Unlock the Gate to FOYDP’s Ongoing Project YORK Good news for the Friends of York Dog Park (FOYDP)’s ongoing dog park project! The park’s fencing was recently installed, encompassing one acre of open space for furry friends to jump, run and frolick. The installation by Tatro Fence reflects a huge stride in the organization’s steps to create a community dog park. The park is nearly
complete, and is almost ready to open. FOYDP’s “still-to-do” list includes required signage, insurance, adherence to accessibility guidelines, benches and a waste disposal system, many of which must be in place before the town can issue the proper use permits for the park. FOYDP has come close to raising almost all of its target goal of $90,000, thanks to the individuals, businesses and
grants who so have generously donated already. The organization is still in need of a final $8,500 to unlock the gates and host an opening day. The final push to raise the remaining funds is underway. FOYDP is appealing to dog owners and community minded people alike to consider contributing. The sooner the remaining funds needed are raised the
sooner the padlocks come off! Friends of York Dog Park is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of York residents, with a mission to develop and maintain a community dog park that provides a safe and controlled environment where dogs and their owners can meet.

an uptick of fraudulent identifications (A.K.A fake IDs). The copies are very good, and establishments in the area are encouraged scrutinize carefully all IDs examined. The use of fake IDs is believed to be on the rise because technology has made it much easier to duplicate a legitimate ID. The improved quality, combined with easy access online, makes it much easier for underage youth to try and gain access to alcohol or to enter age-restricted venues which sell alcohol. Maine state law states that liquor licensees cannot confiscate or seize a fake ID, but can retain it for a reasonable amount of time to verify the individual’s age. The following is information about identifying fake IDs and how to legally retain them.

Check state seals, images or signatures that are superimposed over the picture and informational sections of the license or ID. If they are missing, “split,” seem off-centered, or appear to have been tampered with, it is likely the picture has been replaced. Have them sign their signature to see if it matches up. Look for holograms or print using the following language or symbols which may indicate possible forgery, such as “seal of authenticity,” “genuine,” “authentic,” “secure,” or “valid.” When concerned about the age of a patron, ask questions such as: “What’s your age?”, “What’s your date of birth?”, “What’s your middle name?”, “What’s your address?”, “What See FAKE on page 9 . . .
