The turbine was recently constructed on the former President George W. Bush’s property at Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport as a personal initiative by he and his wife Barbara. (Stowell P. Watters photo) Wind turbine is newest addition to Walker's Point By Stowell P. Watters Staff Writer Something is different about the view of Walker’s Point from Ocean Avenue, in Kennebunkport. “The former President was approached by a wind power company during the summer, after doing some research and looking at wind maps of the area, we found out that a wind turbine is something we are interested in, so we went for it,” said Jim Appleby, personal aid to the 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush. Residents and tourists alike will now be able to view a new, 33 foot Skystream 3.7 wind turbine near the American Flag. The turbine was designed by SouthWest WindPower in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Previously, the company installed one of these three-bladed turbines at the Farmington Wastewater Treatment Facility (WTF). Superintendent Steve Moore has only good things to say about the device. “When the thing really gets going you hear a bit of a chirp. The (Skystream) 3.7 cost us around $12,500 but we predict we will be saving $1,300 to $1,400 a year, and that we will make our money back in eight to nine years,” Moore said. “People come down, ask about it, and it gets us all thinking about the environment. Things are in motion now.” Although the WTF turbine was installed only two weeks ago Moore said the Farmington plant has received a load of positive public comment. Bob Greig is the owner of All Season Home Improvement, the company that sells SouthWest WindPower turbines in Maine. Their office has been in Augusta for 14 years, but has only recently started installing and selling the turbines. “About a year ago I was watching this news special on the Skystream 3.7 and how there was one going up in New Jersey, I said to myself ‘gee, that’s pretty interesting’ because most all wind power generators had previously been so huge, so cumbersome,” Greig said. In fact, the Skystream 3.7 is the smallest turbine produced by the Arizona company, thus making it a hot ticket, according to customer service representative (See WIND page 7) Controversial exhibit discussed High schoolers WHERE IT BEGAN – This piece was taken down after Kennebunk Free Library Director Janet Cote said it didn’t meet normative community standards. The piece is made from discarded American flags and depicts Vice President Dick Cheney. (Ashley St. Michel photo) THE AUDIE AGENCY INSURANCE www.audieagency.com By Ashley St. Michel Staff Writer Tensions continued to rise Friday, Nov. 16, at the Kennebunk Free Library’s open forum to discuss and debate the decision to continue showing “American Portraits in a Time of War.” The forum was held in an effort to mediate discussions surrounding the exhibit and its artist, Gerald Bud Swenson, a Kennebunk resident since 1982. The exhibit consists of 22 collages using discarded, cut up American flag pieces to depict emotions of the American psyche after Sept. 11, 2001, according to Swenson, who adds the emotions can range from fear to despair and sometimes hope. An exhibit of Swenson’s artwork was scheduled for November at the library. A press statement from Kate Manahan, president of the library’s board of trustees said, Janet Cate, director of the library, received a sampling of the artwork before the library agreed to show it and knew the exhibit was potentially controversial. Cate discussed her concerns about the exhibit with the board during their October meeting, but decided to take part of the exhibit down after she received a complaint surrounding two of the collages from an unidentified citizen. Cate said the two pieces, which depict President George W. Bush wearing an awkward frown and Vice President Dick (See EXHIBIT page 21) ✔ Clean Driving Record ✔ Poor Driving Record ✔ Young Drivers ✔ Mature Drivers ✔ Families With Young Drivers ‘declaring their independence’ By Ashley St. Michel Staff Writer Anyone who has been a high school senior knows the strains and pressures students face during their final months before they enter the real world. Heartwood College of Art on York Street in Kennebunk is using the underground method of mail art to display the emotions of high school seniors in their “Declare Your Independence” exhibit. Susan Wilder, director of the project, said the theme Yes We Can! Call Us Now & Compare Before Paying Your Next Bill focuses on the fleeting moment students experience while living between two worlds – adulthood and childhood. “We were really trying to figure out how to get high school seniors to talk about how they feel during this time,” Wilder said. In its second year as an exhibit, Wilder said she was on a kayaking trip two years ago when she starting thinking about the pressures and the emotions students experi(See ART page 6) 300 Elm St., Biddeford 284-5265 Kennebunk Post November 23, 2007 Page 2 K'port gearing up for favorite Christmas celebration By Stowell P. Watters Staff Writer Since its inception 25 years ago, Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude celebration has done nothing but grow and expand with every passing year. What started as a tree lighting ceremony, a River Tree Center for the Arts concert, a chowder luncheon, candlelight caroling and Santa’s arrival by lobster boat has exploded into three tree-lighting ceremonies, a dozen Art and Craft Fairs and a dozen more venues serving food and festive drinks to revelers, according to the event’s Web site. Santa still comes trawling in, assisted by his elves. According to the Kennebunkport Town Historian, OFFICE edia CLOSED Mainely LLC Our office will be closed on Friday, November 23, so that employees can enjoy an extended Thanksgiving Holiday. Regular business hours will resume on Monday, November 26. Thomas Bradbury, Prelude was brought about in the spring of 1982 by Henry Pasco. He and his sister Pricilla owned a gift shop in Dock Square and were growing tired of having to financially hibernate once summer ended. “They were extremely generous to the community, a fabulous pair of civic minded brother and sister. They grew more concerned about the welfare of the town and this motivated them to create the Prelude,” Bradbury said. The community responded in great numbers and support, with members of the business community immediately jumping on the bandwagon. At the same time similar communities on Nantucket, Mass. and Marblehead, Mass. were staging their own Christmas celebrations. Trying not to steal their thunder, the Pascos formed committees in Kennebunkport and decided to call the new celebration “Prelude,” as a prelude to the Christmas. The celebrations take place on the first and second weekends of December and annually draw a crowd of thousands to the coastal town. “I love the lights, the way the town gets draped in decoration, the camaraderie of every volunteer who puts up lights and decorates and the way we all start really looking forward to the celebration, its really Adjacent Atlantic Hall will be opening it’s doors on Dec. 1 for a day-long Christmas craft fair containing 20 tables worth of antiques, collectibles, art and loads of other crafts. Balinda Woodsum is overseer for the event and she said there will be chowder, hotdogs and refreshments for all fair-goers. President of Atlantic Hall, Donald Fiske, is happy to “Its like Norman Rockwell meets Kennebunkport.” – Thomas Bradbury Kennebunkport Town Historian exciting,” Bradbury said. “Its like Norman Rockwell meets Kennebunkport.” The oldest ceremony in the Prelude will be taking place Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Cape Porpoise Square. The lighting of the Lobster Trap Tree, which is followed by caroling in the square and refreshments at the Cape Porpoise Fire Station, is sponsored by the Kennebunkport Business Association. see the historically charged building put to good use. “Woodsum is going to put on one heck of a fair, in addition to crafts and art by three local artists they are also going to be offering real Maine lobstah rolls,” Fiske said. On the morning of Dec. 1 the Washington Hose Fire Company in Lower Village will be hosting a full breakfast of Maine blueberry pancakes. That breakfast will run from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. That night, the Merry Makers group will give a performance and celebration of the winter season in a song, dance, drama and verse presentaiton. Proceeds will benefit the Kennebunk’s fuel assistance program and the show will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, in Kennebunk. Federal Jacks, a Shipyard brewpub and restaurant, will be gearing up by making sure they have plenty of Prelude Ale, an English Ale first offered by Shipyard in 1992. “It is a warm beer, our winter beer, and this year we changed the art on the label. For the first time the label is a painting of Dock Square done by South Portland artist Paul Black,” said Alan Pugsley, master brewer and owner of Shipyard. “We love this time of season because it gives us a chance to offer this unique ale and participate in this amazing celebration.” DENTURE SOLUTIONS ROBERT D.

G TIN LIS Bradbury said the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust is waiting until Jan. 5 for their celebration which is officially “The 12th Night” party. Much like a traditional medieval 12th night celebration, Bradbury said they will crown three kings, serve food and refreshments and have a “merry time.” “It will be a light hearted look at the year past. King’s garments are optional,” Bradbury said. The event will start at 7 p.m. Santa will be cruising in on his lobster boat and docking at the Landing Restaurant in Kennebunkport at 2 p.m. on Dec. 2. He will then parade through Dock Square with a host of elves, for photographs and time with children. This, however, is only the beginning, as Prelude will continue the following weekend.

Town Planner Aaron Shields released a statement in the November 2007 edition of The Arrow, Arundel’s monthly newsletter, detailing the articles to be considered for amendments. The first article was to choose a moderator to host the evening and keep the meeting on task. Article 2 asked for an amendment to the Arundel Comprehensive Plan, that affects the business/ office park/industrial area that encompasses the northern end of the Route 1 corridor in Arundel. Shields said the intention of the amendment was to accommodate larger, more nonresidential uses, including businesses, while creating a high quality environment that makes it attractive to more businesses. The amendment included removing the part of the article that limited retail uses to within the first 250 feet of Route 1. “This was basically a correction to the comprehensive plan based on what got adopted in June,” Shields said, adding local business people requested the town remove the restrictions for retail uses to be limited within that 250 feet. The article includes the development standards for the area, focusing on a well-designed and attractive site when any business is looking to build. The standards also require a landscaped area on or around the Eastern Trail or the residential areas adjacent to the area. Shields said he suspects more businesses may become interested in the area with the amended article, citing they would no longer be limited to such a small space. Shields said the vote wasn’t surprising since the amendment had passed in the fixed land use article. Article 3 asked to accept the amendment to the Arudnel Land Use Ordinance which set regulations and site specifications including agricultural processing and demonstration facilities. Shields said the amendment of the article first de- veloped one year ago when Kate’s Homemade Butter approached the town of Arundel about developing a plant or small business in the area. “They found a piece of land in our agricultural area, and they wanted to construct a factory on the land,” Shields said. ponent, without compromising the rural area that surrounds it. Shields said Kate’s Butter would have guided tours of the plant so students and teachers can come to the facility and learn more about how butter is made. Other requirements include a minimum lot size of 20 “It was a win, win for Arundel. Over the next couple years we are going to see these amendments provide future development and ease taxes.” – Aaron Shields Town Planner Shields said it wouldn’t be difficult to fit Kate’s Butter in with the area because the business could fit in an agriculture or an industrial area. While the amendment was made in direct relationship with Kate’s Butter, it includes the responsibilities and requirements for all facilities looking to come to Arundel. According to the amendment any businesses that develop in the area have to follow guidelines, including promoting clean, agriculturally related facilities with an educational com- acres and 50 percent of the lot area must be dedicated and permanently preserved as open space, which should be as near its natural state as possible unless it is utilized for forest or agricultural land. The educational aspect of the amendment also includes presenting a New England agricultural appearance in the area. Shields said he was happy with the passing of the amendment since it should only create more opportunities for the town to welcome new industrial businesses. Article 4 asked for the adoption of amendments to the Arundel Comprehensive Plan regarding future use of land. Shields said the amendment was necessary to allow Agricultural Processing and Demonstration Facilities, needed after the amendment was made for Kate’s Butter. “This was a very simple Comprehensive Plan amendment,” Shields said. “It specifically allowed agricultural uses in that district.” With the amended article, the uses of the Rural Conservation (R4) land is limited to residential, agri- cultural and other natural resource uses, including agricultural processing and demonstration facilities. The Planning Board Committee and the Arundel Board of Selectmen also passed an amendment to update residential growth areas and structure requirements for future development in those areas. Shields said this ordinance passed in accordance with Article 6, which asked if the town should adopt amendments to the Arundel Land Use Ordinance and district regulations regarding specific site and use performance. Shields said this particular amendment was passed in order to apply guidelines to seasonal resorts in the town. He said Arundel didn’t really have area set aside for seasonal cottages and (See MEETING page 22) RESERVE YOUR HOLIDAY PARTY NOW!

After noticing a few teenagers jumping from some rocks, Wilder said she came up with the title for the project but didn’t know how to apply it. After reading a book titled, “Post Secret” by Frank Warren, which uses mail art to express feelings of people all around the world, she immediately brought her ideas to Dean of Admissions Audrey Gup-Matthews. “I had never heard of mail art before,” Gup-Matthews said. “In fact, I didn’t know what to think when she approached me about it, but it has really turned into something interesting.” Mail Art is sent or exchanged through postal or other delivery services according to Wilder. Although Mail Art doesn’t have to been done on eight-and-a-half by five-and-a-half cards, Wilder said she thought the cards were a good way to give all the students the same material to work with. Mail art can include rubber stamping, stickers, handmade paper, photocopying, humor and text to describe or add to the artwork. “What we came up with was quite a lot of anxiety about the transition,” Wilder said. “Then it goes by and the students land on the other side and get past it. I wanted to capture that, especially for the adults and parents.” Wilder added it is important parents recognize the pressure students go through when making transition. Last year, Wilder said she was pleased to receive a total of 75 cards from high school students across the state. Wilder sends out flyers to all the high schools in Maine informing them about the project and how students can participate. The flyers give guidelines for the students to follow, including the size of the cards. Anyone who wants to contribute must have the cards sent through the postal system and the back of the card must include the label of the student’s high school and the student’s name. “You can draw anything you want on the front and on the back of the card,” Wilder said. “The only think I said in the rules is that I didn’t want Everything Must Go! Including Fixtures After 15 Years of business, Sincerely Yours will be closing its doors for good on Monday, November 26th. We wish to thank all our valued customers. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you. To those who have inquired about my health during the last few years, your concern has been greatly appreciated. anything obscene, otherwise it would get pitched.” Wilder said cultural differences are not common issue on the cards, and said she notices dark themes most often. “A lot of the cards that came in last year were a little bit dark,” Wilder said. “That was especially prevalent in the cards from some of the small towns located up north. Sometimes we forget down here that students in small towns have a completely separate set of issues to deal with.” Wilder said more students in northern Maine come from families who have never stepped onto a college campus. Since Maine has a high average of first generation college students, she said it’s hard for them to get information about secondary education. Another common theme in the cards, which Wilder said has carried over into some of the cards she’s received this year, is financial responsibility. She said this probably stems from the cost of education and the financial strain it could put on entire families. “It’s really an outlet for communication, especially for artists because they aren’t going to write a letter to the editor,” Gup-Matthews said. “But they will draw and paint, which is a valuable AFTER HOURS: Thursday, Nov. 29; 6-8PM Join us for refreshments and meet jewelry maker Tiana Morissettte & designer Shana Hennessey! 20% OFF original prices purchases of $100 or more ~ thru our last day – Mon.

But I think it’s most interesting because people get to see what teens are doing and it supplies young artists the chance to show their work and really start to get out there.” Wilder said the college accepts cards between Oct. 1 and Nov. 20. She said she receives more than two cards a day almost every day. Although the postal service may be bogged down by the incoming supply of mail art, Wilder said she hasn’t had a single incident involving the post office. Once all the cards are collected, the college puts them in plastic bags and on clips so people who attend the exhibit can touch and view the cards up close. Once the exhibit is over, the cards are sent back to the students. The exhibit runs from Dec. 9 to Dec. 20 in the Main Gallery at Heartwood College. HEATING BILLS OUT OF CONTROL?

It has a built FREE ENERGY — The newly installed wind turbine at Walker’s Point is visible from Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport. Jim Appleby, assistant to the 41st president, said the project came about after Bush was approached by sales representatives from SouthWest Wind Power. (Stowell P. Watters photo) in inverter, which allows it to connect directly to the user’s utility grid, enabling the turbine to turn on your regular power if the wind isn’t blowing at a good clip. Likewise the inverter will send any excess energy back to the grid for potential future credited use from the power company,” Reigner said. “It is a small, quiet, unobtrusive unit that costs anywhere from $12,000 to $14,000.” Greig’s company has already sold and installed 41 of these units across Maine, including the one at Walker's Point. Maine is the 13th windiest state according to www.iwindsurf.com, a Web site that gives upto-the-minute weather analysis and offers everything from wind maps to state vs. state statistics concerning wind. “Walker’s Point gets a lot of wind, as soon as we put it up it began to spin,” Greig said. Appleby affirmed although the former President does use photovoltaic solar paneling to give supplemental power to his home, the turbine is not a part of any “green” campaign the former President is a part of, only a personal decision. “He and Mrs. Bush are doing this specifically for their own needs, and will remain on the grid as the turbine does not completely power the home,” Appleby said. . November 23, 2007 Page 7 Credit unions ring in season and raise money for ending hunger Maine credit unions are celebrating the holiday season by offering a unique CD for a very special cause. The Christmas In Maine 20th Anniversary CD is now on sale at credit unions throughout the state. This CD, which includes two Grammy Award winners, features all Maine artists, such as Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary, Schooner Fare, Dave Mallett, Windham Chamber Singers, Joan Kennedy and more. The CDs are $15 each, with $4 from each CD going to the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. Con Fullam, producer of the CD and writer of several of the songs on the CD including The Maine Christmas Song, said that Maine’s credit unions have such a strong commitment to their communities that it made them the obvious partner for this special project. “This CD is a celebration of all that Maine people do to care for their neighbors during the holiday season and all year long. Maine credit unions capture the true spirit of this time of year with the many ways they care for their members each day, not just financially but socially, as well,” he said. John Murphy, president of the Maine Credit Union League, said this partnership reflects the true nature of the credit union movement. The CD celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Christmas classic, The Maine Christmas Song, and features a rendition by Windham Chamber Singers, as well as a special original version of the song, and a French version performed by 12-year-old Melanie Dorice Saucier of Fort Kent. It is also filled with traditional Christmas songs, as well as new songs soon to become favorites. Available primarily at Maine credit unions, the CDs will be on sale through Dec. 25. Since 1990, the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger has raised more than $2.3 million to help end hunger in Maine. One hundred percent of all funds raised goes to the cause of ending hunger and stays in Maine. Formed in 1938, the Maine Credit Union League is the State Trade Association for Maine’s 67-affiliated credit unions providing a variety of services and products to assist credit unions in meeting the needs of their membership.

Watters Staff Writer Audry Grumbling, an art teacher at Arundel’s Mildred L. Day School i n Arundel, recently returned f r o m Japan, where a Fullbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program allowed her to see Mt. Fuji, the “White Heron Castle” of Himeji, Tsukiji – the world’s largest fish market and a country-side dotted by watery rice paddies and brilliant pink square-lots of cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus). “While we have cultural differences, we all share this small planet. Through this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I hope to expand our school’s connection with the world,” Grumbling said in a written statement released by the school. Grumbling’s trip began on Oct. 14 when she departed from Portland International Jetport and headed to San Francisco, Calif. From there Grumbling flew to Japan, later showing the students her flight path as it followed the curve of the earth.

She and 20 other teachers from different states in the US stayed with a host family in the city of Himeji, located in the prefecture of Hyogo, Japan. Mr. Koji Kushimitsu and Mrs. Suchiko Kushimitsu, her host family, provided the group a look into real, modern Japanese culture. In preparation, Grumbling said she bought an audio-CD of American/Japanese translations. “They took us to so many cool places, and a Buddhist priest who lived with them was a Red Sox fan,” Grumbling said.

Kennebunkport was the ‘MECCA’ for dissent this past Summer. President Bush spent more time than usual at his family’s summer home. He entertained heads of state such as Russia’s President V.Putin and France’s President N. Sarkozy as well as recreating with his war profiteer cronies who “summer” there. President Bush’s visits attracted massive anti-war and impeachment demonstrations which in turn attracted the national and international media. Town officials received complaints from the business community, some wealthy retirees “who did not retire to the town to have to see protests in the streets,” and who knows, perhaps even the Bush family complained that they did not appreciate media attention focusing on dissent in Kennebunkport. Whatever the reason, the town wanted to put a lid on the protests which were growing in size with the August protest being the largest demonstration in the history of Maine. The Kennebunkport town ”deciders” created some new rules which would affect some events expected to draw more than 500 people. They also changed the application process aimed at making the permits more difficult to get. Formerly, permits were granted by the Chief of Police Joe Bruni, whom I had an excellent working relationship with. I applied for the permit and it was always granted in an expeditious manner. He had confidence that my organization would fulfill our end of the agreement. We always “left the grounds and streets cleaner than we found them,” according to Bruni. My organization always took out expensive event insurance to protect the town. The permitting process worked well, so there was no (See LETTER page 10) Molly's Musings By Molly Lovell Angels needed; serious inquires, please Last summer I adopted a soldier through an organization called Angels ‘n Camouflage, which links us civilians with a deployed solider or veteran. In becoming an angel, as we’re called, we agree to write a letter a week and send one package a month. I found out about the project when one of my colleagues wrote a story about the local chapter of AnC. Since working in newspapers I’ve learned about oodles of organizations working for the greater good that are always encouraging people to get involved. There are several I saw myself joining, but never took the next step. Becoming an angel, however, was something I felt I needed to do. I can give you one reason, one image for why I wanted to do this: a soldier waiting to hear their name at mail call, and leaving empty handed. It didn’t seem fair to me. At AnC soldiers sign up for this program and again, I felt a certain unfairness when I learned the amount of veterans and deployed needing angels far exceeded the number of available angels. When I signed up, Bob joked that I would start writing to my soldier, fall madly in love and run away with him when he came back to the United States. He joked, but I think there was a little bit of seriousness in his voice. Taking his silliness with a grain of salt, I awaited an email with my soldier’s name and address and whatever other details I needed to know about him. A few days later a message from AnC appeared in my inbox and guess what? I got a girl! I felt an overwhelming pride when I saw her name knowing that she was mine to take care of. I thought it was even better that I was going to be corresponding with a fellow female as I would know exactly what to send her and write in letters. When I got that email all I knew was her name and the day and month of her birthday – it’s all I know now. AnC is clear in that that you might not hear from your soldier St. Michel Says Got a letter to send? The Post welcomes your letters. Send us letters by mail (P.O.

Kennebunk Post By Ashley St. Michel This holiday season I am only asking for one gift – a Garmin Street Pilot GPS navigator. It’s no longer just a matter of need; it’s an emergency. I know I have never said I was great with maps, but during the last few months I have realized my knowledge of geography is less than sub-par. Fortunately for me, I already know I need additional time to get anywhere outside of Portland or Augusta, so my poor geographical skills haven’t become a prominent problem. But I know it’s only a matter of time. And I am pretty sure I know where it originated from. Of course, like most of my life stories, this one starts with my parents. When I was young, my grandparents on my dad’s side lived in Naples, only a few hundred yards from Sebago Lake. We made many trips with my dad’s boat to their house, some- November 23, 2007 Page 9 until months of letters and packages, or even at all. That’s one of the reasons why I’m writing about this. First, is because there’s been recent influx of soldiers signing up and again, not enough angels. Another is because apparently some angels have gone AWOL on their soldiers. I suspect it’s because they haven’t heard from their deployed. I’ll be honest, I wish I knew more about mine. I hope she doesn’t think my letters are boring. When I write her about things like camping trips and holidays I wonder after if I shouldn’t have mentioned them – I don’t want her to feel bad. If I write about a bad day at work, I hope she doesn’t think I’m complaining too much because, really, compared to her situation, I have nothing to complain about. And some weeks, I just don’t have much to say, so I send a postcard. I wonder about her a lot. I imagine that she’s young, though I don’t know for sure. I hope that she has good friends where she is and wonder if she has family who also write to her. I wonder if she has good food to eat and if she gets three meals a day. AnC has a forum where angels share experiences about their mail calls from their deployed – first letters or emails, even special packages sent to them from a world away. After what is sometimes months of writing letters, their fears and concerns are squashed by these letters, and in reading their posts, so are mine. I never expected to hear from my soldier, but reading about those who have reminds me why I’m doing this. She’s not being inconsiderate when she doesn’t write back. She’s busy fighting for this country. I want to encourage people to join this campaign, but really look at themselves in considering if they can do this or not. Do you have the time to write a letter a week? Will you be committed enough to continue writing even if you don’t hear from your soldier? When I think about what my soldier is doing for me over there, the question is easy. Something else to consider is if you can afford to send care packages. While money is tight for me, as it seems to be for everyone, I have fun picking out items for her packages. I’ve sent silly things like squirt guns, Frisbees and Koosh balls; I’ve sent items such as soap, baby powder and blister relief pads. Last week I sent her a St. Christopher medal that said, “Protect Us.” You’re supposed to spoil your soldier or veteran, it’s fun, but again, really consider whether or not you can do this before joining AnC. I can’t stress it enough that you must be serious about this. Adopting a soldier and then going AWOL is worse than not adopting one at all. If you are interested in joining, visit www.angelsncamouflage.org for details. times even bringing along some of my dad’s boater friends. One trip, we left hastily, following one of our boater friends in an area semi-unfamiliar to my mom. We took two vehicles on this particular trip, so my dad was leading the pack. I couldn’t’ tell you which road we were on, or what town we were in, which will really start to make sense by the time you are finished reading this column, but I remember the taillights of my dad’s boat getting further and further away. At some point we went straight, when we should have turned and ended up traveling a road that was straight out of a murder movie. My mother was frantic. As our friend pulled off the road and approached the vehicle with a map, my mom and I looked at each other. As he pulled out the map and started pointing to various sections and roads my mom cut him off quickly stating, “you can show me anything on that map but I still wouldn’t be able to help us.” Thankfully, we made it out of the area easily, making it home only a few minutes after my dad. Recently I am the one who has found myself at the wheel of that eternal question – where are we? I couldn’t count the number of times I have called my boyfriend Brandon seeking directions. Although I know he can’t really help me, I am only going to get better if I just drive until I find a familiar place, but I think subconsciously I want to involve him in the daily driving escapades that encompass my life. During one adventure I drove what I call the coastal route. I drove endless miles around Old Orchard Beach in search for a road that even MapQuest couldn’t identify. I may not be able to read a map, but I can read words so, yes, MapQuest (See ST. MICHEL page 15) Treasure the memories of your home with a Pen & Ink drawing.

So well, the town “deciders” usurped Chief Bruni’s authority to grant permits and gave the authority to a more politicized board of selectmen. The board of selectmen can exempt weddings, funerals, family gatherings and have broad discretion to exempt any event they feel warrants exclusion. The selectmen are now requesting expensive surety bonds for events. The town has told the media that change was prompted by a traveling circus which visited Kennebunkport and was held on private property. However, this reasoning does not hold water as the performance company, Cirkus Smirkus, has a huge liability policy that would protect the town in the event of a claim. A conservative, daily Maine newspaper’s editorial board came out in support of my claim that the new ordinance seems to be directed at protesters. Their editorial said “Town officials say they don’t intend to limit political speech." If that is the case this should be easy to fix. A new ordinance should specifically say that all demonstrations are welcome. As well as create a hardship exemption for those who cannot afford the bond. That way, future officials will understand that this ordinance was not meant to stop people from exercising their most basic rights.” The Maine Civil Liberties Union and I let the town know that if this law was implemented we would sue. In less than 48 hours, before the ink was even dry on the new ordinance, it was tabled pending the legal outcome of a similar case in Augusta. That case won in the Maine Supreme Court and the First District Court in Boston and is being appealed. U.S. District Court Judge John Woodcock wrote in his 51 page opinion in the Augusta case “To march is to speak. A march can be a powerful and effective community expression of ethos: to celebrate our heroes – as on Veteran’s Day: to applaud or community-held values – as on July 4; or, consistent wit this Country’s longest-held traditions, to protest our policies and attempt to effect change-as in Selma or Washington,DC.” It turns out that the “deciders” failed to get the town’s attorney to review the new ordinance before it went on the ballot. Not surprisingly when the Town’s Attorney Amy Tchao did review the new legislation she said that if she had done a comprehensive review, she would have raised concerns about the board of selectmen’s broad ability to grant exemptions. I don’t think the intent was to open up what the board of selectmen, at their whim, could decide to exempt based on content of speech but that is what it did. The “deciders” are rightly embarrassed by their pathetic and thinly veiled attack on our freedom to assemble, which has been exposed for what it is and will now fail. We are facing an onslaught of these types of attacks all across America, which are eroding our civil rights. It is imperative that we have engaged citizenry, remaining vigilant to protect our right to dissent. Jamilla El-Shafei Kennebunk Was mass gathering ordinance understood? Providing the best value in Employee Benefits Editor: I don’t believe Kennebunkport voters fully understood Question 4 on the Nov. 6 election ballot. The town attorney may not have either. The town attorney said Question 4 - Amendment to the Special Events and Mass Gathering Ordinance “had not received a full legal review.” Maine Civil Liberties Union (MCLU) Executive Director, Shannon Bellows, said the Question 4 amendment change “violates our First Amendment right to freedom of assembly.” The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America (for those of you who haven’t got it on the tip of your tongue) reads- “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press, or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The town attorney stated in a recent newspaper article that there were enough issues of constitutional concern for the town to refrain from implementing the ordinance changes. I hope the Selectmen choose to not bring these changes back again for a vote. MCLU’s Shannon Bellows stated in a recent newspaper article that the ordinance changes should be dropped. This happened the same week the Flag Art exhibit at the Kennebunk FREE Library was also addressing constitutional issues. Interesting week in the Kennebunks for our First Amendment rights.

Our flag was honored by Francis Scott Key who was inspired by the flag still flying when he wrote the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. Our flag was raised in honor by Marines on Iwo Jima and became a symbol of hope and freedom then, which continues to this day. Our flag is honored in our historic Pledge of Allegiance. Our flag honors hundreds of thousands of veterans on cemeteries nationwide and around the world who gave their lives to defend it and our country. Our flag is given in honor and respect to survivors and children at funerals for service men and women. Our flag inspired millions of Americans who fought to end oppression of people in World War II, Korea and other conflicts. Our flag has been honored and saluted by Boy and Girl Scouts and Veterans organizations throughout generations. Our flag was honored this year in the Healing Fields Project in Portland and also was on display, 2,900 of them, honoring veterans on the Maine Turnpike, from Kittery to Augusta and other locations around Maine Our flag is placed on countless gravesites on Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July honoring those who gave their lives for America. Our flag has been honored for centuries all across America. But NOT by the Kennebunk Library Board of Trustees, it seems. Instead, during the week of Veterans Day, you and your Board of Trustees chose to slap veterans in the face by approving a display made of defaced, defiled, torn flags in a dishonorable display, calling this ‘art’. It is interesting to many veterans that the Library Board of Trustees defends this affront and desecration of our nation’s flag while many other towns around Maine and across our country celebrate our flag and honor it. Many of us now plan to meet periodically to discuss your actions and appropriate responses. I trust you will let the following Board members know of my displeasure at their dishonor of our flag and the veterans who defended it and our country. As a long time member of the Overseas Press Club, affiliated with the National Press Club and others, and a nationallysyndicated newspaper columnist for 25 plus years, I am fully in favor of freedom of speech and expression. Desecrating and dishonoring our nation’s flag to mock our country is another issue. You can be assured that I will share my thoughts with key national media friends. Allan A. Swenson Proudly an Ex-GI of the United States Army Global warming is here, people need to pay attention Editor: At one time, there was doubt and uncertainty about global warming. But times have changed, and even ExxonMobil’s Web site says it’s “prudent” to address the risks of climate change. However, judging from two recent letters in the Post, some fanatical deniers of global warming didn’t get the memo. The authors of these letters, Arthur Thoms and Ralph Shirak, claim that global warming is nothing more than media hype and scare tactics. They say T DOCTOR O SP Commercial/Residential teed Guaranction Satisfa Wool • Braided • Areas Deodorizing • Storage Fast turnaround time! FREE ESTIMATES Affordable LOCAL FREE PICK-UP & DELIVERY ! policymakers and journalists don’t pay enough attention to the many respected scientists who supposedly are expressing skepticism. Shirak claims that these same scientists are having their careers ruined because of their unpopular views. Thoms and Shirak see a conspiracy to push a Chicken Little story on the public. It’s important for readers to understand that these arguments are quaint relics of a debate that’s essen- tially over, and we need to think about the challenges ahead. Twenty or thirty years ago, there was legitimate skepticism about climate change. But the more scientists learn about our climate, the more certain they are that temperatures are rising and that humans are to blame.

By 2030, the ice might disappear in the summer, according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. If this happens, it will be the first time in over a million years that the Arctic Ocean has been free of ice. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes such former skeptics as ExxonMobil scientists and members of the Bush administration, reports periodically on the state of the science. In 2001, the IPCC said there was a 66% probability that humans are causing global warming. This year, they raised that number to 90%. For a long time, the popular press gave equal coverage to those scientists who were concerned about global warming and those who expressed skepticism. But as the scientific community reached a consensus, it became harder to find a skeptic who wasn’t employed by an oil company. There’s a big difference between skepticism and denial, and most of those who claim to be skeptics are really just lobbyists or conspiracy theorists. Among policymakers, I don’t think we need to worry Kennebunk Post about the “skeptics” not having their voices heard. They can always find members of Congress who want to burn more fossil fuels. If you think journalists are playing Chicken Little, then try comparing this issue to issues that really were overhyped. Two examples that come to mind are the Y2K bug and the run on flu vaccine that occurred during a normal flu season a few years ago. In both cases, the media and the public latched onto a few facts and blew them way out of proportion. Science had little to do with either one. In contrast, recognition of climate change developed gradually among scientists, like any solid scientific concept. Scientists reached a consensus long before the media or politicians caught on. There may be hype now, but the hype is overdue. When people say we shouldn’t worry about climate change, their arguments show the signs of classic denialism. Thoms claims to have piles of evidence, but he points to nothing more than old newspaper articles and bizarre logic. Using his method, you could prove that passenger pigeons have nothing to worry about. If you look for actual scientific evidence, at best you’ll find old claims that don’t account for recent data. Meanwhile, Thoms demands precise and infallible projections of future changes before doing anything to slow the warming trend. That’s like saying he won’t wear a seatbelt unless someone tells him what day he’ll have an accident. in Maine. “I have a team of 25 outstanding employees who understand the importance of good customer service and on-time delivery,” said Kennebunk Postmaster Gerry Alexandre. “Being recognized by your customers is a great honor,” Post Office Operations Manager Regina Bugbee said of the offices’ managers and staff recently in response to Gallup’s findings. “Providing them with excellent service is what our job is all about.” According to Gallup’s survey, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, Standish and Yarmouth clerks worked efficiently, valued customers’ time, held their waiting time in line to under five minutes, and provided all the information needed for customers to complete their tasks. Letter carriers delivered mail to the correct address at about the same time every day. The Postal Service will award all Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach, Standish and Yarmouth Post Office employees with service pins symbolizing their commitment to their customers.

When I search for victims, I just find vague claims about reduced funding. Denialists claim that the news media are biased against them, when in fact the media gave them far too much credit for far too long. They accuse people of using scare tactics, yet they can’t disprove the horror stories. The shrinking polar ice cap is scary, but it’s also a fact. If you ask the denialists what they think the climate is doing, they’ll give you wildly varying answers. Some say the climate is cooling, while others say it’s getting hotter but there’s nothing we can do about it. If you ask why anyone would want to push the story of global warming if it weren’t true, they’ll give you a variety of conflicting conspiracy theories about world government and grant funding. Don’t be distracted by the fanatics, because there’s important work to do. The warming trend and the link with human activities are well established, and now it’s time for everyone -- scientists, legislators, industry and the public -- to figure out what we’re going to do about it. Let’s stop inventing conspiracy theories and move on to more important things.

In addition to a formal school presentation, a presentation to her colleagues and parents and a presentation to the University of New England, Grumbling and the school are planning a Japanese Family Night for April 2008. While they aren’t sure on a date just yet, the staff at the school is certain every class will be giving a different presentation or workshop. Grumbling predicts they will offer traditional Japanese foods, wear traditional Japanese garb and have activities ranging from calligraphy to kite making and origami. “It will be a celebration of all we have learned, all I have seen, and all we have done throughout the year to bring the students closer to their global community,” Grumbling said. At the farewell ceremony, 240 students gathered and waved miniature Japanese flags, when Grumbling returned the flags they waved were American, to welcome her back home. “I brought back some Yen, they have a hole in them so the kids can make necklaces while learning a thing or two about money conversion,” Grumbling said. “We The area’s best selection of toys, treats, apparel and gifts to delight you and your scalawags OPEN UNTIL 10pm!

Nearly one third of all residential fires occur during the winter, according to the National Fire Protection Association, resulting in billions of dollars in property damage, as well as thousands of injuries and deaths. Fires can originate from many sources: too many holiday lights plugged into an outlet, portable heating devices, or roaring fireplaces. However, there are precautions that homeowners can ST. MICHEL (Continued from page 9) became my savior – unfortunately even that was short lived, cut off after the directions I printed told me to make a left turn, but didn’t include onto what road the turn should be made. At another time, I called Brandon frantic, because a meeting I had didn’t get over until it was dark out. As I raced to my car and turned on my lights, it started pouring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not afraid of water or rain and I have never experienced any melting but my vision is already bad at night. I drove in circles for more than 30 minutes, then take to keep the home fires burning safely. The use of alternative heating devices is a significant source of many winter fires. “Fire departments and organizations such as the American Red Cross are at their busiest during the winter,” said Mike Convery, vice president and chief claim officer for MetLife Auto & Home. “Alternative heating devices, such as a space heater or wood stove, can be attractive cost-saving alternatives, but they increase the likelihood of a home fire occurring, if used improperly.” Holiday candles are also one of the leading finally gave in and made the call. “You have to stop calling me about these things,” Brandon said. “You need to print directions to get back.” Although I knew he was right, I was frustrated and I was driving on narrow, curving roads – fearing I was on the brink of hitting a pedestrian or a moose. When I was a sophomore in college I drove home one weekend to see my parents. When I was driving back down to school, at USM, I took the wrong exit and am 99 percent positive I was driving in the Bronx. Once again, I couldn’t tell you where I was, but I know it was a section of Portland I wouldn’t want to visit again. Some weekends, my mom comes to visit me in Portland and we joke frequently about her lack of ability to find her way causes of fires. In fact, the greatest number of home candle fires happen during celebrations such as Christmas Day, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Many fires occur when holiday decorations, such as centerpieces, come into contact with a lit candle, which is why it’s important to consider fire safety when using candles as part of holiday decorating. “The fact is, many fires are preventable, if the proper precautions are taken,” said Convery. “To help avoid a tragedy, it’s important to review the basics of fire safety. It only takes a few minutes and it could save a life.” through Portland. She can’t help it, she doesn’t live down here. We have shared many laughs surrounding the number of times she’s been lost in Portland. My brother is known to be a caller as well. Last year, I received a few calls from him, asking me how to get back to the interstate from his location. The first thought in my head was, why would he call me, when we both know I couldn’t find my way around he block. Maybe he really thought I knew the area. Maybe I am being too hard on myself. I don’t want a navigation system that talks to me. Believe me I really don’t need any more distractions, but I need one that is clear, simple and full of geographical knowledge. Let’s face it, the thing really needs to have the knowledge of two people, since I have none. Happy Holidays Start at the Farm!

Floral Services for Weddings Available Page 16 Kennebunk Post November 23, 2007 Your guide to having a 'green' holiday this year The holidays are a time for giving. Everyone should add the earth to their holiday gift lists. Holiday time can be a season of joy, but also a season of excess. This makes it all the more important for the public to make conservation efforts whenever it is possible. Having a happy holiday can also mean having a green holiday. Here are some ideas for furthering green efforts. Trimming green: Christmas trees and wreaths are a big part of holiday decor. Depending upon whether a person chooses an artificial variety or a real one, smart usage and disposal are key. On the surface it would seem real trees are more environmentally friendly. But once the season is over, discarded trees become a large part of landfill material. Also, some people fail to remove all of the plastic ornaments or lights from trees, and this can be an environmental hazard. Live trees can be beneficial if they are composted after the season and used for landscaping purposes. Artificial trees are made from plastic, which is a product of oil. Making these trees and other plastic products will produce carbon emissions and other environmental contaminants. However, artificial decor can be reused every year. When lighting up the home, be conscious of energy usage. Less could be more in these situations, especially if it helps the environment. Wrapping green: Wrapping paper, ribbon, cards and bows are beautiful to look at. But they accumulate to tons of waste. According to Green Star, if every family reused just two feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet. And approximately 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold each year in the U.S. These cards could fill a football field 10 stories high. Reusing wrapping paper, ribbons and bows is a good way to reduce waste. Save holiday cards from last year and use the decorative front of the card as a label for this year’s gifts. Also, think about skipping wrapping paper for reusable items such as stockings, gift bags, fabric and any other materials from around the house. Entertaining green: What would the holidays be without parties, dinners and company? Avoiding excess waste at these functions can make them more environmentally friendly. Work with vendors and sites that use linens and china to avoid disposable serviceware waste. Plan food and beverages wisely so that there isn’t much left over. Reports indicate that more than 100 pounds of extra food per person is disposed of each year. Encourage people to take home leftovers if there are any, or donate it to places that feed the needy. Ask people to carpool to events to save on fuel and car emissions. Plus, recycle whenever possible to reduce excess trash. Giving green: People can give gifts that encourage others to conserve resources and think about waste prevention. Gifts to the movies, shows, spas, or vacations will be put to good use and may not end up as trinkets cluttering up someone’s house or put out with the trash. Think about donating to a charity or another cause in the person’s honor. However, don’t follow in the footsteps of Seinfeld’s George Costanza and pretend to donate to a fictitious charity just to save a few bucks. There are many ways to think green around the holidays and all year round.

The college has put a school of unique, artist-designed wooden fish up for bid on the cMarket auction Web site to raise funds for Heartwood programs. Artists throughout the state and beyond have designed and created fish in the following categories: Fanciful Fish, Flowery Fish, Factual Fish, Food Fish, Functional Fish, Funny Fish, and Feng Shui Fish. The fish – which include “shiners,” trout, salmon and bass – will be auctioned online by cMarket, Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., organization focused on supporting non-profit organizations. A portion of the proceeds returns to the artists, and the balance goes to support Heartwood College of Art – the undergraduate art program, “Boomer U,” community workshops and camps, and the Heartwood Gallery. The online auction runs until Dec. 31. Heartwood President Berri Kramer is thrilled with the “catch” so far. “Every fish has its own personality, and many of the artists chose not to make the fish look like fish at all. We have landscape fish. We have food fish – fish that are painted to look like an entrée. We have abstract fish and flowered fish. We even have fish disguised as crustaceans! The artists were very creative in their interpretation of the assignment and as a result, there’s a fish that will appeal to just about everyone,” Kramer said. The first school of fish to be auctioned includes work by some of the following: Lynne Carr, Al Pelletier, Ellen Pelletier, Marcia R. Hamlyn, Stuart Nudelman, Eva Gades, Robin Hoyt, Gwen Wagor, Derryll Brudzinski, Kelly Jo Shows, Susan Wilder, Berri Kramer, Hilary Zayed, Margaret Cummings, Susan Sheftel, James Dochtermann, Carolyn McAdams, Jenne James, Caren-Marie Michel, Rosalind Fedeli, Brandy Cressey, Suzanne Payne, Scott Sawyer, Pam Ed- the Heartwood Fish Art Auction at www.heartwo odcollege.emarket.com or go to Heartwood’s Web site at www.heartwoodcollegeofart.org and hit the “Fish Art Auction” button.

Lighting the Way to pass through Kennebunk Beacon Hospice Inc. is raising money for The Lighthouse Hospice Foundation by hosting a threeweek, 420-mile relay walk, called Lighting the Way. Lighting the Way begins during National Hospice Month in Mystic, Conn., on Nov. 16 and will end in Bangor on Dec. 7. On Friday, Nov. 30, participants are scheduled to walk through Kennebunk and Biddeford. The walking route is inspired by Beacon Hospice’s office locations and will pass by or near each of the company’s 20 offices in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Each Beacon Hospice office is providing a team of walkers. Relay walkers will carry a lantern to “light the way” and will pass it along to the next walking group at each relay transfer point. The money raised from Lighting the Way will benefit The Lighthouse Hospice Foundation, an autonomous, nonprofit corporation committed to supporting terminally ill patients and their families in New England, by providing funding for items not covered by Medicare. Beacon Hospice hopes to raise $20,000 for The Lighthouse Hospice Foundation in honor of Beacon Hospice CEO Betty Brennan who turns 60 this year. Also for her birthday, she will walk the last 60 miles of the walk to her “This walk will significantly help the foundation provide necessities for hospice patients and their families and promote increased access to hospice care.” native Bangor. “I am thrilled Beacon Hospice is supporting this ambitious fundraiser.

The exhibition, which runs Nov. 14 to Nov. 28 in the Heartwood College Gallery will present artwork by each student in the class, and a variety of mediums will be displayed. Students chose artwork that deals with the theme of “Falling into, coming out of, seeing through “The Whole Experience.” The students chose the theme “Holes” because it is a universal element and can be represented in any medium. Putting on the show is a valuable learning experience for the students, as they experience the behind-the-scenes workings of an art gallery. The class collaborated to come up with a theme, created postcards and posters for advertising, and selected pieces to be displayed in the show. They will also set-up and open the exhibit.

The board voted Nov. 8 to keep the exhibit in the Hank Room at the library. The forum was only an opportunity for those who had questions about why the exhibit would stand, it was not an effort to stop it. Kenneth Kinglsey, a Vietnam veteran who served from Oct. 1967 to 1968, headed the panelists opening statements at the forum. Kingsley cited the proper ways to discard a flag. “What I ask is, was it put here as an art display or as a protest?” Kinglsey said adding he was very angry the exhibit went up so soon after Veteran’s Day. “What do we have in our library?” Kingsley asked. “Cut up pieces of American Flag. What respect are we showing for our veterans?” But Kingsley was met with some opposition. Ronald W. Schneider, a lawyer with Berstein Shur in Portland, joined the panel to provide his knowledge of law and flag code. The big Kennebunk Post question, Schneider said, is the difference between what is appropriate and what is legal. He said disobeying the flag code, which states that discarded flags or severely torn flags must be respectfully burned in a ceremony and may not be used in any other instance, is a Class E Misdemeanor crime in Maine. But Schneider said this case has more to do with personal issues than it does with flag codes. “The real issue here is the distinction between what people have a problem with and what people don’t have a problem with,” he said, adding, “The government may not prohibit an exhibit because people find it offensive." Schneider pointed to the window which faced the front lawn and a high flying American flag. According to those same flag codes, a flag must be taken down at sundown or be shown in spotlight. The flag flew without a hint of light, waving in the darkness. He cited flag shirts and flagpainted vehicles, all of which he said, according to the flag code, are offensive and strictly prohibited. He said anything that depicts the flag in any other way than in its original form is disrespectful. Nelson Eubanks, member of the Intellectual Freedom Committee for the Maine Library Association, was the third member of the panel and agreed the exhibit shouldn’t be taken down simply because people don’t agree with it. After opening comments, the three panelists answered questions the public wrote down before the forum began. The forum ended with public comments, a time when citizens could voice their opinions and comments about the exhibit, the library or Swenson. Jim Simons, a veteran from Kennebunk, said he didn’t think it was an issue of right or wrong. “It’s wrong for the library to show these pictures,” Simons said. “To show a picture of an American flag cut up, well the library should just say no.” John Flagler, a Vietnam veteran serving from 1969 to 1970 and an Alfred resident, said the flag is an important symbol. “I am more offended seeing the flag flown to sell used cars when I drive down the road,” he said. “I raised my hand and made an oath to the United States on that flag.” Flagler voiced his support for Swenson, stating the exhibit is a highly respectable form of art that represents what veterans have fought for. John Costin, a Kennebunk resident, said he felt the overuse of the flag in commercials and on television has shaved away at its symbolic meaning. He said when people discourage others from using these symbols to express themselves, they are only taking away someone’s personal identification with the flag. Schneider also cited the First Amendment as a primary reason why the exhibit should stay on display. “The constitution is the supreme law of the land,” he said. “The First Amendment protects citizens against the government. The fact that it’s an American flag is what I think has sparked interests.” Sam Swenson, Bud Swenson’s son also attended the event, citing the library as the perfect place for an exhibit like his father’s. “I haven’t always agreed with him, and I found the exhibit somewhat offensive myself at first, but if this isn’t the perfect place for this type of art, where is?” Sam asked. Schneider agreed with Sam’s statement, saying the public should embrace the exhibit and continue to find ways similar to the forum to discuss and comment the pieces. The library has started an open book style forum, where people can view the exhibit and write down how it made them feel and comment about it in the book.

The exhibit will be on display at the library until Nov. 30. Kingsley ended his opening comments with a direct plea to Swenson to remove his exhibit. “I’ll ask him like a gentleman, please take down your exhibit after this forum tonight,” he said. Swenson didn’t respond to Kinglsey, but said he had received some inquiries from people interested in purchasing his work. He said he doesn’t plan to sell any pieces of the exhibit in the near future and hopes to continue showing his work at schools around the state. “I think the forum went great,” Swenson said. “I have a great respect for veterans and what they have done for our country and I am humbled by any veteran who stands behind me.” Ask the Banker Marc Lamontagne AVP, Loan Officer ARE YOU SHY? Q: What is an adjustable rate mortgage? If you are shy, you are certainly not alone. Shyness may affect up to four people in ten. In some cases, genetics may play a role. About 15 percent of babies are born with an “inhibited temperament,” which means they react stressfully to new situations. For instance, they may cringe at the sound of a bursting balloon. However, even those predisposed to shyness can overcome it. If you find it difficult to warm up to people in social situations due to self-consciousness, you might seek out the help of a therapist with the goal of expanding your comfort zone. Therapy helps shy individuals overcome their shyness one step at a time until they learn to overcome their inhibitions. A: An adjustable rate mortgage (or “ARM”) is a loan with an interest rate that changes periodically. Many times you will see ARMs described as “3-1” or “5-1” – this indicates how long the interest rate stays fixed and how often the rate will adjust. One of the purposes of therapy is to help you overcome personality traits or reactions that you feel are preventing you from experiencing satisfaction in your life. If your shyness, anxiety, stress, depression, or anger are getting in the way of your happiness contact our caring staff during our business hours of Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm. We are dedicated to helping people live happy and fulfilling lives. We offer therapy for all types of depression, anxiety and relationship issues, and welcome both teens and adults. We can also provide psychiatric services at our multi-disciplinary practice Rising rates may be subject to a “cap.” A cap refers to a maximum amount by which your interest rate or your payment may increase. Caps may be enforced anytime your loan adjusts or over the lifetime of the loan. P.S. It is important for shy people to keep in mind that it is no fault of their own that others do not always respond to their inviting gestures. Jody Jansen, LCSW at Broadleaf Behavioral Health has earned a graduated degree from Syracuse University and holds a license in Clinical Jody Jansen Social Work in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She has over 25 years experience in the field of mental health. For example, with a “3-1” ARM, the rate will stay fixed for three years, after which it will adjust every year. The rate is determined by an economic index and may fluctuate up or down. Many buyers choose an adjustable rate mortgage if they do not plan to own the property for a long period of time, or if they expect an increase in income from the time of purchase to the time their loan will adjust.

For the initiative, launched in October, the Foundation has designated a total of $25,000 in grants to local non-profits that are chosen by the communitywide vote, with the three top vote-getters receiving $5,000 grants and 10 additional organizations receiving $1,000 grants. T h e F o u n d a t i o n a nnounced that the Biddeford Free Clinic, Community Bicycle Center and Southern Maine Agency on Aging were the top three vote getters in the process. The Community Bicycle Center was a “write-in” candidate, while the other two $5,000 winners were among ten nonprofits listed on the original ballot distributed by the Foundation. Upon learning that the Community Bicycle Center was the top write-in and a $5,000 grant recipient, Aaron Lawton, an Americorps VISTA volunteer with CBC, said that the process of getting out the vote brought his organization together with the community. “We had a multi-faceted effort to get the vote out that gave us an opportunity to educate people about what we do. We felt that we had good community support, but this experience has given us a real measurable indicator of how widespread that support is.” Lawton said that the organization is excited about the opportunity to expand its program and help more kids. Bangor Savings Bank Senior Vice President Yellow Light Breen indicated that the Community Bicycle Center is the first write-in candidate in Community Matters More to get enough votes to receive a $5,000 grant, from among a total of 470 organizations that have received public support as “write-ins” in all three regional Community Matters More programs conducted this year. Breen said “The amaz- ing community support for the three top organizations and the other 104 organizations across York County-including 97 worthy causes submitted as write-ins by local residents--shows the critical importance and high public regard for so many worthy community groups that contribute to the fabric of our communities and touch the lives of so many people in southern Maine.” Informed that the Southern Maine Agency on Aging was a top vote getter, Executive Director Larry Gross said, “Thank you for the opportunity to be recognized by our neighbors. It is a good feeling to know that our contribution to the lives of older residents is acknowledged. The $5,000 gift from Community Matters More will help support Meals on Wheels for the residents of York County.” Also a top vote-getter and $5,000 recipient is the Biddeford Free Clinic, a volunteer effort by community healthcare professionals that works to provide accessible and free medical care to people who can not afford it. Executive Director Joan Gordon said, “This is such a surprising Thanksgiving present for the Biddeford Free Clinic. It is wonderful that Bangor Savings Bank, having moved to the area so recently, was able to recognize and support the important work being done by all of the nonprofits in our area. We are so pleased to receive this in the name of the patients who will benefit and we want to thank everyone who voted for us. We are very grateful.” In addition to the three $5,000 grant recipients, the Foundation also will award $1,000 to each of ten additional organizations. The $1,000 winners are: Biddeford City Theater, Caring Unlimited, Community Partners, Day One , Dyer Library and Saco Museum , Museums of Old York, Northern York County Family YMCA (write-in winner), Saco Bay Trails, Sacopee Valley Health Center, The New School (write-in winner). This year, the Foundation has conducted three regional Community Matters More efforts in Greater planning board and selectmen agreed the ordinance should be reevaluated. “Because they weren’t allowed anywhere in the town we had to look at whether or not they should be permitted and where that area would be,” Shields said, adding development of resorts in the area aren’t planned for the immediate future. “The big thing is the planning board and myself took a lot of time trying to figure out where other areas in the state have gone right and where they have gone wrong,” he said. “We did a lot of research of what was good for the town and what wouldn’t be good.” Stantec engineer Rick Licht said the company, which is a nationwide company providing professional design and consulting services to busineses, is working with R.E.M. Development to help design and develop the area for seasonal cottages and resorts. R.E.M. is Vermont’s largest developer of commercial real estate. Licht said he was enthusiastic about the passing of the ordinance and said the next step for Stantec and the town of Arundel would be to start moving forward with the redesigning of the properties, after which development could begin. The specific site and use performance standards outline how the units would be used, including the requirement of being located on more than 10 acres of land and the resorts must be open from May 1 to Oct. 31 every year. “It was a win, win for Arundel,” Shields said. “Over the next couple years we are going to see these amendments provide future development and ease taxes.” MEETING (Continued from page 5) resorts, but after a Stantec asked about the land the MANAGING OSTEOARTHRITIS There are several different kinds of arthritis, and osteoarthritis is the most common. It occurs because, as people age, the cartilage that cushions the ends of their bones gets worn down. This causes pain and stiffness. Regular exercise helps manage osteoarthritis, but the type of exercise to be done should be discussed with the doctor. Swimming and other kinds of water exercise class will not put any pressure on joints, nor will riding a stationary bicycle. Keep weight under control, as extra weight stresses joints. Applying heat to the affected areas may help relieve the pain, although cold is better during the rst couple of days of an osteoarthritis are-up. Of course, taking medications as directed should continue. Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause problems ranging from discomfort to serious disability. But osteoarthritis doesn’t have to keep you from living your life. Many things can be done to relieve your pain and help you move more freely. Your treatment can be tailored to your needs and your lifestyle. For more information, please call KENNEBUNK MEDICAL CENTER at 207-985-3726. We are located at 24 Portland Road, Kennebunk. We’re here when you need us...just walk in...you don’t need an appointment! P.S. Using large muscles instead will help keep the strain off some joints.

You needed a desk that would house your monitor, hard drive, and keyboard. Today’s laptop computers make that need a thing of the past. Most new laptops have the power of desktops to do anything, even heavy video editing. With the ease of wireless Internet, which is like a cordless phone in that you have a “base” that allows you to hook up to the Internet anywhere in your house, a laptop is more convenient than a desktop. Instead of being tethered to a desk, your workspace can be anywhere in your house. Shop carefully, however, as not all laptops are equipped to replace your desktop. As time goes by laptops become more powerful and less expensive. The power of a desktop, and the portability and function of a portable computer really makes a laptop a viable option for your next computer. At PC SOLUTIONS INC., we can help you nd the perfect laptops, whether you need one or twenty. We also have the expertise to set up a wireless network to use them with.

Overall, the public has cast more than 50,000 votes for 527 different community organizations, including 470 write-in organizations. Ultimately, the Foundation expects to conduct the program in each region of the state served by Bangor Savings Bank. “The public involvement in Community Matters More is critical in guiding us to support the causes that matter most to Maine people,” Breen said. “The folks in York County have put an exclamation point on an extraordinary year of community involvement in our grantmaking. The level of public participation in Community Matters More this year has been phenomenal, and both the number of votes cast and the number of non-profit organizations receiving support throughout Maine has far exceeded what we thought was possible. Maine people’s spirit of giving helps support the many small nonprofits that are critical to the quality of life in our communities.” Earlier this Fall, 10nonprofits that serve York County were selected based on recommendations by Bangor Savings Bank customers and employees for inclusion on the Community Matters More ballot. The ballot was distributed through the non-profits, at Bangor Savings branches, at several local Dunkin’ Donuts stores, and via the Internet. Individuals selected up to three favorite non-profits – including a space for write-ins – and returned the ballots to bank branches. Each nominated nonprofit was assured of receiving at least a $1,000 grant, with funding allocated for three top write-in candidates as well. Bangor Savings Bank significantly expanded its presence in York County last summer through the acquisition of Pepperell Bank & Trust and its five York County branches, complementing the Bank’s presence in Cornish and recent major expansion in the greater Portland area.
