BPD Facebook comments out?

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer Fans who want to comment on arrests posted by Bridgton Police on their Facebook page had better get their comments in while they still can.

That’s because a majority of the Bridgton Board of Selectmen want to ban all comments on arrests, at a minimum. They feel so strongly about it that, on Tuesday, they came very close to voting to ban fans from commenting on anything posted on the page, in effect making it a “read-only” Facebook page.

“I’ve talked to quite a few people about this, and we just do not like the comments. We do not need it,” said Selectman Bernie King, a former Bridgton police officer. Later, he added, “I don’t think it’s necessary.”

King’s motion to make the entire page “read-only” was seconded by Selectman Bob McHatton, who initiated the

debate several months ago when he brought up the issue of negative or derogatory comments being made under the mugshots of persons arrested for criminal offenses. Just as the board was about to vote, however, McHatton withdrew his second, saying he didn’t realize King’s motion would apply to all comments made by the public on information posted on the page.

McHatton’s intention, he said, was to limit the ban to comments made on arrests, and not on other posts, such as safety messages, reports on various grants and projects, video or photos of crime suspects sought by police or other items of interest such as design options for decals on new police department cruisers, which generated over 100 responses and over 1,000 views.

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer FRYEBURG — Should the Fryeburg Water District remain “active” or be declared “inactive?”

Residents will decide the organization’s fate in June 2013.

FWD trustees decided to place the question before voters at their meeting Tuesday night at the Fryeburg Rescue building.

The District was created in 2005 by the Maine Legislature when talk surfaced that the Fryeburg Water Company — a privately-owned utility — was contemplating its sale.

The Company decided against selling.

Yet, the District remained in place — just in case a day arrived that FWC did decide

to sell.

Although the District has five elected trustees, it has no regulatory powers.

To keep the District “active,” it takes about $1,100, which is raised through “donations” from the community.

FWD Trustee Dick Krasker, who has raised the funds needed to operate the District, felt the Fryeburg community could use the $1,000 on more “pressing” issues than keeping the District “active.”

Despite his own feelings on the issue, Krasker added that if local residents want to retain that “warm and fuzzy feeling” because the District is operational, he would support that position — continuing the reason he is on the board, to serve the interest of the public.

Center to help breast cancer patients

By Wayne E. Rivet Staff Writer Ann Ruel of Harrison is following a calling.

A year ago, Ann heard the words most women fear.

I’m sorry, you have breast cancer.

She had a scare several years ago when a lump was discovered, but it proved to be noncancerous.

A mammogram on Sept.

19, 2011 would change Ann’s life — forever. Initially, the test revealed a two-centimeter mass. In reality, the lump was five centimeters, and Ann was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

“It was devastating. I had no family history of breast cancer. You wonder, ‘Wow, is this it? Will I survive this or not?’

When I asked these questions

Ann Ruel To open wellness center to my oncologist, she told me I was going to be a survivor. No one had said that to me at that point. I needed to hear those words,” Ann recalled. “I said, ‘Okay, good. What do I need to

do?’ It was the start of a long journey.”

The journey continues. Ann’s experience tested her inner fortitude and her faith in God. “I truly believe the reason I went through this was that the Lord had a plan for me,” she said. “I am stepping out to do this purely on faith. If I don’t try to do it, I’ll never know whether I could help other lives or not.

I’m giving it a shot. That’s all I can do.”

By the first of the year, Ann hopes to open On Eagles Wings, Inc. — a breast cancer survivor wellness center for alternative treatment, located in her former real estate office on Portland Road, across from Beef & Ski. While two portions of the building are currently rented by an attorney and a financial consultant, Ann plans to renovate the “middle section” into a wellWELLNESS, Page A

on Tuesday night.

On Election Day, the polling place was the Casco Community Center, and the third annual business showcase was held in a space where the volume of voters would be heightened by a presidential election. At some point, organizers decided to charge $10 for each booth — to cover the cost of advertising and additional janitorial services for the event.

Selectman Ray Grant was surprised that this detail of the event did not come before the board sooner.

Although the recreation department often charges fees for sports activities, the fee charged for booths at the business showcase was new, according to Grant.

Plus, it was something the board should be kept aware of — as it involves the renting of town space and funds that should be accounted for, he said.

“First of all, whatever fees, I think the board should be notified,” he said.

“Anytime someone asks me why we are charging for something, and I don’t know, it doesn’t look good. And, it doesn’t feel good to not be able to answer,” Grant said.

Shortly after that comment, acting chairman Tracy Kimball asked Grant, “Was the question: ‘Why are we charging?’ or ‘What are we doing with the money that

was charged?’ ” He responded, “Both.”

During Tuesday’s workshop, the selectmen who spoke agreed a policy was in order to set a standard for how money is received during special events.

“There should be some checks and balances.” Kimball said.

“That has to be something that we should stay on top of it. I don’t want to add more to the recreation department. But, I would want to know that it wasn’t just a group of people. I would want to know someone is in charge of that,” she said.

Casco Town Manager Dave Morton said the town’s auditor had recommended the town address these types of moneyrelated issues.

Some of the auditing firm’s recommendations included having two people present while checks or cash are paid and receipts are being written, Morton said.

“To protect the person whose money is being collected, there

(should) be two people there” during the process of taking the check or money and signing the receipt, he said.

Later in the workshop, Morton said, “We have had a practice in the past of having these events without sanction” from the board of selectmen.

Earlier, Morton said it was up to the board to determine when to require approval for an event where a fee is charged; and secondly, it was the board’s responsibility to “outline a process for accepting money for the events.”

“I am suggesting that this may be the next policy you work on,” he said.

The board members indicated that policy work would soon appear as an agenda item.

Acting Chairman Kimball said, “We need a policy. I don’t think it is our job to decide how much they should charge Grant agreed with her, “There has to be checks and balances, and we need to approve it.”

Church clock ticks once more

Veterans’ names etched in rock

By Bill Warren Special to the News Around nine years ago, a parishioner at the Bridgton Methodist Church asked George Drisko to take a look at the church’s tower clock, to see what needed to be done to get it running.

George, a retired electronics instructor at Sanford Vocational Center, inspected the clock and then called Bill Warren, a longtime friend and former classmate at Bridgton High School, to arrange for repairs.

After looking the clock over, it was obvious that water had found its way to the area of the pendulum, and the lower 12 inches of the pendulum shaft had rotted and the cast iron weight had dropped off — thankfully, to a floor area, and not through the ceiling — as the pendulum shaft weighs 40-50 pounds. The shaft is around eight feet long, and Bill turned a new section and splined it onto the existing shaft and mounted the original hardware.

Next, the clockworks were cleaned, oiled and calibrated.

For those who have never seen a church clock works, it is just a very large watch works, standing four feet high, four or five feet long, and two feet wide.

It has the typical gears driving a shaft, geared to four clock faces. The clock mechanism is powered by a drum connected to a weighted cable. The tension to the cable to turn the drum is provided by a cast iron weight fitted with a single pulley, which allows the weight to drop within an enclosed channel from the floor of the clock face level to the church vestibule over a 10-day period (generally the clock should be wound every seven days, usually on Sunday; Bill did this at First Church when he was a boy).

The mechanism was activated after the pendulum repairs were competed, but, unfortunately, it stopped working every 12 hours because of unknown binding. The west clock mechanism was eventually determined

to be at fault, and the decision was made to disconnect this one face. In the interim, and unknown to the “clock mechanics,” a decision was made to remove the clock hands. This led to several years of — literally — lost time, as the hands and hardware were misplaced.

George recruited Mark Fleck’s Welding to design and construct new hands at a great discount and donation.

Bill arranged for the painting by donation and discount

by Varney’s Auto Body of Windham. The project was back in business! Following the completion of this task, to the surprise of the mechanics, the original wooden hands and hardware reappeared. The cost of a lift to reinstall the hands would have been about $1,000, so Bill set out on a trial of cutting an access door in the face of the clock to reach the mounting hardware. Similar access doors are in place at the Bridgton First Congregational Church clock — as viewed with binoculars — so it seemed cutting the hole would provide immediate access to the clock hands.

On Oct. 31, Bill, with George’s agreement, cut the access door in the face of the clock. On Monday, Bill and George mounted first the hour hand in the six o’clock position, and the minute hand in the 30-minute position, to ease the installation of the screws and shaft nut. The clock was then set to 6 o’clock to allow for calibration of the gear timing mechanism. Then, with a photographer from The News in place on the ground to take pictures of this historic event, the mechanism was set to 2:54 p.m. and began telling the time again on Monday, Nov. 12.

Aside from the civic service to aid in returning the clock to operation, George’s family, and Bill’s wife’s family, have had a long relationship with the Methodist Church. George’s mother Avis Drisko was a member for many years, and Bev’s dad and mother, George and

By Dawn De Busk Staff Writer CASCO — Fire Chief Jason Moen simply wanted to know if he could count on using the Memorial School during a fire training this winter.

He made his request to be updated “on the status of the Memorial School” during pub-

lic participation time.

Suddenly, several sets of questions flew to the table; and the Casco Board of Selectmen embarked on another conversation about the fate of this vacant, historical building.

On Tuesday, the board was in unison on getting cost estimates for removal of hazardous

materials, removal of debris if the building were burned, and for subsequent landscaping.

That discussion and request for a range of cost estimates took place a few months ago.

Also on Tuesday, the board agreed to postpone putting the issue back on the agenda until December’s meeting.

Selectman Ray Grant said he would not be present at the next November meeting, and

Chief asks if school still a fire training possibility he wanted to weigh in on the Memorial School when it was discussed again.

So, the school was tabled until Dec. 11 — the board’s only meeting for that month.

However, voters may have to okay the funding associated with continued maintenance or

Record-setting year for pharmacy robberies in Maine

By Gail Geraghty Staff Writer The October robberies that occurred 10 days apart at the Naples and Fryeburg Rite Aid

stores are numbers 46 and 47 in what has become a record-setting year for pharmacy robberies in Maine.

Since then, another pharma-

cy has been robbed, according to the Maine State Police. That makes 48 pharmacies robbed in 2012, compared to 28 the year before, and 24 in 2010.

In 2008, there were only two pharmacy robberies in Maine, said Steve McCausland, spokesperson for the Maine State Police. “We’re averaging about one a week,” he said.

Nationally, Maine is one of the top three states in the country in terms of the increase in pharmacy robberies over the past year, according to Maine Rep. Meredith Strang Burgess, who sees the statistic as strong evidence of the “horrific problem of prescription drug abuse and addiction” of which rural areas are particularly vulnerable because of high poverty rates and the resultant sense of hopelessness, powerlessness and desperation.

Fryeburg Police Chief Philip Weymouth said that among those addicted to opiates, the potential payoff of robbing a pharmacy is so great, both in terms of feeding their habit and of the money they can make selling them on the street, “the DANCE ROUTINE — Performing at the Lake Region payoff is so great, the penalty is Veterans Day program were (left to right) Jessica Allen, Kasey worth the risk.” When the Rite Hoyt and Talya Bartlett.

(Rivet Photo) Aid opened in Fryeburg several

years back, he said, “We knew it was just a matter of time” before it was robbed. “If you’re addicted, you’re desperate,” he said.

In the robbery that took place at the Fryeburg Rite Aid on Route 302 on Oct. 5, police allege that Michael E. Freeman, 25, of Chelsea entered the store just before 10 p.m. on a rainy Friday night during Fryeburg Fair week, handing the pharmacist a note that read: “Oxycodone 30’s in a bag and no one will get hurt, now.”

Weymouth believes Freeman was hoping to take advantage of the fact that police officers were busy with traffic control and other fair-related duties.

But the plan backfired.

“We had him within minutes,” Weymouth said. Almost the same second that Fryeburg Police Officers working traffic control at Academy Corner heard the radio alert to be on the lookout for a red pickup truck, they saw one approach in the lane bound for the fairgrounds.

“If he had turned the other way and headed for Bridgton, we probably would have lost him,” Weymouth said.

Freeman was working at the fair and had borrowed his

employer’s red pickup truck, Weymouth said. Once police received permission from the employer to search the truck, they found 270 30-milligram Oxycodone pills inside a Rite Aid bag. At around $30 each, the pills had a street value of over $8,000.

“What if he had made it to the fairgrounds?” asked Weymouth.

“You may have never seen him again” in the crowd, which was particularly large because of the Leann Rimes concert.

Bridgton Police Chief Kevin Schofield became involved in the Naples Rite Aid pharmacy robbery that occurred 10 days later, on Oct. 15, in assisting the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department with arresting a Wayside Drive, Bridgton, resident, Anthony G. Mattia, 26, for the crime. Mattia allegedly entered the Naples Rite Aid on Route 302 around 7:20 p.m. and handed a note to the pharmacist on duty. There was no

weapon displayed, and Mattia’s arrest came after police tied him to clothing worn during the robbery as well as items stolen from the pharmacy.

Schofield said Mattia was allegedly also involved with others in committing a string of three residential burglaries within a three-day period on the Kansas Road, as well as thefts from motor vehicles in August and September on Oak Street and the upper Kansas Road.

Arrested along with Mattia in connection with the Kansas Road burglaries were Morgan E. Miller, 22, of Kansas Road in Bridgton and Joseph M. Harmon, 23, of Kansas Road.

Schofield said that of the over 50 armed robberies that have occurred in Maine in 2012, it is estimated that between 60 and 70% of them involved prescription drug abuse. Bridgton Police recovered both guns and two types of prescription ROBBERIES, Page A

As far as getting an answer for Chief Moen, Casco Town Manager Dave Morton’s definitive answer was: “Short of burning the building, you can use it for training.”

The Casco Fire Department has utilized the space to do night vision training as well as smoke training, and Morton said those to see “their police department types of hands-on sessions could continue there. is progressively and proactively doing their job” and that “presents a positive image for any community.”

BPD Facebook comments muzzled? on the page related to arrests that are “questionable” as to whether they should be allowed or not.

“I haven’t seen anything that was that egregious that (the page) had to be shut down immediately,” said Hoyt. Some comments appear to reflect views of people who “are just being involved” with the activities of the police department, he added.

Woodward agreed. “I think there are many places where the comments would be very useful” to the department,” he said. In his three-page memo, Schofield emphasized the usefulness of comments as a way “to both report and interact with the public in which we serve in the most transparent manner possible.”

Social media sites like Facebook “allows the police department the ability to tell our story to the public and not necessarily rely on third party news media to do this for us,” Schofield wrote in his memo.

They can also serve as a real crime-fighting tool, he said, pointing out that as a result of videos posted on the page of crime suspects, “two theft cases were solved in one day last week alone.”

Schofield was not given the opportunity Tuesday to discuss the memo, however, since Hoyt

had earlier announced that comments from the audience would not be allowed once a motion had been made and seconded.

There was also no discussion of any kind concerning the propriety of posting booking photos along with arrest information (see Viewpoints, page D1).

After McHatton withdrew his seconding motion, King’s motion died, and the board agreed to wait on taking any action until they’ve reviewed the draft Social Media Policy at their Dec. 11 meeting.

Berkowitz did not offer any details of what might be in the report. The public, however, has taken an active interest in the debate. Schofield’s memo stated that when an article first appeared in The Bridgton News on the controversy, “over 2,000 people reviewed that post,” giving the BPD’s Facebook page “some ancillary benefits that need to be taken into consideration.” Schofield said he believes that posting arrests, rather than having a negative impact, allows residents and the public, including tourists,

(Continued from Page A) Schofield approached the microphone, poised to discuss a three-page memo he’d prepared outlining the importance and usefulness of social media to police departments. The board was reminded that it still hadn’t heard from a staff committee charged with drafting a Social Media Policy for the town. The report will be submitted to the board at its Dec. 11 meeting.

“With due respect, why even have (a staff committee report on the issue) if it’s a predetermined outcome?” asked Town Manager Mitch Berkowitz.

Selectman Chairman Paul Hoyt agreed.

“I think we’re jumping the gun here,” said Hoyt, who admitted he knew little about how Facebook works or how it could be used as a communications tool by a police department or any other town department. Both Hoyt and Selectman Woody Woodward said the board should wait to see the draft policy before taking any action.

“I was impressed that there would be 3,300 people who followed this,” said Hoyt, referring to the number of people who’ve become “fans” of the BPD’s Facebook page by clicking on a “like” button. He said he’s seen some comments

(Continued from Page A) drugs stolen in the daytime burglary of the Kansas Road home.

Recovered were a 12-gauge shotgun, a high-powered rifle and a .45 handgun, as well as ammunition, a laptop computer, a purse and credit cards. No one was home at the time.

Schofield said there could be more arrests and more charges made in the string of burglaries, which he could not say were connected. The case is still under investigation.

“At $1 a milligram, for someone who has a 120-milligram-aday habit, and you times that by seven days a week, that’s a good chunk of change,” Schofield said.

“The concern is, anytime you’re seeing a spike in burglaries, oftentimes, it’s because of substance abuse,” Schofield said. The problem is especially concerning when the theft of a weapon is involved. He noted that within 24 to 48 hours of being bailed out of jail on his arrest in connection with the Bridgton burglaries — in which weapons were stolen — Mattia was arrested for allegedly robbing a pharmacy. No weapon was used in the Naples Rite Aid pharmacy, but had Bridgton police not recovered the weapons taken in the burglaries, the situation could have been different, he said.

“Opiate addiction is a very, very powerful addiction, and from what I’ve seen in my 27 years on the job is, it fuels property crimes,” Schofield said.

The Naples Rite Aid pharmacy was also robbed of prescription opiates in May of 2010. In that case, the person charged with the crime, Jessie Arthur Lavalle, 21, of Windham, was alleged to have threatened pharmacy employees, saying he would “blow heads off” if they refused to comply, according to newspaper reports at the time. Lavalle was out on bail for allegedly robbing a CVS Pharmacy in Biddeford when he was arrested for the Naples Rite Aid robbery.

Become Operation Christmas angel

Operation Christmas Angel 2012 is well under way.

“Making sure there are toys for Christmas for Bridgton youth is what it’s all about,” says Chaplain Phil Reynard of the Bridgton Fire Department.

Requests for toys are pouring in. Help is coming from area businesses and organizations. Churches are filling specific requests along with employees from the Bridgton Hospital and the elementary school. Firefighters are doing the groundwork. It is a beautiful thing to behold.

When asked what the person reading this could do to help, the Chaplain said, “We need more toys and financial donations.” People can drop unwrapped toys off at the Little Mountain Store, Campfire Grille, Food City, Punkin Valley Restaurant and

The Morning Glory. To find out about other locations please call Bettye Ferland at the Little Mountain Store at 647-2442 between 2-5 p.m.

If anyone is interested in giving requested toys for a specific child, call 647-2796 for information. Financial donations should be made out to: “Operation Christmas Angel” and sent to P.O. Box 466, Bridgton, ME 04009.

Bridgton is a community that cares. That can be seen early on Christmas morning as firefighters pass out toys.

The smiles on the faces along with the excitement as they tear off the wrapping paper is proof positive that all the effort by all the people in Bridgton is well worth it all. Thank you to all those who help and to those who make it all possible. May Christmas 2012 be a very joyful Christmas for you.

Lighting the pole NAPLES — As Central Maine Power continued efforts to restore power in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Naples Fire Department wanted to honor area veterans by flying the American flag at the new bridge’s scenic vista over the weekend.

With no power at that location, the NFD used a portable generator to illuminate the flagpole at night.

“We hope the noise from the generator will not bother the neighbors and we appreciate their patience. To all veterans, the NFD wants to thank you for your service,” was the message on the department’s Facebook page. “As everyone probably knows, CMP is working very hard helping restore power for our New England neighbors because of Hurricane Sandy. We at the Naples Fire Department support and thank them.”

Park passes for Vets

Maine residents, who are veterans and were honorably discharged or received a general discharge under honorable conditions, are reminded that they are eligible for a free, lifetime dayuse pass to Maine state parks and historic sites.

“We are honored to be able to offer this small token of our gratitude to Maine veterans in recognition of their outstanding service to this country,” said Commissioner Walter Whitcomb of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, which oversees Maine state parks and historic sites. “We are very proud and thankful for all that our veterans have contributed to the security and freedom of our country.”

Maine has 48 state parks and historic sites, many of which have activities and are open even during winter months. The free pass for veterans is for individual day use for park entrance and must be presented each time in conjunction with appropriate identification. All park and historic site rules must be followed.

The park passes for veterans are available through the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management, which will determine whether the veteran is eligible for the free park pass.

Veterans who would like to apply for the park pass can find the application form online. The form must be completed and SCENES FROM VETERANS DAY AT LAKE REGION HS, returned with a copy of the veteran’s DD214 form (military serwhich included a visit from Maine’s First Lady, Ann LePage vice record) and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Center will be path of wellness for cancer patients (Continued from Page A) ness center.

“I have a great team of people who have already stepped forward to donate their time and talents to get this center up and running,” Ann said. “It will be a faith-based center and prayer will be provided for those patients who would like to receive it.”

The center will provide a variety of services from massage to reflexology to education regarding naturopathic supplements to assist those undergoing chemotherapy, as well as dietary tips.

Although the Dempsey Center at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston offers similar services for cancer patients, Ann wanted to expand those offerings, as well as adding a “faith” component.

“I want to offer women a chance to really give their minds and bodies a brief vacation from their disease,” she said. “Which means, I want to give them two hours (not a half hour, which is offered at the Dempsey Center), for a massage and reflexology so they can truly allow their bodies to rest from the ravages of their treatments. It was huge for me. It was always something I looked forward to.”

While contractors Al Knight and Bob Griggs reconstruct the space, Ann has been busy filing paperwork to gain nonprofit status, which will enable the center to seek grants in 2013.

Meanwhile, Jen Tringali and her crew from “My Sister’s Garage” in Windham will be volunteering their time and tal-

ents to furnish and decorate the center. Home Depot and Lowe’s have donated supplies to make it happen.

“It has been heartwarming, amazing, and a complete blessing from the Lord surrounding this center,” Ann said.

Battle for life While Ann leaned heavily on her faith as she battled her disease, she found some comfort and focus by creating a “journal of her journey.”

She snapped photographs of doctors, nurses and people who stepped forward to help her with simple daily routines — such as taking her teenage daughter, Rachel, to school in Windham each day.

“Honestly, I just felt it was a calling from God to inspire other people to get through their journey. I felt prompted to take pictures of everything,” she said.

After a long career selling real estate in the Lake Region, Ann shifted careers and worked at Norway Savings Bank.

During the 1½ years prior to diagnosis, Ann taught a banking class at her daughter’s school — Windham Christian Academy. As part of an entrepreneurial project, a seventh grader, Rachel Lawler, created a winning project through the use of a video.

When it came time for Ann to put all of her photos into some type of “format,” she called upon her former student.

“I called Rachel up and asked if she could do something with the photos. She said, ‘Absolutely.” She did a great

job,” Ann said.

Creating a video (which can be seen online at vimeo.com/ annruel) was Ann’s attempt to help others cope with their new diagnosis.

The message: “Don’t be afraid.”

In the video, which was shown at her church — the Bridgton Alliance Church — to kick off her wellness center efforts, Ann tells listeners that cancer is “a journey, not a sprint.”

“It will take time and it will take endurance,” she said.

“Don’t let fear overtake you.

Live in the moment, don’t jump ahead. Surround yourself with people who can help you.”

Surviving her life’s biggest test During her “younger” days, Ann Ruel was a competitive swimmer. She competed in college and received a full athletic scholarship.

The keys to victory were: train hard, surround yourself with good people and follow a good diet.

When she was diagnosed with cancer, Ann reverted back to that old formula.

“Cancer was a huge race that I had to win,” she said. “To win it, I had to surround myself with people who would support my system and provide the things to get through this race and win it.”

Modern medicine, oftentimes, can defeat cancer. But, victory comes at a cost.

“Certainly, I am thankful for modern medicine. It saved my life. But, the side effects of

treatment are not human. Think about what we (cancer patients) go through. We get chopped up, burned (radiation) and poisoned (chemotherapy). The body has an amazing ability to withstand these elements and recuperate,” she said.

Ann also felt a clear and positive mind was also crucial to the healing process. She bought CDs promoting positive thinking. She also created her own recordings, tapping into various Scripture to give her strength and comfort.

“If I got scared at night, I would put it (CD) on until I fell asleep. It calmed me down,” she said. “I kept feeding my mind when I became afraid because I really believed my mind was going to feed my body to get past what I needed to do.”

Ann found relief in other options outside her general cancer care. She underwent massage, acupuncture and reflexology. To deal with some of the chemo side effects, Ann sought out “natural” remedies from naturopath Dr. Julianne Forbes of North Bridgton and Dr. Barbara MacDonald of Camden.

Chemotheraphy started on Nov. 9, 2011.

It ended on Feb. 29, 2011.

Radiation commenced this past April.

It ended on May 17, 2012 after 28 treatments.

“You remember these dates because cancer forever changes your life,” Ann said. “You certainly remember the day you’re done.”

Some people pick up the

Center founder Ann Ruel hopes to open On Eagles Wings, Inc. by the first of the year. pieces and try to return to their lives, as it was before cancer entered the picture.

Ann chose a different path.

She lost her bank job. Yet, she knew what her next step had to be. Her energy is dialed totally toward creating a wellness center to help those starting their own life-changing journey.

“Before my diagnosis, I had done a lot of ministry work with cancer patients at the Barbara Bush Children’s Ward with the puppet program. I saw what a difference you can make in a person’s life,” Ann said.

“When this (cancer) hit me, I felt there was a reason I was going through this. You want to move on with your life, but when you come out of this cancer phase, you are no longer the same person. Your life has been

ravaged. Your life is never the same. If we all move on, who is going to help others? There are women out there that need help. My attitude is that we have today, so we need to take advantage of what we have and do what we can.”

On Eagles Wings, Inc. is Ann Ruel’s calling.

Since services provided by On Eagles Wings, Inc. will be at no charge, Ann will be seeking some grants, but will also rely on community contributions and donations. Anyone who would like to assist the center can contact Norway Savings Bank, and make a donation to On Eagles Wings, Inc. account. Donations are tax deductible.

FWD: Stay active or be inactive? fully understand the question being asked.

A proposed 10% cut resulted in about 900 voters showing up for the school budget vote. Foster heard many people questioning “how they were suppose to vote” on various warrant items. She would hate to see a repeat on the Water District vote.

Other residents in attendance felt the District is needed as a watchdog because of the presence of Nestlé. Several people made reference to lawsuits filed in other states against the big corporation, and whether the company could fully be trusted.

They see the Water District as a “safeguard for the people” and “that alone is a good reason to keep the Water District active.”

Several times, Weston reminded residents to keep questions related to the Water District, not about their feelings for Nestlé or the company’s history.

trustees “if they had any problem” or if a conflict of interest would exist with him serving on the FWD board. Their answer was “No.” While Krasker noted Nestlé has given him no reason to question their intention to abide by agreements made regarding water extraction, he pointed out it that if the District was inactive, the Town of Fryeburg has eminent domain powers to contend with Nestlé and “greater financial resources” to pursue legal matters compared to the District.

As the meeting came to a close, trustees reiterated that there was no move to “dissolve” the Water District.

The question is whether the Water District will remain “active” or “inactive.”

A FWD meeting will be held the second week in May for further discussion on the issue prior to the June vote.

Others suggested that the Water District could assume a greater role. Krasker noted earlier in the evening that the FWD helped establish the wellhead protection zone. Similar work, on behalf of the general public, could be pursued, some residents suggested. One starting point would be creating a “mission statement,” which does not presently exist.

Other questions asked included how wells are monitored (independent hydrologist Peter Garrett oversees reports collected from 11 monitoring wells — reports are filed by the Fryeburg’s code enforcement officer, Krasker said) and whether any trustee had connections with the Fryeburg Water Company or would benefit in any way from the District being inactive.

Trustee Weston noted that his father has been a long-time member of the Fryeburg Water Company, and had asked other

(Continued from Page A) Krasker had suggested placing the District in an “inactive” state. If the need arose in the future, the District could be returned to “active” status.

Trustees debated Tuesday night what format should be used to present the question to residents.

Initially, Trustee chairman John Weston recommended that an informational paragraph be placed under the main question, explaining the ramifications of a vote to make the District “inactive.”

Trustee Scott Montgomery, however, felt the ballot should be kept simple — an “up or down” question on whether residents want the Water District or not, thus avoiding any biased wording.

SEBAGO — Pumpkins and apples flew high and far during the Punkin Chunkin held by Sebago’s Spaulding Memorial Library on Nov. 3.

The Trustees were pleased to have Boy Scout Troop 149 from Bridgton join the fun and demonstrate the trebuchet they built.

A replica of a medieval catapult, designed originally as a siege engine, the machine could throw large pumpkins 100-feet high and a distance of 200 feet.

Visitors to the second annual event were able to purchase either apples or pumpkins to use in the large slingshots fashioned from the frames of soccer goals.

at Gallery 302

Painter Jon Allan Marshall, who is the guest artist for November at Gallery 302 in Bridgton, will give a demonstration of his painting technique on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the Gallery.

The demonstration and discussion are free and open to the public.

Mr. Marshall’s paintings are influenced by the Dutch masters of the 17th century.

He uses a technique which

is rare today, involving the use of glazes to add depth and color. His imagery is realistic and reminiscent of old master painters such as Rembrandt.

Gallery 302 is located at 112 Main Street in Bridgton.

Gallery hours are 12 to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

This year, the library was fortunate to have six teens helping at the event. Mckenna Ricker of Sebago was in charge of one of the slings. Five members of the Lake Region High School Community Service and Public Relations Academy joined him in working with the trustees.

Kara Griffin manned the cash box, Caitlynn Willett provided face painting, Zoe Barrett and Hayley Huntress kept track of points earned by the “chuckers” and Hannah Perkins manned the sale of pumpkins off the truck.

The winner of overall points in the Senior Division was Diane Drown, who won the Golden Pumpkin Award and a pizza. She also won a sweatshirt for longest distance.

Tyler Smith won the Golden Pumpkin and pizza in the Junior Division. In the Junior Division, Charlie Batchelder won a T-shirt for runner up in points and Josie Schwieterman won a “reading dog” for longest distance.

Fun was had by all. The event dodged Superstorm Sandy. Trustees are already brainstorming on how to improve the slings and the Boy Scouts have promised to bring their trebuchet again next year, after repairs and improvements.

So mark your calendar for the Saturday after Halloween. See you behind Sebago Elementary School on Nov. 2, 2013!

A loop around the grass at Gasping Gobbler Lovell

by Ethel Gilmore-Hurst Lovell Correspondent 925-3226 ehurst3@yahoo.com

Next weekend will be very busy in Lovell, starting with the Gasping Gobbler 5K Walk/Run, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Lovell Athletic Field. This event is put on by the Lovell Rec Department to fund the youth and adult programs serving families in Chatham, Lovell, Stoneham,

Stow and Sweden. The course is a measured three-wheel loop around the grass and dirt perimeter, which measures 3.1 miles.

Walkers and runners are invited to participate for the prizes.

Spectators are encouraged to spend the morning cheering on the runners and walkers, who need all the help they can

get. After the completion of the race, everyone will adjourn to the VFW Hall for awards and refreshments. If you haven’t already signed up, you can contact Meg Dyer at 925-1084, or Stan Tupaj at 925-1500.

Also starting at 10 a.m.

Saturday is the Lovell United Church of Christ’s Snowflake Fair. There will be Christmas decorations, including wreaths, berry bowls and fir pillows.

Among the other tables will be baked goods, gifts, treasures, costume jewelry and a Christmas boutique. For those interested in quilts there is a raffle for a beautiful “Aunt Grace’s Star Quilt” and a Thanksgiving basket. Come in and shop, enjoy some goodies, then rest your feet and have lunch. The Youth Group is in charge of the luncheon, and you know it’s going to be good. The fair runs until 1 p.m. — hope to see you there.

A reminder — veterans can still attend the last concert that the 4th and 5th graders are holding at the New Suncook School. The final concert honoring all veterans will be held at the school on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. The students have practiced music honoring the armed forces in American history. I hope all those who have not attended these concerts will try to make the final concert, so that the children will have an audience.

The New Suncook School PTA is gearing up for their annual PTA Auction, to be held on Saturday, Nov. 17. This event couldn’t take place without the help of the community and businesses who donate items to be auctioned off. Again this year, the PTA is asking for the help that in the past has been so generous. This is the biggest

fundraiser for the group, and it’s the most important, because the proceeds fund many field trips and special events, the most important of which is Alternative Learning Day. Items that can be donated are services, family attraction passes, gift certificates, new crafts, new toys, gift baskets and many more. Anyone willing to help can drop donations off at the school. For more information, you can contact Stacey Snyder at 890-4390. The door opens at 4:30 p.m. for viewing with the auction, starting at 6 p.m.

Among items that have been donated are ski passes to Shawnee Peak and Cranmore, a Visa gift card, one six-month single gym membership or one three-month family membership to Eastern Slope Inn, a two-night stay at Eastern Slope Inn and/or Attitash Mountain Village, two children’s bikes, two turkeys with fixings, gift certificates from local various restaurants, gift certificates to local campgrounds (Powder Horn, Whispering Pines and Wild Acres), home-baked breads and fudge, a Kodak 5x-zoom, 12-megapixel digital camera, children’s bicycles, two rides in the fire truck from Lovell Fire Department, and much, much more.

The Lovell’s 5th annual Chili Challenge was a huge success.

There were 11 entrants, and all picked it up a notch because the judges were enjoying themselves a little too much. In other words, they found it difficult to pick the winners; the chili was that great. The money raised at this event goes to Lovell Friends Helping Friends to help with fuel assistance this winter.

The friends turned out to enjoy the efforts of all the contestants, raising a total of $1,143. Lovell is a community that turns out to help others which makes us very proud.

The winners of the cookoff were, Judges Choice: first place, Stephen James; second (a tie), Bobby Collins and Ryan Caracciolo; and third place (another tie), Al Stearns and the Center Lovell Market. The People’s Choices: first place, the Stow Corner Store; second place, Bobby Collins; and third place, Ryan Caracciolo. The Best Table Design was Bobby Collins. Thanks to all the contestants, the judges, those who baked, and a big “great job” to the organizers.

Information for your calendar: the monthly speaker at the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library on Tuesday, Nov. 27, will be Jo Werther. Her topic of the evening will be “The Art of Stress Management.” The program starts at 7 p.m., with refreshments to follow.

Other future dates are the annual Tree Lighting, with the visitor from the North Pole which will be on Friday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. Bakers will be needed for this event, so if you want to help, sign up at the library.

The library’s annual appeal letter has gone out to the members of the community. The library is probably one of the best libraries in the state of Maine. The staff involved with running the library love what they do, and they do it very well. We all know what a budget is, and we know we need a certain amount of money to pay the bills in that budget.

If you use the library or not, someone in the household does, and whether it’s the children or adult programs, they are the best. This community helped

Be sure before taking the shot

Hope everyone is getting his or her deer. I think it has been a fairly good season for the weather anyway. Hunters, please be careful about what you are shooting at. Make sure it’s a deer you have in your sights.

I read in The Bridgton News that McDonalds will be done and opened by the end of November. I myself will be happy to be able to go there, and then go shopping in town afterward.

I’m sure lots of folks will be doing the same, or shopping, then eating. I’m thinking this will draw more people to Bridgton to do their shopping. Especially during this busy season, I don’t want to dilly-dally with food, when I can drive through and get something quick to eat.

The Edes Falls Sewing Circle is going to have their HO! HO! Sale on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ede Falls Community Hall. There will be clam and corn chowders, steaming hot to take the chill off and satisfy your hunger. Hunters are welcome for lunch. I like mixing both chowders together — it is yummy. There’ll also be knitted and crotcheted, hand-sewn or crafted items, all kind of sweets, breads, brownies, cookies, pies, fudge, etc. There will be a small Chinese raffle (the state says we can’t have an auction unless we get a permit) of a few things.

The American Legion Auxiliary will be holding a Children’s Christmas Party for ages 12 and under on Saturday, Dec. 15, from noon to 2 p.m. The party is open to the public. Call the Legion at 693-6285 to sign up; they have to have a count of boys and girls and their names and ages. Santa will be there.

A Fish Fry will be held at the American Legion on Friday, Nov. 16, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. It’s really good eating.

Tar sands movie

CASCO — Pipe Dreams, a film about tar sands and its effect on the environment, will be shown on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m., at the Casco Community Center.

A proposal to send tar sands oil through the Portland Pipeline has raised concerns among Maine citizens. While crude oil has flowed through this pipeline without incident since the 1950s, reversing the flow of oil so that it travels from Montreal to Portland carries many risks.

Tar sands oil is toxic and corrosive and it must be heated to high temperatures to make it “flowable,” making pipelines more vulnerable to rupture. Pipeline ruptures and oil spills elsewhere have been devastating to the environment.

The Portland Pipeline lies within 1,000 feet of Sebago Lake and crosses the Crooked River six times. A pipeline rupture in this area could destroy Sebago’s drinking water for Portland and its ecological, recreational and economic values to the whole region.

All are encouraged to view the film and participate in the discussion afterwards.

Mitchell’s celebrate 60th

By Ethel Hurst Special to the News Family and friends gathered at Northend Farm Nov. 10 to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of Ruth and Fred Mitchell. This could be a story about a girl and boy who lived across the street and had a long romance since they were young, but that wasn’t the case.

Fred moved to South Orange, N.J., when he was in the fifth grade, and Ruth was in the second grade. They both attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J., with Fred graduating in 1943 and Ruth in 1945. There was no dating yet, as Fred went to Cornell University in the Navy V-12 program, to study engineering.

After leaving Cornell, Fred entered basic training in the Navy, later to be assigned to a Naval aircraft carrier. After the war was over, he finished his studies at Cornell, receiving his degree in 1948. After graduation, he returned home to become part of the family business, Jenson & Mitchell.

After her graduation, Ruth continued her education at Endicott Junior College, where she received an associate’s degree in Home Economics.

She then changed directions by attending the University of Pennsylvania’s Dental Hygiene School. After graduating in 1948, she returned home to work for a local dentist. No Fred yet!

In 1950, because of the

Korean conflict, Fred was drafted into the Army, taking his basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Ruth, being a patriotic young lady, put her home economics training to use by making sticky buns for the troops at Fort Dix. She brought them to Fred, sparks flew, and the romance began.

Finally, the happy couple got engaged on Oct. 22, 1951, and were married on Nov. 8, 1952.

After the wedding, Fred and Ruth set up housekeeping in an apartment in Springfield, N.J. In 1954, the couple bought their first home in Maplewood, N.J., where their first child, Martha, was born. Fred and Ruth have four children: Martha, who lives in Scarborough; Ken, who lives in Haverford, Pa.; Jeannie, who lives in New London, Conn.; and Julia, who lives in Amherst, N.H. They have five grandchildren.

Fred and Ruth retired in 1997 to the Northend Farm in North Lovell. In 85 years, Ruth has spent time at the farm every summer except for two. Her grandfather started the family treks to North Lovell, and Fred and Ruth decided to continue the tradition. Both are very active in the Lovell United Church of Christ. Ruth is the leader of the church Bell Ringers and Fred, down through the years, has served on numerous commitRuth and Fred Mitchell on their wedding day in 1952. tees and sings in the choir. Both have been a credit to the town of Lovell, active in both the library and the historical society.

Bernerhof Inn honors tradition during National Diabetes Month FRYEBURG — Richard Badger, owner of The Bernerhof Inn, is proud to announce their continuing support of the Miranda Leavitt Diabetes Fund and National Diabetes Month.

In just the last four months, guests at The Bernerhof Inn have donated over $600 toward the cause with Bernerhof’s Rubber Duckie campaign. The Fund, started by Miranda’s mother and local resident, Brenda Leavitt, is dedicated to raising awareness in local communities impacted with the loss of family members and friends with diabetes.

Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes and another 79 million have pre-diabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have the disease by 2050 if steps are not taken to stop it.

The American Diabetes Association estimates that the total national cost of diagnosed diabetes in the United States is $174 billion. Further published studies suggest that when additional costs for gestational diabetes, pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes are included, the total costs in the United States could exceed $218 billion.

Diabetes is a serious disease. If it isn’t managed, it can damage many parts of the body, leading to heart attacks, strokes, amputation, blindness, kidney failure and nerve dam-

Miranda Leavitt age. But there is good news: diabetes complications can be prevented or delayed by properly managing blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Eating healthy, being physically active and quitting smoking also can help lower the risk of diabetes complications.

Miranda Leavitt lost her life to diabetes at just 22 years old. At the age of 13, she was diagnosed with diabetes and hyperthyroidism, both of which are autoimmune deficiencies.

Although a challenging diagnosis with which to live, Miranda never let it, or anyone else, stop her from living life to the fullest. It was her greatest hope to help educate, assist and fund people with diabetes in need who were living in the Mount

Wolverines win fall title Bridgton Academy athletics is preparing to head into the Thanksgiving break after a very successful fall.

The Wolverine baseball team took the overall championship title in the New England Club Baseball Association (NECBA), defeating Harvard in the quarterfinals 9-2, Holy Cross in the semis 10-7 and besting Boston University in the finals 10-1. The Wolverines tied with Vermont with a 9-3 mark in the North Division, which included New Hampshire, Dartmouth, New England and Maine. BA finished with an overall 12-3 record.

It capped a very successful fall season and gives Coach Izaryk and the baseball program a nice boost in recognition as they hit the road to recruit next year’s team.

Team members included: Quinn Moynihan, Brett Barbati, Brendan Skidmore, Casey Stead, Sean Tobin, Matthew Glass, Cejay Suarez, Evan Brown, Jake Unwin, Zachary Fenton, Sean Getman, Jake Murray, Shamus Landers, Zachary Fuller, Sam Stauble, Garrett Leahy, Michael Haag, Anthony Graziano, Nathan Stewart, Alex Benson and Alex Knight.

Wolverine soccer just missed making the tournament this year after a strong showing all season despite playing with a very limited bench all year. Coach Perron, in his first year at Bridgton Academy, was pleased with the talent and impressed with the effort his team put forth all year.

In their final two games (both shorted due to lack of daylight), Bridgton played well, besting Hebron Academy 4-0 at home and then traveling to Brewster Academy to draw a 0-0 tie.

The lacrosse program, under new head coach Jon Hunt, has posted excellent results all season, including a win against archrival Navy Prep earlier in the season.

The Wolverine lacrosse team headed down to Harvard this past weekend to play in a recruiting tournament against top high school talent and both players and coaches were pleased with the results, as well as the feedback from college coaches. Last year’s team saw 23 of 23 players earn the opportunity to play college lacrosse this past fall. Coach Hunt is looking to repeat that CHAMPS — Bridgton Academy claims the NECBA Championship title, defeating Boston college placement success again this year.

University 10-1.

Plenty to cheer about at FA

FRYEBURG — Cheers and giggles echoed inside Wadsworth Arena at Fryeburg Academy on Saturday, Nov. 3 as 56 cheerleaders took part in Cheer Day. In attendance were the Fryeburg Academy Raiders, the Lovell Cheerleaders, the Huskies Cheerleaders and the Sacopee Valley Little Hawks cheerleaders. It was a huge turnout of cheerleaders ranging from kin-

dergarten all the way to high school. There were nine coaches overseeing the activities.

The day started with a group exercise and a group jog.

Organizers then split the cheerleaders into small groups and sent them to work at three stations.

Groups each worked together at a Cheering Station (where the Fryeburg Raiders taught a few cheers to each group), Tumbling

Station (where they worked on everything from forward rolls to back handsprings and back tucks) and the Stunting Station (where they practiced the basics of flying and basing with thigh stands and preps).

Halfway through the afternoon, participants took a break for a large potluck lunch provided by all squads’ generous cheer parents. After lunch, the groups resumed the rest of the stations.

Each squad took to the floor to perform a routine they had practiced for the event. It gave each squad a chance to show off all to sit back and cheer on their new they have learned and their hard friends! work and dedication.

It was a great day full of spirit It also gave squads a chance and excitement.

Raider fall honors

Denmark Mountain Hikers on the trail at Chandler Gorge in Evans Notch.

(Photo by Allen Crabtree)

Freedom of the Hills: Chandler Gorge “People will forget what you said; People will forget what you did.

But people will never forget how you made them feel,” — Maya Angelou

By Allen Crabtree Guest Writer Chandler Brook flows from the eastern slopes of South Baldface Mountain and

Baldface Knob and joins the Cold River in Evans Notch, just south of North Chatham.

Chandler Gorge on Chandler Brook is an interesting flume with several pools and cascades about 1.5 miles upstream from the Cold River on the northern branch of Chandler Brook. The stream is snuggled into a wooded canyon in the gorge and flows over rock ledges, making

Public skating times The Bridgton Ice Arena in North Bridgton will offer public skating during the month of November as follows: Friday, Nov. 16 from 6 to 8 p.m.

for a delightful lunch stop along the trail. In high water periods, it is particularly spectacular.

Chandler Gorge is reached from the Baldface Circle Trail.

At 1.2 miles from the trailhead of level, then moderate climbing, a marked loop trail leads south and then down to the Gorge.

For hikers bound for the Baldface Shelter and the summit of South Baldface, the loop trail continues and rejoins the Baldface Circle Trail about 0.1 miles from where the loop left the main trail. Chandler Gorge is an interesting side trip, or a pleasant destination hike all on its own.

Chandler Brook and 3,335foot Chandler Mountain were named for the Chandler family, who settled in this area after the Revolutionary War. Moses Chandler was the first of the clan to settle here, and there is a Chandler Family Cemetery about halfway between Gilead and Fryeburg on the Evans Notch Road.

The Denmark Mountain Hikers took this easy hike to Chandler Gorge on a crisp, clear day on Dec. 9, 2011. The water rushing through the gorge was spectacular, and had the weather and water been much warmer this would have been an inviting spot for a swim.

We’ll have to come back some warm summer day.

Hike notes Chandler Gorge is located in Carroll County, North Chatham, N.H. Difficulty: Easy Trail distance (one way): 1.6 miles Hiking times (one way): 45 minutes to 1 hour Elevation: 1,000 feet Vertical gains: 478 feet Coordinates: 43° 14’ 10” N 71° 02’ 30” W Topographic Map: USGS Chatham 7.5-minute quad Directions to the trailhead: Take Route 113 North from Fryeburg into Evans Notch.

Shortly after passing the AMC Cold River Camp entrance, the Baldface Circle parking lot is on the right. This is a White Mountain National Forest parking lot and a daily fee is charged; there is a self-service kiosk to purchase a daily parking permit.

From this parking lot trails to the Baldfaces and to Chandler Gorge begin.

Trail Information: From the trailhead the trail is nearly level for 0.7 miles to the Circle Junction. Here three trails diverge — the right fork to Emerald Pool, straight ahead to the Bicknell Ridge Trail and northern branch of the Baldface Circle Trail, and left to the south branch of the Baldface Circle Trail. Take the left fork and climb moderately. At the juncGORGE, Page C

The 2012 Fall Headmasters Award goes to Christina DiPietro.

The next award goes to a young man who has a passion for endurance, in any event. He is a 12-sport athlete in cross country, Nordic skiing and track and field.

His accolades in Nordic skiing mirror those of his crosscountry career.

Judy’s life in China: Learning about the rice harvest

By Judy Crowell Guest Writer Almost each and every meal I have here in China involves rice of one type or another.

I still have not mastered eat-

ing rice with chopsticks, but I am getting better. Luckily, most of the rice dishes I have eaten use sticky rice, where the rice all clumps together. I have not attempted eating dry rice with

chopsticks because I would starve to death by the time I could eat a bowl of it!

I was given the amazing opportunity to visit a rice field during harvest by one of my students.

Being a New Englander all of my life and having no idea what happens, I jumped at the chance to see a rice harvest. The long trip to Long Xia Ke, whose literal translation is Dragon Down Nest, was about five hours. I am so thankful for such wonderful public transportation here. You can literally get anywhere in China by bus, train or taxi. The phrase “can’t get there from here” does not apply in China!

Rice is usually planted in April and harvested in September or October. In November, some families plant tobacco, which will be ready for harvest in March.

LESSON OF THE DAY — Judy Crowell of Harrison (right) All over Fujian province you gives her best shot at using chopsticks. can see rice growing. There are

small or large bunches of the not with rice. It is grown instead but the crop needs a lot of water. beautiful chartreuse color every- in bunches with as many seeds as Farmers make dams and have where. Most of the fields I see will fit in the flooded area. even planted rice on the side of everyday are in perfect rows, but Rice can be grown anywhere, CHINA, Page C

School & sports

Harrison, Waterford skiing With the towns of Harrison and Waterford now sharing their schools with each other, they will also be sharing Harrison’s annual Ski & Snowboard Program for students in grades K-12.

The program runs for seven weeks at Shawnee Peak, starting on the first Friday in January. With both the Harrison and Waterford programs being at Shawnee Peak on the same day, it will give the students even more time together, outside of their classrooms.

Two signups dates remain: on Friday, Nov. 16, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and on Friday, Nov. 30, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. (also

equipment fittings/paperwork). Both will take place at the Harrison Community Room on Edes Falls Road, above the Harrison Fire Station.

• For Harrison students who attend Waterford Elementary School, their parents will still drop off equipment at Harrison Elementary.

Program participants will ride the Waterford Elementary School Ski Bus with their Waterford Elementary School friends to Shawnee Peak to join their Harrison Program.

• For Harrison students who attend Harrison Elementary School, it’s the same procedure as last year. Their parents will drop off equipment at Harrison Elementary School. Program participants will ride the Harrison Elementary School Ski Bus with their Waterford friends to Shawnee Peak.

• For Waterford students who attend Harrison Elementary School, they will ride the Harrison Elementary School Ski Bus with their Harrison friends to Shawnee Peak to join their Waterford Program. (See your Waterford Ski Program Coordinator for Waterford Program details.)

• For Lake Region Middle School and Lake Region High School students, they will ride the 2 p.m. Ski Bus from Oxford Hills Comprehensive CARRYING bags of rice dur- High School to Harrison Elementary School, where ing harvest time. they will pick up chaperones,

participants and equipment and head to Shawnee Peak.

(LRMS and LRHS parents will drop off equipment at HES.) Community service and volunteer paperwork are still being accepted and payment plans can still be set up at this time. Shirts, pants and sweatshirts will be available to try on for size and ordering at both sign-ups.

All program coordinators will be available on Nov. 16 and 30 to assist with program selections and details.

Shawnee Peak staff will be doing all equipment fittings at the Nov. 30 signup for those who have signed up for rental equipment. For more information, call Julie CrawfordMurphy at 583-6237 and Tracy Card at 583-4477.

mountains. It is first flooded and because of the dams, the water stays for a long time. Rice grows for about five to six months and then it is harvest time. There are two ways to harvest rice. One way is to do it manually and the other is by machine.

The mechanical way involves a big machine, which cuts the rice, then gets rid of the stems and packages it in big bags. But the machines cost a lot of money, so most people use the manual version.

With the manual version, every person in the family is involved.

They work long days with just one break at lunchtime. At lunch, the family all sits down together and eats. There is a lot of loud talking and laughing. After a nap, the whole family finishes making the rice into bundles and lets it dry for a day or two. Then, they all hit the bundle on the edge of a big container so the rice falls off.

They put the rice through a machine to remove weeds. Then, they put the rice out on a flat surface to dry in the sun and rake it. Drying takes about two days, usually. A few people have the job of raking the rice, which is done a few times a day. The rice is then bagged into big 50-pound bags and sold for 10 yuan (or $1.66). My student thought that was too expensive, but I was willing to buy 10 bags and sell them at Food City. I am sure I could sell a one-pound bag for $2.50. Wow, that’s quite a profit. I might have my luggage full of rice when I head home!

It was an amazing trip full of new sights, sounds, people and beautiful surroundings!

Most recently, the Junior Team played to a 1-1 tie against the Atlanta Knights, while the Prep Team took a 7-5 win over the Maine Moose. Both teams are on the ice again at home after the Thanksgiving break.

BPD’s Facebook page: Including mugshots is going too far

It’s easy to see why the Bridgton Police Department’s Facebook page is so hugely popular. Since its inception three years ago, the page has been and continues to be way ahead of the curve in using the interactive nature of online social media to its maximum potential.

But would the page be so popular if people’s mugshots weren’t posted there? We think not. A picture, it’s said, tells a thousand words. A picture of someone’s face, taken right after their arrest on criminal charges, is a compelling image the general public usually doesn’t get to see. Combine that with a description of the circumstances of their arrest, as well as the ability of “fans” to offer their comments or opinions — and what person in a small town could possibly resist?

Weekly newspapers have long known how well read their police logs are. If The News ever stopped running the police logs, to, say, create more space for local government news, we’d hear about it in a heartbeat. It’s just a reality that we accept; neighbors want to know what’s going on with each other on a personal QUIET MOMENT — All was still except for words from a poem read by Cliff Purinton (left) during the Veterans Day service (Rivet Photo) level. And if they’ve broken the law, they especially want to know held in Lovell Village on Sunday morning. Listening intently was fellow veteran Ron Sanborn. about that. Sad to say, but bad news sells.

Through the posting of all kinds of useful information on its Facebook page, the Bridgton Police Department has created a strong and positive online community. That is most definitely a good thing, and residents and town government officials should be proud of what they’ve accomplished. As Police Chief Kevin Schofield wrote in his memo to the Bridgton Board of Selectmen, MUGSHOTS, Page B My friend was being too pessimistic — I thought.

Me and the Higgs

As part of the group that found the Higgs Boson (it was under a coat in the cloakroom), I have received many calls of congratulation from around the world. I always emphasize that I was just one member of a team (Crystal Palace) and that serendipity played a part in the discovery, as most of us thought Mrs. Charlton, under whose coat the mysterious and elusive particle was found, would never go home that night.

The popular press has unfortunately referred to the Higgs as “the God Particle,” when its lifespan is so brief it couldn’t possibly be God, and what we see is the result of a field, more than of an actual particle. A partial transcript of my team’s first press conference might hint at the intense interest our discovery raised around the world.

Le Monde: Prof. Collagen, what is the significance of the Higgs Boson?

Moi: It is a product of the Higgs field, which until we discovered it, or at least discovered its effects on a shelf in one of the ancillary rooms at CERN’s Hadron Large Collider, was theoretical only. It’s a force-carrier particle, kind of like a photon, only for mass instead of light. By some process we don’t understand, the Higgs gives mass to everything in the Universe.

New York Times: Dr. Corrugated, what is this process?

Me: We don’t understand how it works.

Pravda: How does the Higgs impart mass to the other particles, Professor Corbin?

Me: As I believe I have already noted, we don’t know how it works.

London Times: Could you explain, Dr. Corey, how this process provides mass in laymen’s terms, then?

Me: We don’t know how it works!

Le Figaro: Dr. Corrigan, could you tell us how the Higgs field teaches the various particles how to acquire mass?

without cutting programs that are so important to some of our most at-risk residents. As we head into the coldest months of the year, the challenges for older Mainers will undoubtedly grow.

We need to protect our longterm care services and supports and strengthen consumer protections so Mainers can stay in their own homes and communities as they age.

I hope our representatives will reach across the aisle and work together to find solutions that make sense now and for the future. I encourage all Mainers to play an active role in watching how things unfold in the months and years ahead and making sure their voices are heard throughout.

Meredith Tipton AARP Executive Council South Portland

To The Editor: Now that the elections are over, it is my hope that our newly elected and re-elected state and federal representatives will waste no time in focusing on the issues of concern to older Mainers and their families.

Issues such as financial and health security are of paramount importance to many of our older residents. The next Congress will be making decisions about the future of Social Security and Medicare. There are many options likely to be considered in 2013 that will have an effect on the long-term solvency of both of these programs.

Now, the work truly begins and I am looking forward to hearing how campaign promises will turn into meaningful To The Editor: action.

Measure of compromise

Medicare nugget

By Stan Cohen Medicare Volunteer Counselor There are four Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) that are not going to be available in Maine in 2013.

Both the CCRx Basic and CCRx Choice plans will be gone, as well as the Health Net Orange plan.

By now, folks who are currently enrolled in those plans should have received a notice about their withdrawal. Additionally, WellCare is pulling its “Signature” plan and has notified its enrollees that, unless they change to some other plan, WellCare will put them in the WellCare Classic plan.

So, while I encourage everyone who has Part D to check out the plans for 2013

to see which plans best cover their particular medicines at the lowest cost sharing; those who are now enrolled in one of the four plans mentioned above should definitely investigate the 2013 Part D offerings. The opportunity to make changes ends on Dec. 7.

Special note: During the Fall Open Enrollment period, in addition to Medicare Counselor Stan Cohen’s availability at Bridgton Hospital on Tuesdays from 8 to 11 a.m., counselor Phil Ohman will be available by appointment on Tuesdays at the Naples Library from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Thursdays at the Bridgton Community Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Has good government become bad politics? Unpredictable News Columnist

A Rep’s View

by Richard Cebra State Representative

This will be my last column for The Bridgton News as an elected official. Due to term limits, my time in the Maine Legislature has come to an end.

I will always be grateful to the citizens of my district for giv-

ing me the opportunity to serve these last eight years. But before I go, let me leave you with a few thoughts about the recent election.

When the dust settled, Republicans had lost their major-

ity status in the Maine House and Senate. Several reasons have been cited for this unexpected reversal. Some people say it was at least partly a referendum on Governor LePage. Others say the same-sex marriage referendum brought out a large number of people, mainly students, who ordinarily don’t vote.

Some point to the huge amounts of outside money that poured into the Maine Democratic Party, enabling them to outspend Republicans in House races by a three-toone margin. Other folks say the avalanche of negative and

baldly untruthful advertising by Democrats turned the tide by swaying voters who didn’t know the actual facts.

And, of course, media bias played a huge role in the Republican defeat. What are we to expect when the largest newspaper chain in the state is owned by Wall Street billionaire Donald Sussman, now married to Congresswoman Chellie Pingree?

It’s bad enough that the vast majority of reporters and editors are hard-core Democrats. But when a person like Sussman BAD POLITICS, Page D

November

November is one of my favorite months. Some folks have told me they dislike November because it is dark, cold and gloomy, but if those folks could be here in the morning, to see the sun rising from behind the eastern hill and splashing light and color across the yard, they might change their minds.

It is a month of surprises. Along with the expected raw windy days and heavy rain, we have had a quick snowstorm and glorious days with warm bright sunshine. The sun rides lower in the sky in November, its rays slanting across the landscape in unusual and beautiful ways. A few days ago, after a rainfall, sunlight shone horizontally under an overcast sky, illuminating every wet blade of grass, every rock, every tree, and every ripple on the lake until they glittered and gleamed as if drenched in molten silver. When the light shifted the scene changed to flat gray, but while those few silver coated moments lasted they were pure magic.

Letters

(Continued from Page D) again stated that he would review today’s controversial issues by looking at the Constitution as it was understood by its authors: if they accepted something then, we should accept the same thing now. If they did not then, we should not now.

The difficulty with this view is that the authors of the U.S. Constitution accepted slavery.

The men at Philadelphia in 1787 were gravely divided on this issue. But, to the dismay of abolitionists, then and later, the Constitution allowed slavery to continue.

The authors of the Constitution accepted something that most of us consider immoral and reprehensible. Why would people who are venerated today as having, some believe, divine insight, approve such a thing?

They did it because without a compromise on this issue, the United States Constitution and the birth of this nation would not have happened. Those men accepted what we now think unacceptable because they knew that there would be no union of the states if the two sides could not reach some kind of agreement. Why isn’t that ability to compromise enshrined as a major principle of American government?

Politics today is so contentious that the slightest attempt to practice bipartisanship often brings an end to political careers.

The issues that divide us today are not nearly as fundamental as slavery. However, the Congress, state legislative bodies and politicians down to the precinct level have been locked in stalemate because they are seeing current issues as absolutes. Each faction seems to be so caught up in promoting a singular point of view that governing is at a standstill.

The people at Philadelphia may have made a bad bargain.

The question of slavery did threaten to tear the union apart, but the actions and traditions that developed in the interim were the very ones that held the union together. Could it be that a measure of compromise among today’s political factions might make this country stronger and better able to face what the future might bring?

Dee Miller Bridgton

must have rocks in their heads.

I can’t understand how people will support and endorse a candidate, to positively represent us in the State House, when a candidate’s own “house” continues to be an eyesore and negatively impacts and misrepresents the heart and soul of a town. Does anyone else see the condition of this “house?” Is anyone bothered by the condition of this “house?” Does this property invite people to want to stop, stay and set up shop? Does this property represent what we all want our town to look like?

Does this property tell a tale?

This such property exists and is currently a scarecrow at one of Bridgton’s gateways, shooing people away.

When so many other owners take pride in their properties with upkeep and improvements, they are investing their hearts and souls in a vision, creating a town that is unique, charming, vibrant, clean, alive and bustling with business. Having a clean and well-maintained property is a good role model that attracts business, promotes business and benefits a town and its inhabitant. Would any candidate not agree?

I suggest if candidates want to “make Maine more attractive to businesses” and “represent us,” it would behoove all of our towns for candidates to please lead by example. Simply “fix” their own “house” before “fixing” our big “house.” The candidate’s neighbors will appreciate it; the town will appreciate it; visitors will appreciate it; and yes, the state will appreciate it.

Actions do speak louder than words.

I will gladly contribute a gallon of paint to this cause. Surely, the supporters and endorsers will continue to have the candidate’s back, and additionally, many will cross party lines to get the job done. Maybe then, I will no longer be troubled by these supporters and endorsers, or think they have rocks in their heads.

Thank you

To The Editor: We would like to thank the Lake Region High School students for their Trunk Trick or Treat. Every car was decorated in a theme: Christmas, jail, pirates, etc. The students dressed up to match the theme.

It was very organized and safe for the trick or treaters. We had a great time seeing everyone’s costumes and loved the Wizard of Oz family. Hope you do it again next year.

Early Christmas

To The Editor: We want to take a moment to thank Jeannine Oren for her early Christmas present to the residents of Casco. It is so exciting to know we have to pay around $18,000 for a lawsuit she never had a chance to win (see next paragraph). But, please keep in mind that her campaign platform was to save the taxpayers of Casco money.

This seems to be a perfect example of an oxymoron.

As a professional accountant (Steve), both in the public and private sector for 35-plus years, I can state for a fact that this last suit filed had to be baseless as all accountant’s work papers and schedules are the property of the accounting firm and not for public disclosure unless they were released by them to the client, in this case the town. I know for fact they were not!

I (Larry) retired three years ago. At that time, my wife and I decided to sell our house and camp and buy one place on a lake or with a right-of-way. We found the house we wanted on Thomas Pond. Before making an offer, I did some checking into the politics of Casco as we did not want to live where there were obvious problems.

I heard only good things about our town government. I was told that our town manager, Dave Morton, is a good man who treats all fairly and listens to what you have to say. After meeting Dave, I would agree that he is a man whom I am pleased to have heading our local government.

The one thing we were not prepared for, as it never came up, was that there is another person in town that has even more knowledge than Dave as to how to run the town and what’s best for all. We have watched the different interactions of Jeannine and those who serve the town. We have been appalled by what we have seen in recent years here. How does one person honestly believe that she has all the answers and the rest of the people at the town office are confused, misinformed and out to serve only themselves?

Something we have learned over the years is that we might not have many answers to questions, but we will work with anyone to try to find them.

We are not arrogant enough to believe that everyone should listen to us because we are right all of the time. In fact, it is a wiser thing to do to let those in position do their jobs and leave them alone. Most of the time, things will get done and done correctly.

Finally, wasn’t there a loud and clear message sent to Jeannine about what the voters of Casco think of her and her views in the last election?

Once again, we thank Jeannine for her “saving Casco taxpayers money” pledge and the gift it brings with it. Oh, and Jeannine, how are you going to continue to save us money?

Planning excellence

To The Editor: I wanted to share how proud and happy we are as citizens of Bridgton to have such an organized, personalized and compassionate planning board.

The board members have handled matters that concerned the town and community with open eyes. They have gone out of their way to accommodate all of us. We feel they have made excellent decisions that were best for both parties.

Many thanks to the members of the board. Their time and consideration are very much appreciated. We like to send a special congratulations for the excellent job our planning board does.

It makes me very proud

To The Editor: Twice this year, I have had the opportunity to spend time at the Bridgton Town Hall on voting day. Bridgton’s volunteers and employees, who oversee the integrity of our voting process, are amazing.

Through long hours, uncomfortable chairs, mishaps, questions and confusion they remain calm, pleasant and professional. They make me very proud to be a voter in Bridgton.

Congratulations to each one of them for their dedication to the democratic process and positive voter experience in Bridgton.

In my town, we have a paper ballot that we have to mark to make our choice. I don’t know who the genius was that designed the ballot, but for those with poor sight it was a challenge. I kept looking for a box to make my nark in, but there wasn’t one. Instead, there was an oval, which you had to

Ethel Hurst Lovell

Keep the cash rolling

To The Editor: The American people have spoken loud and clear. Voters have given their stamp of approval to the last four years of massive consolidation of power to an overwhelming and out of control central government.

Americans have given their assent to President Obama and the Democratic Party to continue to spend staggering sums of money that the country does not have on numerous projects that make no sense whatsoever other than to buy favor with favored constituencies. We are running up trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see.

If we are not able to borrow the money, we will simply run the printing presses full blast regardless of the horrific inflation that is sure to ensue.

There will never be a Republican elected to the office of president of the United States again. The entitlement class is only going to continue its explosive growth during another Obama term. Blacks voted the Democratic line over 90% of the time. Hispanics vote Democratic in excess of 70% of the time, and they will soon be the dominant demographic group.

The president and his party will only greatly increase their obeisance to their numerous special interest groups, which will be great for them but devastating for the survival of our once great country.

Many of us believe that our nation has passed the point of no return and is now racing toward economic disaster. We clearly have become just another nanny welfare state, whose

best days are long gone.

Because of what we see down the pike, we will continue to get our own fiscal houses in order and we will prepare to assist our families in weathering the almost certain arrival of financial Armageddon.

We believe in our system of governance and fully accept the will of the people. We will continue to obey all the laws of the land as we always have.

However, we will exercise our right to speak out as the occasion warrants.

May God grant us the peace necessary to cope with the difficult times sure to come.

Robert M. Howe Jr. Bridgton

Election reflections

To The Editor: Thank you to the people who quietly went about their lives while the voices of hate and divisiveness raged and postured, then when it mattered, cast their vote for a good, intelligent, hardworking man to remain president of our country for a second term.

I learned a lot from those loud, ugly voices. It was as though they held up a mirror and I saw myself reflected. It was not pretty. I thank them too.

(Continued from Page D) the first wave of voters. To our surprise, we also experienced over 300 new voters, and their paperwork was properly processed. Doing all of this work takes advance preparations and planning. Bridgton citizens are very fortunate in that we can call upon many qualified workers who come in and help the voters as they pass through the incoming registration tables, ask generic questions and assure them that their ballots are being properly deposited into the voting machine. Though this appears to be rather simple at first glance, remember that these workers are trained to assist, they know their jobs

and are more than willing to do them with a smile.

We wish to thank each and every election worker for their dedication and sense of civic pride. You all did a superb job and we wanted you and our community to know this. We also want to invite people who might be interested in being an election worker to contact us at 647-8786 to discuss this possibility for the future. Bridgton, like other Maine communities, has a great group of people who make this most traditional and patriotic job very special and worthwhile.

Thank you, Bridgton Board of Selectmen, Laurie Chadbourne, Town Clerk Mitchell Berkowitz, Town Manager

Breaking point

To The Editor: I recently came across quotes from Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who came to the United States in 1831 and later wrote, Democracy in America.

Almost 200 years ago, de Tocqueville understood the course of actions that would lead to the downfall of our great country, and what lies ahead for the people once our democracy dies.

Consider his statement, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always

America has reached that point. There are now more takers than givers to the public treasury. This combined with our loose fiscal policies is going to fundamentally transform America. The greed of politicians only adds to our dilemma. de Tocqueville also noted, “The American Republic will endure until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.” We, the people, are being bribed and we are working in concert with our own government to ensure the destruction of our democracy.

This is what de Tocqueville said about socialism, “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom; socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common, but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” Socialism is bad enough.

lem: we have to produce another boson in a collision, and concentrate this time on identifying its spin number. So we have set Mrs. Charlton to the task of bumping into things in the lab. The world will hear of further results, I assure you. In the meantime, we are requesting the public’s assistance in reporting any high-energy particle collisions that may occur in their neighborhoods. Please send photos and any burned materials, as we cannot possibly investigate every case in person. We are busy men. Plus Mitzi, who, as one might imagine, is even busier.

Mike Corrigan earned his Ph. D. in particle physics online from the University of Phonetics.

(Continued from Page B) “Our Facebook page has over 3,300 fans, more than many larger police departments in much larger towns.”

We applaud their intent, as he describes it, “to both report and interact with the public in which we serve in the most transparent manner possible.”

All too often, police departments are perceived as insular, their officers as “uniforms” who are inaccessible and emotionally removed from the public. Through the savvy use of Facebook, the Bridgton Police Department has been able, in Schofield’s view, “to tell our story to the public and not necessarily rely on third party news media to do this for us.”

We don’t take any offense at that; we realize there’s some truth in Schofield’s view that “traditional print media may not have the ability to post information in a timely fashion, do stories in a timely fashion or they may choose not to do stories on various issues, a decision that we cannot control.”

The only problem we see with the Bridgton Police Department’s Facebook page is the practice of posting the mug shots. We realize that the comments feature is the lifeblood of social media, and we wouldn’t suggest taking that ability away from fans. As Schofield points

out, the comments feature is the main way to spread the word and build a fan base, since anytime someone posts a comment, that information is sent to friends, who can then, with a click, be sent directly to the BPD’s Facebook page to find out more.

The two page administrators, Schofield and Officer Joshua Muise, have used good judgment lately in removing the most negative comments, although that wasn’t always the case, especially before Selectman Bob McHatton first raised concerns about the Facebook page a few months ago. Prior to that, there were some really mean and nasty things being said, particularly with regard to the person’s appearance in the mugshot. Among these were such comments as, “She looks awful. She looks like someone punched her,” or “Looks like they grabbed this guy out of bed,” or “Just look at his picture, he looks like a moron.”

We haven’t seen any really objectionable comments lately, but we still see personal details about people’s lives being discussed publicly, which is concerning. However, Schofield’s right; the power of Facebook lies in the magic of giving everyone a voice, to say whatever it is they feel the need to say. It is, at its essence, an

emotional medium, personal and intimate like a conversation among friends, subject to both good gossip and bad.

It’s just the photos that we object to. We’re not talking studio shots here, or high school yearbook photos. These are pictures taken of people who, at best, are not having a good day. At worst — like the recent photo of a middle-aged woman arrested for drunk driving — they show people in a lot of pain, be it emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually, whose choices (either once or over and over again) led them to this ignoble place. Where is the positive value to be found, in going beyond the written information to also include a picture of their face? Schofield says the photos preclude against anyone falling victim to a case of mistaken identity, as recently happened in the Kennebunk prostitution case. We disagree.

Providing the complete name, date of birth and place of residence of an arrested person provides that assurance.

As of this writing we don’t know whether the Bridgton Board of Selectmen will impose any limits at their meeting Tuesday on the Bridgton Police Department’s Facebook page.

But we hope they do. And if so, we hope the police department will see it, not in a negative

light, but in keeping with their mission statement, which reads as follows: “We believe in the dignity and worth of all people. We are committed to providing high quality, community oriented police services with sensitivity, protecting constitutional rights, problem solving, teamwork, openness, continuous improvement in providing leadership to the police profession.

“Furthermore, it is the purpose of the Bridgton Police Department to uphold the law fairly and firmly, to pursue and bring to justice those who break the law, to keep the peace, to protect, help and reassure our citizens and do all this with integrity, common sense and sound judgment.

“The Bridgton Police Department must be compassionate, courteous, patient, acting without fear or favor or prejudice to the rights of others.

We need to be professional, calm and restrained in the face of violence and apply only that force which is necessary to accomplish our lawful duty.

“We must strive, so far as we can, to reflect the priorities of our community in the action we take. We must respond to well founded criticism with a willingness to change.”

— G.G.

If the spin was zero, it was the Higgs, and our ideas about cosmology and particle physics will be confirmed, and we have nailed down the last unicorn in the celestial zoo. If it was a spin of two, however, and that is a possible answer, then it was some other boson and we haven’t got a clue how the Universe works, any more than Mrs. Charlton does. In fact, if the spin is two, we should not even be here — which is what Mitzi Faberge said at one point later that night, if I remember correctly.

It was just extraordinary luck that anyone noticed, even then, although a knife salesman who happened by at that moment originally thought the burn pattern showed the likeness of Elvis, appearing on the wood as in a miracle. However, we are pretty sure Elvis Presley was not a boson.

I and some of my fellows (and jolly good fellows they are) immediately noticed the characteristic spray pattern that marked the violent collision of two protons, and careful analysis of the shelf showed that

Harriett C. Macdonald WINDHAM — Harriett C. Macdonald, of Windham, died ever so peacefully on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough with members of her family at her side. Harriett was born Aug. 29, 1914 in Dorchester, Mass., the second of four children born to the late Fred Walter Clement and Mae Lee (Brown) Clement. When she was a small child the family returned to Portland, Maine, where she grew up in the North Deering neighborhood. She graduated from Deering High School in 1932. In 1934 she married Ernest A.

Macdonald and settled in Naples, where they enjoyed life immensely, sharing with friends, neighbors and loved ones much kind and loving assistance. Francis passed away in 1980.

She was a life member of Pondicherry Chapter of Eastern Star. Her many interests were playing cards with family members, and playing Beano with her friends at Unity Garden, her home the last 6 years. Among her incalculable passions was reading, doing the daily crossword puzzles, Red Sox games, and local, state and global issues of the day. A further passion included up-to-date knowledge of both academic and athletic achievements of all of her grand, great-grand and great-great grandchildren.

Martin L. Burnham Martin Leon “Marty” Burnham of Bridgton passed away Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012 at the Bridgton Hospital. He was 73. Martin was the only child of Franklin R. and Celesta Merrow Burnham, who predeceased him. Martin was a former resident of Portland and South Portland.

For the past 32 years he lived at the Good Neighbors Home in Bridgton, where he was very popular with the residents and staff. “Marty” had a keen sense of humor, loving to tease and joke around. Often, when annoyed by staff, he would suddenly announce, “you’re fired!” He had a passion for hamburgers, fries and chocolate milk. He loved his videos of “Little House on the Prairie,” “The Walton’s,” John Wayne and Gene Autry.

In his younger years, Martin remarkably could name every make of car on the road, which later led to his collecting small model cars. He also liked anything to do with trains.

He was very interested in history and past presidents, with a favorite being Jack Kennedy.

Marty enjoyed his mini vacations, day trips, Sea Dog and Red Sox games, and was always happy with visits from family members.

Martin is survived by an aunt, Audrey Kennison, of Gorham, Judith Rumery, his cousin and guardian, of Cape Elizabeth; and several additional cousins.

A celebration of Martin’s life was held from 1–3 p.m., Monday, Nov. 12th at his home on Meadow Road, Bridgton. Interment was held at Brooklawn Memorial Park, Portland.

Martins family is extremely grateful for all the love, patience and compassion he received from the staff at Good Neighbors Inc., and especially those on Meadow Road. Online condolences may be expressed at www.hobbsfuneralhome.com

Letters

(Continued from Page B) are not arguments for a viewpoint; they are behaviors, civilized behaviors to be desired from anyone on any side. I have no quarrel ever with civilized behavior; what I would like to see, or better yet to understand, are the whys of her or any liberal’s positions.

As for Ms. Durr’s response to my view of Mitt Romney as a truly decent and honorable man, evidently she hasn’t heard or read much about him.

Her loss and ours in turning him down. She answers my views about Barack Obama and his dishonesty (Benghazi, hardly irrelevant) and ambition by changing the subject to Romney and his alleged dishonesty. I have seen this type of so-called argument time and again. It leads nowhere.

I have no desire either to denigrate or humiliate Ms. Durr and believe I have done neither. For starters, I do believe she means well and I respect that; however, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and, regardless of how nice it is (and I agree, it is) that President Obama and Governor Christie got together with respect to the devastation

of Hurricane Sandy, that sort of thing is easy, pretty useless, and in good part just a photo op. What is important, however, is the direction in which the president is taking the country, toward an ever-more intrusive nanny-state. To me, that is disturbing and at odds with the founding of this great country.

And that, to me, is what I cannot understand in those of a liberal persuasion.

World War II and went on a morphine drip last Tuesday — Election Day. The family is around his bed waiting for the end.

What strikes me is how analogous that is to our nation’s condition. We just reelected a president who has promised to continue for another four years with the policies that have increased our national debt by 50% and stagnated our economy. Whereas the family waiting for my father-in-law’s death is fully cognizant that he’s dying, the electorate that put President Obama in for another term last

Tuesday doesn’t understand that America as we know it is dying too. My father-in-law will be gone inside a week, but our country may limp along for months or even years.

The fiscal cliff looms for January. That budget problem our government put off dealing with? It’s coming up soon.

Does President Obama realize that he’s inheriting a much bigger mess for his second term than he did for his first?

Who is he going to blame it on this time?

Bird Watch: The unpredictable November

(Continued from Page D) This week, we brought our bird feeders up from the basement, where they had spent the summer, and we filled them with seeds and suet. Within minutes, a white-breasted nuthatch and a chickadee landed on the seed feeder, followed by a tufted titmouse, blue jays, and a couple of goldfinches. Then, the downy and hairy woodpeckers discovered the suet. Now, whenever we looked out the window we see movement and color: gray, white, black, green, blue, brown and a touch of red.

In addition to our year-round residents, we have been enjoying three female common mergansers who are visiting the cove and who like to perch on rocks surrounded by water. Some rocks are hidden just under the surface, so it looks as if the birds are standing on the water. This morning, five more common mergansers flew in. Suddenly, they all started paddling across the lake to become airborne, and then we saw a bald eagle flying at treetop

level. The eagle might have hoped to have merganser for breakfast, but when it realized it would be too much trouble to catch one it changed course and flew in a different direction.

November is a good time to be on the alert for news of migrating birds. One day last week, we drove over to Fryeburg Harbor to look for a greater white-fronted goose, a bird who breeds across the far northern parts of the globe. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, these geese are common west of the Mississippi River, but are rare in the northeast. Occasionally, an individual from Greenland, who normally would spend the winter in Ireland or Scotland, shows up here. We found this mediumsized goose in a flock of larger Canada geese, all of whom were picking at the ground of a plowed field, hunting for the grains and seeds that make up much of their diet. It was brownish gray, with orange legs, a large area of white on the lower belly and under the tail and dark markings along the flanks and side of the breast.

The name white-fronted refers to a ruff of white feathers around the base of the bill, where it meets the face. We also saw three sandhill cranes in another field. Today, though, we were not so lucky. We had heard reports of horned larks, snow buntings, and a Lapland longspur in that area, but we were not able to find them.

Closer to home, we found pine grosbeaks in the trees along South High Street, opposite Bridgton Hospital, as well as in trees in the Bridgton Town Office parking lot.

November is a time of transition. One day the ground may be covered with snow, but another day may be so summer-like we paddle our canoe on the lake. It’s a time to be on the lookout for birds arriving for the winter, or touching down here on migration. November is unpredictable, with the potential to amaze and delight us with crazy weather, new and different birds, and moments of incredible beauty.

Has good government become bad politics?

(Continued from Page D) owns the media and also pours huge sums of money into political campaigns, we face a much more disturbing situation. Maine has never before encountered anything like this, where a person with unlimited funds can basically buy elections. We’re used to this at the national level — President Obama raised $1 billion for his campaign. However, when bigtime Wall Street money begins seeping into local legislative races, Maine has profoundly changed.

All these factors played a role in the eventual outcome, but there’s something else at work, both in Maine and nationally. Policies geared to free enterprise are increasingly rejected by people, who prefer that government take care of them. How else can we explain the victory of Barack Obama over Mitt Romney? Obama took a bad economy and made it worse, while presiding over a gigantic welfare expansion in the face of a $16 trillion national debt. With the country hurtling toward economic disaster, he runs up stupendous annual deficits, with no end in sight, and seems not to care. Yet, he beat a successful businessman and governor who laid out a plan to avert a financial collapse. It didn’t matter. Obama promised more freebies to the takers, and they carried him over the top.

The situation in Maine was similar. When Republicans took over the legislature in 2010, we discovered enormous

problems that the Democrats had ignored over their 40-year reign.

Our health insurance system was among the worst in the nation, imposing backbreaking costs for coverage. We fixed it by moving our system closer to the American mainstream.

Rates for small groups and individuals are already moderating or dropping.

The burgeoning debt in the public pension system for teachers and state workers threatened to cannibalize funding for education and MaineCare. We fixed that, too, by curbing costof-living increases and raising the retirement age to 65. Maine taxpayers will save more than $3 billion as we pay off this “unfunded liability,” and the retirement system is financially stable over the long haul.

Maine’s income taxes were too high, an albatross around the neck of job creators and regular citizens. We responded with the largest tax cut in the state’s history, dropping the top rate from 8.5% to 7.95% and increasing amounts for standard deductions and personal exemptions. Middle-income families will see income taxes drop by over $300 starting next year, and 70,000 low-income filers will now pay zero income tax.

Business owners told us that Maine’s wild jungle of regulatory red tape was the biggest impediment to business success and job creation. We solved that by sending a legislative task force that held hearings all over the state. The result-

ing legislation eliminated regulations that were redundant, unnecessary or counterproductive. That overhaul changed the whole regulatory climate, so that now regulators and the regulated work towards mutually beneficial outcomes.

Moreover, we reformed the unemployment system to root out fraud, modernized the workers compensation system to help get workers back on the job without making lawyers rich, and exposed the crook running the Maine Turnpike Authority. He’s now doing 42 months in prison for felony theft.

These changes were aimed at our central goal — economic revival and job creation. Positive results came quickly. In the 10 years before Republicans took control of the legislature, Maine created a grand total of 56 net new jobs, while the population grew by 44,000. In the first year of Republican pro-growth policies, Maine employers added 7,400 jobs.

In short, Republicans did the “heavy lifting” that the Democrats had avoided while they built Maine’s enormous welfare system. In return, the voters kicked us out in favor of the same people who created our economic mess. That’s why I’m wondering if good government is bad politics. If that’s the case, I fear for our future.

Opinions

The voice of the people has spoken Views from Senate

by Bill Diamond State Senator, D-Windham

Well, at long last the election is over, the votes are (mostly) counted and we can all get back to our lives. This was a very interesting election for me, because for the first time in quite a while, I wasn’t on the ballot. Due to our term limits

law, I was unable to seek reelection to the Senate, and as a result I could watch things with a little more distance than usual.

The way the election turned out was both interesting and surprising and I’d like to share my thoughts on it with you.

Nationally, as we all know, President Obama was re-elected, the Democrats retained control of the Senate and the Republicans control the House.

Maine made news on the national front by showing its independent streak by electing independent former governor Angus King to the U.S. Senate.

Not only did he win, but he received over 50% of the vote, far outpolling the candidates of the major parties.

On a statewide level, the voters seemed to want change and the election showed many gains for the Democrats in the State

House. While there will be several recounts, the Democrats have taken back control of both the House and the Senate, however the recounts turn out. This divide between the Republican Governor, Paul LePage, and the Democratic Legislature should make interesting viewing for political junkies for the next two years. If they can work together they can accomplish some great things, but if not then there will be two years of deadlock and frustration. As I said, it will be interesting to see which path they take.

Locally, the results were

more mixed, but the overall theme of change was still evident. In Bridgton, the House seat formerly held by Republican Paul Waterhouse has been taken over by Democrat Lisa Villa.

My seat, Senate District 12, has switched parties and is now held

by Republican Gary Plummer, while his old House seat has been won by Democrat Jane Pringle. Meanwhile, the other Windham House seat, which was held by Democrat Mark Bryant, went to Republican Thomas Tyler. Although these were all vacant seats, and no incumbents were defeated, it

Remembering our veterans Letters Views from Senate

by Susan Collins United States Senator

For more than two centuries, young Americans have left the comfort and security of home in order to preserve our freedom and to extend the blessings of freedom to others.

Veterans Day is a solemn anniversary — a day set aside not to celebrate victory in a great battle, but to honor the sacrifice that brought peace. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 was not marked by the roar of cannon. Rather, it was the moment the guns were silenced by courage, devotion to duty, and a commitment to freedom.

The virtues that brought about that silence echo through the ages.

It is appropriate that Veterans Day now honors all who have defended our nation. Whether they serve in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marine, whether they serve in the regular forces, the National Guard or the Reserves, they sacrificed much to serve our country.

It was my father who taught me to honor our veterans. A World War II veteran, my father earned his Purple Heart when he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. From my father, I learned that the heroes who wear the uniforms of America’s armed forces are peace loving, caring men and women who put aside the comforts of civilian life to advance the cause of freedom.

In this 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War, we reflect today with reverence upon a generation that served with honor but often with little thanks. Across Maine and throughout America, we pay tribute to the nine million men and women who wore our nation’s uniform during the Vietnam era, advancing the sacred ideals of liberty and self-determination.

All gave some and some gave all. The names of the more than 58,000 patriots who gave their lives in Southeast Asia, including 339 from Maine, are forever etched in black granite on the Vietnam Memorial in our nation’s capital. The names of the nearly 1,800 Americans, who remain unaccounted for, including 14 from Maine, are forever etched in our hearts. None will ever be forgotten.

We best honor the fallen and the missing by honoring the veterans with us today. During my time in the U.S. Senate, I have had the privilege helping many of these heroes receive the medals and honors that they earned and deserve, but in some cases never received at the time.

Ted Smith of Richmond is among those patriots of the Vietnam Era, who carried on our nation’s tradition of advancing the sacred cause of freedom with courage and devotion. He served two tours of duty with the U.S. Navy’s legendary Seabees, providing, in the words of Navy Secretary Paul Nitze, “vitally needed logistic support to growing numbers of United States and Allied military personnel.”

It is an honor to have recently helped Mr. Smith secure the medals and ribbons he earned through his courageous service. These include the Vietnam Service Medal with three bronze stars, the Combat Action Ribbon, and the Meritorious Unit Citation for Gallantry ribbon bar from the Republic of Vietnam, among others. Each symbolizes courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty, and the gratitude of an entire nation.

We are fortunate to live in a state in which so many have served our nation with honor. This Veterans Day, we should also remember the parents, the wives and husbands, the children and other loved ones of our veterans and troops. Their sacrifices are great, and we must thank them as well.

The Americans we honor on Veterans Day fought for the security of our nation, and for benefit of mankind. Those who serve today — the veterans of tomorrow — carry on this great mission. They have earned our deepest thanks, not just on Veterans Day, but for all the days to come.

BIG thanks to Bill (Willis) Robbins of RW Merrill Electric for installing a temporary electrical system so we wouldn’t blow a fuse plugging in all the crock pots and other appliances.

Also to our Town Manager Bud Finch, John Wentworth and Richard Jennings for helping me get the café ready.

And only two days later was the Parks and Rec Senior Social and Luncheon! It happened with the help of the following dedicated volunteers who made the pumpkin pies and/or helped

tells me that the voters were not bound by any sense of party loyalty and were probably voting for the candidate rather than the party.

Finally, I offer my congratulations to the winners of all the respective races, whatever your party affiliation. You have been given a great honor and with it comes a great responsibility.

Use it wisely.
