A NEW SPIN — A 33 foot Skystream 3.7 wind turbine faces the Atlantic winds during a blustery November sunset. 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

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

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

‘declaring their

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!

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

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,

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

“Woodsum is going to put

three local artists they are
also going to be offering real

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

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.”

Arundel Town Meeting brings change to comp plan, land use
By Ashley St. Michel
Staff Writer
Arundel held a special Town Meeting last
Tuesday, Nov. 13 at the
Arundel Fire Station,
which centered largely on
amendments to both the
Comprehensive Plan and
the Land Use Ordinance
the town has been adjusting during the past year.
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

ence, especially when they
are seniors. 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

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

“Massachusetts and New
Hampshire schools have expressed interest in joining
the project,” she said. “But
right now we just want to
focus on Maine.”
Gup-Matthews said she is
excited about the continuation of the project.
“I think it’s a fabulous
project that gives teens a
voice through talent,” she
said. “It also helps Heartwood get out there. 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.

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.

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. For more

Weekly Interview
Audrey Grumbling
This Arundel teacher takes in

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.

LETTERS to the EDITOR
Citizens: fight back
against mass
gathering ordinance
Editor:
Last week voters approved a new mass gathering ordinance which would make obtaining a permit for protests
more difficult, more costly and according to the Maine
Civil Liberties Union, an unconstitutional infringement
of civil liberties.
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

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

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-

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

LETTER
(Continued from page 9)
need to change it, except that it worked too well! 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

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 rights seemed to have
prevailed...for now!

Letters to the Editor
An open letter to K'bunk Free Library trustees
Editor:
As a veteran, I’ve always tried to honor our nation’s flag.
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.

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

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.
This year, Arctic sea ice shrank drastically, opening

the Northwest Passage for the first time. 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

Shirak claims that many scientists are getting fired
for not going along with the hype, but I can’t find any
examples. 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

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.

Tips on how to stay safe this holiday season
There are many causes
for celebration during the
winter holiday months,
but it’s also the time of
the year when the threat
of home fires increases
dramatically. 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

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

“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

and it could save a life.”

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.

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. For gift ideas, visit

K'bunk's Heartwood College of Art “Goes Fishing”
Heartwood College of Art
in Kennebunk invites you to
turn on your computer and
go fishing. 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-

Host a Fresh Air child during summer 2008
This November, many families in the southern Maine
area are thankful for something special: the gift of friendship with a New York City child. Through the Fresh Air
Fund’s Friendly Town program, local families open their
hearts and homes to inner city children as volunteer hosts
for two weeks during the summer.
By volunteering as a host family in the summer of 2008,
the spirit of Thanksgiving can continue throughout the year.
Once child recounts the activities he participated in during
his 2007 visit.
“We went hiking, swimming and rode horses,” he said. “I
wish I could spend the whole summer (in Maine) because
I never get bored.”
Since 1877 the Fresh Air Fund has provided a free
summer vacation to more than 1.7 million New York City
school children from low-income communities. For more
information about hosting a child next summer contact
Dawn Hansen at 324-2151 or visit www.freshair.org.
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. I
could not have asked for a
better birthday present,”
said Brennan.

Heartwood Gallery hosts
student exhibition
Heartwood College of Art
presents “Holes: The Whole
Experience” – a multi-media art show created and
organized by students in
the college’s business and
promotion class.
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 business and promotion class is required of all

K’bunk resident Christmas Prelude open house at
will perform in Santora Fine Art
The Nutcracker
Santora Fine Art is holding its annual Christmas
Prelude open house, Dec.
1, from noon to 4 p.m.
Santora Fine Art, located at 23 Fletcher St.,
Kennebunk, displays the
work of internationallyrecognized, award-winning artist Carol Santora.
Santora’s body of work
includes land and seascapes, but she is best
known for her expressionistic and soulful animal and wildlife paintings
and portraits of cherished
family pets.
From colorful, yet
intimate close-ups of
wolves and grizzlies to
whimsical groupings of
Holsteins and Belted
Galloway cows, Santora
captures the essence and
personalities of the animals. Refreshments will
be served.
Santora (BFA, Framingham State College) loves
animals of all kinds and
that passion is colorfully
expressed in her work. At
home with several media,
her favorite is pastel because of the clean, intense
color.
Each painting begins
with a foundation of
thorough research that
includes site visits to
wildlife parks, farms,
zoos and rescues all over
the United States.

EXHIBIT
(Continued from page 1)
Cheney with what Swenson
described as a never-ending
smile, didn’t meet “normative community standards.”
After Cate contacted Swenson
about her decision, Swenson
went to the board and asked
for the pieces to be reinstated
in the library. 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 book is located to the right of the en-

people are expected to sign in

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.”

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.

from Syracuse University and holds a

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.

Bank awards funds to York County non-profits
The Bangor Savings Bank
Foundation reported today
that York County residents
cast nearly 7,800 votes for
107 different nonprofit organizations in its unique
Community Matters More
program of charitable giving. 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.”

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. For example,
push a door open with your
hip instead of your hand.
IS IT TIME TO DITCH
YOUR DESKTOP?
Once upon a time, people
designed entire home ofces
around their desktop computer. 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

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

Troubl
by
Portland, Eastern Maine,
and York County, and
has made grants totaling
$129,000 to 69 nonprofits.
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.
