“Happy Season!” was the happy cry from the driver of a white
pickup as she entered the registration area at MX207 at the Lyman-Waterboro line on Routes
5 and 202 on opening day, April
30. While most locals drive by the
green and white sign on the side of
the road without notice, it is a destination for riders of motorcycles
of all sizes and sorts from all over
New England, and is even on the
national stage in the sport of motocross bike racing.
Prior to 2005, the 80-plus acres
at 53 Bartlett Bridge Road in Lyman was a large sand pit that was
frequented by off-road vehicle
riders. In 2003, Bill Stuart and his
family looked at the land. Bill had
an interest in building and living
there, but his wife Katherine was
determined to live on the water.
So, two years later, with a seasonal home on Lake Arrowhead, and
a home base in Duxbury, Massachusetts, Stuart opened MX207,
which was destined to become a
destination for bikers, and a highly
regarded track for devotees of motocross racing.
Stuart had grown up racing
motorcycles in the 60s, as the
sport was developing in the US,
and raced in his teens and twenties. “Back then the bikes were all
European made, with none made
in Japan or the US.” Living in
the Braintree area, he raced with
friends on tracks in Massachusetts
and around New England. He later got away from the sport until
his own kids got interested in dirt
bikes. Two sons and a daughter got
into it in the early 90s, and he was
back. “We were always looking
for places to practice and to race,
but both environmental issues and
legislation limited places to ride
and feel safe. The trend was toward private practice tracks.” This
led the way to what would eventually become MX207.
After buying the property in
2003, Stuart, his sons and crew
began to clean up the 85 acres and
build the track. “It took a couple
of years, but it kept changing, and
it’s still changing. It’s never done!”
Elements of the track development
included a mini track for young
riders in a protected environment,
the major track itself, and a system of ponds. There was also
need for a large “pit” for the host
of RVs, trucks, and every kind of
equipment conceivably related to
the sport of motocross as well as
vendors dealing in parts, tires, and
food. Stuart calls the encampment
a “temporary campground,” aka
“overnight parking.” A more recent
development is “Bartlett Bridge
Raceway, a clay go-kart track now
open for its second season, alternating Friday evenings races with
The Saco Pathfinders track.
As they began to create what
would become MX207, what they
had to work with was dirt. Whether
sand, clay, loam or any combination
thereof, Stuart says dirt is the basic
ingredient of a motocross track.
“You take a sand pit and riders are
all over the place, going in every
direction. A track, that’s completely different. Stuart says they started
with what was there, terrain-wise,
and went from there. “The dirt
makes the track, the dirt can speed
up or slow down bikes. It’s a science, and we’re always learning.”
Next in importance to the dirt
of the track is moisture. “Too little and the whole area becomes a
dust bowl, the safety factor is lost
and it becomes a nuisance for the
neighbors. Too much and the track
is mud, which does not make for a
good race.”
Therefore the other essential
to the track’s infrastructure is an
extensive irrigation system, with
spring-fed ponds and more than
360 water heads rising above the
entire extent of the large and mini
tracks. These are filled by a number of spring-fed ponds through

About twenty Waterboro residents attended a public hearing
on May 10 and all who spoke had
strong sentiments in favor of paying what it will cost to add a second contract deputy for the town.
The referendum item to appear
on the June 14 ballot reads, “Shall
the town enter into a contract with
the York County Sheriff’s Office
to provide a second contract deputy for full time Waterboro patrol
at a cost not to exceed $110,000.”
Public Safety Committee Chair
Ted Doyle explained that the committee started with a mandate to
explore options for meeting the
town’s law enforcement needs
back in 2014. Citing the large expense of funding a town police
department, and drawing on the
different experiences of Shapleigh
and Buxton, Doyle stated, “It is
not cost effective for the town to
have its own department, and it
is ridiculous to think one contract

When the diggers
visited
The day was breezy but the
Master Gardener diggers came
prepared with warm clothing,
shovels, flower pots, and willing hands. Their labors centered
around two Alfred gardens where
the perennials threatened to crawl
over the garden edges. The plants
had done what perennials do multiply. So they were ripe for
digging.
It took over two hours of organized labor by six diggers and two
pickup trucks, to remove excess
plants (like lily of the valley, dog
bane, cone flowers, and artemisia) and shrubs ( lilacs, yellow twig
dogwood, Martha Washington hawthorn,) and even blueberries.
They were potted, labeled and
taken to a Springvale home to be
held on the lawn until it was time
for the annual plant sale on Saturday, May 21 on the patio outside
the Maine Extension Office in
Springvale.
The Master Gardeners have
done more than dig.. They have
been growing seedlings to sell,
both flowers, herbs and vegeta-
ALFRED
bles, and selling raffle tickets for
garden related items donated by
local businesses. The sale will
open at 8:30 a.m. and continue
until noon. Customers start lining
up before 8 a.m., some with carts
and wagons for their purchases.
Profits from sales will benefit
Master Gardener projects. These
include community gardens, the
“Teaching Kids to Grow” program, gleaning for York County
food pantries, and educational
programs. Garden owners benefit
by the work done by the diggers;
diggers benefit by being provided
with plants for their sales. It benefits both parties.
Comprehensive Plan
A current draft of Alfred’s new
comprehensive plan is now available online and at the Town Hall,
and the committee wants input
from townspeople! The Alfred
Comprehensive Plan is the longrange plan that will guide Alfred’s
future for the next ten to fifteen
years. Many code and zoning
changes for the town cannot be
made unless they are supported by
the comprehensive plan, although
the plan itself does not have the
authority to enact any changes: it
is a guiding vision , but any actual zoning or ordinance changes
would still need to go before town
meeting.

The comprehensive plan is
made up of two major sections:
“the inventory” of the town’s
current resources; and the “goals,
policies and strategies” which
recommends actions the town
should take in order to reach the
goals. The plan is written by the
Comprehensive Planning Committee, with input from town residents. A draft will be presented at
a public hearing June 7 at Conant
Chapel, and residents will be
asked to give input.
The committee will take
this input and rework the plan
throughout the summer to create
a final draft which will be presented on Sept. 13. This draft will
be voted on (a simple up or down
vote) by ballot on Nov. 11, 2016.

meeting – the committee meets
the first and third Thursday of
each month, at 6:30 p.m. upstairs
in the Town Hall, and all meetings are open to the public.
New Eagle Scout
Andrew Lanoix’s Eagle Scout
Project was to build a snowmobile bridge for the Lyman Snowmobile Club. It is located on what
is called the Lyman Loop in Ly-
man. The 54 foot bridge was rotted and narrow and not safe for the
trail groomer. Andrew accepted
the challenge to rebuild the bridge
from Tom Hatch, the president of
the snowmobile club.
With the help of his fellow
scouts, his scout leaders and
friends the project slowly came
to life. The new bridge was made
wider and safer with added guard
rails. He started his project in late
August of 2015 and finished it in
late October.
His Eagle Scout project was
accepted by the Boy Scouts of
America on February 24, 2016.
The new bridge will be used not
just by snowmobilers but also by
hikers, joggers, and mountain bikers.
His Eagle Scout Ceremony
was held May 7 and was called to
order by Tom Cormier, Scoutmaster of Troop 399 in Lyman. Life
Scout Jacob Gervais from Alfred
gave commands for the color
guard to post the colors and recite
the pledge. The color guard members included Branden St.Laurent
from Alfred Troop 345 and Lance
Paradis.
Cormier explained the colors
of the Eagle Badge signify loyalty, courage and honor, all qualities
Andrew has developed on his way
to Eagle. Andrew lit candles for
each color.

Andew’s scouting career. Jacob
recalled how well Andrew could
conceal himself during games of

stepped on him; McCadden shared
memories of troop campouts
when Andrew learned important
orienteering skills and recalled he
became an expert firemaker; Nagy
spoke of his own son’s scouting skills and how he used them
to help himself and others. The
scoutmasters recalled how shy
Andrew was when he first crossed
over into Boy Scouts,, hiding behind his parents at the crossover
when he was 11 years old. McCadden told him how proud he
was that he had continued into
Boy Scouts.

CONTRACT DEPUTY
(Continued from page 1)
deputy is sufficient to meet the
needs of this town with its size
and population. To say that one
contract deputy is overextended is
being polite.” He urged residents
to, “Protect our town, our citizens
and our way of life.”
The committee is recommending that a second contract deputy
be added, and after studying the
additional coverage over the next
18 months, a third contract deputy
be considered.
Committee member Ron Ayotte agreed, adding the benefit of
“community policing,” in which
a dedicated officer spends time in
and gets to know the people and
activity of the community, and is
then better able to engage in preventive instead of merely reactive
policing.
Another committee member,
Andrew Doyle added that Shawn
Sanborn, the current contract deputy, does engage in proactive policing, but with the amount of calls
he handles, equal to the multiple
deputies of Shapleigh and the police department of Buxton, Shawn
is unable to provide the proactive
work needed in the town.
Nancy Roberge, also a committee member, spoke with emotion when she said, “I work for
York County Superior Court. I see
what goes on in Waterboro every
day. It scares the heck out of me.
What people see on the news and
read in the paper is very small representation of the criminality that
goes on in this town.”
Three residents spoke from
personal experience of having
been burglarized or otherwise
having been made to feel unsafe,
including Charles Gassett and Michael Tinelli, whose homes have
been burglarized, and who had to
wait for police to respond. Gassett
said, “Once your home becomes
‘ground zero’ you want things to
change.” Tinelli, of North Waterboro, said he had to wait an hour
for help. “Shawn was off, and the
covering deputy was two towns
away, covering a missing child.”
Both spoke to the need for a second contract deputy.
Tinelli added that, “The money
is not so much when broken down
- a cup of coffee a week. It’s minimal for extra protection. We have
two pharmacies in town. If we
had an armed robbery, how long
would it take for help to get there?
He cited his 32 years in law enforcement, saying, “It’s not easy.
We need to move out of the dark
ages and build up protection.”
Budget committee member
Richard Briganti spoke last, upping the ante of the Public Safety’s recommendation. “I’m for
a third deputy right now. I think
18 months (to wait for that) is too
long. I deal with addicts in my
work and they’re ruthless. A second contract deputy will help and
third will be even better.”
Sanborn, accompanied by his
young son, was present at the
hearing to answer questions, but
none were addressed to him. And
while there may be sentiment in
town against the measure, no one
appeared at the hearing to articulate that position.
In terms of cost, Town Administrator Gary lamb explained that
funding for the second deputy position is “not to exceed $110,000.
That includes salary, comprehensive law enforcement union benefit package, all vehicle purchase
or lease and operational expenses. We pay it all.” Broken down
by individual taxpayer, “Every
$7,550 dollar increase or decrease
to the budget raises or lowers the
mil rate by one penny. Consequently, every $755,000 increase
or decrease to the budget would
raise or lower the mil rate by one
dollar.”
Thursday, May 19, 2016 @ 7:00 PM
Waterboro Town Hall Annex
Doing the math, he went on,
“Take $110,000 which is the maximum cost for the second deputy
and divide by $755,000, and you
get 15 cents on the mil rate. For a
$100K house that would be a $15
property tax increase, or a $30
dollar increase for $200K property, etc.”
Selectboard members TammyJo Girard, Gordon Littlefield, Jon
Gale and Dennis Abbott spoke in
favor of the second contract deputy. Each also spoke to the imperative for residents to realize that
there will be two votes required
for the referendum to actually go
into effect. Selectman Dwayne
Woodsome agreed with the need
to vote twice for anyone’s preference on the question.
On Tuesday June 14, the referendum must receive a “yes” vote
in order to advance to the Town
Meeting Budget vote. If it does
not pass on June 14, it dies. Then,
at town meeting, on Saturday June
18, it must gain enough votes for
the budget for the position to be
funded.
Board Chair Abbott reminded
voters that there is the perception
that the selectboard makes all the
town decisions and a small “silent
majority” of townspeople actually
attend the Town Meeting and vote
everything in. “That may be the
perception, but if enough of those
who want this position to be created and to be funded do not show up
at town meeting, it will not pass.”
He added, “If there I anything at
town meeting that is important to
you, you need to be there to vote
for it. Otherwise, it may not pass.”

Weston Bergeron led with a single but the next two men flew out
to center. Clean-up man Brandon
Dyer walked to push Bergeron up
to second base and a clutch Derek

single. DeAngelis (3-3, RBI, 2B,

left to plate Dyer and make it 2-0.
Massabesic got all the runs

With one out, Simon Roberts and Weston Bergeron got on
with back-to-back singles. Tyus
Sprague-Ripley flew to center for
the second out, but Dawson Renaud (2-4, 3B, R) legged out an
infield single to load the bases for
Dyer. He scorched a 1-0 offering
all the way to the wall in left to
plate all three runners and make it
5-0 Mustangs.
Gregoire, for his part, was excellent. He sat down eight of the
first nine, walked none during the
stint and fanned four.
Weston Bergeron got the final
two outs for the save.

The Lyman-Dayton Lions Club has maintained a food concession stand at the
MX 207 track for as long as its been there. Here Robin Morin and Matt Toulouse of Springvale await lunch served by Lions Dan Brown of Lyman, Abby
DeRosie of Lyman, Patty Adams of Sanford and Keith Jordan of Shapleigh.
Eight-year-old Derek Souliere is Waterboro’s youngest motocross rider who
competes at MX 207. Shown here with his 65cc bike, he also competes in
50cc events and is aiming at clinching the 7 to 11 year-old 50cc title this year
in the Eastern Motocross Network (EMXN). PHOTOS BY BRIGIT MCCALLUM
Louise Doughty explained, “At
first we were in a temporary booth
and then 15 years ago Bill invited
us to build a permanent structure,
so here we are.” Business has been
good, but Abby DeRosie and Keith
Jordan noted that the increase in
large, self-sufficient RVS at the
track has cut into their lunch sales
somewhat, but, “Breakfast is the
big meal, and that will always be
popular – it’s good!”
The facility, which receives top
marks from everyone questioned,
is staffed by a crew and volunteers
that maintain MX207 in a way that
biker parent Mark Steidler of Buxton describes as “One of the best
tracks – period.” He commends
the small but hard-working crew.
Owner Bill and his son Danny do
much of the track maintenance,
while team members Rick and
Mike keep everything else running. Announcer John Pecaturo is
a familiar voice and all the racers
know Steve Mooney as starter.
Dorothy West of Buxton and Debbie Prentiss of Hollis are members
of the crew that Bill Stuart calls,
“Good people, who make it all
happen.”
Steidler has been part of what
he calls “The big motocross family” at MX207 for years, as his son
Justin’s biking career developed.
Mark and his wife Carrie outfitted
Justin the first year and he started
practicing. “He started racing a
year later and from then on, he or
we were there four days a week!”
As Mark thinks back, he says, “It’s
been so positive for Justin. He was
shy, never found anything that really interested him, was more of an
independent person. With racing,
he set goals and bettered himself.
It all built confidence. Didn’t come anyone will show you the ropes.”

OBITUARIES
Edward J. Lefebvre
Edward J. Lefebvre, 90, a beloved Pepe, died peacefully, surrounded
by
his family on
April 25, 2015
at his home in
Waterboro.
Edward
was born on
Feb. 12, 1926
Edward J.
at home in
Lefebvre
Freeport, one
of eight children born to George
M. and Lawra (Davis) Lefebvre.
Edward was a child that came
through the Great Depression
and knew the value of hard work,
making things last and using it
twice before recycling it to use
again. It made him appreciate the
simple things in life and shaped
his days with routine and predictability; working in Saco, loading
coal cars, for over 40 plus years.
He married Irene M. Lavigne
and they shared 60 years together
and raised their three children on
Green Street in Biddeford. Following the death of his wife, his
longtime neighbors and friends
helped him to remain in his home;
where he lived independently and
remained active until 2011 when
he moved into his granddaughter’s home in Waterboro.
While living with his granddaughter Nancy and her family,
Edward was very content to play
card games with the great grandchildren and watch the old westerns on television. Some of his
other favorite programs included
MASH, Gunsmoke and Gillian’s
Island. It was great to see him
smile and he loved to share his
stories from childhood. He had
a special nickname for his great
granddaughter Heather, “Chum”
within his heart meant, “My best
friend.” Edward was a man of
principles and remained dedicated
to his Catholic faith.
He is survived by his two
children, Kathleen Duranceau of
Alaska and Claire Bedard of Waterboro; his grandchildren, Nancy
Williams and husband Frank of
Waterboro; David Bedard of Lewiston; Leo J.R. Bedard, Jr. Old Orchard Beach; and Joan Bedard of
Lake Arrowhead; his great granddaughters, Heather Burt of Biddeford and Shalleigh Williams of
Waterboro. He is also survived by
many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Edward was predeceased by
his wife, Irene; his son, Edward,
Jr. and by his three brothers, Henry, Leo Paul, and Roland Lefebvre;
and by his four sisters, Raynette
Lavigne, Doris Lavigne, Theresa
Mink, and Pauleen Labelle.
The family will honor Edward’s life later this summer and
will be buried next to his wife at
St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Biddeford. To leave a message of condolence for the family visit www.
autumngreenfuneralhome.com.
Charles “Sonny”
Townsend Jr.
Charles “Sonny” Townsend
Jr., 76, Hollis, entered into peace
after a long
illness on May
10, 2016.
Sonny was
employed for
33 years at
Central Maine
Power Company. He worked Charles “Sonny”
Townsend Jr.
in the River
Crew and went on to be the head
operator of the West Buxton Power
station. In 1983, Sonny, along with
his wife, Lee, began operating their
own seafood business. Townsend’s
Seafood supplied quality, fresh
seafood to its community until
their retirement in 2004.
Sonny was an accomplished
pilot, which was his first true pas-
sion. He shared this passion with
his son, Chris. Once he retired,
he enjoyed golfing with his son,
Brent, and many friends at Salmon Falls Country Club where he
was a longtime member. He also
enjoyed riding his Harley, taking short road trips with his son.
Sonny was an amazing artist and
enjoyed drawing portraits of his
children and grandchildren. His
daughter, Danita, was a huge supporter of his amazing talent.
Sonny was always busy enjoying the outdoors in the summer
and plowing snow in the winter
months. His talents and presence
will be sorely missed.
Surviving loved ones include
his wife of 56 years, Ernestine
“Lee” Townsend of Hollis, three
children, Christopher Townsend
and his wife Cathy of Chelsea,
Danita Trepanier and her husband John of Windham, Brent
Townsend and his wife Lisa of
Standish, 8 grandchildren as well
as 12 great-grandchildren, and
his sister Annette Arnold and her
partner Stan of Old Orchard.

Nasson College in Springvale.
Ken had a quick wit, a dry
sense of humor, and a love of
music--gifts he shared for many
years on the radio. Known as
“The Old Man of the Mountain,”
he was a beloved DJ and host on
WCDQ-FM in Sanford. He later
became production manager for
WLKZ in Gilford, New Hampshire, and also worked at Bonanza
in Sanford.
Ken’s love of music inspired
him to take up the ukulele and join
Ukulele Strummers of Southern
Maine. He brought his ukulele to
concerts, where his favorite musicians signed it, including Aoife
O’Donovan, the Wailin’ Jennies,
and Jake Shimabukuro.
Ken’s ukulele playing embodied his profound sweetness. He
was a tender and compassionate
man who cared for his family,
friends, and his beloved parrot, Bogart. He listened deeply,
helped everyone around him, and
uplifted all of us with his humor.
Ken was predeceased by his father, Russell Ridley. He will be sadly missed by his mother Judith Ridley of Springvale, Maine, his sister
Kimberly Ridley and her husband
Thomas Curry of Brooklin, Maine,
as well as several aunts and uncles
and many nieces and nephews.

allowed on trails.
The Jamboree will draw local
members and surrounding ATV
enthusiasts. “The Mud Bog is a
huge draw. Landowners don’t
want mud bogs on their land. People who enjoy mud holes don’t get
to do them normally, so this is a
great chance to have some fun!”
The Jamboree will feature
vendors, including Abbott’s
Power Equipment and Cabella’s; there will be raffles including memberships, and a featured
drone raffle that will be drawn at
Old Home Days.
According to Abbott, the Jamboree is a kickoff event as trails
open for the season. Kids will
be involved in obstacle and other races. There will be events
with trophies for both two-wheel
and 4-wheel drive vehicles. FMI
check the Ossipee Mountain ATVers Facebook page.
Change of venue for
Old Home Days
Old Home Days 2016 will take
place Friday, July 8, from 5 p.m. to
10 p.m., through Saturday, July 9
from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. This year’s
event will be held on the Massabesic Middle School grounds
instead of the high school. The
committee is hard at work, and
looking for many others to join
in. Committee members work
together to make this memorable
community event happen. Applications may be found at town hall,
or on the town’s website at taterboro-me.gov.
“The Music Stage” is a new
venue to be added on Saturday

Lowe hopes “Waterboro residents

share their music even if it’s just
a song or two, and we are particularly interested in seeing our
school kids step into the spotlight;
