More than 60 people have been assisted from the water by Old Orchard Beach lifeguards since July 9, a number lifeguards say is higher than in past years. Lifeguard Capt. Keith Willett said rip currents that pull swimmers quickly out to sea have increased and have kept 20 lifeguards busy at 12 posts along four miles of beach. Friday morning, lifeguards helped three children and two adults from the water after they were caught in a rip current near Temple Avenue in Ocean Park. Swinburne, who stood in front of her lifeguard stand near the pier Friday afternoon watching boogie boarders bob in the water, said rip currents are “popping up everywhere,” pulling adults and children alike into deeper water. “People aren’t expecting it,” she said. “They don’t quite know the power of the ocean.” Willett said quite a few rip currents developed over the winter, when storms carried away sand and re-formed the beach. Saco Parks and Recreation Director Joe Hirsch said more rip currents have been reported this year in the Bay View and Kinney Shores areas, where beach sand was washed away in winter storms. Usually sand re-forms the beach in the spring, but that did not happen this year, he said. Charles Tilburg, a physical oceanographer and assistant professor at the University of New England, describes rip currents as very strong currents that pull away from the shore in areas where the beach changes. “It’s more likely to happen in a place where there’s an indentation in the bottom,” he said. Tilburg said currents are formed when waves stack up along the beach and rush back out at average speeds of 1 or 2 feet per second. Rip currents can move up to 8 feet per second and generally dissipate a quarter- to half-mile from shore, he said. Old Orchard Beach lifeguard Morgan Swinburne says she has seen an increase in the number of swimmers who need help getting out of rip currents. Beach erosion caused by winter storms has led to more rip currents along Old Orchard Beach and in neighboring communities. (Gillian Graham photo) “They don’t stay strong for that long,” Tilburg said. Tilburg said rip currents can be “extremely dangerous” because of their strength. Swimmers caught in a rip current quickly become exhausted and go under the water. He said most fatalities related to rip currents happen when swimmers panic. “The first thing is don’t panic. As soon as you panic, you have a tendency to take in water or not think about what you’re doing,” Willett said. Swimmers who are caught in a rip current should not fight the current, but swim parallel to the shore. Tilburg said rip currents are relatively narrow and the easiest way to break free is to swim out of it. Willett said swimmers also can let the current take and release them before swimming back to shore. Tilburg said he did not follow that advice as a teenager when he was caught in a rip See BEACHES, page 10 Back on track INSIDE She’s bound for a marathon after years crippled with Lyme disease By Gillian Graham Staff Writer Angela Coulombe’s life changed forever after crossing the finish line of the 2007 Beach to Beacon 10K road race in Cape Elizabeth. “Right as I crossed the finish line, my right knee was bothering me,” said the 45-yearold Saco resident. She first thought she had aggravated an old injury and headed to physical therapy. As weeks passed she began to ache all over and her joints “felt a bit funky.” The aches led to intense pain that prevented her from getting out of bed led to a bull’seye on her arm and a diagnosis of Lyme disease. Three years later, after struggling to get out of bed and regaining her strength, Coulombe is training to run the New York City Marathon in November, documenting her journey as the “Lyme Runner” on her blog, www.lymerunner.com. Coulombe, who has always been active, said she decided to run the marathon to raise awareness about chronic Lyme disease, raise money for research and “to give people hope they can get well, too.” Training for the race also allows her to see how far she’s come since the days when her See RUNNER, page 11 THE AUDIE AGENCY INSURANCE www.audieagency.com Business Briefs .......7 Classifieds..............20 Community News ..9 In the News .............3 Letters ......................5 Library Links .........6 Obituaries..............12 People .......................8 Angela Coulombe says her entire family has been supportive of her goal to run the New York Marathon three years after being diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The turbine, which sits atop York Hill outside the train station, has been still for three months because of a loose part that could fall. The city council Monday night discussed options for the wind turbine, including replacing the blades or selling the entire structure back to the man who sold it to the city. Supporters of the turbine say it provides power to the train station and has become an icon for the city, which was named the greenest city in Maine in 2008 by Going Green Magazine. Opponents say the wind turbine has fallen short in projected energy savings and could pose a safety risk to pedestrians. The wind turbine was put online in February 2008 for $207,000. The cost included the turbine, monopole, control package and fixes to substandard soil conditions. The package was paid off when installation was completed. Deputy Public Works Director Howard Carter said the contract with Entegrity Wind Systems guaranteed the unit would produce 90,000 kilowatt hours per year, or $12,600 per year in electrical savings. The contract also stipulated the company was responsibly for maintenance. To date the unit has measured a kilowatt output of 27,545 hours. This translates to $3,856 of revenue or saved electrical costs. A Canadian court in 2009 declared Entegrity Wind Systems bankrupt, leaving Saco without a valid contract or performance and maintenance agreements. In May, the city paid $2,125 to have the turbine inspected and serviced. “They were supposed to be doing periodic maintenance and when they went into default the maintenance fell behind,” Carter said. Carter said the unit is mechanically and structurally fine, but there is a problem with the shroud or faring that sits at the top of the 100-foot monopole and just below the turbine. There are loose brackets and bolts around the shroud, which Carter said looks like an airplane wing and is not needed for the unit to operate properly. Councilors said they want to talk to James Heath, former chief executive officer of Entegrity Wind Systems, before they decide what to do with the turbine. Carter said Heath offered to buy back the turbine for $130,000 in August or September. Heath also said he is developing a new type of blade that would increase the production of the unit and Saco councilors say they need more information about their options before deciding whether to sell the city’s wind turbine. (Gillian Graham photo) also make it quieter. The new blades would be available in late 2011. In the meantime, Heath would remove the shroud so the turbine can be turned back on, Carter said. “My primary concern with the wind turbine in that location is the public safety aspect,” aid Councilor Marston Lovell. Lovell said he is concerned a piece of the turbine could See TURBINE, page 12 COLLEGE READINESS CERTIFICATE PROGRAM FREE INFORMATION SESSION August 26th, 2010 10 AM-12 PM or 4-6 PM Saco Learning Center, 80 Common St • FREE GED O RIENTATIONS • SUBSTITUTE TEACHER TR AINING • PERSONAL SUPPORT SPECIALIST FREE I NFO SESSION 8/30 • M EDICAL TR ANSCRIPTION FREE I NFO SESSIONS 8/23 CALL (207) 934-7922 WWW.OOBSACO.MAINEADULTED.ORG Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult & Community Education 40 E.

Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier July 22, 2010 Page 3 In the News PeoplesChoice robbed Tuesday morning Biddeford police are investigating a robbery at PeoplesChoice Credit Union Tuesday. Deputy Police Chief JoAnne Fisk said a white man walked into the Bradbury Street credit union at 9:30 a.m. and handed the teller a note requesting money. The man fled on foot and was not armed, she said. Fisk described the man as in his mid-20s, 175 pounds and 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 11 inches tall. He was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and had a scarf over his face. No other information was available before the Courier’s press deadline. Biddeford, OOB below graduation average The Maine Department of Education on Monday released 2008-2009 graduation rates for high schools across the state. This is the first year of graduation data compiled using a newly required federal method for calculating graduation rates. The method allows comparison among states and schools, according to a press release from department spokesman David Connerty-Marin. The new method, known as Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate, calculates the graduation rate for a single “cohort” of students, or all students who entered ninth grade at the same time and who graduated within four years. Connerty-Marin said rates for 20082009 cannot be compared to the previous school year because they were calculated differently. Graduation rates appeared to drop because of the new formula, he said. The 2008-2009 graduation rate for Biddeford High School was 76.25 percent. Old Orchard Beach High School graduated 70.31 percent of students, while Thornton Academy in Saco had a graduation rate of 86.83 percent. The statewide graduation rate was 80.4 percent. Saco backs Camp Ellis project partnership The Saco City Council Monday night unanimously endorsed a project partnership agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address erosion issues in Camp Ellis. Coastal storms have caused erosion and the loss of more than 30 houses along Camp Ellis. The New England District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted studies to remedy ongoing erosion and developed a plan consisting of a 750-foot spur jetty and periodic beach fill. The design and construction of the project exceeds the $5 million statutory cap allowed under Section 111 of the River and Harbor Act of 1976, though Congress in 2007 gave authority to exceed the limit in the Water Resources Development Act. The Secretary of the Army is authorized to spent up to $26.9 million for the design and construction of the project as an aid to navigation while simultaneously mitigating shoreline damage and erosion. Such an undertaking is dependent on the city acting as a partner following construction, according to information prepared for the council by City Administrator Rick Michaud. “The city of Saco…desires to foster a partnering strategy and a working relationship with the ACOE and the city of Saco through a mutually developed formal strategy of commitment and communication, which creates an environment where trust and teamwork prevents disputes, fosters a cooperative bond between the ACOE and the city of Saco, and facilitates the successful implementation of the project,” Michaud wrote. The agreement also will clarify the role and responsibility of each party from design through construction and for 50 years following the completion of the project. Mayor Ron Michaud said the plan will be given to Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe and U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree to submit to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Page 4 Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier July 22, 2010 Residents want a better Biddeford people seem to perceive Biddeford as unsafe when there is little violent crime. “I’ve been working downtown for 30 years and it’s always had a reputation for being unsafe,” Buczacz said. “I’ve never seen evidence of it being unsafe.” DiMatteo and Brian Schrader said they are concerned about pedestrian safety downtown. She lives about a mile from her office, but does not ride her bike to work because of those concerns. Brian Schrader, who doesn’t drive, said it is not uncommon to wait for long periods before cars stop to let him cross the street. The group said promoting downtown businesses is Top ideas at forum include fostering business, making downtown more attractive By Gillian Graham Staff Writer Fostering a vibrant business community is key to revitalization of downtown Biddeford, according to community members who gathered in a historic mill building last week to discuss the “heart and soul” of the city. More than 120 people gathered at North Dam Mill July 15 for a community forum to share ideas and concerns about the future of downtown Biddeford. The event included a barbecue in a brick courtyard behind the mill, musical performances and displays of historic photographs. The forum, hosted by the Heart of Biddeford, was part of the Heartworks Project funded by a grant from the Orton Family Foundation. The Heart and Soul Community Planning Initiative is focused on creating a downtown master plan for revitalization. The plan will cover a wide range of topics, including streetscape design, landscape architecture, types of businesses and organizations to attract newcomers and locals and guidelines for growth. During a nearly three-hour forum, residents, business owners and city leaders gathered in small groups for a facilitated discussion about key themes gathered during the past two years. Key issues from neighborhood meetings held earlier this year include addressing safety, enhancing attractiveness, increasing activity, embracing and engaging youth, creating a vibrant business environment, improving infrastructure and preserving natural resources. At Table 7, Heart of Biddeford volunteer Nick Koufmann led a discussion with seven residents and business people, most of whom had never met before. Allison Towne DiMatteo, a Saco resident who works on Main Street in Biddeford, said she thinks the downtown area is beautiful and wants to see the city continue to foster a sense of community and safety. “I think they’ve come a long way in the past few years,” she said. The table also included Joan Brooks, a Heart of Biddeford volunteer and lifelong Biddeford resident; Brian Schrader and his son Steven, who both live downtown; Walter Buczacz, owner of Youland’s Jewelers on Main Street; Mike Manos, owner of Edward Jones on Main Street and a hockey coach at the University of New England; and Dan Ducharme, the owner of DAD’s Smoke Shop See DOWNTOWN, page 11 Brian Schrader, right, and Walter Buczacz discuss ideas for the future of downtown Biddeford during a facilitated community forum sponsored by Heart of Biddeford. About 120 people participated in the forum aimed at gathering values and ideas for a downtown master plan. (Gillian Graham photo) who is involved with Heart of Biddeford and Downtown Development Commission. The group said Biddeford’s assets include a creative economy and variety of small businesses. They agreed downtown has an urban feel but Biddeford still has the community feeling of a small town. Brian Schrader said he is impressed by the “amazing talents” of people in the city, while Buczacz said he appreciates the reusable architecture downtown. Manos said surrounding towns complement Biddeford and Brooks pointed out the city is close to lakes, rivers and parks. They agreed those connections make Biddeford even more attractive to visitors and residents. Much of the discussion centered on the importance of creating a vibrant business community and getting people to set aside misconceptions about the city and discover Main Street. “You can essentially eat around the world right in Biddeford. There’s plenty of things right here in Biddeford,” Ducharme said. “There’s a lot going on, we just have to get people to know it.” After revealing their favorite aspects of the community, participants at Table 7 shifted gears to talk about the change they would like to see. Safety was one of the group’s key issues, though all participants were quick to point out RESPECT. Just one of the reasons you’ll want to join our community.

But it was written for you, alone. During the last few weeks I was, in my opinion, blind-sided by members of both clubs. On a pretext, both clubs invited me to attend their respective meetings to represent the food pantry, and perhaps, speak about the project they are sponsoring. Instead, they, in succession, presented me the Private Sector Award from BiddefordSaco and the Paul Harris Fellow Award from Saco Bay. Receiving one was a shock, receiving both an honor; spending time with and meeting the members of both clubs, I consider a privilege. Though names are difficult to remember and faces may be slow in placing, the feelings for each and all cannot be altered. So, to each of you with heart felt and humble thanks, I can only say, God bless. Bob Nichols, Saco Their caring counts To the editor: The memorial garden and grounds at the HomeHealth Visiting Nurses headquarters in Saco received special attention at the 15th annual Day of Caring on June 9. Seven enthusiastic United Way volunteers from UNUM and Casco Indemnity spent the day weeding, trimming and spreading mulch throughout the garden and along the employee walking path. Sincere thanks are extended to UNUM staff Mary Leighton, Brenda Maiorino, Kathy Powers and Andrea Robinson and to Casco Indemnity employees Jennifer Anderson, Lillian Davis and Claudette Hokanson. The United Way of York County provided HomeHealth Visiting Nurses two grants last year totaling $23,500 to extend charity health care to home care patients and subsidize charity care at local community health clinics. Maryanna Arsenault, President and CEO HomeHealth Visiting Nurses A successful walk To the editor: I would like to extend my deepest thanks to all of those who walked in the “Walk for Life” in Biddeford and Saco on July 10. This walk was an overwhelming success. We had 42 people show up for the walk and we did this with only three weeks planning and raised more than $500 for Maine Right to Life. I would like to single out a few supporters who helped this walk to be such a success. First would be Yolande Lowell of Biddeford. Her passion for this cause is unmistakable and she made more than 50 phone calls to get walkers. Also, Mike Bolduc of the Knight of Columbus for inviting the Knights. Brad Watts and John Cushing of Saco, Bobby Richardson and Dawn Tarnowski of Biddeford – just to name a few. Thanks to everyone; next year’s planning is already beginning. The walk next year will be Saturday July 9. See you then. their commitment. On behalf of everyone at SMMC, thank you. Marc Worrell Biddeford Ed McGeachey, president and CEO Southern Maine Medical Center Grateful for response Sponsors appreciated To the editor: To the editor: On June 25, Southern Maine Medical Center staff saw first-hand the professionalism of Maine’s state and local police and fire personnel. The incident involving a car with pipe bombs in our emergency parking lot could have been a serious one. Our immediate concern was for the safety of our patients and staff, and because of the skill of the law enforcement personnel on-site, we knew the situation was under control and so were able to remain open, caring for our community. The teamwork exhibited by the State Police, State Fire Marshal’s Office, our local Biddeford police and fire departments and SMMC’s security staff was reassuring and critical for a positive outcome. This type of event is certainly out of the ordinary for SMMC, and we are so grateful for their expertise. I know it is their job to protect our community; however, I could not help but reflect on the tremendous risk and responsibility they carry by simply doing their jobs. I admire and appreciate Our daughter, Alexis Warren of Old Orchard Beach, recently was selected to participate in Nationals’ 2010 Miss PreTeen Portland pageant competition that took place June 26. She competed in the Miss Pre-Teen division, one of the four divisions in which girls ages of 7 to 19 compete in modeling routines that include casual wear and formal wear. Most important, Alexis displayed her personality and interviewing skills while interviewing with judges in Portland. Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged on during all the phases of competition. Community businesses, organizations, and private individuals assisted Alexis in participating in this year’s competition. Through sponsorship, she received the necessary training, rehearsals and financial support to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant. @MC@KKNTQRONMRNQR OQNTCKXAQHMFXNT«.TRHBNM.@HM4SQDDS¬EQDDKTMBGSHLDBNMBDQSRHMSGD O@QJ@CI@BDMSSNSGDA@MJ@S.@HM4SQDDSHM#HCCDENQC$NLDDMINX SGDRGNV 084 "--4)© OL '3&& L @ 5GTQRC@X+TKXSGª%NTF.HSBGDKK1DSD'HMJKD VVVCNTFLHSBGDKKMDS 4ONSKHFGSNMNTQRONMRNQR #HCCDENQC4@UHMFRK0KC'@RGHNMDC-NARSDQ#@JD##2K&SGNR.@QJDSHMF@MC%DRHFM )TKK-@V0EEHBDR--$K)D@QSNE#HCCDENQCK%Q%D@M5NTQHFMX%%41" +NTQM@K5QHATMDK.@HMDKX.DCH@K4TM$GQNMHBKDK0@J1NHMS"RRNBH@SDR &+)HQRS%.%K1@PTHM$@QQNKK*MRTQ@MBDK4LHSG&KKHNSS4LHSG(@QLDX1" Insurance Professionals...

Saco Girls Softball Students take a summer break to read Library Links By Sally Leahey Kids may be on vacation from school, but the evidence at McArthur Library shows that they’re not taking a break from reading. So far, nearly 600 children have signed up for the library’s Summer Reading Program. All indications are that they are reading up a storm and flocking to the weekly activities at the library. Each young person who signs up for the Summer Reading Program sets a goal and decides how many hours she or he wants to read during the next eight weeks. The reading may include any books, magazines, newspapers, graphic novels or audio-books, and the time may include being read to or reading aloud to others. McArthur Library is extremely fortunate to have the generous support of two local businesses that donate prizes as an added incentive for kids to read. All children who complete eight hours of reading receive a coupon for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen; everyone who finishes 16 hours of reading gets a coupon for a free pizza and French fries at TJ’s Pizza.

This is a great example of collaboration in the community! The Portland Sea Dogs also add to the fun by donating a free game ticket to the first 500 readers who sign up for the program. The Camp McArthur Summer Reading Program is offered to kids of all ages, from preschool through high school. Each Tuesday, activities are offered for the younger crowd, and on Wednesdays programs are geared to teen interests. For example, during the next couple weeks, younger children will have the chance to make camping snacks and play “Minute-To-Win-It,” and teens will decorate T-shirts and make duct tape crafts. While the main focus of the Summer Reading Program is to have fun and enjoy reading, there is in fact more serious reasons behind it. Research has shown that children who do not read during their summer vacation experience a For All Your Auto Body Repairs Dr. Altieri & his Team provide the most anxious patient the opportunity to have dental treatment performed while you sleep.

On the other hand, if readers finish as few as six books during a three month break, they can maintain their current level, and if they read more they may even improve their skills. According to one study, many children involved in summer reading programs gain significant vocabulary, socializing and even self-disciplined learning skills during this time. For this to work, it’s important children read books that appeal to them. Library staffers are delighted to help match each reader with just the right books to reflect personal interests and taste.

A: It is said that the more you have the more that you have to lose. That is certainly the case with your credit score. You can work and work to build a solid credit history with a resulting impressive credit score. You would think, given such a great track record, you would be given a little more leeway for an isolated glitch than someone with a history of credit problems. The truth is, the higher your score the further it will tumble compared to someone with a marginal score given the same glitch. Many wonder how much damage missing a payment or maxing out a credit card will do to their credit score. The fact is, it depends on your beginning score. MSN.com personal finance columnist Liz Pullman went directly to FICO, the company that created the credit score and asked input on how much various items hurt your score and was provided the following score deductions (effect on a 680 score / 780 score): • 30-day late payment: –60 to –80 / –90 to –110 • Maxed out card: –10 to –30 / –25 to –45 • Debt Settlement: –45 to –65 / –105 to –125 • Foreclosure: –85 to –105 / –140 to –160 • Bankruptcy: –130 to –150 / –220 to –240 Building and maintaining a solid credit score requires consistent and ongoing attention to detail and is a critical component of your overall financial success.

He swam hard, exhausting his energy before being pushed out of the edge of the current. “It was terrifying,” he said. “I was just very lucky.” Tilburg says there are ways to protect against rip currents even before getting in the water. The water near rip currents often is darker because of sediment and foam and debris on top of the water can indicate a current, he said. “You’ll almost see white water swirl and see a tunnel going out to the ocean,” Swinburne said. Willett said he encourages swimmers to pay attention to warnings – Old Orchard currently flies yellow caution flags – and ask lifeguards where it is safe to swim. “We’ll let you know where the safer place to swim is,” Swinburne said. “We tell people to be careful and be aware.” In Saco, the five lifeguards who guard two short sections of beach are taking a proactive approach with swimmers, Hirsch said. The city is preparing to post bright red rip tide caution signs to make people aware of the danger. “We want to get their attention,” Hirsch said. More experienced lifeguards are at Kinney Shores, where rip currents have been stronger. Those lifeguards will talk to people on the beach to warn them about the rip currents and encourage them to stay out of the water, Hirsch said. While not on the scale of rescues in Old Orchard Beach, lifeguards at Scarborough Beach State Park also have had a busy summer, Park Manager Greg Wilfert said. Wilfert, who has patrolled the beach for 39 years, said town-owned Higgins Beach and the state park are known for high surf, but the cumulative experience of his crew of lifeguards and local familiarity with the beach help keep swimmers safe. “You can tell by the way (swimmers) are acting,” Wilfert Dennis Lehane Community News said. “These guys can smell it.” Lifeguard Kaycee Stevens, a Scarborough resident, said he had helped two young swimmers during his shift last Thursday. Beach conditions were considered “yellow” in the color scale, signifying moderate surf and strong rip currents requiring caution. Stevens said swimmers who find themselves in trouble often do not realize how tired they are from fighting currents. Stevens said he watches swimmers in water beyond the break of the waves because they may be most susceptible to being pulled far from shore. “They run out of energy real quick and don’t realize they are in trouble,” Stevens said. Wilfert said rip currents had been exacerbated by the storms that move sand from the beach and create a more sudden drop-off just offshore. He said certain beach areas of the 1,500 feet of beach he supervises already are prone to the rapid outward flow of water. “In a matter of seconds, you can be out 100 yards,” Wilfert said of the more extreme conditions. Beach conditions are graded from green at the safest to red, where swimming is prohibited. Wilfert said surf last Thursday was higher than anticipated. Stevens said he looks for churning water that is a different color as it retreats from the beach to indicate rip currents might be at work. The three Scarborough-owned beaches – Higgins, Pine Point and Ferry, do not have lifeguards, but Fire Chief Michael Thurlow said last week emergency crews had not been called to any local rescues but had assisted Old Orchard Beach rescuers three times. Sitting in a wooden tower about four feet above the sand, Cole Theriault said he had probably assisted 20 to 30 swimmers over the eight years he has been on duty. Along with checking the beach conditions posted daily, Theriault said swimmers should ask lifeguards about the surf before going into the water.

After her Lyme disease diagnosis in 2007, Coulombe took a three-week course of strong antibiotics prescribed by an infectious-disease doctor. “At the end of the three weeks I was even worse off,” she said. “I couldn’t do anything. It was excruciating to do anything.” The doctor told her the pain was from “old age and arthritis” and she’d just have to deal with it, she said. “How could I have gone in two months from being so active to an invalid?” she said. “I felt utter despair and horror. I couldn’t accept I could be in this position for the rest of my life. I became very accepting of the fact that small progress was what it was going to be.” Coulombe kept a diary of her progress over the past three years and documented how she felt and what she did. She said she likely will always have Lyme disease and manages her symptoms with diet and by eliminating stress. By April 2009, Coulombe said felt she could get back to the gym. She stepped on the treadmill in her basement to run a mile. It took her 45 minutes. A couple days later, she ran a mile in 35 minutes. Now, off all medications, she runs a mile in 7 minutes and trains with runs nearly every day. Coulombe said she has the support of her husband and sons, 12-year-old Oliver and 7-year-old Elliot. All three stood by her during periods of excruciating pain and cheer on her accomplishments, she said. Elliot, who is looking forward to going to the Statue of Liberty in November, said it made him sad to see his mom sick. It is good she can run again, he said.

The program offers a “buddy” who will understand, give hope and help answer questions for people with Lyme disease and their families. important to bring more people to the area. People will feel more comfortable and safe walking around downtown in the evening if foot traffic increases, DiMatteo said. The final key issue for the group was enhancing attractiveness of downtown. Ducharme said he sees “lots of gems in Biddeford that just need to be cleaned up.” Group members said they would like more graffiti removal and enforcement of code violations. Angela Coulombe is documenting her journey to the New York Marathon at www. lymerunner.com, where donations can be made to support research and education. Coulombe said she is looking forward to November, when friends and family will crowd the race route to cheer her on. “I imagine I’ll probably cry when I finish,” she said. “It feels hugely emotional.” Despite her training schedule and her work as a Web designer and photographer, Coulombe makes time for Lyme Buddies, a program she started with a friend to provide people with Lyme disease a “buddy” to talk to about the disease. She said talking to someone who understands what you’re going through is a lifeline during a time that can lead to depression. Coulombe said she tries to spread information about prevention of Lyme disease. Before her diagnosis, she rarely did tick checks – a habit she called “naïve.” She now does checks that include running her hands over her skin to feel for tiny ticks that carry the disease. Developing these habits is essential to ensure both adults and children are protected from the disease, she said. “I can’t imagine this happening to kids because it is so painful and devastating,” she said. “It takes every ounce of every thing you’ve got to fight it. To come through the other side takes a real fighting spirit.” Psychic Readings By Shirley Now OPEN for the Season!

Heart of Biddeford Executive Director Ezekiel Callanan said community members will be invited to participate in two more forums to look at the master plan. In November, a rough first draft of the plan will be reviewed to make sure the ideas reflect what people want to see. A March 2011 forum will celebrate the process and allow for minor changes before the plan is finalized in April, he said. Callanan said he was happy with the turnout at the forum, though it fell short of the original goal. “The people who showed up were really engaged and committed to the process,” he said. Economic Development Director Daniel Stevenson said the master plan will help inform city officials as they plan for the downtown’s future. He said the city works in tandem with Heart of Biddeford so everyone will benefit from the process. “I think it’s fantastic because it allows the fabric of the community to voice the direction they want to go in and it continues to keep people informed at the same time,” he said. “Whenever we can have a collaborative effort, we want that. I see this as a great partnership.” Staff Writer Gillian Graham can be reached at 282-4337, ext. 213. 217 Commercial Street, Suite 202 Portland, ME 04101 Personalized service for personalized coverage When was the last time you called your insurance company and spoke with the same person twice?

GOLDTHWAITE’S POOL LOBSTER fall and injure a pedestrian, which could affect tourism. He said his research shows as turbines age there has been a steady increase in deaths and injuries. Lovell has toured wind farms and said turbines generally are not put in places where people congregate because of the risk of falling pieces. Councilor Jeffrey Christenbury, who is opposed to keeping the wind turbine, said the city will still be “on the hook for maintenance in perpetuity.” Councilor Eric Cote, a longtime supporter of the turbine and green efforts in the city, said he would like to keep the windmill and try new blades. “I’d like to give it a go and see what happens,” he said. Councilor Leslie Smith Jr. said he wants the windmill to stay because the city has invested not only time, but its image in the structure. “I think we’ve invested more than just money,” he said. “The thing makes a statement: we’re trying.” Smith said if the turbine was a broken piece of city equipment like a fire truck, it would have been fixed immediately. “It’s something to look at on (Saco Island) besides bricks. We should get back to making the damn thing spin,” Smith said. Mayor Ron Michaud said Heath will be invited to meet with councilors during a future workshop. “I think he’s going to have an uphill road to climb,” he said. After the workshop, Saco Spirit President Johanna Hoffman said she supports keeping the wind turbine because it is symbolic of the city’s dedication to being the greenest city. Communities across the state have been watching Saco and consider the city “visionary” for being the first to put a turbine downtown, she said. “What makes Saco unique and admired is its creative vision,” Hoffman said. Former Saco Mayor Mark Johnston, who lives and owns a business downtown, said he continues to support the wind turbine because it does not put pollutants in the air. He said the city also has invested money in infrastructure around the turbine and maintenance is not that expensive. “It’s a commitment to the future of our children and our community,” he said. “It’s an icon. Saco is defined by this wind turbine.” MAINE BALLROOM DANCE 614 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101 • 773-0002 www.maineballroomdancing.com, info@maineballroomdancing.com Traditions Italian Ristorante Birthdays July 23: Happy birthday Brandon Forcier from Mom and Dad … Happy anniversary mom and dad (Armand and Muriel Tardif) from Sharon and Brandon.

Former bus driver pleads guilty to DUI A former Saco bus driver pleaded guilty July 13 in Biddeford District Court to driving under the influence. Jan Mooney, 55, of Saco, changed her plea to guilty under a plea agreement with prosecutors. A second charge of operating under the influence was dismissed. A charge of endangering the welfare of a child will be dropped if she complies with the terms of the agreement. Under the agreement, Mooney will lose her license for 90 days and pay a $500 fine. She also was sentenced to 120 days in York County Jail with all but 10 days suspended pending completion of inpatient treatment, according to the plea agreement. The charges stem from a Dec. 8, 2009, incident when Mooney allegedly drove a school bus to Saco Middle School after she had been drinking. There were 27 students younger than 16 on the bus in the school parking lot when a police officer operating on a tip from a bus department employee DINNER SPECIALS Mabel’s Swedish Meatballs .......$7.99 Fish N’ Chips ................$8.99 Lobster Pie .................$11.99 Closed Sunday & Monday 12 Washington St., Biddeford • 282-9926 Woman dies after rescuing grandchild A Westbrook woman died after trying to rescue her grandchild from a strong current in Old Orchard Beach. Anne Farley, 57, died June 14 at Maine Medical Center, a day after attempting to rescue her grandchild, according to Deputy Police Chief Keith Babin. Around 2:35 p.m. June 13, lifeguards and a citizen reported six swimmers in the water at the end of New Salt Road who appeared to be in distress, he said. The lifeguards assisted all of the swimmers out of the water and Serving the Finest Seafood & Freshest Lobsters in Kennebunkport for over 50 Years. Restaurant Since 1953 Available Thurs, Fri, Sat Night 4-8:30pm WIrish ONDER BAR - American Cuisine boarded the bus, according to court files. Mooney did not put the bus in gear after students had boarded. After going with officers to the police department, her blood alcohol level was tested at .17, more than twice the legal limit, according to an affidavit filed by Saco Police Officer Megan Brownell. Mooney was dropped off at bus headquarters and told not to drive again. She was arrested a second time for allegedly driving under the influence after an employee told police she drove herself home. She resigned her position a week later. Open Daily: Lunch 11:30am - 3pm Dinner 5pm - 9pm immediately began CPR on Farley, who was unconscious, Babin said. She was taken to Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford before being transferred to Maine Medical Center. Babin said Farley was able to get her grandchild out of the water, but a very strong current from Goosefare Brook prevented her from getting out. Farley, who grew up in Portland and graduated from Deering High School, most recently was head librarian at Bonny Eagle Middle School in Buxton, according to her obituary. She is survived by her husband, John Farley, two stepchildren, five grandchildren and many other relatives. Bonny Eagle Middle School Assistant Principal Clay Gleason said Farley was a highly respected school staff member. “In her six years at BEMS, she was always a selfless, caring and compassionate professional. Her calm demeanor, caring smile and kind words enriched the lives of all who knew her,” Gleason said in an e-mail. “The impact she made on students and colleagues is immeasurable and we are still trying to come to terms with her untimely death. We feel fortunate to have known Anne and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.” – Staff Writer Gillian Graham B I N G O • Doors open at 3:00 p.m. • Kitchen opens at 5:00 p.m. LARGE & SMALL HALL RENTALS AVAILABLE 124 Ocean Avenue, Kennebunkport • 967-2562 FRIDAY at 6:15pm Held at: Rochambeau Club, 329 South St., Biddeford or call 283-3833 August 2010 Business Review usiness An advertiser’s favorite!

These days, savvy sellers are just as likely to carefully assess the condition of their properties prior to placing them on the market. Aside from uncovering problem areas and allaying fears about a home, a house inspection may serve as a negotiating tool. For example, neither buyer nor seller wants to enter negotiations with a leaky roof on the table. Uncovering such problems and making the necessary repairs beforehand paves the way for a smoother sale. Sellers who are able to present potential buyers with the findings of a certified home-inspection are availing themselves of a powerful marketing tool that may provide them with an advantage over the competition. 2118 sq. ft. of living space in this New Englander home. 4 BR, 2 full BA with room for 5th BR & 3rd full BA. New hardwood floors, 3 season porch could be used for 4 season porch with Amish heater. 2 garages, lawn, shed & 2 large decks. All up to code. Generator hook-up on electric panel. Ornate white vinyl fence encloses property for privacy, nicely landscaped. Zoned for many in-home businesses. Walking distance to shopping plaza.

If you have questions, or would like to make an appointment, please call me at 839.4141 ext. 106 or send an email (donna@olearysaxby.com).
