Pike’s Corner fix will take time

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — If it is permissible, the Town of Casco may push ahead paying for

whatever solution is most appropriate for the dangerous intersection known as Pike’s Corner.

The upcoming meet-

ing between the new town manager and the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) may shed some light on

what can be done, how much it will cost and, if and when the state will reimburse the town if Casco covers the cost to get the job done sooner.

The informal meeting between the town manager and MDOT staff is set to take place in August.

Casco Town Manager Courtney O’Donnell on Tuesday sought input from the Casco Board of Selectmen on what questions should be asked in order for the town to move forward with a solution for the dangerous intersection at the corner of Routes 121 and 11.

She reminded the board that there is no immediate solution and that any solution — whether it is a fourway stop or a new traffic signal — will take a while to be put into place.

Riders bring message of vet dignity

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer While a road trip from Bar Harbor to Bridgton on a motorcycle might sound fun to plenty of people, for the Epic Riders it was part of a grueling 13,500-mile ride across the nation.

The reason behind the five-week, whirlwind ride is to raise awareness and funding for a veterans’ cemetery in California that has yet to accept in-ground burials.

Along the way, the Epic Riders have presented Killed in Action (KIA) flags

to eight different families whose loved ones died while serving their country.

“It’s a pretty noble thing that they are doing. Riding in 115 degree heat — they had days of those temperatures across the southwest. They just came into Maine, they

have been on the road for 21 days,” American Legion Post 67 Commander Don Mulcahy said.

A PLACE TO RELAX, ENJOY THE VIEW & A COLD BREW — Lisa and Shaun Graham have opened Fluvial Brewery and Tasting Room, located adjacent to their home on Maple Ridge Road in Harrison.

Pursuing their passion to brew Two years in making, Fluvial Brewery arrives

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer HARRISON — Shaun Graham clearly remembers how the first batch of beer he brewed with a kit tasted.

“It was terrible,” he said.

His passion to brew pushed Shaun to study the craft, brew, adjust, seek advice and brew over and over again.

Now, Shaun and Lisa Graham are putting their brew to the ultimate test — they have officially opened Fluvial Brewery and Tasting Room, located adjacent to

their home on Maple Ridge Road in Harrison.

After a “soft” opening for family and friends in early July, the tasting room is finally open to the public.

It marked a true pursuit of one’s passion and vision.

One their website, the Grahams described the adventure, which proved to be a two-year journey to creating a brewery/tasting room that the couple are “incredibly” proud of: “Our love of brewing beer started in 2009 with a home brew kit from a local home-brew

shop as a cool Christmas gift. That grew into an obsession that we have finally decided to pursue as more than just a fun hobby.

The experiments have been vast and grown from a stove top kit and bucket batch, to a hand-built three-tiered gravity system, to now a full blown small nano brewing system. After many years of wanting and wishing, we are very excited to say that Fluvial Brewing, LLC is coming to life.”

Back from deployment to Iraq in 2008, Shaun hurt his shoulder, and needed surgery. Lisa’s parents bought Shaun a home brew kit.

“I thought it was the coolest thing. I made some

beer, and it was terrible. I obsessed about it, and got into it more and more,” he recalled.

The more Shaun dabbled, the thought of building and running a micro-brewery started to take shape.

“We talked about doing this back then (before the big explosion in microbrews), but we weren’t ready for it. Lisa thought it would never work in Maine, and it was a stupid idea,” Shaun recalled.

“We didn’t have a house then. We weren’t married.

I was just diving into selfemployment myself with my career,” Lisa responded.

FOUND ON A JET SKI — This piece of Eurasian milfoil was removed by LEA courtesy boat inspector Ella Sulloway.

Big ‘save’ Invasive plant found on jet-ski

By Mary Jewett Lakes Environmental Association Ella Sulloway of Bridgton made a big “save” this summer.

On Sunday, July 21, Ella was working as a courtesy boat inspector from the Lakes Environmental Association at Sebago Lake State Park. Ella was about halfway through her eight-hour shift when a jet-ski came to the ramp, traveling from the Mystic River in Massachusetts.

The jet-ski looked clean until Ella crouched down to look at the intake area on the bottom, where she BOAT INSPECTOR discovered a large clump Ella Sulloway, who was of plants hanging down. working the Sebago She removed as much as State Park area. possible and bagged it up.

The boater seemed to be unaware of how serious it was to transport plants on watercraft and wasn’t concerned.

It is, in fact, illegal to transport any aquatic plant over land in Maine.

After removing as much as possible, the boater launched the jet-ski into Sebago Lake.

“When they returned two hours later, the owner appeared to be more conscious and apologized for their lack of attentiveness,” LEA reported. “Sebago Lake has several infestations of variable milfoil throughout the lake and the boater may have seen several areas marked with yellow buoys.”

Ella brought the fragments to the LEA office, where most of it was immediately identified as Eurasian Milfoil. Lake Stewards of Maine and the Maine DEP quickly confirmed the identification.

There was also a large amount of native hornwort mixed in, which looks similar at first glance.

The Mystic River Watershed Association is currently working on eradicating water chestnut, but there is almost no mention of control measures for what is obviously a healthy population of Eurasian milfoil. Eurasian milfoil is an aggressive invasive plant, most commonly treated with herbicides.

This plant was discovered in Cobbossee Lake in Winthrop last summer, but is only found in two other small ponds in southern Maine.

While this was a good opportunity for the boat inspector to inform the jet-ski owner about this issue, it was also another reminder that many boaters are not taking this threat seriously. Clearly, more education about and enforcement of the laws in Maine is needed.

Passion to brew

Harrison couple realizes vision, opens brewery, tasting room

Fluvial (adj.): produced by or found in a river ABOUT FLUVIAL BREWERY Where: 860 Maple Ridge Road, Harrison Telephone: (207) 779-5588 Hours: Thursday 3 to 7 p.m.

Friday 3 to 8 p.m.

Saturday 12 to 8 p.m.

Sunday 12 to 4 p.m. to work on the room’s peaks was a challenge — one he overcame.

Leaning on Lisa’s pay to support the family meant the project was on a tight budget — thus Shaun tackled more of the work, while also receiving help from friends.

“We traveled a lot to get materials because we were always looking for the best deals because we were on a tight budget. We learned some lessons that you get what you pay for,” he said.

“I also found that projects I thought might take two to four hours to complete, sometimes turned into two or four days.”

Frustration, however, eventually gave way to a feeling of accomplishment.

“We built this. Doing it ourselves adds more pride to it. We’ve had some help along the way, but that’s why it has taken a while to complete the project,” Shaun said. “It was a brutal winter and spring, which made it tough to build.”

“Shaun was hammering day in and day out. Now, here we are. I helped where I could,” Lisa added. “We poured our hearts and souls

into this. We are incredibly proud of what we’ve done and accomplished. As you put on the finishing touches, you can see it all come together — it’s amazing and very rewarding.”

Why call it Fluvial?

Naming a brewery can be “incredibly” challenging, especially if one is looking to trademark that name.

Fluvial proved to be the natural pick.

“Shaun and I are whitewater rafting guides, that’s how we met. The rafting business is at the core of who we are and why we are. Our closest friends are from that industry, as well.

The name had to be related to or tied into white water.

So, after going through 500 names and doing trademark searches (being taken or sounding too close to a name),” Lisa said.

They came up with two or three options.

“One of our river friends really helped us out, and gave us some ideas. I fell in love with fluvial. It’s hard to pronounce, but the definition — found and created in a river — fit us. We went with it, came up with a graphic design that represents both rafting and brewing,” Lisa said. “The ‘stick man’ tells the story about us.

It’s so important. Our kids are little river rats — we have a photo of Tuckerman going down the river at nine months, not whitewater but on a raft (they couple built a camp in The Forks area).

We’re super outdoorsy.”

The “stick man” has been incorporated into the Tasting Room as iron tap handles.

“Fluvial is a mouthful, for sure. So, we felt we had to have a super strong logo and the ‘stick man’ has drawn a lot of attention,” Shaun said.

That love of the outdoors is evident at Fluvial Brewery and Tasting Room.

“We have a great spot here with some great trails.

We’ve created a business, but it’s beyond just brewing. For me, it more about creating a third home for

(Rivet Photos) people— a place where you can hang out and enjoy company,” Lisa said. “I really hope we’ve created a place where people not only can enjoy a beer and the views, but also relax in a family-friendly environment. Tell some stories. The hope is to develop trails to hike or mountain bike, cross country ski and snowshoe.

The bigger vision is to build a disc golf course. We have 40 acres to work with.”

Since the Grahams purchased their home in 2009, they’ve immersed themselves in the community, especially volunteering as coaches with local rec programs.

In turn, the community, they say, have been “super supportive” of their brewery project. The Grahams have also been impressed with the willingness of those in the craft beer circles, be it at conferences or other gatherings, to share information and offer helpful tips.

“The journey has been long and a lot of frustrating times, but I enjoy doing it.

I enjoy the creativity and working with my hands,” Shaun said. “The vision for this is that we’re not on Main Street. So, we wanted to create something that once someone comes here, they’ll want to come back — be a destination.

We knew to make it a destination, it couldn’t be a

Word is starting to spread.

The Grahams feel “they’ve nailed it.”

Really good beer.

Amazing atmosphere.

A cozy place to relax and connect, either with others or the great outdoors.

Hours will depend on beer supply, based on a “small system” Fluvial is currently using. Fluvial beer will be available at

some local spots, and the Grahams plan to sell growlers (jug size, see photo) out of the taste room.

“This is not a bar. This is our home,” Lisa added.

“It will always be a family atmosphere.”

The Grahams are excited to see how their vision and passion for brewing will be received.

“Over time, we’ll see where we are at, whether to expand or to keep it just like this,” Shaun added. “Now, the real fun begins.”

“We’ve had some hits and misses along the way,” he said.

Was his beer any good?

Well, when the couple married, Shaun served up his own brew at the wedding reception. He received very good reviews.

Two years ago, Shaun and Lisa both were on the road daily working in Portland. The long commute started Shaun thinking.

“We were missing the kids’ stuff. I didn’t want to do that forever,” he said.

While watching a Red Sox game, the idea of building a brewery resurfaced.

“Let’s do it,” they said.

It took about two years to develop. The Grahams hoped to be operational by this past March 15, but delays pushed their opening to July.

“We built a camp ourselves a few years ago, so we took the same simple approach — design something that is cozy, warm and inviting,” Lisa said.

The couple considered what size building they could afford right now, and came up with a blueprint.

Initially, the building was split — half brewery (with a lab upstairs), half tasting room. But, Shaun was quick to point out he needed more brewing space.

“We made it work. It is tight. It’s cozy. Our whole goal and business model has been to build this without taking on too much debt. We felt like this was a good starting point,” Lisa said. “If it takes off, great, we have plenty of room to expand. We could build a production facility down below (on the property) and convert the entire building into a tasting room. That’s our vision.”

Shaun started a “slow phase out” at his Portland job, eventually placing full attention on building the brewery and tasting room.

The project presented a slew of challenges. Shaun isn’t a fan of heights, so climbing

Harrison ups fee schedule

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer HARRISON — When Jim Fahey looked at the going rate for new building construction permits, he found Harrison lagged behind surrounding towns.

“You’re losing money,” the assistant code enforcement officer told Harrison selectmen at their recent board meeting.

While suggesting increases to move Harrison to the “middle of the pack,” Fahey added that the hikes were not an attempt to generate more revenue, but to at least cover the town’s costs of overseeing development.

Recommended fees were: • Minimum building permit fee, $15 (nearby towns charge $20 or $25) • New construction or addition, finished, 30 cents per square foot, up from 20 cents; unfinished, 10 cents per square foot, up from 6 cents (Area towns charge the following for new building construction permits — Bridgton at 28 cents a square foot, Casco at 26

cents, Raymond at 30 cents, and Otisfield at 26 cents) • Building Code Ordinance violation penalties — $35 for re-inspections, $35 same day inspections, and $100 to $2,500 per day for starting construction without a permit.

The town is seeing plenty of building action this summer. Fahey noted the CEO office had 19 building inspections over the past 20 work days.

“When was the last time the fees were adjusted?”

Selectman Rick Sykes asked.

“It’s been years,” Fahey responded.

“Not since I’ve been here (six years),” added Town Clerk Melissa St. John.

Town Manager Tim Pellerin initiated the review of permit fees, noting that in other communities he has worked in, fees helped subsidize the code enforcement officer position rather than having all taxpayers pick up the tab for development.

The board approved the fee changes by a 5–0 vote.

Woman found unconscious along river

FRYEBURG — A 45-year-old Laconia, N.H., woman, who was unconscious and found in bushes along the Saco River, was located by the Fryeburg Police Airboat Team at 5:30 p.m., on Saturday.

The woman was found at Mile 14 of the Saco River in Fryeburg. Officers spotted a kayak up on an embankment and the unconscious woman was found in the nearby bushes upon further investigation.

After several attempts, the boat crew was able to waken the woman and bring her and her kayak back to safety. The woman was brought by airboat to Lovewell Pond Landing (Mile 15), where she was transferred to waiting

Fryeburg Rescue personnel.

The woman was treated and released.

“Aside from excessive alcohol, it is unknown what caused the woman to collapse. She told officers she got separated from her group after capsizing a mile back from where she was found. Wearing only a bikini and having no other supplies except alcohol on board, she was certainly unequipped for overnight camping on the Saco,” Fryeburg Police Chief Joshua Potvin said.

“The woman was making a seven-mile trip, traveling from Walker’s Bridge (Fryeburg) to Brownfield.

With darkness nearing, she is extremely fortunate to have been located when she was.”

SEALS swim for the children SOUTH CASCO — A group of five servicemen, including Navy SEALs, walked into the waters of Long Lake in Bridgton at 5 a.m. last Thursday and began a physically exhausting 16-mile swim from Bridgton to Casco.

The Swim for Sunshine Challenge raises funds to send military families with ill children to Camp Sunshine.

Retired Navy SEAL Mike Wisecup started the event back in 2014 and each year he works with Camp Sunshine to create challenging physical events for Navy SEALs and other members of the military.

“The funds raised through this series of events directly supports both attendance at Camp Sunshine and travel costs to alleviate the financial burden of getting to and from Camp,” said former Navy SEAL Commander, event founder and Camp Sunshine Board Member, Mike Wisecup. “More than $600,000 has been raised through these events over the years, prompting a significant increase in military families – both active duty and veterans – attending Camp. Many of these families would not have known about Camp Sunshine without the publicity surrounding these events.”

Woods Pond water quality improving

IT WAS EARLY when Mike Wisecup and ‘active’ Navy SEALS started their swim.

The swimmers started their day on Long Lake in Bridgton, with an 8-mile journey to the causeway in Naples. The team then swam the 2.5-mile length of Brandy Pond before entering the headwaters of the Songo River. For nearly three miles, the participants navigated the meandering waterway, which opens up into Sebago Lake. The final leg to Camp Sunshine ended with a windswept 2.5 miles.

The Woods Pond Water Quality Association, WPWQA, welcomed friends and neighbors of Woods Pond to the annual meeting at the Woods Pond Beach this past Saturday, July 27.

Supporters of the Pond enjoyed coming together with the common interest to preserve, protect and enhance the water quality of Woods Pond in Bridgton. Attendees enjoyed coffee and donuts by the Pond as they were updated on the Association’s accomplishments over the year and plans for the future.

Jeff Stern, of the WPWQA’s board for directors, gave attendees an encouraging update on the status of Woods Pond water quality. Water testing by Lakes Environmental Association (LEA) and funded by WPWQA identifies three key indicators – chlorophyll, phosphorus and water clarity – improved in 2018 compared to long-term averages. (2019 data is not available yet.)

Consequently, LEA has steadily downgraded its degree of concern for Woods Pond from high/moderate six years ago to average today. One possible reason for the improvement is that the land has mostly healed from a large timber cut a decade ago on the north end of the watershed that caused a great amount of erosion into Woods Pond. WPWQA’s combined efforts with LakeSmart will continue to improve erosion control around the lake in the years to come.

The WPWQA also supports the Courtesy Boat Inspection Program, CBI, through paid staff, as well as a large volunteer effort. New this year was the widelydistributed e-mail newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, e-mail inof@woodspond.org Newly-elected officers for year are: Kelly Margolis, president; Mary Maxwell, secretary; and Carole Ayer, treasurer. Bill Dolan was elected as a new member of the Board.

The Board thanks all those in attendance and those who participate in the efforts to maintain the pond for the enjoyment of the community.

Perfect attendance

State Senator Bill Diamond, D-Windham, earned a perfect attendance and voting record during the recently concluded legislative session. He is one of 20 Senate Democrats to receive a perfect attendance score.

“My constituents expect me to show up and work hard on their behalf,” said Sen. Diamond. “I’m proud of my perfect attendance record and commit to continuing to work hard for the people of Windham, Raymond, Casco, Standish, Baldwin and Frye Island.”

During the First Regular Session of the 129th Maine Legislature, Sen. Diamond cast a total of 350 votes – 100 percent of the votes recorded, excluding absences excused by the Senate President for illness or other extenuating circumstances. This year, lawmakers cast critical votes to protect children in state care, make our roads safer, provide $130 million in property tax relief and create good-paying jobs in rural Maine.

Trust offers lots to choose from

LOVELL — Another busy week is on tap for the Greater Lovell Land Trust.

From Monarchs to yoga to our local youth to America’s tallest chestnut tree to a book reading, there’s something that’s sure to appeal to you.

Please remember that though dogs are permitted on most of the GLLT properties, we ask that you not bring one on a guided walk.

TODAY, Aug. 1, 9:30 a.m. to noon, Monarchs in the field: Monarch butterflies need milkweed plants to survive — as caterpillars they only eat milkweed and Monarch moms lay their eggs on the milkweed plant. We’ll take a walk along a dirt road that abuts a farm field and river, where milkweed grows in abundance and search for Monarchs and other butterflies.

Location: Meet behind the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library to carpool.

Degree of Difficulty: Easy Saturday, Aug. 3, 9:30

a.m. to noon, Yoga in the Woods: As part of the wellness series, Yoga instructor Deborah Nelson, Ph.D., will lead us through a gentle to moderate Yoga experience under the trees. Ever wonder what it would be like to do a tree pose under a tree?

Here’s your chance. As this is a gentle class, no experience is necessary and modifications to poses will be offered. All ages are welcomed and all that is required is a willingness to have your body, mind and spirit be in union with nature (the word Yoga means union, after all). We will walk, perform some poses, practice reflection, and listen to a poem or two to connect our Yoga practice to the outdoors.

Trailhead: Wilson Wing Moose Pond Bog Preserve, Horseshoe Pond Road, Lovell Degree of Difficulty: Easy/ Moderate Wednesday, Aug. 7, 7 p.m., Through Youthful Eyes: The GLLT’s Interns and

Lovell Recreation’s Summer Campers are our future. We’ll listen to the story of their summer adventures and appreciation of the natural world. The evening will conclude with an ice cream social to celebrate the accomplishments of these dynamic young people.

Location: Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, Route 5, Lovell Thursday, Aug. 8, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Lovell’s Tallest Claim to Fame: The American Chestnut was once an important tree in the northern forest, though it has largely disappeared following the introduction of a fungus blight in the early 1900s. A few chestnut holdouts, how-

ever, remain in part due to natural variation and human efforts to bring them back.

And the tallest one in North America happens to be located in Lovell. District Forester Shane Duigan of the Maine Forest Service will share the story of how it was discovered. We’ll then hike to view some other chestnut trees at the Heald and Bradley Ponds Reserve.

Trailhead: Meet at the Fairburn parking lot (beyond the boat launch) on Slab City Road to carpool.

Hospitals net high marks

LEWISTON —The federal government confirmed last week what Mainers have known for a long time — their rural hospitals are among the best in the nation.

The state of Maine was honored with a national Quality Performance Award, recognizing high levels of quality by its Critical Access Hospitals. That put Maine among the top 10 top-performing states.

Rumford and Bridgton Hospitals, previously recognized by the Leapfrog Group as two of the top 17 rural hospitals in the nation, are among Maine’s 18 critical access facilities. For the providers, nurses and staff at Rumford and Bridgton, the recognition by the Health Resources and Services Administration was validation of their hard and consistent work delivering top-quality care to the communities they serve.

“Our commitment is to providing the right care in the right place at the right time, every time,” said Peter Wright, FACHE, president of both Bridgton and Rumford Hospitals. “Maine has a long-standing tradition of having one of the highest quality, lower-cost healthcare systems in the country. This recognition proves that to be true.”

The 2019 Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) Quality Performance Awards went to Maine, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Michigan, Utah, Alabama, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

The government created MBQIP to promote highquality care at rural hospitals with 25 or fewer beds.

Participating hospitals voluntarily report quality measures, share data, and take on quality improvement initiatives. Of those engaging in improvement initiatives, 72% have improved outcomes on the reported measures.

These states also built on their previous successes by investing funding from HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) on individual quality projects and working collaboratively with other hospitals to share best practices.

“We’re happy to work with the states on this effort,” said Tom Morris, FORHP associate administrator.

“They’ve done a great job showing that CAHs can be national leaders in quality improvement and that results in better care in rural communities.”

Date set for hotel appeal The Hotel Bridgton project heads to the Appeals Board on Thursday, Aug. 22 at 5 p.m.

Deputy Town Manager Georgiann Fleck said the town’s attorney will be present and will “guide” the Appeals Board as to how they will proceed in considering the appeal filed by the Save Kennard Street group.

The Appeals Board could take one of two approaches: • Appellate basis — Review only the record developed before the Planning Board, including but not limited to exhibits, recorded testimony, argument of counsel or other representatives, minutes, findings or rulings.

The Board shall not receive or consider any new evidence not presented to the Planning Board, but the Appeals Board may receive and consider written or oral

arguments.

If the Appeals Board determines that the record of the Planning Board proceedings or application record is inadequate, the Appeals Board may reverse the decision of the Planning Board only upon finding that the decision was contrary to specific provisions of the ordinance or contrary to the facts presented to the Planning Board.

• De Novo review — Where it is alleged that there is an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by or failure to act by the Code Enforcement officer in his or her review.

The Appeals Board may consider new evidence or information, new testimony or hear new witnesses, and may conduct the review as if the application is being newly presented.

“Points of Error” being raised by Save Kennard Street legal counsel David Lourie are as follows: Point of Error No. 1: The approval of a hotel structure that is not compatible in scale with the surrounding neighborhood was arbitrary and capricious; Point of Error No. 2-A: The approval of a stormwater management plan that constituted an illegal expansion of the General Development District was in error; Point of Error No. 2-B: The approval of the stormwater management plan that authorized the unlawful placement of a prohibited structure and prohibited fill within the stream protection setback was in error; Point of Error No. 2-C: Approval of a stormwater management plan that APPEAL, Page 8A

HARRISON — Scribner’s Mill and Homestead in Bolsters Mills will be open for tours on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 1 to 4 p.m. Come see the newly-restored 1847 sash saw at work and learn about the families who lived in the homestead and operated the various types of machinery on this local industrial site. The recently-published book on the history of Scribner’s Mill will also be available for purchase. A $5 donation per adult is requested for admission. Private or group tours are available by calling 583-6455. Check out scribnersmill.org for more information.

Harrison Board of Selectmen’s meeting notes The board also heard that the town has received several complaints regarding alcohol use and smoking at the beach, as well as dog feces. Another issue is use of the beach by nonresidents. Pellerin said former

local deputy Dan Hastings did a “nice job” patrolling the beach area, and the manager is hopeful that the next deputy assigned to Harrison will follow suit. In the meantime, Pellerin admitted “there’s not a lot I can do.”

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — The town manager announced plans to create a Facebook account for the Town of Casco. Also, a new face will be wielding the chairman’s gavel.

The Casco Board of Selectmen met Tuesday after a three-week hiatus, and some changes are taking place.

New Chairman Thomas Peaslee is not a new face in town government. This summer is the beginning of

his second term on the board of selectmen and, prior to that, he served on the Casco Planning Board.

However, there has not been a change in the person who was chairman for a couple of years. So the face of the person holding the title of chairman will be new to everyone.

Selectman Calvin Nutting nominated Peaslee for the position on the board “Historically this has been a revolving position — nothing against current hier-

archy,” Nutting said after making the motion to nominate Peaslee as chairman.

The board voted for Mary Fernandes as the vice chair.

Also on Tuesday night, newly-hired Casco Town Manager Courtney O’Donnell gave her firstever town manager’s report.

O’Donnell is the former Stockton Springs town manager who was hired to replace longtime Casco Town Manager Dave Morton who retired in June.

O’Donnell only had

two days on the job when the board met earlier this month. At that time, she did not have much to report.

However, a lot has transpired in less than a month with O’Donnell at the helm.

“I am working hard to get up to speed on everything, and meeting people,” she began.

“I have intentions to create a town Facebook page,” she said.

Currently, the Town of Casco does not have a Facebook page and posts REPORT, Page 8A

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — The Town of Casco has found a way to stabilize the mil rate, but there’s a trade-off. The town’s overlay is going up slightly to allow the mil rate to remain the same.

The current tax rate is $15.40; and that amount ($15.40) is what the tax rate will be for the 2019–20 fiscal year.

However, the overlay essentially doubled — going from .007% to .015%. The overlay is designed to cover tax bills that are paid late or when a piece of property is assessed too high and then

corrected to a lower value.

The Casco Board of Selectmen on Tuesday discussed the options and then voted unanimously to keep the mil rate status quo and raise the overlay.

The next step is for the Town of Casco to print and mail out the tax bills to meet the deadline of mid-August.

“We have a tentative date for tax commitment of Aug. 17,” according to Casco Town Manager Courtney O’Donnell.

The options were presented in paperwork prepared

by Ben Thompson with the Cumberland County assessing firm.

O’Donnell gave an explanation of the overlay to the board.

“Last year the overlay was .007%. The overlay is important. Anything left over goes into the Unassigned Balance Fund,” O’Donnell said.

“We had a revaluation done in 2013. It is recommended to do one every eight years. So, it would be a good time now to start saving for it,” she said.

“You can reallocate the overlay funds. That is something we can do,” she said.

One of the selectmen asked the town manager what her recommendation was when it came to setting

the mil rate and overlay.

“I was thinking either the same as this year or a small increase,” she said.

At first, Selectman Grant Plummer advocated for the smallest amount possible because he was assuming that part of this year’s overlay would go toward a future revaluation. However, Town Manager O’Donnell later mentioned that won’t happen until the 2020–21 fiscal years since it needs town meeting approval.

Plummer said, “When we are talking about spending more tax dollars, we should be sensitive to the savings for taxpayers.”

“The red color denotes the blood shed. The black denotes the mourning over the deceased,” Mulcahy said.

The Epic Riders roared into Bridgton about two hours later than anticipated and were thankful for a sitdown meal at the Bridgton Community Center.

The group included Hy “Crash” Libby, who grew up in Maine; Rick “Phin” Phinney; Rick “Shameless” De Arana; and Rick Gomez of New Mexico.

The group was wellversed on their explanation of what was happening with the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery (CCCVC).

“We want to make sure that at the end of life, veterans are buried in the veterans’ cemetery,” he said.

6:52 p.m. Complaint of people smoking at Salmon Point Beach.

“Some families held the ashes of their family member for up to 15 years” until the cemetery accepted urns.

“But, we need full-body in-ground burials. There are a lot of folks that don’t abide by or believe in cremation for the end of life,” he said.

“If veteran’s families cannot bury them at CCCVC, they have to go 100 miles away, which creates a hardship for the family, especially aging members who would like to visit gravesites.”

He said, during the height of the current conflicts overseas, there were 12 people killed in action who hailed from this part of California and yet they could not be buried nearby.

“The presentations to the gold star families are moving and emotional and convinces us that we are doing the right thing,” Libby said.

The money raised goes toward Phase II, in-ground burials of veterans in the California Central Cost Veterans Cemetery, which currently only allows cremated remains to be transferred to the cemetery’s columbaria.

Pellerin reported.

Meanwhile, officials continue to encourage the public to do their best when it comes to recycling. A video from ecomaine is on the town’s website, showing how consumers can help with the recycling process.

As of Tuesday, $1,540 has been pledged by 24 people in six days. The goal is to raise $100,000.

Mohamed Noh, 24, allegedly stabbed and beat his mother outside of their home. He reportedly stabbed Halimo multiple times with a knife and struck her with a splitting maul as she cared for the family’s goats. Noh has been charged with elevated aggravated assault.

They came in from New Hampshire. They came into the museum in South Portland. We had arranged a lunch there. Several of our District 11 dignitaries were there. They spent about 2 1/2 hours touring the museum, having lunch, and proceeded up the coast. They took the scenic route along with all the other tourists,” he said.

Mulcahy said that the riders are working in conjunction with the Killed In Action (KIA) Honor Flag Organization.

“They do a flag presentation ceremony. That is pretty emotional. The flag has a portion of the battlefield cross, and the other is the living veteran. It represents the idea that you leave no one behind. The living vet-

Continuations

Pike’s Corner fix will take time (Continued from Page 1A) or two down the road,” O’Donnell said.

“I am curious to know if there are other solutions they [representatives from the MDOT] are willing to entertain. Or are they adamant that a four-way stop is the only option,” she asked.

“This will be a preliminary meeting to get me up to speed and to get the ball rolling.”

The town will be armed with current information: the numbers of vehicles passing through that area during a few weeks of July.

A traffic sensor was put in place to collect that data.

O’Donnell explained that MDOT has a bi-annual or a two-year budget and project schedule.

“They had a work plan to put in a four-way stop. I was informed that because the town was against the four-way stop, it was taken off that work plan,” she said.

“The four-way stop is the most cost-effective way to address that problem. If we wanted to go beyond that, we would be on the hook for the cost,” she said.

“Obviously it is the state’s road so they would have to approve” whatever the town decides to do, she said.

Selectman Grant Plummer suggested O’Donnell ask MDOT not only what other solutions might be recommended but also if the town could pay for the solution and be reimbursed once the project is on the state’s work list.

“Ask the budget questions, how much to convert it, how soon can it happen?”

“I don’t want to waste anymore time in this process. I don’t want to sit here feeling responsible,” he said.

He said that once the town learns the dollar amount, “we should fund it immediately and then have the state reimburse us in two years when it is on their work list.”

“I think it is time for an outside-of-the-box solution, as soon as possible,” Plummer said.

Selectman Thomas Peaslee said the board is limited because the town does not have jurisdiction over the state road.

“None of us are traffic experts. The people in this town want this but we are really relying on this data to help us. Another town once hired an independent source other than the state,” he said.

“At this point, we are really relying on the state.”

Meanwhile, Selectman Calvin Nutting weighed in on the state’s recommendation.

“I personally don’t believe the four-way stop is the answer,” Nutting said.

Holly Hancock said, “It is a significant change to the traffic.”

Peaslee agreed with Plummer, requesting that O’Donnell pose those questions to the state.

O’Donnell told the board, “Those are good questions.

We would have options to go that route, it might require a special town meeting to appropriate funds.”

Peaslee said the town manager should also ask MDOT about other solutions that were mentioned such as flashing LED lights to warn people about the upcoming intersection and reducing the speed limits.

“There are other things that were mentioned at the [public input] meeting as I read through them — they weren’t bad ideas. We need to have a budget to do some of these other things,” Peaslee said.

“I thought the state would pick up the bill. I thought that road was their responsibility but that might not be the case,” he said.

Audience member Dave

Geary brought up the fact that a bond passed at Town Meeting will help wrap up improvements at the Memorial Field, allowing more events to be held there and more activities to happen there.

“The Memorial Field [expansion] is going to add traffic to that corridor, people pulling in and out of that is going to increase traffic,” Geary said.

“I think there is a bigger corner to look at than just that intersection,” he said.

Hancock brought up the issue of speed and getting drivers to slow down.

Peaslee said that during the public hearing in early July, “someone made a suggestion that from Webbs Mills Village to Quaker Ridge Road, the speed be reduced to 35 mph. That is one thing that wouldn’t cost the state much — I don’t know how much.”

Plummer said that within the last year, the state has already reduced several hundred yards of Route 11 to 35 mph as it passes through Webbs Mills Village.

For the short-term, it was mentioned that maintenance crews could trim back a couple of lilac bushes on Route 121 that are blocking the line of sight for drivers.

New Casco manager gives first report

FAMILY TIES AND A FACE LIFT — The Edes Falls Community Hall has been scraped and painted so the beauty of this old building shines through. Many families in surrounding towns have enjoyed this historic building as a school, meeting house, home to countless celebrations, and the place with the best public suppers around! Ruth Pitts taught here and her sister Mary Bennett was a member. Mary’s son, Gary, wife Beth and their daughters are members and their grandchildren help at the suppers. Hazel Flagg taught here and her daughter Vesta is a member. Local families have made it what it is today and when it needed a facelift Wade Day showed up. After running a business in Florida, the love of Maine and family called him back. He now runs Prime Time Painting and Property Management, and comes from a long line of what residents would call “sewing circle people.” When the community hall needed help, he and Grandville Wooster were ready.

Wade’s grandmother Phyllis was a member of the Sewing Circle and his Aunt Ejay Bosworth is one of the dedicated workers at the public suppers. Family ties continue on.

However, the Casco Fire and Rescue Department does have a Facebook page, which it monitors.

The future Facebook account for the town would be restricted and would not allow public comments, which would eliminate the concern about inappropriate comments or lewd language.

be feel good stories,” O’Donnell said.

People “wouldn’t be able to post directly on our page.”

Speaking of feel-good stories, O’Donnell included some accolades in her town manager’s report.

“I would like to take a second to give staff recognition,” she started out saying.

A woman from New Jersey called the office to tell a story about how her kitten got stuck and how the Casco Animal Control

Officer Jessica Jackson acted promptly and professionally.

“Jessica was courteous and helpful” the caller reported she said.

Additionally, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) was impressed with the fast reaction of Casco Fire Chief Brian Cole and his staff after CCSO reported a missing toddler in the area.

Cole knew which resources to reach out to and reacted quickly.

“As a result, that little girl is safe and sound,” O’Donnell said “I think you guys should be aware of the good stuff,” she told the board.

O’Donnell mentioned some big changes going on in her life that will temporarily impact her work schedule.

She will be out of the office from mid-August through early September because she is getting married and going on her honeymoon.

Watercolorist Cindy Spencer returns to Gallery 302 as guest artist Aug. 2 Watercolor artist Cindy Spencer is returning to Gallery 302 as a guest artist for August. Her show will be up during the gallery’s biennial Art Auction on Friday, Aug. 2, at 5 p.m., and continues until Aug. 30. There will be a public reception for the artist from 5 to 7 p.m., on Friday, Aug. 9. All are welcome to come.

Cindy has exhibited in the Mt. Washington Valley and at Gallery 302, where she taught watercolor for six years.

Spencer says, “The fluidity of watercolor inspires me to allow my paintings to be alive with discoveries.

Without getting caught up in too many details, I like to work at an angle to allow paint pigment to flow and mingle…To encourage the viewer’s imagination to interact with the art, some things are intentionally a little ‘lost,’ while other identifiable images remain.”

Cindy now lives in Wiscasset, and shows at Pemaquid Art Gallery in New Harbor, Boothbay Regional Art Foundation in Boothbay Harbor, and occasionally at Kefauver Gallery in Damariscotta. Her work can also be seen at www.cindyspencerart.com Gallery 302 is located at 112 Main St., in Bridgton.

Mike’s painting has been a consistent outlet for him over the past 15 years. “I’d like to think my work is impactful and sort of musical. Each piece having a tempo, a rhythm, and a melody.” His subject matter comes from an array of influences including a love and appreciation of the rugged Maine landscape, Italian and Spanish architecture, and a love of guitar styles, modern design, and pop culture.

The fate of Maine Indians

NORTH LOVELL — The Lewis Dana Hill Memorial Library will host an open house and presentation by Peter Stowell on Maine’s Indians based on his study of more than one hundred sources, some dating back to the early 1600s and most dating from before 1900. The presentation will be held at 7 p.m., on Friday, Aug. 9, next to the library in the Lovell Lions Club (the former Grange Hall), 2079 Main St., in North Lovell.

As a child, Peter was entranced by the majesty of Oxford County’s mountains and rivers, and began exploring history and geography early in his life. He is now focused on recovering cultural information long lost to present generations through assiduous research in Maine’s defunct newspapers, official state and federal directories and reports, and other informed sources.

His presentation locates the tribes along western Maine rivers and identifies the forces that sealed their fates. Learn the names of Wawenocks kidnapped by George Weymouth and Captain Henry Harlow, and hear about the murder of Squanto, and of hundreds of western Maine Indians who were tricked into being captured and later imprisoned, hung, or sold into slavery, never to be heard from again.

The library is very excited to share this program as part of its annual open house and welcomes everyone to attend.

Livingston Taylor at Paris Hill

PARIS HILL — Renowned musician Livingston Taylor will perform at the 3rd Annual Paris Hill Music Festival at the Paris Hill Country Club, 455 Paris Hill Rd., on Saturday, Aug. 3. Everyone is welcome to bring lawn chairs, a blanket, and friend to enjoy his music in an amazing outdoor concert venue.

Livingston Taylor picked up his first guitar at the age of 13, beginning a 50-year career encompassing performance, songwriting, and teaching that has earned him an international reputation. Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family that includes Alex, James, Kate, and Hugh. He recorded his first record at the age of 18 and has continued ever since, creating songs including top-40 hits such as “I Will Be in Love

with You,” “I Can Dream of You,” and “Boatman,” the last two recorded by his brother James.

Livingston has never stopped performing since his early coffeehouse days, sharing the stage with the likes of Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Buffett, and Jethro Tull. He still maintains a busy international concert schedule of more than 100 shows a year.

Livingston is also a full professor at Berklee College of Music, where he has taught a Stage Performance course since 1989. He teaches invaluable lessons learned during his extensive career and the course is consistently voted the most popular at the College.

Livingston’s 50th year of making music was celebrated by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, both declaring January 18,

she struggled with lifelong illness, Cornelia’s persistence and strength brought her national fame as a journalist, hunter, and angler.

Cornelia’s passion was fly fishing, and as a journalist she promoted the Maine woods, helping to create the Maine Guide program and receiving the first Maine Guide badge. She became known as “Fly Rod” and defied expectations by boldly breaking into the mostly male world of fishing and hunting. Though based on facts, this book, richly-illustrated by Portland multimedia artist Heidi Kendrick, is a fictional account faithful to Cornelia’s spirit and was produced entirely in Maine.

Join others interested in the self expression that holds our lives and legacies at a summer writing workshop at the library on Wednesday, Aug. 7, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. This is a gift of time to write together

Participants will listen with respect to the stories, poems, essays, and letters that wait within for an invitation to be written and shared. Please bring something to write on and come with and a sense of exploration. All potential and seasoned writers welcome!

This workshop is facilitated by longtime library patron, Mary Winsky, a writer and former English teacher, staff developer, and change agent.

She has taught composition and literature at high school, college, and graduate levels and led numerous writing workshops for adults.

This is her 27th summer in Casco.

Tales of Tangled Lives:

Fairs & Festivals

Native People and English Settlers

HIRAM — What kinds of stories shaped New England identities in the 17th and 18th centuries? On Saturday, Aug. 10, storyteller Jo Radner will give listeners a glimpse into that world with her performance of “Tangled Lives: Native People and English Settlers in Colonial New England” at the Hiram Community Center, 14 Historical Ridge in Hiram.

“Tangled Lives” blends and juxtaposes material from Abenaki and English tradition, tracing some of the intertwined threads in the relationships between English settlers and Native

peoples as they contested the “middle ground” — land to which each group felt entitled, land on which different cultures clashed, mingled, and merged. The stories reveal the way English and Native people in this region saw one another as defenders and trespassers, pursuers and refugees, relatives and aliens, kind neighbors and ruthless destroyers.

Radner presents stories gleaned from research and from the written memoirs of two families who arrived in Massachusetts in 1635, and migrated over time to settle the new towns of Haverhill,

Casco Days 4-Miler

Kelly fights off teen challenges CASCO — New faces were first across the finish line at the Casco Days 4-Miler Saturday morning.

William Kelly, 24, won here for the first time with a time of 22 minutes, 16 seconds holding off a spirited charge by 16-year-old Ben Moseman of Purcellville, Va., who crossed the finish line in 22:19. Carson Bottamley, 17, of Hollis, N.H., was third in 22:30.

Grace Moses, 21, of Great Falls, Va., was the first female finisher, breaking the banner in 25:55, good for 14th overall.

There was a bit of a lull before the next woman crossed the finish line as Karyn Bristol, 55, of Otisfield, checked in at 29:13 for 42nd overall.

Neither winning times were records. Richard Klauber set the time to beat in 2009 at 20 minutes, 32 seconds. The fastest female time is 23:46 set by Erin Flynn in 2015.

Despite an anticipated hot morning, the race turnout was solid with a total of 469 finishers. There were 134 camp finishers. Breakdown by camp: Arcadia in Casco 37, Agawam in Raymond 35, Timanous in Raymond 34, Wohelo in Raymond 12, O-At-Ka in Sebago 10, Laurel FINISHING is always something to celebrate, especially on a hot morning after running four miles.

The annual Club Championship is on tap for this Saturday and Sunday with a Medal/Stroke play format to determine the winners in three flights separated by handicap. The top flight will be played from the “tips” of the blue tee boxes. Weather is expected to be near perfect for the event. Signups for each flight are at the counter in the clubhouse. There is no

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE? THE BRIDGTON NEWS

Regional sports reason not to try your luck in one of these flights. Cliff Walker and Tyler Walker have most recently won the championship flight in successive years and both figure to be strong contenders to keep the hardware in the family while many other players hope to break through with dreams of their own. Good luck to all competitors.

The President’s Cup is down to four finalists and should be wrapping up this match play championship in the coming weeks, as well.

Lastly, a reminder to pay your dues and square up your tab at the club as Len “the Bagman” Carsley has nearly run out of patience and has last been seen recruiting “muscle” on the practice green. Busted knees help no one’s game at this time of year. — Whit Lesure

Road to good summer...running & reading Team Long Run’s first “Roads Scholars” program is underway in Bridgton this summer. TLR has partnered with the Bridgton Public Library, Bridgton Recreation Department and Bridgton Books to engage area kids in reading and running over the summer.

“Roads Scholars” participants meet each week to go for a run together in Pondicherry Park, then have refreshments at the library, and check out books for the upcoming week.

When the kids are on their own, they are encouraged to run and read, and track their

miles and pages on a log sheet. The kids who run the most miles each week receive an award t-shirt, while the kids who read the most pages receive a gift certificate to Bridgton Books.

The recent winner in both running and reading were Brady Chalmers, Britta Chalmers and Peter Hawker.

At the end of the summer, the participant who has run the most miles will receive a FitBit as a prize.

“We love working with kids during the school year and needed to find a way to stay in touch during the summer,” Team Long Run found-

er Chuck Wilcoxen said.

“Roads Scholars gives us a chance to encourage them to stay active in a positive, social setting and encourage them to keep reading over the summer! Reading and running have a lot in common, and both are so important in helping kids develop great habits that make life happier, healthier and more productive.”

Team Long Run is a Bridgton-based nonprofit that connects kids with running. For more information, visit www.teamlongrun.org or e-mail Chuck directly at chuck@teamlongrun.org

OXFORD — The entry list for the most prestigious asphalt short track race in America reached a major milestone Tuesday.

With just under a month to go before the green flag drops, there are now 50 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model entries for the 46th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway, Aug. 23–25.

Multi-time Oxford Plains Speedway track champion, Jeff Taylor, of Farmington officially became the 50th entrant for the 250.

Competitors will have the opportunity to race for one of the richest winner’s purses in asphalt short track racing, with $25,000 to win,

plus an additional $25,000 in lap leader money. Last year’s winner, Bubba Pollard of Senoia, Ga., took home over $28,000 for his efforts in becoming the first southern driver to win the Oxford 250 since 1983.

This year’s entry lists features some of the best short track racers in North America, including former Oxford 250 winners, Mike and Ben Rowe, Travis Benjamin, Joey Polewarcyzk, Curtis Gerry, Bubba Pollard, and Scott Robbins. Former PASS champions, Johnny Clark, DJ Shaw, and Cassius Clark have also entered, along with defending PASS National champion, Derek

Griffith and 2019 national title contenders Mike Hopkins, Ray Christian, III, and Jake Johnson. The Canadian Maritimes are also being represented by Cole Butcher and Ashton Tucker, while Northwest racing legend Garrett Evans will be returning to make his second attempt at the 250.

“The Road To The Oxford 250” program will be concluding in the next few weeks. Racers have the opportunity to get locked into the 46th Annual Oxford 250 over the next two weekends with the final two events in the program scheduled for Spud Speedway and Speedway 51.

‘250’ field takes shape

Following Derek Griffith’s win at White Mountain Motorsports Park last weekend, the race for the PASS North title has again tightened. While Center Conway, N.H.’s DJ Shaw continues to lead the standings, the gap between the top six in points has shrunk to less than 100 markers. And, Shaw now leads Garrett Hall by just five points heading to the Firecracker 200 at Spud Speedway.

Entry forms for the 46thAnnual Oxford 250 are available at ProAllStarsSeries.com.

Racing Recap Curtis Gerry of Waterboro topped the field in the late models this past weekend during the Oxford Championship Series, winning his third race of the season along with extending his points lead.

Owen Stuart of Naples took home his sixth win of the season after a wild Rookie feature. Stuart battled and fought hard for the win, which unfortunately resulted in Brady Childs wrecking during the last lap. Dylan Cook of Minot finished in second place with Cole Binette of

Arundel taking third place.

Jeremy Turner of Norway and points leader, Brady Childs of Leeds, finished in fourth and fifth respectively.

The Oxford Championship series continues next Saturday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m.

Senior Rambles Hiking Trips & Tips

by Allen Crabtree

Mount Tremont Sawyer Pond is one of my favorite spots in the Whites – we try to hike there at least once every year. Sometimes, it is just for lunch at the Adirondack shelter and a swim in the clear waters of Sawyer Pond. Once in awhile, we’ve stayed overnight and marveled at the sun setting, bathing Owls Cliff and Mount Tremont across the pond in alpenglow. Then in the morning, the sun coming up over these two peaks was always spectacular.

We often thought about climbing Mount Tremont to see what Sawyer Pond would look like from its summit, and nine Denmark Mountain Hikers did just that on Friday, June 28, 2019. It was a picture-perfect day with blue skies.

The AMC White Mountain Guide calls Mount Tremont an “infrequently-climbed peak,” but the mountain is listed as number 18 on the “52 with a View” list of mountains.

The nicely-wooded Mount Tremont trail leaves Route 302 in Crawford Notch and follows Stony Brook. After recent rains, the brook was pretty full and cascaded over rocks on the hike. The trail starts out gradually, but begins a steady climb, ending with several steeper switchbacks. The moss-covered rocks near the summit are beautiful.

It took the group about three hours to reach the summit, but once there the group enjoyed beautiful views of Sawyer Pond

and Owls Cliff. The group relaxed on the rocks and soaked in the views. It was interesting to talk with another hiker, who was using a ham radio to contact hikers on other peaks.

Everyone headed down at 12:50, making good time, and finished at 2:50. It was a fun group and a great day!

In winter, there is an obscure ice climbing area on the west side of Mt. Tremont’s northern ridge.

One of them, Xanadu Falls, is a 3-pitch WI2/3 in an aesthetic setting.

I’ve not been able to find the origin of Mount Tremont in any of my guides and history books of the White Mountains.

Usually, I can find out who the peak was named for – some notable naturalist, geologist, statesman or artist, but not for Tremont. It is possible that the mountain is named for John Charles Fremont (Jan. 21, 1813 – July 13, 1890), who was an American explorer, politician and soldier.

Fremont was the first candidate of the Republican Party for the office of President of the United States. During the 1840s, he led five expeditions into the American West, and earned the nickname “The Pathfinder.” I have not been able to confirm or deny that Fremont was the person the mountain was named after and would welcome anyone who can help me out. Thank you.

Messing with Elections — Theirs and Ours

One set of facts finds agreement among the opinions of most commentators on the Russian scheme to interfere in our 2016 elections. It seems pretty clear that Moscow really didn’t want to see their harsh critic Hillary Clinton take charge in Washington. They much preferred to deal with friendlier candidate Donald Trump so they acted to influence the vote. To what extent is the debatable question.

I know, I know. Some of you readers dispute that our president was Moscow’s man. Let it pass, for that is not the subject I wish to discuss. Rather, I wish to look at the lack of introspection on the part of American media and pundits of whatever persuasion. Have you read any discussion of past initiatives of our intelligence agencies to control the outcome of supposedly democratic elections overseas?

If their memories worked hard at summoning up the past, the media might recall that the USA was almost openly instrumental in shaping the outcome of the early post-World War II elections in Italy. The Communist Party, which had led the most effective resistance to Fascist leader Mussolini, was poised to claim victory, but a huge campaign of American cash incentives gave supremacy instead to the pro-American Christian Democrats. In effect, we bought the election.

What, we might ask, is the difference between the 1940s and the 2016 vote? The answer is who is the malefactor. If we distorted the outcome of a vote as we did elsewhere in Europe — e.g. in Greece — or in Iran or Guatemala — it somehow doesn’t merit discussion or even mention. The Russians are persuaded that Washington messed around in their internal affairs to preserve Yeltsin and to threaten Putin.

What’s the difference between the integrity of their vote and ours?

There is an important lesson to be learned here, though it doesn’t make it below the fold on the inside pages of national newspapers. That is, when one side adopts a weapon or practice, the other side follows with equal or greater use of the same option. Poison gas was used by one side in World War I and copied by the other side. No one employed it in World War II and no one could be a follower. Hence, no gas attacks.

We — our press, pundits, and government — complain that our private and official entities are under cyber attack from Iran, North Korea, Russia and maybe others. We fail somehow to acknowledge that we have already fired the first shots in a cyber war against those nations. We are victims, but only after having assaulted others first.

These observations lead me to another, equally dubious generalization: we often — too often—use a weapon or a technique because we can. Because we have the ability to engage in cyber warfare, we engage in it without giving a thought to the reaction we may provoke. If we took into account the damage we may be stimulating with short-sighted actions, we would be a lot more conservative (in the true sense of the term) in our interactions with the world.

Or so I would hope. (Of course, we are not always the first to employ a new weapon or technique. Sometimes a small, capable country punching above its weight will sink its small talons into a great power it figures is paralyzed for some reason and cannot react.)

Medicare Nugget: Durable equipment

By Stan Cohen Durable medical equipment like walkers, wheelchairs, power scooters, hospital beds, diabetes self-testing equipment, home oxygen equipment and certain nebulizers, are covered under Medicare Part B. The usual co-pays apply unless they are covered by a Medicare Supplement plan. To be covered, however, they must be provided by a Medicare-approved supplier.

In most cases, items used for convenience rather than medical necessity aren’t covered under Medicare. Also, not covered are medical supplies, such as catheters, that are disposable and thrown away after use. An exception to this rule is that Part B does cover lancets and test strips for diabetes.

Another exception is that if you qualify for Medicarecovered home health care, certain disposable items, such as intravenous supplies, gauze or catheters may be covered.

Just who are the real racists?

Has Democrat identity politics so saturated our culture that we must all think our race the primary determinant of who we are? It sure seems that way when listening to what passes for political discourse these days.

It’s been a long time — so long I cannot remember the last time it bothered me when someone called me a racist. It did sting the first few times and it put me on the defensive.

I felt compelled to refute the charge, but I don’t anymore.

The accusations are most often in anonymous comments on my website, but also in signed letters to the editor in newspapers carrying my column.

When on my Left & Right TV show, one leftist opponent habitually calls Republican policies or individuals racist, I ask for specific evidence. His answers indicate he doesn’t know what racism actually is. Dictionary.com defines it as: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.

Early charges of racism against me came after I wrote columns arguing against Affirmative Action policies enforced by the federal government. According to HG.org Legal Resources: The purpose of affirmative action is to promote social equality through the preferential treatment of socioeco-

nomically disadvantaged people.

My point was that in order to grant preferential treatment to historically disadvantaged groups like blacks and women in hiring, college admissions, and granting of government contracts, other groups like white men must necessarily be passed over. That, of course, requires bona fide racial and sexual discrimination.

There can be no argument that so-called “affirmative action” discriminates against white men. College admission policies discriminate against Asian men and women as well as whites, as evidenced in recent lawsuits against Harvard University by Asian students who have been denied admission on the basis of race. Evidence indicates other Ivy League colleges do the same.

Increasing Access to High-Speed Internet to those in Rural Maine

When Americans first began using the Internet a quarter century ago, they typically accessed online content using home phone lines via modems capable of downloading data at speeds too slow even to support MP3-quality streaming music.

Today’s broadband service can be nearly 500 times faster — Americans not only can watch their favorite movies on demand in the comfort of their very own living rooms, but also participate in the global economy while working from home, upgrade their skills through online education, stay connected to their families as they age in place, and access health care through advances in telemedicine.

While the increase in broadband speeds has been dramatic and is encouraging, these numbers mask a disparity between urban and rural Americans. Nearly all Americans living in urban areas have access to the Internet at speeds that meet the Federal Communication Commission’s broadband threshold, while one-in-four rural Americans do not.

In order to help ensure that rural Americans have access to broadband services at speeds they need to fully participate in the benefits of our modern society and economy, I have introduced the bipartisan American Broadband Buildout Act. This legislation would help close the “digital divide” between urban and rural America by directing the FCC to provide up to $5 billion in matching grants to assist states and state-approved entities in building “last-mile” infrastruc-

Views from Senate

by Susan Collins United States Senator ture — the final link to the consumer —to bring high-speed broadband directly to homes and businesses in areas that lack it.

One broadband application that holds special promise for rural America is telemedicine. As a native of Aroostook County, I know how important health care is to the vitality, and even the survival, of rural communities. Often, these communities struggle to attract and retain the physicians that they need to ensure access to quality care. Broadband can help bridge the gap by enabling innovative health care delivery in these rural communities.

In an example described to me in a recent letter, hospice workers at Northern Light Homecare, which has six homecare and hospice locations in Maine, were able to use the Internet and video technology to help support a patient livINTERNET, Page 2D “Thank You” to everyone who came out to help organize, sort books, fill boxes with books, move boxes to the Bridgton Library patio, utilize forgotten muscles to accomplish all these tasks, help set up the tables, help at the checkout tables, and help pack up the much fewer boxes and take them back to The Book Shed.

Through the intense heat that exhausted everyone, you all prevailed! We had a very successful annual book sale.

To the many generous people of our community, who donated books throughout the year — we thank you. To the many who came out into an extremely hot day — we thank you.

To The Bridgton News and Perri Black, who helped write the rain date, and rain date copy to inform all of you that our original date didn’t happen, but we set two rain dates

“just in case.” We couldn’t have done it without an amazing community and the many volunteers who helped organize before the book sale day.

For those who missed the sale, weather permitting, we will be opening The Book Shed on various Saturdays. Watch for the dates to be announced, and for our Book Sale banner to go up.

The Friends of the Bridgton Library are looking for more “friends.”

Come to our next Friends’ meeting on Saturday, Sept.

14, at 9:30 a.m. at the library. Bring your ideas for what you may like our library to bring to the Bridgton Library.

Thank you, one and all, and don’t stop reading (or listening to books)!

Coyotes — Nature’s Tick Control

by Lega Medcalf Predators, such as coyotes, are part of a healthy ecosystem and are especially beneficial because they control the population of rodents and therefore the population of ticks. Data from long-term Lyme disease studies in both the United States and Europe shows that the risk of contracting Lyme disease is greater where there is a high mouse population coupled with a low predator population. In other words, predators slow the spread of Lyme, anaplasmosis, and the myriad of other diseases that are spread by ticks because they eat mice, the primary carriers of ticks.

barbaric blood sports and, like dogfighting and cockfighting, need to be outlawed. On one website, a Maine guide advertises that “We’ve spent over 19 years trapping, calling, baiting, and chasing the coyote. Yet, every time we get one, that same thrill of excitement returns. One of the most effective ways we have found to repeatedly harvest the coyote is over bait at night.”

The thrill of killing (“harvesting” is misleading) was made apparent to us while snowmobiling. Our group came across a horrific scene of more than 70 coyote carcasses that had been strung up as trophies across tall wooden poles. Nearby, in the snow, tethered by short chains to their doghouses were about two dozen short-haired hounds surrounded by their feces. This disgusting display opened our eyes to the other side of a very demented mentality that is prevalent in some parts of Maine and that is also sanctioned by the MDIF&W. Needless to say, the conditions that the hounds lived under were also appalling and during a phone call to the local animal control officer I was told that there was nothing he could do about the situation because it met Maine’s minimum outdoor standards of shelter — something else that needs to be addressed.

Killing for sustenance is ethical and acceptable but killing for the “thrill” is pathologically twisted and damages the reputation of the MDIF&W. Coyote killing contests are especially prevalent in Aroostook and Penobscot counties. These contests, which sometimes include a children’s division, offer cash and prizes to the participants who kill the most or largest coyotes. This is not the responsible and science-based stewardship that MDIF&W communicates to the general public. Rather, it is placation for special interest groups that see any changes in hunting regulations as an attack on “Maine’s heritage of hunting” and the start down “the slippery slope of gun control.”

Killing-for-thrills is not only perverted but also misguided because studies of coyote behavior show that their populations are regulated when left alone. Coyotes live in highly social family packs. The monogamous alpha male of the pack breeds with just one alpha female who then gives birth to the only litter of pups. The other females and younger males are referred to as being “behaviorally sterile” and help in caring for the pups. When an alpha male is killed, a phenomenon referred to as “compensatory breeding” occurs and the younger subordinate males mate with females and many more pups are born.

Conflicts with coyotes due to habitat loss and the attraction of food or garbage left outside can create problems.

Coyotes that are fed can lose their natural fear of humans, but coexistence is possible and there are many practical measures available online. In fact, open-minded ranchers, who value rodent control, have found that using nonlethal and nonpoisonous methods of protecting livestock can be very effective. And, is it not our responsibility to keep small pets under our direct supervision?

Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Vermont have all recently passed laws to ban coyote-killing contests.

Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife should change its mindset and acknowledge the important role that coyotes have in our state and, at the very least, support a ban on killing contests. Coyotes are nature’s tick control, a tick control that is effective and nontoxic. Let’s value the coyote’s place in the ecosystem and ignore the hysteria that some hunting communities stir up to scare the public.

High-speed Internet (Continued from Page 1D) ing on an island off the coast of Maine — not far as the seagull flies, but hours away in travel time. The video enabled the hospice nurses to monitor the patient’s symptoms and provide emotional support to her family. As the author of that letter, Lisa Harvey-McPherson, RN, put it: “Our hospice team could be doing so much more with video and tele-monitoring technologies if Maine had better connectivity.”

The American Broadband Buildout Act would require that projects receiving funding must be located in “unserved” areas, where broadband is unavailable at speeds that meet the FCC’s standard. Narrowing the

focus to these areas will ensure that the money goes where it is needed most and will also protect against “overbuilding” where broadband infrastructure is already in place.

My bill also would require that this federal funding be matched through publicprivate partnerships between the broadband service provider and the state in which the infrastructure project will be built. This means that state, private sector partners, and the federal government will have a shared commitment, ensuring that projects will be well thought-out and designed to be sustainable.

In addition, funded projects must be designed to be “future proof,” meaning that the infrastructure installed must be capable of delivering higher speeds as broadband accelerates in the future.

This will ensure that federal tax dollars are used to help build a network that serves rural Americans now and in the future without having to rebuild it every time technology advances.

Finally, the broadband buildout supported by the bill will help attract employers to rural parts of the country where broadband services are lacking yet are essential for businesses’ success.

Rural Americans deserve to enjoy the benefits of highspeed Internet in the same way that urban Americans do. The American Broadband Buildout Act would help to bridge this digital divide by funding broadband where it is needed most and giving a real boost to job creation, education, and health care in rural regions here in Maine and throughout America.

Opinions Recommitting to making our children a top priority in Maine

In my Inaugural Address, I made a promise to the people of Maine. I said, “There is no higher priority than our children, and with so many young people at Long Creek, with children waiting for critical mental health services, and some even losing their lives to violence in their own homes, it is high time we put children’s health and safety first. I am starting with one simple step — calling together the Children’s Cabinet for the first time in years to tackle these issues.”

I kept that promise and I officially reconvened the Maine Children’s Cabinet, with our new cabinet members of course, for the first time in almost a decade.

Governor Angus King founded the Children’s Cabinet in 1996 as a forum for government agencies to collaborate on good policy for Maine children and youth and the Legislature enacted it into Maine law in 2001. In keeping with its lofty mission, the Children’s Cabinet was formed of the Commissioners of the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, Public Safety, and Corrections, in addition to the governor’s office and various staffs. The Children’s Cabinet began its work with four measures of success in mind: that Maine children succeed in school, that our youth are

The real racists?

(Continued from Page 1D) using SAT scores to measure advantages and disadvantages of applicants according to their race. It was summed up by a college admission specialist named Ann Lee who said: African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 [SAT] points. Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points. Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission.

It’s the ultimate irony that Asians and whites who argue against such racially discriminatory policies are the ones accused of racism. Who is making these racist accusations?

New York Times columnist David Brooks last week claimed that for the past twenty years: “…white educated Democrats have moved left is true, but it’s not the essential truth. The bigger truth is that this segment is now more likely to see politics through a racial lens. Racial equity has become the prism through which many in this group see a range of other issues.”

While I find myself agreeing with Brooks less and less lately, I’m with him on much of what he says in this column. Charges of “racism” hurled against me for more than 25 years have nearly always come from educated white liberals. Though many are still impressed by them, I’ve learned that college degrees do not prove intelligence, and I believe educated liberals yell “racism” when they run out of logical arguments. Another driving force behind accusations of racism is “white guilt,” especially as described by Shelby Steele in his 2006 book by that name. Educated white liberals are terrified that anyone may think them racist, so they bend over backwards to forestall any such possibility.

As Brooks put it last week: “…if you’re a rich white child of privilege you have to go to extraordinary lengths to prove you’re one of the good children of privilege and not one of the bad ones. In this take, white progressives don noble clothing to make themselves feel good…”

Are educated white liberals signaling their virtue when calling the rest of us racist? It was less than three years ago that candidate Hillary Clinton labeled half of Trump supporters racist. Compared to today’s far-left Democrat candidates she was a moderate. It’s Tuesday as I write this and I expect charges of racism against the president and his supporters to dominate tonight’s Democrat debate.

Our Supreme Court recently forbade the 2020 U.S. Census to ask people if they’re citizens of the United States, but has no problem with questions about race — for which there are over a dozen possible categories. Even the United States government is officially more concerned about its people’s race than their citizenship. What kind of country have we become?

prepared to enter the workforce, that families are living safe and healthy lives, and that Maine communities are keeping children and families at the heart of all their decisions.

The last time the Cabinet met in 2010, it submitted a report summarizing its work to the transition team of the then-incoming administration. Since its inception, the Cabinet had achieved remarkable success towards its goals. In its report, the Cabinet also outlined areas where it had fallen short and where it hoped the next Children’s Cabinet would succeed.

In its goal of ensuring every Maine child succeeds in

August 1, 2019, The Bridgton News, Page 3D school, the Children’s Cabinet urged state government to focus on reducing youth drop out, recidivism, and incarceration rates. The Cabinet also recommended that future members would lead in expanding quality and accessible early child care and education. At the time, 46 percent of all Maine preschoolers were entering school not meeting school readiness standards. That is not to mention the stark childhood poverty rates. Back in 2010, 37 towns of the top 50 with the highest poverty rates in New England were located in Maine.

So, while we have made some progress, almost a decade since those challenges were issued by the former Children’s Cabinet has gone by with no focused, substantial state action to improve the life of children in Maine. Now, one in six Maine children still lives in poverty. Now, the number of children suffering substantiated child abuse is up 25 percent just from 2017 to 2018. And, while all of this is alarming to me, both as a mother and grandmother and your governor — I am deeply concerned about the 50 percent increase over the last five years in child and teen suicide in Maine. Those are kids ages 10 to 19.

We’ve got to act. We are recommitting our state government to making our children a top priority and we’ve set two key goals for the Children’s Cabinet to work on over the next few years.

First, creating a comprehensive early child care and early education system in Maine that targets kids RECOMMITTING, Page 5D

Alayne was dedicated to her community, volunteering throughout the years to make the lives of others better. She belonged to the American Legion and Fryeburg Fire Department Auxiliaries, volunteered with Fryeburg New Church and a community thrift store. She was very proud to be a charter member or Fryeburg Rescue, serving on both Fryeburg Rescue and Kimball’s Ambulance Service for many years.

Anyone who knew Alayne knew how much she loved dogs, how she always made them part of her family. Alayne was always attuned to nature, knowing the seasons for all wild plants and enjoying the wildlife around her home, especially the birds and deer.

She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Roland Wiley; her sister, Dusti Faucher of Florida; her son, Rex Wiley of Fryeburg; her daughter, Christine Knowlton of Florida; her stepdaughter, Lorene Curran of Lovell; her nine grandchildren; cousins, greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Fontina, Fennel and Onion Pizza Fennel seems to baffle most of our CSA members and market customers, but everything you need to know about fennel is quite simple: caramelize the bulbs like you would onions, then eat it on everything! Burger toppings, pizza toppings, tossed with good pasta. Mix in the fronds for some extra flavor. I believe fennel is one of the most perfect vegetables out there. If you like the flavor of licorice, then try it raw. Thinly-sliced or shredded in a salad it is delicious. If you hate the taste of licorice, then cook it — it will become a sweet and savory masterpiece without the slightest hint of licorice. Truly, when folks ask which is my favorite vegetable that we grow, my answer is always fennel. As I once heard a famous chef say, fennel is the most versatile vegetable on the planet. Try it!

Fontina, Fennel, and Onion Pizza from Gina Hancock of Hancock Family Farm

Cooking through Cancer Treatment

1 ½ cups chopped fennel and 1 ½ cups chopped white onions cooked slowly in a skillet with a bit of olive oil until they are caramelized 4 ounces shredded fontina cheese (or cheese of choice) Fennel fronds Pizza dough Herb oil Coarse salt and ground pepper Directions for cooking this on the grill are below, but you can also make the pizza in your oven.

1. Set up a grill with heat source (coals or gas) on one side medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the hot grill.

2. On a lightly-floured work surface, stretch or roll one piece of basic homemade pizza dough or 4 ounces of storebought dough into a 10-inch-long oval or other desired shape. Brush one side lightly with herb oil or olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Using your hands, place dough, oiled side down, directly over heat source. Brush it with herb oil or olive oil and cook until the underside is lightly charred and bubbles form all over the top, 1 to 2 minutes. With tongs, flip dough and cook until lightly-charred, another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide dough to cooler side of grill.

4. Top dough with caramelized fennel, cheese, and fennel fronds; cover grill. Cook until cheese melts and toppings are heated through, 2 to 5 minutes. Then dig in!

DENMARK — The Denmark Arts Center is pleased to present a training course in Reiki taught by Reiki Master, teacher, and lightworker Kelly Treece.

Reiki is a holistic approach using life force energy to effect healing levels. Kelly uses the traditional Usui Japanese teachings in this course.

The course starts with three classes of Reiki I with Introduction to Energy Balancing on Monday, Aug. 12., from 6:30 to 9 p.m.; Thursday, Aug. 15 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; and Monday, Aug. 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The focus of Reiki I is self-healing, known as the physical level, working through your own obsta-

cles. First, participants will use the positive energies of Reiki to clear blockages and to rid themselves of their own obstacles, then they will work in preparation to help others. Level one covers hand placements in Reiki as well as its history and how it came to be. Students will receive the first of two attunements, the Reiki I Study Materials, and a certificate of completion. Intro Essential Energy Balancing is a process of total healing. This course teaches easy self-healing methods that change suffering into wellness and inner peace. This course is also an introduction into meditation that will lead you into your energy balance to stay centered.

Reiki II with Energy Balancing is the five-class second part to this course.

Classes are Monday, Sept. 9; Thursday, Sept. 12; Monday, Sept. 16; Thursday, Sept.

19; and Saturday, Sept. 21.

All classes run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. except the final class, which is from10 to 11:30 a.m. Reiki II is distance healing; at this level students will receive the second Attunement, learn names and pronunciations of the Reiki symbols, the meanings (intentions) of each symbol, draw them, and understand their power.

Learn step-by-step using the symbols to send distant healing and proper placement of the hands.

The course will be mainly hands-on training to help

students increase their energy, give them confidence, and provide assurance of proper hand placement. A Reiki workbook is included and a Reiki II certificate will be given on completion of the course.

Students who complete this course will be able to use Reiki in everyday life on themselves, in business, on animals, and on other people.

The cost for the complete 16-hour course (parts I and II) is $325. Register online at denmarkarts.org/events The Denmark Arts Center is located at 50 West Main St. in Denmark. To register for this course or find more information visit www.DenmarkArts.org/ events or call 452-2412.

Those who are interested in learning more can join Jon for two consecutive Saturdays for Oil Painting & the Masters Class on Aug. 10 and 17. Jon will use modern materials to bring students step-by-step through a painting process employed by

masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Ruisdael.

Students will learn important technical rules for archival permanence, from beginning surface preparation to the final varnish, as well as some color theory and helpful time-saving tricks. At the beginning of each class Jon will demonstrate all that will be covered for that day. The students will finish the class with their own completed painting and a good understanding of how to use this technique for their own personal expression.

M&D auditions for ‘Night Mother

Upcoming SRT events in August

BAR MILLS — The Saco River Theatre in Bar Mills is pleased once again to present David Mallett after his unforgettable sold-out show last year. David is one of America’s true original troubadours. In a career spanning four decades, he has recorded 14 albums, had several hundred covers of his songs including the American folk classic, Garden Song, and performed in clubs, concert halls, and festivals across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Known for his carefully written, poetic songs, his body of work has provided material for an eclectic list of artists that includes Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger, Hal Ketchum, Emmylou Harris, John Denver, and The Muppets. David will perform at the SRT on Friday, Aug. 2, at 7:30 p.m. Early reservations are recommended as this show is likely to sell out quickly!

On Sunday, Aug. 4, at 3 p.m.,, The Millay Sisters Cabaret, starring Rachel Murdy and Margi Sharp Douglas, will be staged at the SRT’s Old White Church, 15 Salmon Falls Rd. in Bar Mills. This rousing and inspiring performance presents the story of the girl poet who became an American icon, as seen through the eyes of her fierce and charming younger sister Norma, the cabaret hostess. Using Millay’s transcendent poetry, her personal letters, and popular songs of the period, the cabaret depicts the deep love between the sisters, gives voice to the poet’s playfulness and sensual intelligence, and celebrates her artistic genius.

Longtime professional actors and singers Rachel Murdy and Margi Sharp Douglas conceived and created The Millay Sisters Cabaret twelve years ago to keep

NORTH CONWAY, N.H. — M&D at Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse will be holding open auditions for ‘Night Mother by Marsha Norman, as directed by Melissa O’Neil, on Sunday, Aug. 4, and Monday, Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. at 2760 White Mountain Highway in North Conway, N.H. The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house on an isolated country road, which is shared

by Jessie and her mother.

Jessie’s father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne’erdo-well; her last job didn’t work out and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins, Jessie asks for her father’s

service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first, her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build.

Two female roles are available: Jessie Cates, a suicidal woman on the verge of middle age, and Thelma Cates, nearly 60, a woman who views things as being only as she sees them.

Performance dates for ‘Night Mother are Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 26 through Oct. 6.

“Maine Forest Interior II” by Jon Allan Marshall

Denmark landscapes DENMARK — On Saturday, Aug. 3, the Denmark Arts Center presents the opening of Denmark Landscapes, an exhibition of paintings by Jon Allan Marshall, from 12 to 2 p.m.

The reception for the artist, with beverages and food from Gastropub, is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

Join the DAC to celebrate 25 years since Jon Allan Marshall was the Artist in Residence. Jon’s work is “classical realism inspired by 17th century Dutch masters and the Hudson River School.” His work begins with small sketches and photos, and if those ideas work themselves into thoughts of a series, or they draw him to explore a larger, more finished format, Jon revisits the site to take in more detailed information.
