduly burdening the very people they are often designed to help.

While the word “regulation” has received a bad reputation over the years, it’s important to remember that regulations play an important role in keeping Americans safe and secure. They protect the safety of the food we eat, and they help keep the air we breathe and the water we drink clean.

And while regulations are necessary, it’s critical that we make sure they don’t adversely affect the very people and organizations that they were designed to assist or protect.

To that end, in 1980, Congress passed the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), which required federal agencies to study proposed regulations for the impact they’d have on smaller entities, such as small businesses and nonprofits. The RFA also created an Office of Advocacy within the Small Business Administration, which to this day works to ensure that the interests of small businesses are protected in the federal rulemaking and enforcement process.

One of the RFA’s findings sums up the problems with federal regulations prior to the 1980 law taking affect: “laws and regulations designed for application to large scale entities have been applied uniformly to small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions even though the problems that gave rise to government action may not have been caused by those smaller entities.” What the RFA essentially sought to do was reduce the use of the “one-size-fits-all” approach to regulations that have been the target of such resentment over

(Continued from Page D) head’s time on an inspection that has nothing to do with his job responsibilities? Why is she degrading the job of fire chief? At the town meeting last month, she let everyone know that the 32 hours per week for the fire chief’s position were for administrative duties and this did not include fire calls. This stand has now been reversed!

It is sad to see the way this town is being managed. We were told that we have limited money available to us and this was part of the reason for the reduction in three positions.

Of course, salary increases and other positions did occur at the expense of those three individuals, but we now hear that the contractor for Haleytown Road has been let go and, at the town manager’s bidding, the town will be spending an additional $6,900 to hire a new contractor that is friends with the town manager. Something smells! Conveniently, two tapes of meetings (a Budget Committee meeting and the first night of town meeting) that addressed the reductions in salaries and the comments of the town manager have been lost due to technical errors.

Amazing!

After the first night of the town meeting in June, I was confronted by the wife of one of our town officials, who stated that if a 32-hour per week position for the fire chief failed, it would be because the chief sabotaged things. First and foremost, this individual owes the fire chief an immediate apology for impugning his integrity. But the second thing that I want to say about her comment is that Ozzie has continued to work in a professional manner, despite the roadblocks placed upon him by the town manager. Assigning nonsense tasks to his job responsibilities and utilizing an unqualified individual to make assessments on burned buildings shows that the effort to sabotage things belongs to the town manager and not the fire chief!

This town needs to wake up!

I don’t know what the agenda of this town manager is, but it seems very inappropriate to me. If selectmen are going to follow her like puppets, they are equally culpable.

One final thought, we had one citizen speak up at town meeting criticizing the number of firefighters and vehicles who responded to a call early morning of that first town meeting night. This individual has no firefighting experience to my knowledge, and would be the first one to complain or file a lawsuit if he was involved in that situation and we responded in the manner he seemed to suggest. We respond the way

Welcome to Medicare physical. You cannot receive your Welcome to Medicare physical in the same year you have an annual wellness visit. During the annual wellness visit you and your doctor will create a preventive plan based on your needs. During the visit your doctor will: update your medical history and make a list of your current medical providers and medications; create a 5-10 year screening schedule; identify risk factors and discuss ways to possibly avoid them; check your height, weight, blood pressure, and body mass index; and screen for cognitive issues.

With Traditional Medicare, there is no co-pay or deductible for either of these two types of physical exams. If you are in a Medicare private health plan (i.e. Medicare Advantage plan) you should check with your plan to see what rules and costs apply.

Stan Cohen, a Medicare Volunteer Counselor, is available for free, one-on-one consultations at Bridgton Hospital on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 11 a.m. No appointment is necessary. Alternatively, call the Southern Maine Agency on Aging at 800-427-7411 and ask for a Medicare Advocate. Note: Mr. Cohen will not be available on Tuesday, July 26.

“I am highly honored by this appointment, and I’m looking forward to getting started,” said Rep. Cebra (R-Naples), a fourth-term legislator and House chairman of the Transportation Committee.

“We’ll be working on a fast track, as our plan is due to the legislature by Aug. 31. It will be a busy summer.”

The 15-member, bipartisan Reapportionment Commission is composed mostly of incumbent state legislators, including five Republicans and five Democrats.

Governor LePage’s chief counsel, Dan Billings, will represent the Maine Republican Party. Former House Republican leader Josh Tardy has been named as one of the three members of the public serving on the panel.

Representing the Democratic Party will be Dick Grandmaison of Lewiston. Cathy Newell, chairman of the Oxford County Democrats, will serve as a member of the public. Commission members will elect a chair from among their own numbers.

The group will ensure that each congressional district is formed of compact and contiguous territory. The members also will focus on respecting town and county boundaries as much as possible, while establishing districts of roughly equal population.

Based on the Census results, Maine will retain the two congressional districts it currently has, although their makeup will likely change due to population shifts.

Maine registered a total population of 1.328 million last year, so each district will have approximately 665,000 residents.

The legislature is scheduled to meet in special session later this year to vote on the Commission’s proposal. Under statute, the legislature must enact the Commission’s plan or a plan of its own by a twothirds vote of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

I died twice

I have died twice this month.

My first death happened while driving home from my girlfriend’s house on July 3. My Camry was struck by a drunk driver. I was killed within minutes, and minutes away from my home. My coworker Lisa Ackley wrote the story. Bummer; It’s always sad when people die around a holiday because a handful of friends remember them every time that holiday rolls around.

Plus, I left behind a 7-year-old daughter days before her July birthday.

I averted that death by not driving home, and slept comfortably in my friend’s guest bedroom.

The other death would have been extremely newsworthy.

(Earlier that day I took a spill while running two empty trash cans downhill; and, my elbow caught the brunt of my fall.)

In my hypochondriac ‘s mind, a splinter of bone broke loose and traveled through my blood stream. Hours or even days later, the bone pierced my heart. That death would have been theatrical, symbolic and out-of-the-blue: A playing out of life that’s better than fiction.

(I would later learn my detailed dying was more akin to the science-fiction section ­— given its improbability.)

Since that fall really happened and my elbow had been very swollen and painful, I took a trip to Mercy in Windham where the doctor informed me that tissue keeps bone splin-

“We Don’t Leave Until You’re Happy.”

ters from travelling through the body. I was embarrassed and relieved to hear that piece of information from Anatomy 101.

Perhaps, I was a little disappointed because that would have been a memorable death that would have landed my life in Ripley’s Believe it or not — along with historical accounts of human spontaneous combustion.

Both of my deaths were the result of an overactive imagination.

I must pause here to address a concern I might have if I were the reader, rather than the writer.

If I were the reader – and as a former crisis hotline worker – an orange flag would go up that a suicide checklist is in order.

Rest assured. I’ve asked myself those questions — the ones heard on the ads for antidepression medications.

Lately, I’ve engaged in and enjoyed life-affirming activities: Planning my daughter’s 8th birthday party, exploring the shoreline and surf at Fort Williams with my best friend, and the procrastinated transplanting of forget-me-nots to my dog’s grave in the forest.

I like to view my mind excursions as a better-thantelevision-watching activity that includes strange scripts, Hallmark happenings, crazy characters, and perhaps, a plunge into the paranormal.

What I conjure up is NOT what I wish would happen.

Simply put, this would have been a more appropriate first sentence: I delight in what happens when the imagination dog extends the length of its leash, and takes me for a rambling run along the paths of what is not.

My imaginings turn the mundane into a miraculous adventure.

A decade ago, on a return trip from grocery shopping, I swerved to avoid a vehicle that crossed over the line.

In my head began the story of a woman who died in a crash.

Using the strong connection to her life with a new husband, she willed her body back to life as well as a dent-free car and groceries back in bags.

She thought the crash was just a daydream, and arrives home.

When the news of her death comes in a phone call to her husband, he doesn’t believe it.

She convinces him not to go to her funeral, while his family members seek counseling for what they see as extreme denial. The couple moves to the mountains — apart from everyone. Eventually, this story’s happily-ever-after would be about humans letting go and accepting the truth.

Or, they could raise goats into infinity.

There was one time my extravagant thought process got out of hand.

In 1991, I became convinced that a co-worker was the Gainesville serial killer.

She had transferred to the Anchorage Times from Florida to teach everyone a new computer system. She started dating someone in our circle of friends from the city copy desk.

They went away for the weekend, and I agreed to feed her cat and check the mail. That’s when her black cat scratched me on the arm.

Suddenly, I connected the dots. She has an evil cat. She was always glued to the news when stories of the college campus killer were televised.

She was in Gainesville at the time, but the murders had stopped since she arrived in Alaska. My friend’s romantic weekend was a deathtrap.

After I revealed my suspicions to two girlfriends at a local coffee shop, my theory seemed less logical in the light of their compassionate conversation with me. I agreed it would make a better book than accusation.

In my mind lies a magical tale of candy-flavored chips that grow below the glacial bay. The story developed while slitting and gutting the bellies of countless salmon on the slime line. It was a tale to take my mind from monotony and pain in hands and wrists.

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor Routine physical exams with your primary care doctor can be used to screen for many illnesses and conditions that, if caught early, can be treated and managed, and can result in far fewer serious health consequences. There are now two kinds of Medicare 100% covered physical examinations: 1.

The Welcome to Medicare physical exam (available during the first 12 months after you enroll in Part B, regardless of your age); and 2. The annual wellness visit.

The Welcome to Medicare physical exam includes: review of medical and social history; review of potential for depression or other mental health conditions; review of ability to function safely in the home and community; check of your height, weight and blood pressure, and body mass index and vision test; optional discussion of end-of-life planning (advance directives); education, counseling and referral related to other preventive services covered by Medicare; also may include an electrocardiogram (EKG) to help detect heart disease.

Died twice

(Continued from Page D) Co-workers would join me in spoken details of the undersea garden of chocolate, butterscotch and cinnamon chips.

Each kind of chip was worth a different price — like red, silver and dog salmon. The smell of chips baking in the factory ovens was heavenly, especially compared with what our nostrils were accustomed to. The saga of the sweet sea product grew and sustained us until break time.

So, I invite you to sit down, turn on your mind, and see what is showing.

D. Michael Frink, Esq.

David L. Szott

Marion L. York

PORTLAND — David Michael Frink, 57, of Newcastle, died at Maine Medical Center in Portland on July 11, 2011.

His life was filled by the people he loved, and his many professional, civic and personal interests, culminating in 18 holes of golf at Poland Spring and a swim in Little Sebago Lake where he was on vacation with his family when he was suddenly struck down by a cerebral aneurysm.

Born in Hartford, Conn., to David Alfred and Marie (Cavanaugh) Frink on Nov. 16, 1953, he grew up in the Farmington Valley where he was shaped by the strong personalities of his grandparents. Whether at the Connecticut shore, the woods surrounding Great Pond or among the Barndoor Hills overlooking tobacco country, Michael made powerful connections with his own sense of place.

Following his graduation from Simsbury High School in 1971, he entered Dartmouth College, where he majored in government and philosophy. He graduated, cum laude, in 1976. His love for learning and cultural immersion took him in many directions: to Salamanca University in Spain and The University of Edinburgh, and later in life, with Zen teacher Robert Aitken, within the Diamond Sangha to a zendo near Honolulu, Hawaii.

Eventually, he followed the same career path chosen by Grandpa Cavanaugh, who served as in-house counsel to Aetna, Inc. While at Suffolk University in Boston, Michael was made Editor-in-Chief of its Law Review.

After earning his Juris Doctorate in 1981, he clerked for the Hon. Hugh H. Bownes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Judge Bownes, a civil rights crusader, prison reformer and champion of war protesters and feminists, made an indelible impression on Michael, who also treated everyone, young and old, with the same courtesy, humor and respect.

Michael came to Maine seeking a life that combined his professional development with the outdoors and boating. He worked in the public sector as assistant attorney general. In 1986, he was recruited by Curtis Thaxter of Portland, where he became a principal lawyer in administrative, insurance and healthcare specialties, as well as government affairs, public policy and litigation. Named among Woodward and White’s Best Lawyers, he was also the only attorney in Maine admitted to the Federation of Regulatory Counsel. He was frequently asked to speak and write about health care reform and, in particular, Maine’s experience in the national context. He was recently selected to participate in the prestigious health care leadership program of the Daniel Hanley Center, in conjunction with the Institute for Civic Leadership, where a network of leaders are working to transform health care in Maine.

He married Martha Chaplin Stetson on the island of Kauai in 1995 and together they made their home on a hilltop in Newcastle, where they enjoyed cultivating gardens and friendships and many hours of treasured family time.

Michael served on the boards of Lincoln Academy, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Kennebec Valley YMCA. Some of his greatest pleasures, however, came from coaching youth basketball at the Central Lincoln County YMCA, plying the waters beyond Sheepscot Bay, swimming at the Bath YMCA, painting and making music with a group of friends who called themselves “The Colliders.”

In addition to his wife and parents, In Memory of Michael leaves his son Julian; stepchildren, Leah Stetson of Raymond Brittany Maeve and Tad Stetson of Whitefield; his Carter Douglass sister Ann-Marie (Amy) Frink of Lakewood, Colo., his brother Richard 1986 — 2005 Frink of East Granby, Conn.; three nephews and three nieces; two aunts.

He was previously deceased by his sister, Marcia Ann. A service of remembrance will be held for Michael on Aug. 6, at the First Congregational Church in Wiscasset, at 2 p.m., with The Rev.

June was active in her community as a member of Eastern Star and a Girl Scout leader. She worked tirelessly to support her family, spending most of her working years in shoe factories and eventually semi-retiring from Sebago Moc at the age of 66. It was a major source of pride for her to see her children and grandchildren graduate from college.

June was a spirited, yet kind, woman who was loved by all that knew her. Her grandchildren would describe her as “the coolest,” and she was often referred to as Grammy or Me Me, by the neighborhood kids, who flocked to her home.

June’s family meant the world to her. Her favorite pastimes included soaking up the sun, going to yard sales, and reading. She loved the ocean and shared a fascination for Native American culture with her twin sister.

DANBURY, CONN. — Vera Roslyn McBean Kaulback passed away on July 13, 2011, in Danbury, Conn. She celebrated her 91st birthday just two weeks previously with friends at Filosa Convalescent Home in Danbury, Conn., where she resided since January.

Vera was born in St. Malachi, Quebec, on June 25, 1920, the daughter of Annie Rutherford McBean and Albert McBean, at the dairy farm of her maternal grandparents. Her parents brought her home to Rumford shortly after her birth. Vera grew up in Rumford with her parents, her two brothers, Wesley and Ray, and other beloved aunts, uncles and cousins. She lived her entire life as a Mainer, until at age 89, when she moved to Connecticut to be closer to her two daughters. The Rumford vicinity was her home for the first 39 years of her life, until 1959, when she moved to Yarmouth.

In 1942, she married Lloyd Kaulback, who served in the South Pacific as a Seabee for three years in World War II. After the war, they lived with their two daughters in Rumford and summered in Harpswell and at Worthley Pond, East Peru. They enjoyed many happy times with their extended family and members of their church family from the Rumford Baptist Church.

Vera graduated from Stephens High School in 1937 and from Farmington Normal School in 1940. In 1957, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Farmington. She took courses and studied constantly throughout her life, working toward her master’s degree and taking courses in the countless subjects that interested her. She believed in and loved learning and wanted to share her love of learning with others around her.

Vera’s first teaching job was in the two-room school house in Wilson Mills. She taught for over 30 years in Mexico, Rumford, Virginia, Freeport and Yarmouth. Her last position was as reading consultant for the Yarmouth Public Schools. She loved teaching and the hundreds of students that she taught over her career, and many of them remembered her and contacted her in later years, bringing pictures and sharing stories of their time together.

She also thoroughly enjoyed her fellow teachers and colleagues and met regularly with many of them after retirement.

When she wasn’t reading or studying, she enjoyed decorating and had a flair for color and style, which was evident in her wardrobe and dressing throughout her life. Even in the assisted living and nursing home days, people often commented on her stylishness and sense of color.

Vera was well known in Yarmouth, not only from the many years she taught there, but also from her active participation in the Yarmouth Baptist Church as a deacon and Superintendent of Sunday Schools.

Her husband, Lloyd, who was a vice-president of Hannaford Brothers and manager of Food Town stores in Lewiston, Auburn, and Rumford, passed away in 1975. As a widow, Vera continued an active and engaged life, traveling around the United States, Canada, and Europe with family and friends. Her special traveling companion was her sister-in-law Marion and she and Marion spent winters in Sanibel, Fla., for many years.

Vera studied painting and, in her 60s, rode on a float in the Yarmouth Clam Festival as a “Budding Young Artist of America.”

Some of the happiest times of her life were the summers that she worked at Tripp Lake as a waitress. Up to the last week of her life, her family could bring a smile to her face by reminding her of her Tripp Lake adventures.

She is survived by her two daughters, Brenda Kaulback of North Salem, N.Y. and Casco, and Carol Vaughn of Rowayton, Conn. and Boca Grande, Fla.; her four grandchildren; a great-grandson; and several nieces and nephews; and two cousins.

She was predeceased by her husband, Lloyd; and her brothers, Raymond and Wesley.

A time of visitation was held on Saturday, July 16, 2011, at the Jones, Rich & Hutchins Funeral Home, 199 Woodford Street, Portland. Funeral services followed at the funeral home. Her niece and nephew, Peter and Teresa McBean of Richmond, Va., officiated. Interment was at the FarringtonMorton Cemetery in Mexico.

Open Farm Day Open Farm Day 2011 is a wholesome family adventure that offers a hayride of fun.

This Sunday, July 24, farms throughout all 16 counties will open their gates to offer the public an opportunity to learn about the business of agriculture.

Open Farm Day gives you and your family the chance to visit local farms throughout the state. Visiting hours are generally from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but some farms are extending their hours for special events such as milking.

This year marks the 22nd year of celebrating Maine’s Open Farm Day. Farms around the state are committed and passionate about ensuring the sustainability of agriculture.

Maine’s farming industry has given back to their communities by providing a forum for education and learning in a fun atmosphere.

Many farms will have demonstrations, displays, and farm-raised products for sale, as well as animals and crops to experience. Activities include barn and field tours, milking, hay rides, petting zoos, nature trails, beautiful scenery, samples for tasting, and refreshments.

“Along the way you can share in the pride Maine farmers put into the products they grow for the local market,” said Maine Department of Agriculture Commissioner, Walt Whitcomb. “Buying local really does wonders for our community.”

The “buy local” trend is extremely popular and this is an excellent opportunity for all Maine residents and visitors to seek out local food and farm products. Fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better and are an environmentally friendly means of obtaining food.

Area farms taking part include:

New England Electric

DeerWood Farm & Gardens, Beverly and Brian Hendricks, 571 Norway Road, Waterford. Diversified organic farm.

This is a small three-acre farm with one greenhouse that supplies salad greens very early and late in season.

The Hendricks expanded their gardens to include a pumpkin patch for the local elementary school and another dedicated to growing vegetables for providing locally and canning purposes. They field grow and sell over 250 varieties of daylilies. “We are an environmentally friendly farm,” they said.

There are demonstration gardens with the no till approach, mulching with hay, making new garden areas the easy way. They are now a Certified Wildlife Habitat!

Open Farm Day is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Directions: From Bridgton, take Route 117 to Route 37 in North Bridgton. Take Route 37 to Route 118 (Norway Road).

Left onto Route 118 for 2.4 miles. Farm is on the left; From Lovell-Fryeburg, take Route 5 to Route 118 in North Waterford, go 3 miles from the split in the road. They are on the right.

Sunshine Daydream Farm and Gardens, Michelle Delucia and Eric Fisher, 377 Center Conway Road, Brownfield. Organic sheep, gardens and felted wearables.

Nestled in the western foothills of Maine along the New Hampshire border, you’ll find a small farm with a flock of beautiful fleece sheep. They specialize in naturally colored merinos and Corriedales.

Stroll through their organic flower gardens used for growing natural dye plants. Visit their studio and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of fiber and natural FARM, Page 12D

Mother Seton House of Fryeburg congratulated

NORTH CONWAY — The Advisory Board of the Gibson/Woodbury Charitable Foundation (GWCF) concluded its first year of operation by inviting trustees of Mother Seton House (MSH), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting pregnant women, new mothers, and infants in need, to the Gibson/Woodbury House in North Conway.

GWCF Advisory Board presented Alan Broyer, MSH Board chairman with a check for $30,000 as a gift toward the purchase of a home in Fryeburg.

This substantial sum allows Mother Seton House to proceed with the essential goal of a safe, supportive environment for mothers and infants.

With his family members present, Mark Butterfield, GWCF executive director, explained to the gathering that this grant request among all the others that the Board made in 2011, exemplifies the core values of its founders, the Gibsons and the Woodburys, that education should begin as

early as possible and then be nurtured throughout childhood by a caring and loving parent or parents who are able to provide a stable learning environment.

The Gibsons and the Woodburys were strong believers that the best education a child could ever experience begins in the home and that those early years of life are the most critical to early childhood formation of positive learning habits and the development of a strong work ethic.

The Advisory Board of the Gibson/Woodbury Charitable Foundation is honored to be a part of the inception of the Mother Seton House residence in Fryeburg. Coincidentally, the MSH mission of providing education, counseling, referrals, and physical, emotional and spiritual support within a caring community to new mothers and children was one of the guiding principles that the founders envisioned when they initiated the creation of the Gibson/Woodbury Charitable Foundation.

To The Editor: Even for a Chicago politician, this is an all-time low. To take something as important as the staggering amount of debt that our country has accumulated in the last couple of years and turn it into a crass political ploy is not a pleasant thing to behold.

The president knows, as does anyone who can count past 20, that the government has more than enough money coming in on a daily basis to pay our debt obligations and 70% of our budget obligations. What the president knows, but not everyone who can count past 20, is that after the U.S. debt is serviced, it is the president who will decide who gets paid and who doesn’t with the huge amount of money that is left after debt service.

When the president says he can’t guarantee that seniors will get their Social Security checks after Aug. 3 it is because the president, not Congress or the Republicans, chooses not to send Social Security checks to seniors. If the president chooses to spend the money that seniors invested in their retirement (Social Security) on other things of greater import, such as financing a Russian steel manufacturer to the tune of $730,000,000 to upgrade a steel mill in Michigan, or keeping the hundred, or so billion dollars left over from the stimulus program as his political slush fund or a couple of trillion dollars on his botched health care scheme (that most people don’t want), then we know where the president’s priorities lie.

Make no bones about it, there is more than enough money to pay Social Security, the military (one of the only truly Constitutional functions of our government) and most of the government’s obligations if only the president would stop shoveling money at his friends and political allies.

As we used to say, when I was in the Marines, this man has stooped so low he could crawl under the belly of a snake with a high hat on. He can’t guarantee that the military will get paid or that seniors will get their Social Security checks.

Who is President Obama trying to kid? For shame Mr. President, for shame!

NPL Bird house auction

NAPLES — Jeff Toole and Dan Edwards have put their best foot forward for the Naples Public Library’s Great Bird House Auction, to be held on Saturday, Aug. 13 at the Naples Golf & Country Club.

Jeff moved to Naples with his wife Vicki to start their own business. Lakes Region Catering has been serving up lobsters and barbecue for the past 14 years. Prior to moving to Naples, he received his degree from Syracuse University and completed a two-year apprenUP FOR BIDS — Local artist Jeff Toole’s “Batman & Robin” will be auctioned off on ticeship with a sculptor, so art is Saturday, Aug. 13 to benefit the Naples Public Library. To see all 24 birdhouses up for auction, still a large part of Jeff’s life. visit the Naples Public Library website, www.naples.lib.me.us This is not the first time

Jeff has come to the aid of the library. In the past, he has painted canoe paddles for the Paddle Auction and donated the use of his tent for the library’s yard sale.

This year, Jeff has graciously decorated two houses for the Bird House Auction. He admits to a life-long love of comic books. Though he is a devoted Marvel Comic reader, he couldn’t resist the connection between a bat house and Batman, and who better than Robin to adorn a birdhouse?

Both houses are also covered with some of Batman and Robin’s arch nemeses: the Joker and the Penguin. Both houses are on display at the Freedom Café and Pub in downtown Naples.

not his last. Dan grew up in Naples and received his BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, and was the founder of a Portland design studio, the Art Barn. He returned to the Lake Region to teach at the Lake Region High School.

He has experience with many media. Currently working with digital illustration, colored pencil and markers, he also works in filmmaking, screen writing and flash animation.

“I must have Tiki’s on the brain” said Dan, when questioned about the design for his birdhouse. Two large eyes and a curious, toothy grin are deeply carved into the wood. Dan chose a hanging round birdhouse, just perfect for a Tiki.

There are 24 birdhouses to be auctioned off to benefit the library.

Open Farm Day

SPECIAL MOMENT — Veterans and other members of the public stand for the National Anthem during the Walk of Honor dedication held at the Ronald G. St. John VFW Post.

Walk of Honor dedication HARRISON — Perfect weather, the American flag blowing in the breeze and a brilliant blue Maine sky overhead set the stage for the Ronald G. St John VFW Post 9328 Walk of Honor dedication on Saturday, July 9.

A crowd of over 50, many of whom had purchased bricks in memory/honor of a veteran family member or friend, attended the ceremony.

Senior Vice Commander Lou Bernier officiated, joined

by District 10 Commander Steven J. San Pedro and Walk

of Honor Committee Member Lee Boothby.

The Dedication prayer was given by Reverend Doretta Colburn of North Waterford.

Following the event, refreshments were served in the downstairs dining hall.

The kick-off of brick sales for the Walk of Honor began March 1, 2011, and will continue throughout this year.

Two sites are available for the placement of the 4x8 or 8x8 bricks — the Harrison Village Library Memorial Park (veterans, civilians or

businesses honoring veterans) or the VFW Post (veterans only, placed in the garden area) — and businesses or civilians engraved on granite stone 12x24 or 12x12 in the Post’s front walkway.

Prices range from only $75 to $300. Proceeds will be used to replace the roof and other renovations necessary to upgrade the Post building.

For more information concerning the purchase of a brick/granite stone, please contact Muffett Crowell at 809-4605 or 850-501-2709.

Bridgton School Age Child Care (SACC)

beginning in Sept.

Bridgton/Naples/Casco Area FMI call 655-2154 Pastor Douglas Heuiser

needs community support

SACC – A fully-licensed child care before-and-after school program

647-8291

and an 8-week summer program for students of S.A.D. 61 SACC – Located at the Stevens Brook Elementary School but budget reductions may force us to relocate or be dissolved.

The Lake Region School Board of Directors recently voted to eliminate the community use of facility monies from the 2011–2012 budget.

Currently, only for-profit organizations that use district facilities are charged, but if this budget passes all organizations will be charged.

SACC – Would not be able to absorb this kind of increase and continue an affordable program. 62% of the students at Stevens Brook Elementary School are classified as economically disadvantaged and many of our families are single parents.

SACC – Is not alone. Recreation programs and any other organization that uses district facilities will be charged.

SACC – Needs community support. Put these monies back into the 2011–2012 school budget at the District Referendum Hearing at the Lake Region High School gymnasium at 6:30 p.m. on August 2, 2011.

Please attend the referendum hearing. Then, go to the polls on August 9, 2011 and VOTE to approve the MSAD #61 2011–2012 budget.

Your help is greatly appreciated,
