Safety assistant hired

The Town of Bridgton has named Terri Stone of Naples as its first Public Safety administrative assistant.

The new position was created because the town’s local dispatch services have been transferred to the Cumberland County Regional Communications Center in Windham.

Stone will begin her new duties today (Sept. 29).

Chief of Police Kevin Schofield formally introduced Stone, at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Bridgton Board of Selectmen, saying she had been selected from a field of over 35 applicants.

“She’ll be the new face of the (Police and Fire) departments, Monday through Friday,” Chief Schofield said of Stone.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Terri.”

Stone worked as a paralegal in Portland for 12 years, prior to taking this position, the police chief said.

“She comes armed with an Associate’s degree from Champlain College and has a lot of legal experience,” said Chief Schofield.

Stone previously worked in the field of Public Safety in Vermont as an administrative assistant and dispatcher, according to Schofield.

Officials support budget committee

The Bridgton Board of Selectmen voted unanimously Tuesday night to appoint a Budget Committee to advise them and make recommendations throughout the Fiscal Year 2013 budget formulation process.

“I wholeheartedly believe we should have a Budget Committee,” Selectman Doug Taft said, in making the motion to appoint a committee.

Selectman Taft said he attended all but two of the FY 2012 Bridgton Budget Committee meetings, saying, “I found their meetings to be invaluable to me and to my understanding of where department heads are (in making their budget recommendations to the selectmen).”

“I agree with Doug,” Selectman Paul Hoyt stated. “I think it’s very valuable, and like the other committees (the selectmen appoint), we should have a specific charge for them.”

“I don’t have a problem with that — I think they have good ideas,” said Selectman Woody Woodward. “They did give us good information to look at and discuss and to ponder.”

Selectman Bernie King, who was a member of the FY 2012 Budget Committee before being elected to his current post in June, was not present at the Sept. 27 selectmen’s meeting.

“We’ll come up with that charge and we will advertise,” for interested citizens to serve on the Budget Committee, Selectmen Chairman Arthur Triglione Sr. said.

Town Manager Mitch Berkowitz first suggested having a maximum of seven members on the Bridgton Budget Committee, but said maybe nine members “would be better,” due to absenteeism at some meetings.

“I think we should cut it off at nine (members),” said Selectman Taft.

BIG CONSTRUCTION PUSH — These are busy times at the Naples Causeway as construction of a new bridge and paving of Route 302 continue. Craig Hurd (above), resident engineer

for the Maine Department of Transportation’s $8.95-million project, says more paving will be done after the Fryeburg Fair.

Nose to the grindstone

Crews pave Route 302 for Fair traffic

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — This week, the most obvious construction activity took place on the 2,000-foot stretch of dirt road between Freedom Café and the Naples Village Green.

That section of Route 302 needed to be paved before taking on the tires of the Fryeburg Fair traffic in early October, according to Craig Hurd, of the Maine State Transportation Department (MDOT.) “We pushed to get it paved before the fair because if we don’t it could be a mess,” Hurd said.

It is more difficult to maintain a dirt road when it rains, he said. The layer of pavement will also keep down the dust

— one of the biggest complaints he hears.

Vehicles headed to the Fryeburg Fair won’t have to bounce along a section of dirt road.

Paving crews from the subcontractor Rampart Bituminous LLC blocked one lane of traffic on Monday and Tuesday as a bulldozer grated the road in preparation for the paving job.

Hurd explained that a global positioning system (GPS) mounted on the front of the bulldozer tells an on-board computer at what level the blade needs to be for each pass.

“It’s really amazing technology,” he said.

Already, crews laid and buried 2,000 feet of underground water pipes to the

Naples Fire Station.

“They finished that in two weeks,” he said, adding the pipes are located six feet underground in the middle of Route 302.

On Wednesday, the crews paved one lane, let it cool, re-routed traffic there, and paved the other lane, he said.

“After the fair, we’ll add another 1 1/2 inches of pavement and finish the shoulders,” Hurd said.

Hurd is the resident engineer for MDOT’s $8.95-million project to build the Bay of Naples Bridge, renovate the Causeway and improve Route 302 by paving and putting in crosswalks.

Town, unions reach new contract

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer Bridgton police and public works employees have a new three-year contract in place, after the Bridgton Board of Selectmen voted to accept the terms reached in negotiations that took place over the past several months.

Selectmen Arthur Triglione Sr., Paul Hoyt, Doug Taft and Woody Woodward voted unanimously to accept the terms of both contracts. Selectman Bernie King was not able to attend the board’s meeting Sept.

27.

“It appears we have agreement from all parties related

to the Police Department,” Bridgton Town Manager Mitch Berkowitz told selectmen and the public, at Tuesday night’s selectmen’s meeting.

Public Works waiting to approve contract The Bridgton Police Department officers affected by the new contract have agreed to the terms, the town manager said Sept. 27, while Bridgton Public Works members “first want to know what the cost changes to the premiums will be before any final acceptance,” Berkowitz said.

Town employees will get same The selectmen also voted to

authorize the town manager to institute the same compensation schedule for all non-union town employees.

Selectmen Taft abstained from voting on this motion, as he has a relative who is employed by the Town of Bridgton.

Police Department contract terms The following compensation schedule will be followed for both the Bridgton Police Department union members, as well as non-union town employees. It will also be used for the Public Works employees, when they formally decide to accept the terms of the negotiated contract.

For the period beginning July 1, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2011, there will be no increase in compensation and from the period beginning July 1, 2011 and ending on June 30, 2012 there will be no increase in compensation, however, a $250 stipend will be paid to all personnel in lump sum and on June 30, 2012, there will be 12 cents added to the employees’ hourly rates of pay.

There will be a three percent increase for these same employees, for the period beginning on July 1, 2012 and ending on June 30, 2013.

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer The rumors of his leaving town are highly exaggerated.

Alan Manoian, director of Bridgton’s Office of Economic and Community Development, confirmed Tuesday he has passed up an offer he received a few months ago to take a job next month, at twice the pay, to become a commercial loan officer for a bank in Nashua, N.H. “I hope to serve the Town of Bridgton for many years to come,” Manoian said.

He admits the offer was

tempting, and that at some point he’ll have to start thinking ahead to his retirement years. But for now, there are many projects his office has embarked upon that are still in the formative stages — and to leave now would be “a dishonorable thing to do.”

There’s development of a form-based code, working with the Comprehensive Plan Committee; planning and construction of a new sidewalk system along Portland Road, working with the Maine Department of Transportation;

and redevelopment of the Bridgton Memorial School site, working with the Bridgton Economic Development Corporation; there’s updating the Comprehensive Plan and the downtown’s wastewater

disposal system, with an eye toward extending sewer lines beyond the downtown; revitalizing Pondicherry Square; there’s the Rufus Porter Museum historic restoration and downtown STAYING, Page A

Out of the running

Narrow Gauge Museum selects Gray

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer Directors of the Portland-based Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum voted Tuesday to explore options with the town of Gray, and not Bridgton, for relocating its historic rolling stock and museum.

Brian Durham, chairman of the museum’s relocation committee, phoned Bridgton Economic and Community Development Director Alan Manoian Wednesday morning with the news.

“He said they are proceeding with exploring options in Gray,” but added that “There are still a lot of issues to work out,” said Manoian, who likened the board’s choice to a typical development deal. “He said we’re putting Bridgton on the back burner, but we might be calling you back.”

Still, the news surely will come as a crushing disappointment to Return of the Rails founder Bill Shelley of Bridgton, who has spent thousands of dollars over the past decade to spark interest in bringing a Narrow Gauge presence to Bridgton.

The day before the vote, Shelley said, “If the Narrow Gauge board doesn’t

see what we have here, then they don’t deserve us.”

Durham declined further comment to The News until he had a chance to inform all four competing communities, which also included Monson and Portland. He said that the board acted on the unanimous recommendation made by the relocation committee, and directed them to begin tailoring development of their business plan, which had been more general, to now cover only the town of Gray.

Bridgton stakeholders, who met over a month ago with Durham and another Narrow Gauge official, had been critical of the museum’s lack of a business plan, saying Bridgton couldn’t embrace the proposal without one. Manoian, at selectmens’ request, had submitted a request for proposal from the museum earlier this year to be part of the competition to become the host community.

Shelley, at a previous selectmen’s meeting, had criticized Manoian for not following up with museum officials after the RFP was in. Shelley said Gray’s Town Planner, George Thebarge, had been in regular phone contact with the museum.

Manoian, stung by the charge, said

he called Thebarge and learned his follow-up calls were because Gray hadn’t yet chosen a specific site, which was the first requirement of the RFP. Bridgton’s proposal was complete, offering extensive details on its proposal to site the museum on Depot Street where the Memorial School now stands. The site is the original location of the Narrow Gauge terminal when it operated as part of the old Bridgton and Saco Railroad.

Monson, a tiny town near DoverFoxcroft, was the only other community among the four contenders where the Narrow Gauge Railroad once ran.

Having an authentic historic location was viewed as a huge plus to the museum in terms of raising money for the project through historic preservation grants.

Manoian quoted Durham as telling him, “This is not goodbye.” He said, “My gut feeling throughout this process is that Bridgton should still consider itself as a viable location for this development.”

Manoian said he wants to talk to residents to see if there’s still interest in following up the stakeholders’ forum with a second public forum on the Narrow Gauge plans.

CHANGING LOCATION — Owner Janice Shane recently changed Redneck Lounge’s marquee to reflect plans to relocate from Naples to Bridgton. On Route 11, the Redneck will be open through Saturday; and the grand reopening at The Commons Golf Facility & Driving Range is planned for midOctober.

Fundraiser for proposed dog park ‘Redneck’ says

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — If you want the best seat in the house, move the dog.

If you want a public dog park to move forward, the best seat is at Bray’s Brewpub & Eatery on Sunday.

The organizers of the proposed Naples Dog Park will hold the first fundraiser to develop the property off State Park Road into a place where local canines can safely socialize with other dogs in an enclosed area.

The fundraiser will be held at Bray’s Brewpub & Eatery this Sunday, Oct. 2 starting at 3 p.m.

“This will be a kickoff for

the proposed dog park,” Animal Control Officer Bobby Silcott said, adding the group will also be doing a pet food drive for Harvest Hills Animal Shelter.

The event will include an appearance by Harvey, the half dog-half cat mascot that delights children.

“This will be a good time with free apples and door prizes and people who love dogs,” he said. “We will be collecting money to get fundraising started.”

Some of the fundraising will be done by selling raffle tickets and auctioning off the numerous items already donated by community mem-

bers and business owners.

In recent weeks, donations have come from Moose Landing Marina, Naples Marina, Naples Golf and Country Club, Watkins Flowers, Wizard of Paws, Homespun Creations Gift Shop, Blacksmith’s Winery, Dunkin’ Donuts in Bridgton, Paris Farmers Union, Maine Blues Festival Committee, Bray’s, The Songo River Queen and the Inn at Long Lake.

Local businesswoman Vickie Toole donated 10 passes to her Zumba classes.

Lobo Embroidery dog collars will be sold with a part of the proceeds going to the dog park fund. Silcott said the collars are

high quality and made locally in Naples.

At the Naples Post Office, a fund for the dog park has been set up. People can go to the post office and make donations to the Naples Dog Park, Silcott said.

The goal of the committee is to build two fenced areas: one for small dogs and another for big dogs. In addition, a small socialization pen would allow some dogs to get used to the idea of hanging with a group of its peers before exploring the larger area, he said.

“I’ve been able to recruit someone to do drawings of the dog park,” Silcott said.

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — There was a familiar face at the local selectmen’s meeting.

Bob Caron Sr. was back on his feet and attending the Naples Board of Selectmen’s meetings before it was necessary to bring him there with the help of Skype.

Selectman Caron returned to the board table on Sept. 19, following a three-month healthrelated hiatus from attending regular meetings.

“I am grateful to be back,” Caron said during a phone interview recently. “I am grateful to the board for being so patient with me. They are a great bunch of people. And, I’m

glad I can continue serving as a selectman.”

Caron said he had a “serious staph infection and the doctors took care of it.”

“Now, I am on the right side of the bed, and getting better every day,” he said.

While recovering from the post-operation infection, Caron stayed up to speed on town

issues, and continued some of his selectman duties. Earlier this month, he resumed his involvement with the Bridge Renovation Committee, which he has served on for three years.

During the selectmen’s meeting on Sept. 19, taxes were on the agenda.

goodbye to Naples

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer NAPLES — One year after its grand opening, the Redneck Lounge is bidding goodbye to Naples and re-opening in Bridgton around mid-October.

This week, owner Janice Shane has been “as busy as a one-legged woman in a cankicking contest,” to coin a redneck saying.

Shane has been simultaneously preparing for the last weekend at the Redneck’s current spot off Route 11, and painting walls and constructing a rustic pine bar at The Commons Golf Facility & Driving Range — the future location for the eating-and-drinking establishment.

“Moving wasn’t our first option,” said Shane.

Purchasing the Naples building formerly known as “Shakers” had been discussed with the landlord in late August, she said. But, when that option was taken off the table, Shane and her husband knew it was time to relocate the business.

“We will really miss being in Naples,” she said.

The people with the Town of Naples have been great during meetings to get licenses, and fielding questions about permits, she said. The patrons who live in and around Naples have also been great, she said.

“We’ve had a really successful first year in business,” said the Shanes, who live in Harrison.

The couple has been thankful to be able to open their doors to community fundraisers. Sid Shane speaks fondly of the opportunity to give back to the community when individuals were looking for a place to hold a fundraiser, but couldn’t afford the fee other sites charged. The Redneck provided the space for free, he said.

The Shanes were also proud that they’d been able to draw local entertainment without implementing a cover charge at the door.

Saturday will be the last day for Redneck Lounge at its Naples location.

The formula for the Redneck will remain at the heart of the new business, Janice said.

“We will still focus the attention on the local community,” she said. “We cater to the locals, who live here year-round, and deal with the rough winters as well as those days it is too hot to turn on the oven and cook dinner.”

“We cater to the people who have full-time jobs, two jobs, and are in-between jobs,” she said, stressing her goal is to give those folks a place to unwind and feel appreciated.

“Whenever I serve someone a drink I say, ‘Cheers.’ I try to get all the bartenders in the habit of doing that.”

Shane added, “It’s that little something special that uplifts our customers. We plan to keep doing that.”

Selectmen inform groups how to conduct meetings Manager Mitch Berkowitz to Tuesday night’s discussion: the Community Development Committee, the Comprehensive Plan Committee, the Investment Committee, the Recycling Committee, the Wastewater Committee and the Woods Pond Level Committee.

The discussion was set to focus on each committee’s charge, mission and authority, identifying the key elements of conducting meetings, including advance posting of agendas and minimally required minutes, updates and reporting require-

Naples selectmen

(Continued from Page A) Unfortunately, one of the first orders of selectmen’s business was signing Cumberland County’s tax assessment paperwork.

“I am signing this with a reluctant hand,” Caron said as he put the pen to paper.

Naples property owners have already received their tax bills for 2011-12, board members said.

Also, the board threw unanimous support behind awarding the three-year snow removal bid to P & K Sand & Gravel, Inc. P & K was the low bidder. The Naples-based company currently supplies the town’s sandlot. For the past seven years, P & K has been responsible for removing snow from town-maintained roadways.

Unlike previous years, both roads and public parking lots were included in the bid for 2011 through 2014. However, the winning bidder will be permitted to subcontract the parking lots.

When prices for the three years were added up, there was approximately $90,000 difference between P & K and the other bidder, C. Pond Plowing, the selectmen said after calculating the numbers.

According to Selectman Rick Paraschak, residents approve the idea of regularly putting out to bid the town’s wintertime maintenance contract to get a better deal for taxpayers. He said five years is a reasonable time frame.

“You wouldn’t want to put it out to bid every year because it costs so much upfront for the company to invest in plowing equipment,” Paraschak said.

Selectman Dana Watson said because it had been seven years since the town put the contract out to bid, the prices — based on fuel costs — have gone up considerably.

In other business, selectmen commented on how the new museum building is starting to look pretty familiar.

Watson said if someone did not know the old one had been demolished, they might think they were looking at the old museum building, which is also being painted white.

Selectman Paraschak reported that the drywall is being put up and the sewer will be hooked up next. The building will house the tourist information center, some offices and museum artifacts.

Planning Board Chairman Larry Anton, who was sitting in the audience, said, “You know how I feel about the old building.

But, the new one looks great and blends in nicely with the Village Green.”

At a previous meeting, the board gave the nonprofit, Make-AWish Maine Chapter, permission to blockade parking spaces on the Causeway for the group’s event on Saturday, Sept. 24.

The chapter held its Ladies’ Motorcycle Ride for Wishes.

Then, ride participants wrapped up the afternoon with a public fundraiser on the Songo River Queen II, which stayed anchored on the Causeway.

“We will be returning after our ride. We’ll need a spot to park in front of the Queen so we can keep an eye on the bikes,” Organizer Wendy Gallant told the board.

The nonprofit wanted enough parking spaces set aside for about 50 motorcycles, and estimated that between three of four bikes could fit in each vehicle parking space.

Paraschak told both Gallant and Dennis Laliberte, who owns Naples Custom Motor Sports, that as event organizers, they would be responsible for coning off the area to reserve the parking space they anticipate needing to use.

“This time of year, parking is not an issue on the Causeway,” Paraschak said.

ments to the selectmen, as well as “other aspects raised for discussion,” Berkowitz stated, in his invitational memo to the committee heads.

The discussion also thoroughly addressed the issue of “conflict of interest,” with an explanation of the town attorney’s advice in this matter and presented by the town manager.

“Wearing the same hat”…

However, perhaps the most important portion of the discussion came when Berkowitz and Selectmen Chairman Arthur Triglione Sr. laid out how committee members should present themselves in the public arena while they are serving in their appointed capacities.

Town Manager Berkowitz said the main purpose of any appointed committee is to advise the selectmen with recommendations.

Yet Berkowitz, without naming any one committee, said that, in some cases, “there can be a power grab by people who delve into things willy-nilly, without authority. The public should know you are representing a committee and not your own personal interests.”

Berkowitz said further that, while it doesn’t mean committee members can’t express their own individual opinions, they need to understand that, “In doing that kind of work, publicly and by appointment, they are, effectively, doing the town’s work.”

Berkowitz pointed out that during the decision-making process on the proposed McDonald’s and subsequent proposed bans on fast-food chains and big-box stores — both of which voters defeated — there was a “twoparty” set of beliefs that was, at times, divisive.

Bob Wiser, the current chairman of the Bridgton Comprehensive Plan Committee, told the selectmen Sept. 27, “We do not have a ‘yes’ and ‘no’ camp any longer — we are one committee — and we’d like to elect our own vice-chair.”

Members of the Community Development Committee had written letters to the editor over the last several weeks, regarding what rates should be charged at the town-owned Salmon Point Campground on Long Lake.

At a previous selectmen’s meeting, Community Development Committee mem-

ber Chuck Renneker handed the selectmen a detailed recommendation regarding the committee’s recommendations for rates as well as the future expansion of the campground. It was the very first time the selectmen had seen the recommendation, so it made it difficult for them to comment on it.

“Let’s talk about recommendations to the selectmen,” the town manager said. “Whatever your committee votes on, it should come to the selectmen well in advance of their meeting,” he said, in order to allow them time to review it and make a decision whether to discuss it CONDUCT, Page A

Redneck Lounge

(Continued from Page A) The layout of the new location in Bridgton has the appeal of offering a more intimate space, especially coveted by those who need a semi-quiet transition from the workday, and friends trying to hold a conversation without yelling over the music.

Compared to the open-concept layout of the Naples structure, which had a large dance floor between the bar and the stage — The Commons building has an attached garage, and some degrees of separation.

The main building will house a newly constructed pine bar and matching bar stools as well as other seating. The garage’s walls will provide a sound buffer for patrons in the bar area. And, customers looking to hit the dance floor can go into the garage, where a stage will be built.

“We will still be about offering quality entertainment to the community,” said Shane.

Entertainment will include live bands once a month and a karaoke machine with a wide genre of music for every ear and every voice box.

The garage loft will fit pool tables — another source of entertainment for those talented with a cue stick.

The menu will offer quirky Redneck fare like sweet tater fries and a variety of hot wings with clever names, based on how spicy the marinade is.

The big question is: When the work is all done and the Redneck Lounge is back in business at its new location, how happy will Shane be?

As happy as a tick on a fat dog?

Or, happier than a tornado in a trailer park?

No texting & driving

Texting while driving a motor vehicle is now against the law.

The law, entitled “An Act To Prohibit Texting While Driving,” was sponsored by State Senator Bill Diamond and it is one of a number of bills passed this last legislative session that goes into effect this week.

“The problem of texting while driving is reaching epidemic proportions,” Senator Diamond said. “Studies have shown that texting is the most serious distraction faced by drivers, and that it is even more dangerous than driving while tired. This new law will save lives and prevent serious injuries.”

The new law defines “texting” as reading or composing electronic communications, including text messages, instant messages and e-mails. It does not include using a GPS or navigation system.

Drivers who are caught texting while driving will face a fine of at least $100.

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer A teenage girl who has been charged in the death of 19-yearold Thomas Colby McLendon of Oxford in a single-vehicle car accident on Route 35 in Harrison last October, was released into her parents’ custody under house arrest, late Monday morning.

Judge Paul Eggert explained his purpose for not remanding Morgan L. Kesseli, 18, of Paris, to the Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland, where she has been incarcerated since admitting to a violation of bail conditions at a juvenile court proceeding earlier this month in Portland.

Cumberland County District Attorney Stephanie Anderson said at the Sept. 8 hearing that Kesseli was being sent to the LCYDC for substance abuse treatment.

Judge Eggert said, in his ruling Sept. 26 in Ninth District Court in Bridgton, that he would rather release Kesseli to her parents’ custody than “to have her keep sitting there in the Long Creek Youth Development Center doing, essentially, noth-

ing…I would much prefer to have her actively working on her mental health and substance abuse issues.”

Kesseli, who faces felony charges of manslaughter, elevated aggravated assault, aggravated assault, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and aggravated driving to endanger, entered no plea at her arraignment in Ninth District Court in Bridgton on Aug. 22.

Kesseli was a 17-year-old juvenile when she allegedly lost control of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer she was driving on a curve at 8:15 p.m. on Oct. 21, 2010 and it crossed the center line and crashed into a stand of trees.

McLendon, known to his family and friends as “Colby,” had been riding in the backseat and was pronounced dead at the accident scene. Jacob R. Hill, 20, of Waterford, was critically injured and airlifted to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.

Both Kesseli and a third passenger, Timothy S. Coffin, of Waterford, were transported to Bridgton Hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation into the fatal

crash by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office determined “that excessive speed was the primary causation factor,” according to Captain Don Goulet.

At Monday morning’s hearing, Assistant District Attorney Michelle McCulloch told the court that it was anticipated Kesseli would be admitted within four to six weeks to an inpatient treatment program at Crossroads for Women in Windham, a residential rehabilitation center for those with substance abuse issues. She said Kesseli would be participating, as an outpatient, in the Blue Willow Counseling Program, until she can be admitted to the facility in Windham.

McCulloch said Kesseli would be wearing a monitoring device known as a “robo cuff,” while under house arrest at her mother Lisa Palmer’s and stepfather Eric Palmer’s home where she had resided prior to the prior bail violation admission. The ADA also asked the court to impose the following conditions upon Kesseli — that there be no use of alcohol or illegal drugs

and no operation or use of a motor vehicle.

Previous conditions of Kesseli’s bail were that she only drive a motor vehicle twice a week to classes at Central Maine Community College in Auburn, she must reside with her parents, and have no contact with Timothy Coffin.

“The State does have great concerns,” McCulloch stated on Monday, “that since (the hearing in Portland) on September 8, she has used marijuana, cocaine and Oxycodone and attended the Barrel Fest with Jacob Hill (where alcohol was served). Kesseli was also involved “in a minor (motor vehicle) accident September 6 on her way to school,” Assistant District Attorney McCulloch told the judge.

“It is still the State’s position that, in light of the seriousness of the offense and in light of the substances she was using,” the state has reservations about Kesseli returning to her parents’ home “where she was not adhering to her bail conditions before.”

House arrest (Continued from Page A) The ADA submitted a statement at the Sept. 26 hearing from accident victim Timothy Coffin that was not read aloud in the courtroom. Colby McLendon’s parents, James and Pamela, were in the courtroom along with other relatives, Monday morning. They have filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against both Kesseli and her mother, who owned the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer Kesseli was driving when their son was killed.

Colby McLendon’s father, James, told the court, “My position is there ought to be consequences for her. It (the incarceration of Kesseli at LCYDC) should stay as is.”

“My son doesn’t have a chance to get any second chances, due to this accident,” James McLendon said.

Defense attorney J.P. DeGrinney told the court that speed had been determined to be the main cause of the fatal crash, and not his client’s substance abuse.

“We’re dealing with two issues — moving forward and healing,” said Attorney DeGrinney, “and getting her the help she needs.” He said Kesseli would be subject to random testing and search of her person or residence, and random calls to her home to make sure she is complying with the house arrest condition, as well as undertaking “community service and intensive outpatient treatment.”

Apparently referring to James McLendon’s statement to the court, DeGrinney said, “We are not at a point in the process where we’re talking about punishment, and we are not at a point in the process where we are talking about consequences.”

Attorney DeGrinney said Lisa Palmer had told him she has sold her daughter’s car and that “transportation is in place through RTP (Regional Transportation Program).”

DeGrinney said again, that it is hoped the focus can be on Kesseli getting treatment and “everyone can work on some healing here.”

At Monday morning’s hearing, Judge Eggert said, “We are here today to decide whether Morgan Kesseli should be retained at the Long Creek Youth Development Center before (her admission to) Crossroads (for Women) or beyond that…”

“We’re not here to address sentencing or a penalty for actions that led to the criminal complaint (against Kesseli),” the judge said.

Judge Eggert said further that, as to James McLendon’s statement about consequences, the court was going to address “the consequences of conditions of release.”

The judge said the Sept. 6 motor vehicle accident Kesseli was involved in was a minor one showing “really that she’s a bad driver.”

“We are going to address that by taking her car away and her keys away,” said Judge Eggert of Kesseli’s case. He said the conditions of release would also include “having her under house arrest with a substance abuse program in place — and if she slips at all, she’s, in fact, busted,” the judge stated.

“She is to have no contact with Jacob Hill, in addition to the other conditions discussed earlier,” Judge Eggert ordered, “as well as to undergo the counseling that has been arranged.”

Eggert further ordered that Kesseli begin participating in the intake process at Blue Willow Counseling Center as of Sept. 27.

“That (treatment program) will require her attention, Monday through Friday, and she’s required to do that and that’s a bridge program, until she can be admitted to Crossroads,” Judge Eggert said.

“And, hopefully, they can help her address both her substance abuse and mental health issues. He said the house arrest Kesseli is ordered to live under “is the responsibility of the family.”

Turning to the Palmers, Judge Eggert told them, “You have an obligation to report that, if she sneaks out.”

Directly addressing Morgan Kesseli, Judge Eggert told her, “You need to rely very heavily on the counselors, the substance abuse program and your mother and father.”

The next hearing regarding Kesseli’s bail conditions and the status of her case was set for January 23, 2012 at 9 a.m. in Ninth District Court in Bridgton.

“The juvenile may be relased to the custody of her parents,” Judge Eggert ordered.

Rec, Fire volunteer faces sex charges

By Lisa Williams Ackley Staff Writer A 43-year-old local man, who volunteers as a coach for the Bridgton Recreation Department and as a member of the Bridgton Fire Department, has been suspended from his duties by both organizations, following his arrest Monday on an alleged Class B felony charge of gross sexual assault.

Charles M. Robbins, of Pond Road in Bridgton, who was arrested without incident at his home Sept. 26 by Bridgton Police Investigator Brad Gaumont, was also charged with a misdemeanor Class D charge of unlawful sexual touching, according to Bridgton Chief of Police Kevin L. Schofield Wednesday morning.

Asked if the alleged victim is under or over the age of 14, Chief Schofield declined to confirm any information at all

about the alleged victim, at this time.

When asked if Robbins has a criminal history of any kind, Chief Schofield said, “I’m unaware of his previous criminal history, at this time.”

“The arrest stems from an incident that had occurred in the Town of Bridgton during the month of August,” Chief Schofield said of the alleged charges brought against Robbins. “At this point in time, the investigation is ongoing and evolving.”

Chief Schofield said he encourages anyone with information pertinent to the investigation to call Investigator Gaumont at 647-8814.

Georgiann Fleck, the Town of Bridgton’s Public Information Officer, issued this press release Sept. 28, which states, “As a result of recent events, the Bridgton Fire and Bridgton Recreation Departments have had to suspend Mr. Charles Robbins

from all Department activities and events, until further notice. In taking this action, Recreation Director Thomas Tash indicated that his primary concern was to maintain the trust and integrity of the Department’s programs, volunteers and participants and the ongoing relationships that make the Department successful.”

“This is never an easy decision to make and I believe that it is for the best reasons,” said Recreation Department Director Tash. “Our discussions lead me to believe that, until these issues have been resolved, his (Robbins’) voluntary efforts with the Departments need to be suspended.”

Bridgton Fire Chief Glen Garland “echoed the same thoughts and concerns,” Fleck said, in the Sept 28 press release.

Berkowitz said full disclosure is necessary, at all times.

“I don’t want to sound like I’m preaching,” stated Berkowitz, “but government fails, when we lose the trust of the public — when someone perceives you are serving your own interest rather than the position you were appointed to.”

Berkowitz reminded the selectmen that they are the board to which committee appointees report.

Therefore, said Berkowitz, “They don’t go out on their own and go drumming up business ‘for’ or ‘against’ — and I’ll leave it at that generic statement.”

Chairman Triglione gave examples of a current appointed committee member who wrote a recent letter to the editor of The Bridgton News, as well as a former selectman who did the same years ago. Triglione pointed that neither had identified themselves as a board or committee member of the town when they

signed their letters to the editor, but that the newspaper itself disclosed what their municipal positions are and were.

“When we leave here (the municipal complex as elected or appointed municipal officials),” Triglione said, “we don’t take our hats off — you keep that hat on.”

The town manager announced that an individual representing themselves as a member of the Bridgton Beautification Committee recently visited a business owner on Main Street, asking them, in Berkowitz’s words, “What are you going to do with your landscaping, because it’s a mess?”

Berkowitz then said there is no one acting any official capacity for the town, in that regard — he stated that he’s not even sure there still is an active Beautification Committee in place — and the board of GREAT GOLF OUTING — It was another great year for the selectmen would like to be Sebago Lions’ Phil Farrin Memorial Golf Outing held at Naples advised, should any individu- Golf and Country Club on Sept. 10. “Our heartfelt thanks to all al or business owner have a visit from someone claiming to represent the Town of Bridgton Beautification Committee.

SOUTH PARIS — The Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District (OCSWCD) is sponsoring a course in “Basic and Advanced Erosion and Sediment Control Practices” on Thursday, Oct. 20.

It will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Waterford Town Office, located on 366 Valley Road.

This course provides an opportunity for contractors, such as builders, landscapers, property managers and loggers, to maintain or obtain DEP certification in erosion control practices so that they

can be in compliance with legislation changes that will go into effect in 2013. The legislation will pertain to activities, which involve soil disturbance within the shoreland zone and will require all such activities to be overseen by a person certified in erosion and sediment control.

In addition to information about how erosion occurs and Styling for the whole family

why it is important to prevent it, participants are provided with information on the proper selection, installation and maintenance of practices such as sediment barriers, mulch, vegetative stabilization, riprap, etc.

The course is of primary interest to contractors who would like to obtain certification, but could also be helpful

to municipal code enforcement officers, consultants, engineers and public works employees.

Participants wishing to complete the certification process should follow up this course with an evaluation of erosion and sediment control techniques in practice, which is done by arranging a site visit with SWCD staff.

Some of the benefits to those completing ESC Certification are: certification holders can forgo the 14day waiting period for Stream Crossing Projects under the Department’s Permit-by-Rule program. It will also allow the holder to certify erosion control plans under the MPDES Construction Activity General Permit. Certification enables a contractor to advertise as a “DEP Certified Contractor” and the Maine DEP maintains a list of certified contractors that is posted on the DEP website. This list is available for distribution to the general public, state agencies and other interested persons.

All certified individuals can also obtain any publication from the Nonpoint Source Training and Resource Center Library at no charge and are eligible for discounts from selected suppliers of erosion control products.

The registration fee for the course is $35 and includes all course materials and lunch.

Participants may register by calling Michele Windsor at the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District at 7435789, ext. 101, or download a copy of the registration form from the district’s website at www.oxfordswcd.net and return it with a check for the registration fee before Oct. 14.

The 11th annual Loon Echo Trek was held on Saturday, Sept.

17 at Shawnee Peak Ski Area.

The event benefits the Loon Echo Land Trust and helps preserve the beauty of Western Maine for future generations.

According to Executive Director Carrie Walia, the Trek was a phenomenal success drawing 343 participants and raising close to $45,000 with an additional $25,000 of in-kind donations.

The organization, participants and volunteers alike are already looking forward to next year’s Trek, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012.

Loon Trek raises close to $45,000 volunteers who equally care about land conservation. Many people agreed the Loon Echo is one of the best Treks in New England.

“Thank you for a wonderful event,” shared century rider Robert G. Schrader, Esq. “The volunteers were great, as were the rest stops and reception afterward. (It is) the best organized ‘century’ I have done and we will ride again.”

People especially enjoyed the new additions at the post trek party, which included a free barbecue meal, beverages, massage and music.

HEADING OUT FOR A NICE RIDE FOR A GOOD CAUSE — This year’s Loon Echo Land Trust Trek attracted 343 par-

TRADES WELCOME

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — As far as one area resident is concerned, this region saved its best festival for last.

“Nowhere else can you go where everyone is smiling and in a good mood. I am talking about thousands of people with smiles on their faces,” said local business woman Mrs. Tux (aka Billi Lynn Burke.) “You have an open beach area at Point Sebago Resort. You have the most beautiful views.”

She added, “There is live entertainment from the time you step onto the beach. Even as you are going to your car to leave, live music is playing,” she said. “And, of course, the best micro-brews, beers and wines are being poured.”

Mrs. Tux was describing the Maine Lakes Brew Fest, which drew more than 3,000 people to the beach at Point Sebago Resort on Saturday.

She said volunteers were helpful, rolling up their sleeves and jumping in wherever needed. When she was at one side of the beach checking on things, another organizer was on the other side of the festival acreage making sure the needs of the vendors and the public were being met.

“I had a big smile on my face the whole time. Usually, when I do a big event like this it’s stressful. But, everyone made it go so smooth,” Mrs. Tux said.

Even the sunshine burst through the cloud cover to attend the Brew Fest, she said. Some of the organizers and volunteers expressed worries about the overcast sky.

“I had no doubt. I told them ‘What are you concerned about? It’ll be sunny.’ And, at 11 a.m. the sun came out and it was beautiful day,” Mrs. Tux said. “It’s was a great day, but I tell you it is a lot of work to get to that day. This is not pieced together. When you have a great outcome, it isn’t the day that made it successful — it’s all the planning that everyone helped with.”

Mrs. Tux sits on the committee that started planning for 2011 three days after last year’s Brew Fest.

With the 8th annual Brew Fest under their belts, the Brew Fest planning committee members met again on Tuesday.

Seven committee members — all with full-time jobs — assume the responsibility of coordinating an aspect of the Brew Fest. Committee members work with staff at the Greater Bridgton Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce.

“The Chamber staff: They are the hub we send all the communication to,” she said.

The committee covered two things: Anything that can be improved upon and the budget for the 2012 Brew Fest, Mrs. Tux said. The committee shared comments and suggestions they heard from the public, the brewers and the volunteers.

“An improvement can be FESTIVE MOOD at the 8th made upon anything you do,” annual Brew Fest held at she said. “The Brew Fest is Point Sebago in Casco. continually growing, so we have to change for that growth.”

If bragging about Maine Lakes Brew Fest is on the committee’s job description, Mrs. Tux has hers down pat. Mrs. Tux readily offered big kudos for the crew of dedicated volunteers who set aside time to assist with the Brew Fest. Between 80 and 100 volunteers helped with the event, she said.

“People don’t just volunteer for a few hours. A lot of people volunteer all day,” Mrs. Tux said.

One of the benefits of attending the event is the networking that happens, which is why volunteers enjoy working the event as much as the brewers who bring their best samples.

The People’s Choice Awards were given to Casco-based Blacksmith’s Winery for the best wine, and Woodchuck for the best brewed beer, Mrs. Tux said. Also, a variety of scrumptious, fall-time food delighted the taste buds of festival-goers, she said.

“The smells of the food, the view, the energy, everything, is so wonderful. Dare I say it? It was as good as Christmas,” she said.

The annual Brew Fest falls the same time as Oktoberfest Weekend at Point Sebago Resort. Oktoberfest is a celebration with European roots, and usually occurs in September.

According to Mrs. Tux, organizers had a day or two after the event to “prop up our feet and congratulate ourselves, and enjoy the success of the 2011 Brew Fest.”

Then, all attention turned to the job of planning for 2012.

Nose to the grindstone: Crew paves for Fair traffic businesses had closed for the season, and the traffic had been lighter than usual.

“It seems like a ghost town,” he said.

In addition, contractor Wyman & Simpson Inc. had sent many of its crew members to other sites, where construction projects were facing an October deadline for completion.

Wyman & Simpson, which has been in business since 1924, recently won the 2010 Build Maine Award after finishing construction on the Greenville Municipal Wharf.

Many of those company employees will be called back to the Causeway project sometime after Columbus Day. Hurd said the most important projects are getting done in record speed. However, some others — like replacing wooden railings with metal ones on the

Manoian staying

boardwalk — will be scheduled after the fair and when crews return. Soon, Causeway construction will resume the busy-as-bee levels it reached before Memorial Day weekend.

From what was completed during the summer season, it has become easier to envision what the boardwalk will look like next spring, he said. A seawall, which was built this spring and summer, follows the shoreline of Long Lake on the Causeway.

Walking along the boardwalk, a person is perched above the water; and in the construction zone, the dirt walkway descends until the ground is below water level with lake waves hitting the seawall.

This will be the pathway that travels under the bridge, allowing people to go between the Long Lake and Brandy Pond sides of the Causeway without crossing Route 302.

This spring when the top layer of pavement is placed, permanent

crosswalks will be striped where some of the temporary ones were located this summer. In addition, new crosswalks will be put in between the Naples Public Beach and Naples Village Green, in front of the Naples Public Library, and near Freedom Café, he said.

Foundation for the bridge The September afternoon brings a surge of traffic with an array of out-of-state plates.

Below the rumble of tires that are crossing the bridge, a new foundation has been built.

Twin abutments sit parallel on the west and east side of the channel between Long Lake and Brandy Pond. The west abutment is about four steps ahead of the east one, as far as construction goes, Hurd said.

Rebar in the shape of a rectangle sticks out from the west abutment. Workers drove piles into the ground 80 feet before reaching bedrock, or ledge, he said.

For the east abutment, the piles were driven between 40 and 50 feet down to touch bedrock.

“It sits on bedrock. It isn’t going anywhere,” he said.

The bottom of the concrete abutment starts 17 feet down.

After the water is pumped out of the east abutment, nine feet of concrete will be poured to create a seal. The footing will be between four and five feet below the water, he said. After the two abutments are completed, two cranes will be required to lift the arch into place, according to Jeff Simpson, of Wyman & Simpson.

Concrete will be poured into a form, the outer layer of the form will be removed, and then the concrete arch will be set into place.

Bridge construction crews will have a slightly drier workspace when water levels drop from the autumn-time opening of the Songo River Lock, which allows some water to drain from Long Lake, Brandy Pond and the

(Continued from Page A) redevelopment and redevelopment of the old A&P Store.

The list goes on. Just recently, he spoke with Lisa Cavanaugh, executive director of Community Dental Inc. and said they’re considering an alternative location to the Bridgton Hospital Campus — somewhere in the downtown. And he’s been working for months with the Macdonald family (of Macdonald Motors) on a site plan that would replace the buildings they own in Pondicherry Square with a new two- or three-story building oriented both to Main Street and Stevens Brook.

“Right now, I’m working with a high-end restaurateur on a game-changing restaurant experience (for the Macdonald properties), the likes of which Bridgton’s never seen. The individual is interested in a long-term lease,” he said.

The project needs more to make it work, and nothing has been signed. It might not happen, but if it does, riverfront property owners at the Square like Jamie Potter of Potter Place, among others, stand ready to work with him on developing a muchanticipated Riverfront Walk promenade that could extend all the way to Pondicherry Park.

Oct. 18 of next month will mark the beginning of his fourth year of service working for the town, at an annual salary of around $46,000. The commercial loan officer’s job offered a starting pay of $90,000. But he said his reputation as an economic planner is worth more.

“I’m staying because we’re really going to see the wonderful results of rebuilding the structural foundation of Bridgton,” said Manoian.

Songo River.

The Lock is opened to create storage room for spring run-off; and typically, it takes all winter to see a noticeable drop in the water level, Simpson said.

The deadline to finish the Bay of Naples Bridge is May 2012, according to Hurd. As outlined in the MDOT bid award, the current swing bridge becomes the property of Wyman & Simpson.

The swing bridge operator’s booth also belongs to Wyman & Simpson — now that the bridge stopped opening to boat traffic, he said.

“I heard they were going to keep it where it is and use it as a warming hut. It gives good protection from the wind,” Hurd said.

Contract

(Continued from Page A) tive on Jan. 1, 2012, the town will change to a POS 200 health insurance plan and will establish a Health Reimbursement Account for each person based upon the level of health insurance coverage they purchase — $300 for a single person and $500 for two people (employee and spouse) and a family.

A POS health plan is basically a combination of the HMO and PPO plans, except that the employee will be required to designate an in-network physician to be their primary health care provider.

Under the Maine Municipal Employees Health Trust’s POS 200 plan, employees will pay a $200 deductible if single and a $400 deductible for family coverage. Maximum annual out-ofpocket expenses will be $1,200 for a single person and $2,400 under the family coverage. The POS 200 health plan pays 80 percent of inpatient services, both in-network and out-of-network, after the deductible.

Four-day work week for police A two-week notice will be given, prior to the Bridgton Police Department transitioning to a four-day, 10 hours per day work week, according to Berkowitz. Previously, the police officers had a five-day work schedule.

year project, which began on Columbus Day 2010.

Where this week’s paving took place, Hurd has found his favorite tree. He thinks the trunk of a crab apple and the trunk of another kind of apple tree wrapped around each other so the branches appear to bear two types of fruit.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Causeway, the view from the 55-year-old Naples Swing Bridge reveals that “the fruits of labor” are taking shape.

The base that will hold the bridge’s arch is being completed underfoot with the help of a crane, Vibro Hammer, and piledriving hammer.

On Monday, Hurd commented how peculiar it seemed that on an 80-degree day on the Causeway, there were only a handful of people around, two-thirds of the

BROWNFIELD — The acclaimed Boston folk group Crooked Still will be playing at Stone Mountain Arts Center on Thursday, Oct. 6 before taking some time off after 10 years of successful touring around the world.

Crooked Still is releasing a new CD called “Friends of Fall” on Signature Sounds Recordings with a fall tour supporting its release. The band will be taking some time off the road in 2012, so this is a rare chance to see them before they begin taking time to pursue some new and exciting projects.

Crooked Still is well known for its one-of-a-kind interpretations of tradi-

tional American folk songs.

“Friends of Fall” showcases the band’s compelling approach to contemporary and original music.

This unique song collection coincides with the band’s 10-year anniversary tour in October, and features covers of the Beatles, Paul Simon, and John Hartford as well as original pieces and a musical adaptation of a Wendell Berry poem.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the show, which begins at 8 p.m. at Stone Mountain, located on Dugway Road in Brownfield. Tickets are $25 each. For more information, visit www.stonemountainartscenter.com

It’s easy and so green to donate your redeemable bottles and cans to the Bridgton Public Library.

“We’re offering three ways to save all those nickels,” said Diana Fallon, president of the Friends of the Bridgton Public Library.

The town’s transfer station has three containers devoted to bottle and can donations, located at the west end of the gray building. The facility is located on Route 117, just off Route 302 and is open on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We’ll be emptying the containers during October,” said Fallon.

Another option is to take returnables to the Bridgton Redemption Center at 4 Nulty Street. Clearly mark container “BPL” and leave the marked containers on the floor under the windows. The containers will be counted and the money passed on to the library. No need to stand in line. Redemption Center hours are: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Sunday 9 a.m.

The last week of September is Active Aging Week, as promoted by the International Council on Active Aging. The ICAA’s motto: “Changing the Way We Age.” This motto reflects the intent of this article series, now in it’s fourth year.

My original impetus for writing the article came from my own realization that I was a health professional and I was turning 60. So, while I try to impart helpful information to readers, I also help myself along the way.

A two-fer!

Counting steps has been something that I recommend to those who are getting started on a walking program. Because it is so tangible, we can easily see improvement as we increase steps. If this sounds like some-

FRYEBURG — Pigs, pig scrambles, and county fairs all make for good stories and great memories.

On Saturday, Oct. 22, Maine author Jessica Kinney will share both, as she reads from her newly released children’s picture book, The Pig Scramble.

The talk, reading, and book signing will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at Fryeburg Academy’s Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, which is located on Bradley Street in Fryeburg.

The Pig Scramble, a hardcover children’s picture book published by Islandport Press and illustrated by Sarah Brannen, tells the story of Clarence, a young boy who feels very small compared to his two big brothers. He just can’t seem to find his place on the family farm. But advice from his inventive uncle helps him win the county fair’s pig scramble and gain some self-confidence along the way.

Accompanied by illustrations of an adorable pig every kid will want to take home, The Pig Scramble is perfect for read-aloud story times or for newly independent readers.

County fair fans will appreciate Kinney’s detailed depiction of this beloved New England tradition.

Kirkus Reviews says, “The gentle suspense will draw readers in, and the satisfying end is its own reward. A realistic look

at life on a farm, this selection provides an understanding portrait of a youngest child and extols the virtues of patience and friendship.”

Jessica Kinney is a Maine native and mother of six who lives and writes on the coast of Maine. A Bowdoin College graduate and former middle- and high-school English teacher, Kinney says The Pig Scramble was inspired by a true story about her husband, who grew up as the youngest child on a Maine dairy farm and really did win a pig at a local fair.

Sarah S. Brannen is the author and illustrator of Uncle Bobby’s Wedding. She also illustrated Digging for Troy: From Homer to Hisarlik; Mathias Franey, Powder Monkey; and The ABC Book of American Homes. Forthcoming books include The Ugly Duckling and Tooth Truth.

‘Fulfilling Your God-Given Purpose’ WATERFORD — Martha R. Moffett, a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, will present, “Fulfilling Your God-Given Purpose,” on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Inn in Waterford.

This lecture is free.

Corporate layoffs, strikes, downsizing, and outsourcing seem to have become facts of life for many Americans in recent times. Even those who have steady employment may not feel fulfilled in their jobs. In fact, a survey by The Conference Board reports that job satisfaction has declined over each of the past nine years across all income brackets and age groups in the United States. Only half of Americans say they are satisfied with their jobs, and of these, only 14 percent are “very satisfied (Feb. 28, 2005 Conference Board Report).”

Moffett will give a one-hour lecture entitled “Employment and Career Decisions: Fulfilling Your God-Given Purpose.”

“Each of us yearns to have our true talents recognized, needed, and developed,” Moffett said.

“We all want to have an important purpose. Whether you are a single mom looking for a better paying job, a corporate executive whose company is being

downsized, or a laborer without much education who needs a better career opportunity, an understanding of God’s nature as divine, ever-present Love and of man as His beloved son or daughter, made in His image and likeness brings an extraordinary power for good into human lives that saves, heals, and restores.

It’s the presence and healing power of the Christ.”

She added, “Putting your job prospects or career into God’s hands and letting Him guide you will open up wonderful opportunities to express and glorify Him.” Moffett is a Christian Science practitioner and teacher from St. Paul, Minnesota. Practitioners are individuals who spend full time in the healing practice of Christian Science. Before becoming a practitioner, Moffett had a distinguished career as a lawyer in Washington, D.C. at the U.S. Department of Justice and with a large private law firm.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Fryeburg, Maine and First Church of Christ, Scientist, Norway, Maine are joint sponsors of this lecture. For questions, please call: 603-986-3188 or 207-890-9944.

Craft fair

(Continued from Page B) was needed. On Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a Reindeer Craft Fair will be held at the Casco Community Center.

Vendredi members are actively looking for crafters right now.

The Creation is an oratorio written between 1796 and 1798

by Joseph Haydn, and considered by many to be his masterpiece. The oratorio depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as described in the biblical Book of Genesis and in Paradise Lost. Haydn was inspired to write a large orato-

rio during his visits to England in 1791-1792 and 1794-1795, when he heard oratorios of Handel performed by large choruses.

The work on the oratorio lasted from October 1796 to April 1798. It was also a profound act of faith for this deeply religious man, who appended the words “Praise to God” at the end of every completed composition.

He later remarked, “I was never so devout as when I was at work on The Creation; I fell on my knees each day and begged God to give me the strength to finish the work.”

It was the longest time he had ever spent on a single composition. Explaining this, he wrote, “I spent much time over it because I expect it to last for a long time.”

From Schloss Esterhazy in Eisenstadt, Austria in German with English and French subtitles.

Running time: approximately 118 minutes.

FRYEBURG — Auditions for It’s A Wonderful Life, under the direction of Mary BastoniRebmann will be held Monday, Oct. 10 and Tuesday, Oct. 11 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Fryeburg Academy. Performances will be held at the PAC on Dec. 1718. Rehearsals will begin in November.

The cast is made up of 12 men, 10 women, two boys and two girls.

This is the heart-warming saga of George Bailey, the Everyman of a small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been repeatedly squashed by notions of family obligation and civic duty. It is Christmas Eve, and George’s guardian angel, Clarence, descends to save him from despair, and to remind him (by showing him what the world would be like had he never been born) that this has been after all, a wonderful life… This sparkling and magical play has your favorite characters: George and

Mary, Mother Baily, Uncle Billy, Violet, and the Scrooge-like villain Mr. Potter.

It’s a Wonderful Life not only celebrates the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: that hard work, fair play, and the love and support of family and community will be rewarded.

This stage adaptation is based on the film written by Frank Capra and is written by James Rodgers.

To set up an audition time, call 603-986–2221. Walk-ins will be accepted when openings are available. Sides from the script will be provided at the audition.

Chelcie Murch

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Chelcie Murch is one of the sparkplugs that gets the Lake Region field hockey team moving.

“Chelcie has grown into an outstanding field hockey player and works very hard to improve everyday,” Lake Region varsity field hockey coach Dagny Leland said. “Chelcie is aggressive to the ball and looks to find ways to get the ball into the net. I love her enthusiasm for the game and her willingness to be that leader on the field.”

Chelcie is one of the Lakers’ tri-captains.

“It shows how much her teammates look up to her. She has been one of the top scorers and has had many assists to help her team,” Coach Leland added.

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

Raiders of week

Ellen Bachiocchi

Jamie Gullikson

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer FRYEBURG — Ellen Bacchiocchi is a blue-collar field hockey player.

She always hustles along the sideline, putting pressure on opposing team’s defenses.

She is tenacious when it comes to winning the ball from a defender.

And, Ellen is often in the right spot at the right time in front of the opposing team’s goal cage, giving Fryeburg Academy another scoring threat.

Her play is one reason why the Raiders occupy the Number 1 spot in the Class B West Heal Point ratings.

“Ellen is a seasoned varsity field hockey starter. She is extremely focused and carries the ball down the wing with grace,” FA Coach Dede Frost said. “Ellen is hard working and dedicated. She scored two goals against Greely in less than a minute last week, and had another against Falmouth.”

In recognition of her strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Ellen is this week’s

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer FRYEBURG — Jamie Gullikson is a physical presence on the soccer field, yet she also has a soft side.

A major scoring threat a year ago, Jamie was moved back to the defensive side of the ball this year to strengthen the Fryeburg Academy back end against tough Western Class B foes.

“Jamie has proven herself to be an invaluable asset in the defensive line. She has played every minute of every game this season, which includes six overtimes,” FA varsity girls’ soccer coach Terry MacGillivray said.

“She is one of the toughest competitors on our team.”

Still, Jamie has another side that coaches like to see.

“I have also noticed that she is the first player to reach down and help up an opponent who has fallen,” Coach MacGillivray said, “and that’s why Jamie has been named this week’s ‘Player of the Week.’”

LAUNCHING A BULLET — Lake Region’s offense was in high gear Saturday against Traip Academy. Here, senior Theresa Butler unloads a hard shot for one of the Lakers’

nine goals on the day. The Lakers spanked Traip 9-2, and then followed up that offensive explosion with a 7-3 win over Wells Tuesday.

Wandishin, Hancock spark barrage

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Hopefully, the last two games were a chance for the Lake Region offense to find a rhythm and players gain some confidence.

The big tests are just ahead.

Lake Region exploded for 16 goals to trounce Traip Academy and Wells.

Rachel Wandishin connected for four goals, including a penalty kick, in a 9-2 thrashing Saturday against Traip.

The Lakers were off and scoring early, building a 4-0 lead.

Theresa Butler (two goals, two assists) opened the barrage with a well-placed ball to the right corner. Wandishin had the assist.

Eight minutes later, Sydney Hancock (three goals, three assists) maneuvered through the Traip defense and scored an unassisted goal.

Traip was whistled for an infraction inside the box when its goalie collided with a hard-charging Alexa Crawford. Wandishin drilled a shot to the goalie’s left on the PK for a 3-0 lead. Wandishin scored again four minutes later off a pass from Butler.

With the Lakers shuttling in some reserves, Traip stormed back with two quick goals. But, the Lakers restored order as Butler and Hancock each scored for a 6-2 halftime lead.

Wandishin added two second half goals, assisted both times by Hancock.

“I thought the kids put together all the small pieces of the game that we have been working on in practice,” LR varsity girls’ soccer coach Lynne Harrison said. “But, we also can’t expect games to be that easy. On a different day, I think Traip might have been a much tougher opponent.”

The Lakers received aggressive play up front from Jordan Turner, who nearly netted herself two goals, but just chipped the ball wide of the cage with the netminder out of position. Jacqui Black and Kiersten Eldridge were solid moving the ball through the midfield, while Kayla Gray and Kasey Huntress anchored the defensive end.

LR continued to hit all cylinders against Wells as Sydney Hancock had a four-goal day in a 7-3 home victory Monday.

Rachel Wandishin tallied two goals while Jacqui Black also had a pair of scores.

At 4-3-1, the Lakers moved up in the Heal Ratings to sixth place, just three points behind Maranacook and Gray-NG, and just barely ahead of Yarmouth and Spruce Mountain.

With the top 11 qualifying for the playoffs, the Lakers will learn quickly just how good this squad may be. The schedule is rocky with a home game under the lights Monday against top-ranked York at 6:15 p.m.

Then, the Lakers hit the road to Cumberland to face Greely next

From underdog to the top dog

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer FRYEBURG — Dede Frost liked the underdog role.

Fryeburg Academy can no longer play that card.

The Raiders occupy the top spot in the Class B West Heal Ratings at 8-1, well ahead of Spruce Mountain (8-0, the JayLivermore combo) in the tournament index.

Although the limelight is shining brighter and brighter on this Raider edition following an impressive 4-1 victory over Falmouth last week, Coach Frost believes her team is staying humble and trying to improve its overall game as the playoffs near.

“Being ranked Number 1 is very different — not really a position I am enjoying. I don’t know why that is. I know a lot of coaches thrive on it, and maybe they’re used to it. I don’t like the limelight and I don’t like the Heal Points. The only thing Heal Points mean is if you are high enough in the standings, you get a home game.

It doesn’t guarantee anything,” Coach Frost said.

Yet, Coach Frost is happy for her girls for reaching the field

GOALIE UNDER PRESSURE — Lake Region’s Jordan Turner collides with Traip’s goalie Saturday. (Rivet Photo) Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. The 11, 6 p.m.), and away games schedule concludes with a home against Traip (Oct. 13) and North game against Fryeburg (Oct. Yarmouth Academy (Oct. 17).

hockey summit.

“Because they have never been Number 1, it’s really exciting for them. So, I’m trying to enjoy their enthusiasm of being Number 1,” Coach Frost said. “It’s still just one game at a time. Number 1 means nothing, at this point. It’s not a great place to be right now (with half the season to go) because everyone is gunning for you. I like being the underdog.”

Wednesday’s duel featured two teams with blazing speed along the front line. Falmouth is now a turf team, which often works to the Yachtsmen’s advantage. But, the Raiders managed to pin Falmouth (4-31) in their own end for most of the first half, often times being a step quicker to the ball.

Fryeburg scored first with 21:39 left in the first half as Sage Hennessy knocked in a rebound shot after two quick flicks in front of the cage by Ellen Bacchiocchi. FA’s persistence resulted in four straight penalty corner calls, which set up the first goal.

Five minutes later, Hennessy’s crossing pass to SIDELINE JUGGLER — Raider Kendra Fox lifts the ball the left side found a motoring past a Yarmouth defender during Monday’s 4-0 win at Fryeburg Academy.

This week’s H.S. sports highlights

LOSING THE HANDLE — Fryeburg Academy running back Kyle Bonner tries to get his fingertips back on the football after Westbrook’s junior lineman Josh Tardiff dislodges

CROSS COUNTRY Fryeburg Academy’s Silas Eastman posted the third fastest time at the Gull Crest Field at Cape Elizabeth last Friday with a dominating 15-minute, 26-second effort to win the three-miler.

Raiders play with ‘heart,’ fail to make big play

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer FRYEBURG — A football can bounce in many strange directions.

So can a high school football roster. Normally, Tanner Wentworth plays tight end on offense for Fryeburg Academy and linebacker on defense.

Unforeseen circumstances forced Wentworth to change positions from end to guard, and linebacker to defensive end — the day before this week’s game.

Raider Coach David Turner had to reshuffle his line-up due to injuries and “other” issues.

No time for practice, it was on the job training for Wentworth and other Raiders. Although they fought valiantly against former Class A Westbrook, the Raiders were on the short end of the count Saturday.

They lost, but players scored big points with their head coach.

“I am real proud of these guys considering what they were up against. We fought.

We had to move kids around yesterday (Friday, because of injury and an off-the-field issue), yet they played hard and nearly won this game,” FA head varsity football coach David Turner said. “We came in with the attitude that we were going to fight on every play. Fight for every blade of grass, and that’s what we did.”

A couple of made plays here and there, and the Raiders could be standing at 3-1.

Instead, Westbrook was the team to make more plays Saturday to claim a 22-6 victory at the Academy.

Senior quarterback Terry Webber put the Blazers on his shoulders in the second half, scoring on touchdown runs of 4 and 27 yards en route to a 106-yard rushing afternoon as Westbrook won for the first in three games.

“We weren’t surprised by what they wanted to do,” said Coach Turner about their new foe, that joined the Campbell Conference this fall. “They had two distinct packages, which we had scouted. They didn’t do anything that we weren’t

prepared for.”

Fellow senior Graham Strondak (18 carries, 76 yards) was a workhorse in the first half, and gave Westbrook a 7-0 lead with 5:26 left in the first quarter on a 5-yard burst off the right side.

Fryeburg (2-2) rolled the dice, going for it on 4th-and-5 at the Blazes 39. Tyler Nadeau was open, but FA quarterback Andrew Rascoe short-hopped the throw for an incompletion.

Although Webber had a poor statistical game throwing the ball, he showed off his big arm with a deep ball to senior Magnes Lewis, who leaped higher than two Raider defenders to make the catch at the FA-5 — a pass good for 41

yards, setting up Strondak’s TD. “The tough part about that play is that we had two guys right there, but they just couldn’t make a stop,” Coach Turner said. “That’s the difference. Their kid made a play, and we had a break down.”

A bobbled exchange and a high snap over Rascoe’s head doomed the next two Raider offensive drives. FA pinned Westbrook at their own 1 when CJ Bartlett nailed a beautiful punt.

Fryeburg was unable to capitalize on good field position as a Rascoe pass hit off the chest of receiver Kyle Bonner and was snagged by Westbrook’s Aaron Duncanson, who returned the

ball 32 yards to the FA-26.

With the Blazes looking to score after Strondak picked up 6 yards to move the ball to the FA-11, defensive back Kirk Hubbard returned the favor.

Webber zipped a pass into the left flat, where Hubbard was perfectly position for the interception with 1:02 left until halftime.

Westbrook went up 13-0, taking advantage of a poor punt to start the third quarter. Starting at the FA-37, Webber’s strong second effort picked up 18 yards. Strondak escaped two FA tacklers for 10 yards, setting up Webber’s 4-yard keeper with 8:16 left in

the quarter.

Down 13-0, the Raiders answered in seven plays as Devine Dockery, who was battling illness, caught a swing pass from Rascoe and galloped 46 yards down the left sideline.

The Blazes front line seemingly had the Raiders stuffed on two running plays, but a facemask and unnecessary roughness penalties gave the drive new life. Following solid blocks by David McLaughlin and Greg Sargent, Rascoe found enough of a seam to score from a yard out. A point-after run was thwarted by Westbrook lineman Blake Toth and linebacker Strondak.

Fryeburg caught a break with 3:16 left in the third quarter as Strondak was drilled by FA linebacker Bobby Ramsay (game high 15 tackles), causing a fumble, which was pounced upon by Tyler Nadeau.

Again, the Raiders were unable to convert on a fourth down try, this time at midfield as Dockery was slammed for a 3-yard loss by Blazes lineman Devon Grant.

The Blazes appeared ready to deliver a knockout punch, driving the ball from midfield to the FA-10, but on a fourth down call, Webber was dumped for a yard loss by a WESTBROOK, Page C Phone: Fax: Outside ME:

Westbrook downs Raiders

(Continued from Page C) surging right side of the FA defense.

Hubbard saved his team by recovering a fumble, but FA saw their deficit climb to nine points when a shotgun snap sailed over Rascoe’s head into the end zone, where Ben Grant tackled the FA quarterback for a safety with 7:05 left.

Both defenses rose to late challenges, until Westbrook salted away their first victory in Class B as Webber broke four tackles to score from 27 yards out with 22 seconds remaining.

Coach Turner said his players were trying to strip the ball away from the Westbrook quarterback, but in doing so, failed to make a tackle.

“We had opportunities all day to make some plays offensively, but couldn’t sustain things,” Coach Turner said.

“We just need to get better.

There were plays there that if SLIDING GOAL — Lake Region’s Sydney Hancock shoots the ball past the Traip Academy we made them, we would have goalie during Saturday’s 9-2 romp in Naples. Hancock scored three goals Saturday, and then won the game.”

Despite falling short on the added four goals against Wells on Monday.

(Rivet Photo) scoreboard, Coach Turner and

his staff were very high on the players’ efforts.

“With the numbers we had, these kids played hard from start to finish. What more can we ask of them? Fatigue was an issue,” Coach Turner said.

“We had a couple of kids who took a beating out there, but they kept coming back. We never gave up. Even when they were really tired, they came up with some big stops on fourth down. That’s a team that didn’t give up. That’s a team that played with a lot of heart.

As a team, we are better than we were yesterday. We came together.”

Up next: The Raiders host Greely this Saturday as part of Homecoming festivities at the Academy. Game time is 1:30 p.m.

“We have to have the same mentality as last week. We need to keep battling,” said Coach Turner about what his Raiders need to do to keep pace with the speedy Rangers.

“Hopefully, we can get a little healthier. Greely is very, very

Lake Region captured second place at Yarmouth last Friday behind Top 10 finishes from TJ Leach, Mark MacDougall, Dillon Knudsen and Nick Aceto.

Merriconeag’s Jack Pierce set the winning 5K pace in 18:57.

Leach was fourth at 21:17, a full minute behind Yarmouth’s Braden Becker. MacDougall claimed seventh in 21:55 followed by Knudsen in eighth at 22:43 and Aceto in ninth at 22:47.

fought 1-1 double-overtime tie with Sacopee Valley (6-2-1) on Tuesday. Alice Sanborn scored the LR goal, assisted by Checlie Murch.

The Lakers picked up the offensive pressure in overtime as Sacopee goalie Ashley Pingree made 10 of her 14 saves in the extra sessions. LR goalie Shannon Van Loan turned away nine shots.

Up next: The Lakers travel to Wells on Saturday for an 11 a.m. game. The Lakers continue their road swing at Greely on Monday and Yarmouth on Wednesday, Oct. 5, both games at 4 p.m. LR closes the season with Gray-NG at home on Oct. 7 and York on the road Oct. 11.

FOOTBALL Years ago, Marshwood put up a number of blowout wins against Lake Region. Then, the Hawks moved to Class A. Well, Marshwood’s return to Class B in football had been rocky to date, until Friday. The Hawks steamrolled Lake Region 51-14 to notch their first win of the season. The Hawks built a 44-6 halftime lead. The Lakers fell to 0-4.

“This was the boys’ best meet in two years,” LR Coach Dan Dors said. “Everyone did their best over a very tough course.

TJ has shown a big improvement, and if he keeps working hard, he could make States.”

Final standings: Merriconeag 35, Lake Region 42, Gray-New Gloucester 65, Yarmouth 88.

On the girls’ side, junior Sarah Becker of Yarmouth won the race in 24:28. Kari Eldridge posted the fastest LR time in 28:41 to place 19th in the field of 33.

FIELD HOCKEY It was a split for the Lakers this past week, beating a team

that they should — Cape Elizabeth, 3-1 — and falling just short against one of the league’s best — York, 3-0.

At Cape on Saturday, the Lakers got goals from Miranda Chadbourne, Alice Sanborn and Chelcie Murch to earn their fourth win of the season.

Against third-ranked York, the Lakers had a tough time against the Cat defense. At the other end of the field, LR goalie Shannon Van Loan recorded 15 saves to keep her team in the game.

With five games to go, the Lakers (4-3-1, ranked seventh) can improve their position in the Heal Ratings if they can take down Greely, Wells and Yarmouth.

Recaps: Tough day on the links

(Continued from Page C) to down the Raiders 3-0. The Wildcats dictated the flow of the game for most of the contest, limiting the Raiders to quality chances. FA had one first-half shot from the right wing hit hard off the inside of the far post, but the ball rocketed back into play.

Down 2-0, FA had another scoring bid just sail wide of the left side of the net. York improved to 6-1-1, while the Raiders fell to 4-4.

Last week, the Raiders upended Traip Academy 5-2 as Stefan Sjekloca tallied four goals. Sonam Sherpa had the other goal.

FA goalie Paul Dostie made seven saves.

Lake Region remained winless on the season, blanked by Freeport 5-0. Goalie Dakota Bush turned away 18 Falcon shots.

Up next: The Raiders host Sacopee on Saturday at noon and Wells on Monday at 4 p.m.

FA then travels to Freeport next Thursday, Oct. 6. The Raiders presently occupy the eighth spot in the Class B West Heal Ratings. Freeport is fifth, so if the Raiders hope to make a push in the standings, a win against the Falcons would be a big feather in their cap. The top 11 teams qualify for the playoffs.

Lake Region travels to York on Tuesday, Oct. 4 for a 6 p.m. game. LR hosts Greely next Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m.

GIRLS’ SOCCER With six games to go, one might not point to Freeport as a critical contest, but it could be for Fryeburg Academy.

The Raiders presently hold the final playoff spots, but are just two tourney points ahead of Freeport. The two teams meet

this Friday at the Academy at 3:30 p.m.

Sam Nardone scored twice last Thursday to lead FA to a big 2-1 victory over North Yarmouth Academy. The Raiders were down 1-0 before Nardone came to the rescue. FA peppered the NYA cage as the Panther’s goalie made 25 saves.

Fryeburg fell to 2-3-3 with a 11-0 lashing by York Monday afternoon.

Up next: Fryeburg hosts Greely on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 4 p.m. The remaining schedule: at Lake Region, Oct. 11; at Sacopee Valley, Oct. 13; and home against Waynflete, Oct. 17.

GOLF Tough week on the links!

Lake Region was blanked 70 by Cape Elizabeth (top LR scores were 52s shot by Ryan Chute and Ben Chaine) and Gray-New Gloucester (top LR

shooters were Chute and Chaine, each again posting 52s, while Evan Kellough fired a 60).

The Lakers improved to 2-8 on the season with a 6-1 victory over Waynflete. Chute defeated his opponent by nine strokes, shooting a 39. Other LR winners were Chaine 49-57, Allen 49-53; LR gained two forfeits with Kellough shooting a 68 and David Scammon a 65.

Fryeburg Academy dropped a 6-1 decision to Yarmouth. Van Thanh Nguyen won the lone match, firing a 45 to win by two strokes. What they shot: Ben Bailey 45, Jiaming Zhang 49, Andy Berg 58, Brad Kim 53 and Paul Drew 52 (lost by a shot). Team medal: Yarmouth 173-191. Fryeburg fell to 3-6.

VOLLEYBALL The Lakers were shut out by 3-0 by Cape Elizabeth and Gorham.

(Continued from Page C)

You could see that momentary disappointment on their faces, but we did comeback,” Coach Frost said.

The Raiders didn’t panic.

They responded.

With 16:46 left, Christina DiPietro scored to give the Raiders a cushion. Bacchiocchi would ice it with a goal with 5:24 remaining.

“That goal (by Christina) was huge. You know the game could have taken a turn the other way.

If they had tied it, there’s always the possibility that players then

start to doubt their abilities. Field hockey is as much a mental game as it is skill. Thankfully, we regrouped and came back together and scored,” Coach Frost said.

Although the final score read 4-1, the Raiders were in a much tighter game than what the numbers said. Improvement was seen in all parts of the Raiders’ game, but their coach believes this team can be even better — hopefully, hitting its full stride once the playoffs begin.

“Twice today, we got back to playing Fryeburg hockey.

Sometimes in the first half, we had some great passing and showed our breakaway speed.

Then, the last 10 minutes of the game we started to move the ball well and took advantage of our speed,” Coach Frost said.

“It came and went. There were moments of beauty and glory, and moments of very average,

scuttle butt, not knowing where we should be play.”

Yet, Coach Frost knows her club had beaten a quality opponent (ranked second at the time).

“They’re (Falmouth) used to playing on turf where they move the ball very fast. Today, it was important for us to get to them before they could pass off.

Cutting to the ball is huge. Who can get to that ball first? Who wants it more? That’s where it was won. You can’t do anything if you can’t get the ball,” Coach Frost said. “One of our goals was to cut to the ball and not allow them to move the ball quickly — try to keep control of the ball and anticipate. We did that at times.”

Falmouth had an advantage in penalty corner chances, but the Raiders defended their end very well all afternoon.

“It wasn’t as if they had a lot of scoring chances, we just kept making mistakes that gave them another chance. I saw some fatigue. It was interesting to see that we had some people get out to the ball really fast, but couldn’t finish the play. Again, it was a learning lesson,” the coach said.

The hectic game schedule may have brought a little fatigue to the Raider ranks. Hoping to keep the team fresh, both mentally and physically, Coach Frost did

Chelcie Murch

Jamie Gullikson

Name: Chelcie Murch Year in School: Senior Town: Naples Parents: Lena Murch and Scott Johnson School Activities/Sports: Field hockey Q. Why did you choose field hockey? CM. In fourth grade, I wanted to try field hockey because I never played it before and I’ve been in love with the sport ever since.

Q. What do you hope to accomplish this season? CM. This season, I hope our team makes it to the playoffs (Ed. Note: if the season ended today, the Lakers would indeed qualify for the tournament).

Q. What do you enjoy the most? CM. I enjoy how close our team is. We’re like a family.

Q. What do you like the least? CM. During the game, sometimes when we work as individuals. Everyone has so much talent, we just need to work together.

Q. What makes you/or the team successful? CM. When we communicate.

Q. What would your dream moment be? CM. Defeat our rival team.

Q. What has field hockey taught you? CM. Field hockey has taught me perseverance.

Q. Who has inspired you? CM. Lauren Gillespie has inspired me because she’s an amazing field hockey player and works hard. She’s taught me a lot of things that I know about field hockey.

Kimberly Gullikson School groups/Sports: Soccer, Indoor Track and Field, Outdoor Track and Field, National Honor Society.

Q. Why did you choose soccer? JG. I chose soccer because I have been playing it since kindergarten. I love the smell of the grass and the sound of kicking a ball. I love the competitiveness of the sport and how if you slip in one second it can change the game.

Soccer is exciting and exhilarating. I can’t imagine a September when I’m not playing.

Q. What do you hope to accomplish this season? JG. This season, I hope to reach the playoffs. The rules of the league were changed this year, allowing more teams in. Our team is currently ranked ninth, and we are looking strong. I think that we have a definite chance of making it to the playoffs.

Q. What do you enjoy the most? JG. It’s hard to say exactly what I love the most because there are many things. However, when I’m running down the field in a game and I’m beating my opponent, that feeling of strength, is something I really enjoy. I remember in the Gray-New Gloucester game, I was running my heart out and I never seemed to get tired. I just felt so strong and I wish everyone could feel this because it’s truly amazing.

Q. What do enjoy the least? JG. Practices. Maxis. As much as I love feeling strong, working out is no fun at all. My coach, during preseason, made us run two to three miles every morning. We work out in the gym and we run suicides on the field. The whole team hates this, but we can appreciate it. It makes us stronger.

Q. What makes you successful? JG. Again, I would have to say that it’s the strength and endurance that makes the team successful.

However, the team possesses so much more than that. The other day, my coach said that soccer requires three things — brains, speed and skill. He said that anyone could play a good soccer game and only engage two out of the three of those things. I think that we use all of them. All of us have speed and endurance, we have good ball skills and we have the brains to know what to do. Our hard work has made us good, but it’s our effort and desire to win that has made us successful.

Q. What would your dream moment be? JG. My dream moment would be to get into playoffs and to advance, not necessarily to state championship, but far up the ladder. I think that the team definitely has the skill, we just have to keep our heads in it and be the best we can be. I think that the team deserves to go to the playoffs, together

team when school started.

Q. What do you hope to accomplish this season? EK. I would like to accomplish some consistency in my swing and just play the best I can.

Q. What do you enjoy the most? EK. I enjoy the peace and quiet you don’t get from other sports, like hockey and lacrosse.

Q. What do you like the least? EK. When it rains.

Q. What makes you successful? EK. A good coach and practicing good habits.

Q. What would your dream moment be? EK. Just being able to play varsity and play the game for my school is good, but my dream moment is doing great for my team.

Q. What has the sport taught you? EK. It has taught me that sports aren’t about being perfect, it’s about playing the game and the practice BLOCK ATTEMPT — Lake Region’s Kelsey Winslow nearly you put into it.

Q. Who has inspired you? EK. My coach’s dedication to the sport blocks a return shot during varsity volleyball action.

had two hits, and Zachary Littman (Abington, Mass.), Brian Nessing (Manchester, Conn.) and Stephen Russell (Nassau, Bahamas) all added singles.

On the mound, Walker O’Connor (Bedford, Mass.) pitched five innings with six strikeouts. Cam Charette (Wenham, Mass.) and Ammad Kahn (New Britian, Conn.) came in to close out the game.

Both pitched one inning with three strikeouts apiece.

The baseball team then traveled to Lynn, Mass. and faced off against the University of Vermont’s club team and tallied a 7-1 win. George Seigel (Concord, N.H.) pitched five innings and struck out six.

Charrete and Khan each pitched for an inning of relief.

Ryan Iasiello (Westborough, Mass.) had the defensive play of the day as he threw a runner out at home plate on an amazing assist from right field.

At the plate, Rogers had a pair of singles and a run scored to start things off. Nick Swim (St. Albans, Vt.) added a hit and a RBI while Danny Wynne (Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.) had a booming double off the fence in centerfield. P. Iasiello secured the win when he made contact for a three-run homer.

we work so hard and together we will succeed.

Q. What has sports taught you? Sports have taught me so much.

Soccer, in particular, has taught me to be a team player, and to trust the other girls.

Q. What do you like most about your team? JG. I like how much effort and passion everyone on the team has for the sport and to win. I think that if we lacked this, we wouldn’t be ranked ninth right now. The team has worked hard to get where we are and I admire this about all of us. On the field, everyone puts everything they have, plus some, into the game.

Q. Who has inspired you? JG. My parents, Mike and Kim Gullikson, have inspired me to do sports. Ever since a young age, they were driving me all over the state for this tournament and that game, and they didn’t complain. They said as long as I put my heart into the sport, the driving was worth it. They’ve also kept me going when I get frustrated, at myself, at the other team, at the referees; they don’t let me give up even when I want to. During off-seasons, they encourage me; make me run. My parents know I don’t want to fail, so they do their best to keep me from that, and for that, I love them and thank them. I don’t know if I would be who I am today, athletics or otherwise, without them.

Nobles and Greenough to start off their week and played a very physical and technical game.

Although Bridgton dominated play for the first 15 minutes, Nobles was able to sneak by and secure their first goal of the game. Bridgton had a chance with a penalty kick in the first half, but Nobles’ goaltender was able to make a spectacular save to keep Bridgton off the scoreboard. Nobles gained control of the game, and tallied three more goals for a final score of 4-0.

The Wolverines then took to the field against Bowdoin College’s JV team this past weekend and held the Polar Bears to a 2-2 game.

Peter Ventola (Salem, N.H.) played a strong game for the Wolverines as he scored twice to keep Bridgton in the lead for most of the game.

With only 90 seconds left in regulation play, Bowdoin was able to sneak in the tying goal.

Bridgton had many opportunities to extend their lead, but as Coach Ashenfelter commented afterwards, “We could not quite capitalize on the goal-scoring opportunities we did well to create.”

Lax report The BA lacrosse team was able to turn their season around this week as they dominated Dean College with a 13-1 victory. The team played a disciplined game and moved the ball.

Additionally, Bridgton was able to capitalize on many of Dean’s sloppy plays. Dean was able to slip one goal past Bridgton with four minutes left in the game, but was otherwise stopped by Bridgton’s defense led by Chris Gibaldi (Rocky Point, N.Y.), Chris Nabors (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Korin Sunday (Hogansburg, N.Y.), Walt Hinnent (WinstonSalem, N.C.), Bryson Weberg (Parksville, B.C.), Dan Duffy (Wakefield, R.I.) and Able Warden (Johnson, Vt.).

Tyler Abernathy (WinstonSalem, N.C.) started off in net for the Wolverines and made six saves, while Chris Smith (Montclair, N.J.) tallied 15 saves between the pipes.

On offense, Bridgton peppered Dean’s goaltender with shots, 13 of which made it past.

The offensive attack was lead by Jake Johnson (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) with three goals, Ryan O’Sullivan (Centerville, Va.), Nick Gorrasi (Sandwich, Mass.) and Lawrence Dee (Charlotte, Vt.) with two, and Teddy Wright (Copiague, N.Y.), Cullen Reinartz (Ada, MI), Duffy, and Chris Dolewa (Saco) with one apiece.

Bridgton also dominated the face-offs in the game, winning 15 of 17. Tony Marcella (Bridgton) and Christian Houk (Tivoli, N.Y.) each won six while Wright claimed three.

Coach Bamann was thrilled with the performance saying, “We had a much better outing than the week before. We played a skilled game and it carried us past Dean.”

Grid report This week the football team traveled down to Worcester, Mass. to face the College of the Holy Cross. It wasn’t looking good for either spread offenses with heavy rain making passing the ball an adventure. Bridgton came out early and succeeded in establishing the run game with their two workhorses, Sean Reed (Plainsboro, N.J.) and leading BA rusher for the game, Josh Morales (Mount Sinai, N.Y.). The two combined for 90 out of the 130 total rushing yards for the day.

Despite the weather, Bridgton’s quarterbacks and receivers found a way to get the job done with 179 total passing yards and two touchdowns through the air and one rushing touchdown, a tribute to the offensive line that only gave up one sack all day.

Bridgton was the first to break through on the scoreboard with a pass from Mike Luks (Amherst, N.H.) to Derek Beck (Martinsville, N.J.) for a touchdown. The Wolverines then converted their first field goal of the season by Mitch Graziano (Kingston, Mass.) to make the score 10-0.

However, Holy Cross wasn’t about to roll over. Before the half, the Crusaders put a score on the board to make it 10-7 going into the locker room.

Coming out in the second half, the Wolverines continued to be consistent scoring two

FRYEBURG — Garrett Cummings wants to help his school community.

A member of Boy Scout Troop 155 in Lovell, the eighth grader at Molly Ockett Middle School decided to collect school supplies as part of his Second Class rank community project. Garrett received donations from Norway Savings Bank, Spice and Grain, LLC and several other individuals.

He went to a couple yard sales looking for backpacks and book bags. After laundering them, Garrett placed the items into boxes. To date, Garrett has collected items filling three large boxes.

John Carter, charter representative of Troop 155 and the Lovell United Church of Christ, suggested this would be a great project to continue each year, and by involving others, the effort could serve as Garrett’s Eagle Scout project.

SCOUT SEARCH FOR ITEMS — Boy Scout Troop 155 member Garrett Cummings is pictured with boxes of school supplies that he has either found at yard sales or had donated by area businesses, which is part of a community service project. He is pictured here with Molly Ockett Middle School Principal Jay Robinson.

Interact joins ‘Q for Cure’ effort

FRYEBURG — Q Cans For A Cure is the biggest fundraiser of the year for radio station WJBQ 97.9 of Portland. The Fryeburg Academy Interact Club has been asked by the radio station to help raise funds via can donations and/or cash donations during the month of October and then will take their donations to the live drop off at the Maine Mall.

Every October, the Q Morning Show undertakes a very special approach to raising money

for Breast Cancer Research, by holding the largest bottle drive in Maine with Meredith, Jeff and Lori setting up camp, day and night, at the Maine Mall until the goal is met! WJBQ has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through the years, and are proud to report all monies raised stay in Maine! Q 97.9 has won the “Outreach and Education Award” and multiple Maine Association of Broadcaster awards for best public service with this event.

This event has become very per-

sonal for Jeff this year, who announced recently that he is fighting cancer himself.

People that would like to contribute may drop off their returnable cans and bottles at Fryeburg Academy from Oct. 114. The Interact Club will have a drop box located next to the Industrial Arts building, which is next to the football field. Oct. 1 is Homecoming for Fryeburg Academy, and the club hopes that the community coming to the game will bring their return-

ables with them!

For anyone who is not able to bring returnables, but would still like to make a donation, please make checks payable to The Maine Cancer Foundation, and drop them off at the Box Office of the Performing Arts Center during school hours.

For more information about this event as well as other activities the Fryeburg Academy Interact Club is involved with, contact Sarah MacGillivray at 207-935-9232 or Diane Reo at

Golf: Tourney benefits Seton House GOOD TO BE SAFE — All students at Songo Locks Elementary School in Naples recently were taught how to be safe and helpful community members in common areas throughout the building.

In Tony’s memory DENMARK — When Angel “Tony” Torres was a junior at Framingham State College, he won a basketball tournament trophy for raising the most money for a homeless shelter.

“We know he was trying to make a difference,” said Tony’s mother, Ramona.

Tony disappeared 12 years ago, and his body has never been located. Ramona and her husband, Narciso, plan to run in their son’s memory this Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Maine Marathon/Half Marathon in Portland.

“We thought it will be a good way to promote positive things about our son. Angel, he loved people and wanted to make a difference,” said Ramona, who is in the process of creating a fund to help those in need.

“We are going to start a fund to adopt a needy family in our community to help them during hard times and the holiday season.”

Bridgton Highlands In Ladies Day play last Wednesday, a “string scramble” was played. The winning team consisted of Carolyn Stanhope, Jan Wall, Linda Munger and Vivian Howard.

Names were drawn for the

more touchdowns — one on a connection from Steven Cronan (Hampton, N.H.) to Austin Harrington (Chanhassen, MN) and the second a rush from the Cronan.

The Bridgton defense was ready for Holy Cross allowing no offensive points. The

only points scored by Holy Cross in the second half was an interception return for a touchdown. It was an all around defensive effort, headed up by the defensive line, Jeff Amell (Bar Mills), Will Wowkanyn (Brick, N.J.) and Landon Moore (Saratoga, N.Y.) who consistently put pressure on the Holy Cross backfield.

“I’m pleased with the progress the team made in all three areas of the game this week,” said BA Head Coach Rick Marcella. “That said, one look at the video will tell us that there is a long way yet to go. Weekly improvement will always remain our goal.”

This weekend, Bridgton Academy is happy to host family and friends from all over for Parents’ Weekend. As part of the celebration, each team will have a home game.

The baseball team will start things off with a game on Friday at 3 p.m. against Central Maine Community College.

On Saturday, the lacrosse team will play Navy Prep at 1 p.m.; the soccer team will play Bowdoin at 3 p.m.; and the Junior A hockey team will play the New England Wolves at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, BA will round out Parents’ Weekend with the football team playing Merrimack College JV at 1 p.m., and the Junior B hockey team playing the New England Wolves at 3 p.m.

My Odyssey Facing death, finding grace

Editor’s note: The Greater Bridgton Clergy Association held the first of a five-week series of talks Monday at Bridgton Alliance Church on Route 117 on issues of death and dying. The first talk, by Larry Greer of Hospice of Southern Maine, dealt with the spirituality of death and dying. The following is a personal take on that issue by Bridgton News staff writer Gail Geraghty.

We’ve heard it said: people are dying all around me.

That’s how I feel, and have felt for a long time.

It started with my brother Shawn’s suicide in 1997 at a parking lot rest stop in West Haven, Conn. Then came the death of my mother five years ago, my ex-husband last September, and my uncle less than a month ago. I wasn’t there for my brother, but I took care of the other three, and was with them when they died.

By the time my brother died, I’d already lost my grandparents and my father. But Shawn’s death was a real shocker.

He took a long knife and slit both his wrists and his throat, and then somehow managed to stab himself in the stomach. The police thought it was a homicide at first; seldom had they seen such a sheer willful determination to die.

I’ll never forget the moment the staff at the county morgue wheeled his body beside the plate-glass window, when my sister and I went to claim his body. It was my first good look at death. The stark unperfumed kind.

At first I didn’t recognize him, and even when I did, he still wasn’t there. The animating force had left his body. All at once it hit me; my poor, long-suffering schizophrenic brother, never was this body.

Without his life force, his spirit, all I was looking at was a hunk of flesh.

I got an instant and intense acid attack, and turned and fled.

Weeks later, I found solace from a psychic who said she saw him curled up in a cocoon. He might stay that way for a while, she said gently, before his soul can move on. Still later, as I thrashed in bed, wondering why? Why? WHY? — John Lennon’s song, Darling Sean penetrated my despair, and suddenly Shawn was singing to me. I was sure of it. “Every day, in every way, it’s getting better and better.”

Fast-forward three years, and my mother gets Alzheimer’s. I take her into my home, care for her until I cannot care for myself, then care for her some more. It nearly destroys me, but that’s another story. I want to focus on facing the reality of death, because it’s a good thing, really. Damn difficult and so depressing. But ultimately it leads to grace, because it forces us to look within. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go gracefully than kicking and screaming. I can still remember the terror that consumed me when I realized, at around age 10, that someday I would die. In that moment, my dance with death began — but it is not how it will end.

Seven years after her Long Goodbye began, my mother Margaret Geraghty died in 2007. The staff at Hospice House in Auburn, run

The man in the mirror

We got some news a few weeks back, the kind that generates a restrained, I’m-happyprobably-but-have-questions sort of, “Huh…wow…really?” response. Like when I was little

by S. Peter Lewis and my parents invited friends over for supper and instead of News Columnist bearing the typical potted plant or seasonal dish towel as a little gift, our guests presented Mom peculiar and shouted, “Don’t and Dad with two ducklings in nobody move!” We men stood a shoebox. “Huh…wow…realstill, while my wife, of course, ly?” my Dad said. (My sister that a few moved. She turned around and and I were, of course, thrilled.) m i n u t e s stared at us for a few seconds So anyway, that’s the kind of e a r l i e r and then said, “Huh…wow… news we got — not the “I have w o u l d really?” The three of us, you to sit down right now!” kind, have seemed pretty far-fetched, see, were leaning against the but rather the kind where you’re like moving to Toledo. counter exactly the same way: suddenly contemplating options The point of all this isn’t the arms folded (right over left), news itself (which, as it turns feet crossed (left over right), out was quite delightful — like shoulders tilted at the same baby ducks, but without the angle, same slight smile, same droppings), but what happened far-away look in our eyes — after the news, which has a lot three generations of Lewis men to do with how the men in my contemplating a pot roast. This family lean against counters. I may be the origin of the whole, “like father, like son” thing. suppose I should explain that.

So, a few days after we all One day, probably 10 years ago, the three Lewis men (my got the news I mentioned in Dad, me and my son) were all the opening paragraph, my son in the kitchen waiting for one (all grown up now, with his Lewis lady (my lovely wife), to own lovely pot-roast-roasting pull something delicious from wife) called to talk to me about the oven. During a lull in the it. Not to have a discussion, waiting, I noticed something but to talk to me — this was

going to be a bit one-sided.

He felt I needed some shoring up and encouragement, some advice from a guy who’d been around the barn a few times and understood the importance of clear thinking, self-control, and a soft touch. “Dad, here’s what you should do…” he began, and for the next 10 minutes I was riveted. It was the most mature, most sensitive, most reasoned and measured, simply the wisest, most far-thinking and balanced counsel I’d ever heard. And after I hung up the phone, I got that far-away look in my eye again. “And he’s only 26,” I whispered into the empty room.

When a man gets a son, his first hope is that his new little boy will just survive, that he’ll simply live through the ordeals of boyhood (falling out of trees, blowing things up, girls) and come out the other side in one piece. But over time, that hope grows into something much greater, a dream that the boy will do well. Like the old P.F. Flyers sneaker slogan, we want our boys to “run faster, jump higher.” We want them to be better men, not just than their peers, but better men than we are. We want this because our sons are really just us all over again. They’re another chance for us to grow into the men that we wished we were.

I sent my boy a letter after he talked to me, and quoted Proverbs 1:5, “A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” I told him what an honor and a blessing and a comfort it was for me to know that if I ever needed advice, all I had to do was pick up the phone and call my son.

Letters

Name clarification

To The Editor: Apparently, there are two Joseph Angelos living in Bridgton, the one (Joseph W. Angelo of Chickadee Lane) who wrote the letter published Sept. 15 titled, “A More Perfect Union,” and myself Joseph R. Angelo. With no disrespect to the former, I would like to make it known that I do not share his views and my opinions, in fact, are probably 180 degrees opposite.

Although I do not wish to debate his letter paragraph for paragraph, I would like to address the part on rugged individualists. I was born the son of an immigrant mother and first generation Italian American father, who worked hard and long to insure their family was well provided for and that an opportunity to attend college was afforded myself, as well as my three siblings. Although I don’t consider myself a rugged individualist, I do believe that through a strong work ethic and a willingness to better oneself, many things can be accomplished and that each generation of a family is responsible for the

next generation. By doing this, entire families can raise themselves from poverty to a better standard of living. Working for my father in his tile business at a young age, I was taught that having pride in what you do and working hard was what mattered most. I also taught my own son this and if you were to ask him what made him successful he would say the work ethic he inherited from his parents. I do believe the Preamble of the Constitution when it states, “We the People, For the People” etc. and that we are bound by this as well as morally to help those less fortunate. We must embrace and support those who are incapable of work, but to just give to everyone who feels he or she is entitled without putting an effort into helping themselves and giving back to society, is wrong and only serves to weaken the country. There is no hard work and no pride sitting on your backside waiting for your government check. I believe this was true of the 19th and 20th centuries and should also be true for the 21st century.

Look around and you will see there are still many hard-working parents working like us, our parents and our grandparents to provide a better life for future generations.

Irene Morton

To The Editor: In regards to your front page story this past week, “Irene Morton vs. the Town of Casco,” I’ve known Irene for over 50 years, and she is very kindhearted and willing to help about anybody. She’s been on the Casco Rescue for a good many years and has helped many people. Most everyone that has been hurt or sick in the Town of Casco has had her beside them, one time or another, in the unit.

She was on the Rescue when it was all volunteer, no money involved. She probably did more runs in the unit than most of the others that were on the Rescue, whether it was day or night.

Seems to me, the Casco Board of Selectmen should take a look into the Casco Rescue and see if anything is going on that shouldn’t be. I think the Board of Selectmen should give Irene a vote of confidence, and David Morton, as personnel director and town manager, should look into things before they get this far. I would think this would be a part of his job, maybe not, but it should be somebody’s job.

To all residents of Casco that Irene has helped and comforted, let’s hear your voice and speak up for her — e-mail the town office, the selectmen or call and voice your opinion.

Schools

To The Editor: What is going on with the schools? Who decides what our children learn in school?

What is now being taught won’t necessarily get your new graduate any work. If the schools would only teach something to the students that they could use in life to find a career, the unemployment numbers would go down much lower. What happened to teaching children math, geometry and especially basic physics? Why is it mandatory for our American children to learn foreign languages when they are lacking in English, handwriting and spelling? I am a business owner and I receive many applications for work, most of which I can’t even read due to poor penmanship or obvious lack of education.

How many young people today know anything about interest rates and how they affect everything you buy on credit? Ask them if they even know the percentage interest they are paying on their auto loan or credit card.

We should not only be very concerned with the lack of manufacturing companies in this country, but also the lack of skilled manual workers.

How many of our teenagers who graduate have done manual labor of any kind? Most of them go to college with the dream of sitting behind a big desk with a computer, someday. Where are the future machinists, electricians and plumbers going to come from? Are our young people trained and prepared to fill the jobs that are available now and in the future?

I urge you to contact your governor and/or representatives (287-1400) to make changes in our education system that will benefit your children and our country’s future.

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor Did you know that Medicare now covers the full cost of the following preventive care services? If your doctor “accepts assignment” from Medicare, you pay nothing, even if you have not yet met your Part B deductible.

Services include: Annual wellness visit; “Welcome to Medicare” wellness visit; Hepatitis B vaccine; pneumonia vaccine; flu shot; PSA test for prostate cancer screening; fecal occult blood test and flexible sigmoidoscopy for colon cancer screening; Pap smears; pelvic exams; clinical breast exams; screening mammograms; bone mass measurement; blood tests for heart disease; Medical Nutritional Therapy; diabetes screening.

The Medicare Rights Center warns that it’s important to make sure you follow Medicare’s rules for receiving these preventive services to ensure that Medicare will cover them at 100 percent. Some of these services are covered only once every few years and others

are only covered if you meet specific criteria. If you are in a Medicare Advantage plan, you may have to pay deductibles and co-pays for these preventive services in 2011. However, Medicare Advantage cannot charge you anything for the flu or pneumonia vaccine. In addition, Medicare Advantage plans cannot require that you get a referral in order to get a screening mammogram or a flu shot. Check with your plan to see how it covers preventive services. Starting in 2012, Medicare Advantage plans will not be allowed to charge a copay or deductible for any of the services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services task force as long as you see an in-network doctor.

Making the climb up Mount Jasper

There are a lot of things I want to do “someday.” One has been exploring an ancient mine on Mount Jasper in Berlin, N.H. Long-postponed somedays are here now since I decided last spring to cap my teaching career at 36 years. So, a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I climbed to the top of Mount Jasper’s southwest-facing cliff, then carefully threaded our way down to an old cave. It’s a manmade cave that took thousands of years to hack into a seam of multi-colored jasper. The material is also called rhyolite and it threaded diagonally up the exposed ledge of the mountain after forming over a hundred million years ago.

For years, I’ve been finding stone artifacts and flakes left by prehistoric inhabitants of the Fryeburg area, many of which I noticed were made from distinctive kinds of stone.

Online, I learned some of it was a material called rhyolite from a source near the upper Androscoggin River in Berlin.

Available evidence indicates that early Americans discovered it there and have been extracting tool-making material from this cave for about nine thousand years.

The first I’d learned of the mine was in a column by Ed Parsons in The Conway Daily Sun back in 1998 or ’99.

Parsons writes mostly about hiking, and it seems he’s been up nearly every hill and mountain in the area. Included was a photo of the City of Berlin taken from top of the ledge above the mine. That’s when I made up mind to go there someday and check it out.

Two things made this a trip my wife and I could enjoy together. One, it involved rocks, which we both like. Two, it involved hiking, which isn’t one of my passions, though I do it occasionally because she likes it. “Just to get to the top” doesn’t motivate me to walk up a steep hill for hours. If there’s a pegmatite mine on top, that would be some incitement, but

Front Row Seat

that kind of mine is common in this part of the world and there are many I can drive to. If there were old cellar holes to examine on the way up a hill, that would motivate me too, but if there’s just a nice view, well, there are lots of nice views around I could drive to and enjoy with a sip of wine without getting all tired and sweaty climbing up and down. The historical significance of the Mount Jasper mine, and that it’s one of the oldest human-made sites in the whole northeast, excited me greatly and it was only about a half-hour hike up. All that put it near the top of the bucket list

for this retired history teacher.

I researched it as much as I could before going, of course, and learned that ancient Americans probably didn’t spend too much time on site.

Evidence uncovered thus far indicates that they went to replenish their tool supply.

They would chisel out pieces of jasper/rhyolite, lug them to the top of the ledge or down to the bottom near the Dead River, and begin working them into tools like spear points, arrowheads, knives, scrapers and drills. Sometimes they would make cores, or rough chunks, which they would lug EXCAVATION K.S. Whitney Excavation Sitework – Septic Systems Materials delivered Kevin 207-647-3824

September 29, 2011, The Bridgton News, Page D back to their settlements to further knap into the finished tools listed above. The flakes I found in Fryeburg were a result of this process.

Those who made finished tools there would sometimes discard their worn-out knives or arrowheads made of stone they’d gotten elsewhere in the northeast — like Mount Kineo or Munsungan Lake, Maine. These were found in the two working areas above and below the mine, which were partially excavated by archaeologist Michael Gramly, whom I’d had the good fortune to meet while visiting in Oquossoc, Maine and talk to for two hours. He strongly encouraged me to make the trip to Mount Jasper.

When first glimpsing the entrance to the cave, we noticed pieces of rhyolite strewn about and exposed to the elements.

Material on the walls of the mine inside was not weathered and showed different colors ranging from red, blue and green to gray. I’d found both weathered and unweathered artifacts and flakes of Mount LAWN MAINTENANCE August Lawn Mowing Commercial & residential Field mowing Gary & Aaron Silverblade 452-2989 Chapman’s Lawn & Yard Works Mowing - Cleanup - Brush Cutting Debris removal – Bark mulch Blaine Chapman 647-5255

Jasper rhyolite in Fryeburg, and I’d carried some to the mine with me for comparison.

I shouldn’t have been surprised that the rhyolite would change its appearance after weathering. Old stonewalls turn gray after little more than a century while newly-dug-up stone looks distinctively different and contrasts older stones when added to an alreadyexisting wall. Some of the rhyolite artifacts I’ve found had been lying around a long time.

Others seem to have been covered by soil shortly after the knapping process and retained their fresh appearance. I found these latter while examining freshly plowed and harrowed fields after a rain.

In my research, I learned there’s another, even older site near Mount Jasper in Jefferson, N.H. where a similar kind of rhyolite was being knapped twelve thousand years ago. The “someday” I explore there will likely arrive later this fall.

To The Editor: President George Washington advised against political parties in his farewell address. He probably would advise against labels such as Conservative and Liberal except he had both in his own cabinet. The Conservative wants to maintain the status quo. Things were good in the old days, so why change them?

The Conservative would limit government (with concomitant lower taxes) in the name of personal liberty. In the good old days, we had child labor. Ask the boy in the mines or the girl in the textile mills about the good old days. Then, ask the mine and the mill owner about the good old days.

Liberals look through a different lens. The Liberal view would be articulated by the late

Congressman Paul Ryan put a budget on the table. So did President Obama. Now, it is time for politicians to roll up their sleeves and produce a budget that is in the best interest of the American people. Senator Mitch McConnell sees his mission to insure that President Obama is a one-term president.

Not much room for compromise there. Okay, let President Obama serve one term. The problem with Senator McConnell’s logic is: A.) President Obama was elected by a majority to serve a full four-year term, and B.) We will not see the results of LETTERS, Page D

Senator Robert Kennedy who held that, “Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?”

In today’s political discourse, a couple of things are noteworthy. First, we are governed by fewer than 15% of the population in America. Do the math.

Start with 55-plus percent of those eligible to vote, actually vote. Factor the winners and losers. Then consider those who vote for the winner — how many actually know exactly what they are voting for? We all can express our opinions but how many actually know what they are opining about.

Second, anyone who makes a statement today can expect a host of different points of view.

Not different opinions; rather different points of view. I live in Bridgton, and when I see the sun rise, I know which way east

Ada C. Wadsworth

Paul R. Dube

Scott M. Westberry, Sr.

HIRAM — Ada Cram Wadsworth, 100, of Hiram, passed away peacefully at her home on Sept. 21, 2011.

Ada was born in West Baldwin on Nov. 20, 1910, the daughter of Rudolph and Marceline Downing Cram. She attended Bridgton Academy and graduated from Colby College in 1931 with a teaching degree.

Ada met Paul Wadsworth while she was teaching at Fryeburg Academy, and they were happily joined in marriage on Feb. 14, 1935.

Ada and Paul established Old Homestead Farm in Hiram, where she enjoyed raising their family in a close-knit community. Many social gatherings were held at their home, formerly the Spring House, est. 1795.

Ada was an active member of the Hiram Congregational Church, a past matron of the Eastern Star, and an active member of the Mt. Cutler Grange. She was proud of being the librarian at Soldiers Memorial Library in Hiram for many years. Ada had fond memories of her time at Fryeburg Academy, which now bears her name on the Ada Cram Wadsworth Arena.

Ada was predeceased by her husband of 56 years; her two brothers, Bion and Howard Cram.

She is survived by two daughters, Ruth Payne of Hiram and Mary Lowatchie of Falmouth; her four grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

A graveside service was held on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Hiram Village Cemetery. Pastor William Rankin officiated. Arrangements were

by Watson, Neal & York Funeral Home, Cornish.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Hospice of Southern Maine, 180 U.S. Route 1, Scarborough, ME 04074.

SCARBOROUGH — Paul R. Dube, 92, of Scarborough, passed away early Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011, at the Gosnell Hospice in Scarborough.

He was born in Nashua, N.H., on Sept. 2, 1919, the son of Napoleon (Paul) and Delia (Renaud) Dube. His mother died when he was a teenager.

He attended New Hampshire parochial schools and joined the Civil Conservation Corps where he helped build hiking trails in Maine. He then joined the U.S. Army in 1941 serving in WW II as a medic. He served at the 124th EVAC Hospital in France and Germany. After his discharge, he served 19 years in the National Guard.

He was stationed at Ft. Williams in Cape Elizabeth, when he met his wife Lena Quatrano at a USO dance. They were married on Aug. 2, 1942. They lived in the Portland neighborhood known as “Little Italy” surrounded by Lena’s parents and her 10 siblings on Little Middle Street. In 1965, they built their home in Scarborough beside Lena’s sister, Kiki.

Paul worked as a smoke stack cleaner for Chicago Bridge and traveled extensively, sometimes alone and sometimes taking the family with him. They lived in Tennessee and Florida for short periods of time. He also worked at the Portland Company and retired from General Electric as a welde in 1978.

For many years after his retirement, you could find him at the Maine Mall every day with several of his close friends. They would walk the Mall and sample any free samples put out by the nutrition store that they immediately judged to be awful as they made their way back to McDonald’s. His buddies called him the “Mayor of the Mall.”

His family was his number one love and many celebrations were held at his home in Scarborough. Every Sunday was “Dube Day.” He loved talking war stories with anyone who would listen and especially liked to compare Army to Navy with his son Butch.

He always had a garden full of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and zucchini that he shared.

Paul was predeceased by his parents; brothers, Romeo, Raymond and Ludger, his sister, Pauline Akey; his wife, Lena Quatrano Dube; his son, Paul (Butchie) R. Dube Jr.; and grandson.

He is survived by his daughter, Delia (Dee) Foley of Portland; his son, Raymond J. Dube of Scarborough; his beloved brother, Roland Dube of Nashua, N.H.; and five grandchildren including James E. Foley III of Naples; and 12 great-grandchildren including James E. Foley IV, Nicholas Foley and Andrew P. Foley of Naples; and many nieces, nephews and grandnieces and nephews.

Visitation was held at Conroy-Tully Crawford, South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland on Saturday, Sept. 24.

Prayer services were held immediately following with burial at Calvary Cemetery, South Portland.

Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.ctcrawford.com At the family’s request, memorial donations may be made to the Gosnell Hospice of Scarborough.

To The Editor: This year, 101 New York City children found out once again just how special summer is in southern Maine. Fresh Air Fund hosts, volunteers and local supporters dedicated their time and efforts to help these inner-city youngsters experience simple summertime pleasures, including afternoons of swimming, fishing at sunset and roasting s’mores over a campfire.

None of this would be possible without Lisa Clement, your local Fresh Air Fund volunteer leader, who works throughout the year to make sure host families and children have the opportunity to enjoy memorable summertime experiences together. I invite you to join Lisa Clement and the local Fresh Air Fund committee to help spread the word about the wonderful opportunity of hosting next summer.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.

HUNGER WALK — “Rise Up and Walk For Hunger” took place last Saturday, sponsored by the Bridgton Alliance Church. The course was six miles long and each participant sought sponsorship for this event. All the funds raised will help to support area pantries with much needed food from Good Shepherd Food-Bank. On hand, taking part in the event were representatives from three Lake Region pantries. Representing the Bridgton UMC Food Pantry, Deb Davenport; Dave Moore, from CrossWalk Community Outreach’s Food Basket pantry in Naples; Theda Logan, coordinator for the Casco Village Food Pantry; and Joanna Moore from CrossWalk’s Food Basket pantry. CrossWalk’s Dave Moore and Pastor Ed Boon of the Bridgton Alliance Church tied for a first place finish over the six-mile course.

Foodland in Naples once again hosted a benefit for the Lake Region High School Project Graduation 2012 event. On Friday, Sept. 2, Dave donated 10% of all pizza sales to Project Grad, while members of the committee offered samples of locally-roasted Swift River coffee and sold raffle tickets for a family ski pass donated by Shawnee Peak ski area.

Project Grad parents appreciate Dave’s continued generosity, as well as the generosity of other businesses like Shawnee Peak and all the folks who purchased pizza, coffee and raffle tickets as they listened to music from The Disclaimers.

At Lake Region High School, parents and guardians are responsible for raising funds to host the Project Grad event, which is a chemical-free alternative to a graduation celebration.

No school funds are designated for this event. For that reason, efforts of local businesses are truly appreciated.

Our next major event is the Hollyberry Craft Fair on Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Get a head start on your holiday shopping and support this worthwhile cause.

Facing death

(Continued from Page D) passion. This time there was no plate glass separation between me and my loved one; I lay unable to sleep in the guest bed in her room, listening for what seemed like an eternity to her labored breathing. It was sheer agony, and I was a mess; still, I was determined to be there for her until the end.

I almost didn’t make it. I’d gone home for a short nap when my sister called, saying death was close. I arrived in time to lean in close and urge her toward the light. As her last breath came and went, her body convulsed mechanically, gulping phantom air — and I realized once more that the person I had loved all my life was no longer in the body before me. I lifted her hand by her wrist and let it fall back to the bed, limp and lifeless. It felt quite irreverent to validate her death like that, but of all people, I knew she wouldn’t mind. She taught me so much about life; what’s one more little lesson about the reality of death?

Her dementia was a blessing in that she was blissfully unaware, in her final years, of just how much she’d lost. That wasn’t the case with my ex-husband, Patrick Rossi, who died a painful, lucid death from bone cancer a year ago. My challenge in caring for him in my home the last year of his life was to stay loving in the face of his progressive suffering, which he sometimes took out on me. But with him I was more detached emotionally, and better equipped with practical experience and knowledge about the medical, financial and legal aspects of end-of-life care. I knew how to use the many awesome resources hospice care has to offer, and this freed me to focus on more spiritual matters, like love and forgiveness — both his and mine.

When the ambulance arrived to transfer him from my house to his daughter’s — where he died a month later — I could truly say I’d given my best.

You might think I’d had enough of death by then, but this past summer, my Uncle Phil Glidden arrived at the airport in a wheelchair from South Carolina following a stroke. His two daughters, both busy professionals, had no clue how to cope with an ill father, especially one they’d spent much of their adult lives trying to avoid. Hard as it was sometimes to deal with his put-downs and mean-spirited

methods of getting his own way, I had always put up with him, and even admired him — mostly because I valued his enormous intelligence and unwavering willingness to put it all on the line for a cause he believed in.

And there was something else: he was my last living elder with whom I had a close connection. After he was gone — tag, I’m it.

He wasn’t physically the man he was before, but he still had his mind and his incredible will, and he made good progress the first month in my house and. later, in the nursing home. If not for his incontinence, he might have managed to make enough gains to transition to assisted living.

And he was getting nicer, too.

But a month ago he suffered another massive stroke, destroying his ability to swallow, and it was downhill quickly from there.

He shook his head at first when they asked him if he wanted a feeding tube, but changed his mind after dehydration set in.

To die of thirst is the worst, they say, and I believe it. He looked horrible, and I felt helpless as I replayed in my imaginings having to revisit my battle over my mother’s care with the nursing home bureaucracy. The surgery at Bridgton Hospital was unsuccessful; they couldn’t stop him from aspirating into his lungs.

As I steeled myself for the worst, grace appeared, in the form of a hospital institution that — miracle of miracles — truly gets it when it comes to end-of-life care.

The staff didn’t send him back to the nursing home to die. They did everything in their power to make his final days as comfortable as possible. They did the big things, like giving him morphine, turning him constantly and keeping him dry. They did the little things, too; like putting a wet washcloth on his forehead, airpacks under his armpits, and fussing over the angle of elevation at the head of his bed.

As the family member standing vigil at his bedside, I was treated like a queen. Do you want some supper? Another pillow? More coffee? They parked a “comfort cart” stocked with snacks, soda, coffee, books and mostly religious or meditative CDs just outside the entrance to his room. When I told them my Uncle Phil was neither spiritual nor religious, but liked opera (his daughters’ mother was an opera

Opinions singer), they were delighted to offer a CD of opera music sung

by Frank Brautigam of Naples, a former patient.

It was also a comfort to the staff, said Sally Dunning, a nurse sitting at the nurses’ station, to hear Frank’s tenor voice coming from my uncle’s nearby room, offering the gifts of his loving soul to someone preparing to pass over. I later learned that Frank raised white rock doves and would release them at funerals, as a symbol of those who have died before and will greet the departed loved one.

They say, with solid scientific reason, that a person’s hearing is the last sense to go, as death becomes imminent. I’d like to think that Frank finally replaced a symbol of himself, the doves, with his true self as he sang to my uncle — using the only means my uncle would understand to say it’s okay, you old atheist, I’ll help you find your way.

Just what my uncle found once his body stopped breathing, I cannot say. But each time I face the reality of death, I find more of myself in this life, in my spirit.

Future talks at the Bridgton Alliance Church, all of which take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m., will be as follows: Oct. 3, “Decision Making at the End of Life,” advance directives, power of attorney, advance care planning; Oct. 10, “How We Die,” basic physiology and disease process; Oct 17, “Personal Death Awareness:” and Oct. 24, “The Details of Dying,” funeral planning, cremation, green burial and legal issues.

Bath salts threat

Increasingly, more reports of the widespread abuse of the dangerous drug known as “bath salts” are rightfully alarming our Maine communities. In fact, the use of this illicit narcotic has been especially prevalent in the Bangor area, where, according to law enforcement officials, between one and three incidents of adverse reactions to the drug are called in on a daily basis.

The dangerous chemicals in the so-called bath salts, namely mephedrone and MDPV, are not officially regulated by the federal government and therefore controlling the sale and distribution of these highly destructive synthetic stimulants is difficult, if not impossible, and incredibly cost prohibitive.

Protecting our communities and neighborhoods from this epidemic will require close collaboration of federal, state and local resources to raise awareness and combat widespread distribution and abuse.

Human consumption of the synthetic drugs like mephedrone and MDPV have been linked to serious health

Letters to editor

(Continued from Page D) time it ran wild was during the 1920s and 30s, when it nearly destroyed the world through the Great Depression, followed by World War II. After that nearfatal crisis, the governments of the world bound up the devouring monster with strong, effective regulations for 40 years, while we rebuilt our shattered civilization Beginning in 1981, unfortunately, global financial gurus reverted to their false belief that the ravenous wolf of capitalism could be trusted to regulate its insatiable appetite once it was unbound. The last thirty years have shown that idea to be folly.

In 1980, the dominant economic powers of the world were the United States, Europe and Japan. Today, after three decades

of corporate deregulation, all three of us are struggling with stagnant economies, high unemployment and massive debts.

That’s no accident. The ravenous wolf is literally eating us alive. And lest the emerging economic powers — China, India, and Brazil — should rejoice too quickly, they should realize that the beast will turn and devour them, once it has finished us off.

Fenris will not stop eating until it is bound up again.

Today’s corporate wolf eats money and the only way to subdue it is to starve it to death. The more money the wolf devours, the more it wants, and it’s bleeding our middle class dry. Tea Party extremists believe that coddling corporations is the road to endless prosperity. They’re dead wrong. Global corporate domination is a doomsday beast from the bowels of hell. If you think things are going badly today, cheer up. Fenris is only finishing his appetizer. You’re really gonna hate the main course.

consequences and are responsible for numerous deaths across the country. In fact, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration recently noted that these chemicals, “pose a significant and growing threat to our nation.”

According to law enforcement officials, the drug is packaged as powder or crystals and sold over the Internet or over the counter at some convenience stores and head shops. Frighteningly, easy access to the unregulated substance has all too often prevented law enforcement officials from protecting individuals from devastating consequences until it is too late.

Proactive efforts by local and state officials, particularly in Bangor, to combat the epidemic are commendable. Since the sale of bath salts was banned in the state this past July, education and outreach events have taken place in communities like Bangor to address the situation. In addition to town meetings, local radio and television stations have taken to the airwaves to raise awareness about the local impacts and dangers associated with mephedrone and MDPV. The prevalence, spread, and ease of access to these substances, however, necessitates an additional Federal response to supplement state efforts. The fact is, a coordinated strategy at all levels of law enforcement is required to provide the training, awareness, and resources essential to combating the rampant abuse of these

drugs.

To supplement Maine’s efforts, I have co-sponsored legislation that would add mephedrone and MDPV to the list of controlled substances and make their possession and sale illegal in the United States. This legislation has already been approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee and has since been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. In the days ahead, it will be critical for the full chamber to schedule a vote on this vital legislation. Our communities simply cannot afford to wait any longer while the problem continues to grow.

But our efforts should not stop there. Last week, I urged both U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin to lead a targeted strategy to increase public awareness; address access and abuse; enhance efforts to seize shipments; and develop and distribute test kits to assist local law enforcement in better identifying individuals under the influence of the so-called bath salts. I have requested an immediate update from both agencies on the government’s progress on these efforts to ensure our state and local efforts are supplemented by action at the federal level.

The severity of this problem cannot be overstated.

The toll it has already taken on our state and the health of our citizens is significant, and disturbing reports of violent and self-destructive behavior are deeply concerning and must be addressed at all levels of government.

Working together, we can combat this epidemic by making it illegal to possess or sell mephedrone and MDPV and raising awareness about the problem. It is my hope that these initiatives, which require close collaboration, will indeed have a measurable impact on the safety and welfare of our communities during this trying time.
