Tax bills to rise 6.2 percent Grants aid
By Wm. Duke Harrington
Staff Writer
KENNEBUNK — If the town budget
for the coming fiscal year, to start July
1, is approved by voters, it will mean
a 6.2 percent increase in property tax
bills.
That hike is based on an anticipated
1.5 percent increase in Kennebunk’s
share of the York County budget, a proposed $44.53 million school budget unveiled March 21, and a $12.65 million
municipal budget finalized at the most
recent selectmen’s meeting on March
22.
That session was the final opportunity for selectmen to enact changes to
town spending, but all seemed satisfied
with the spending plan. Also seemingly
content are residents. A public hearing
on the municipal budget at the March
22 meeting drew no public comment.
Kennebunk’s gross budget increase
comes to $990,078 (or, 7.7 percent) to
$12.65 million. That breaks down as
$4.08 million for general government
administration, $3.84 million for pub-
lic safety, $2.99 million for public services (i.e. the highway department),
$760,000 for debt service, and $553,819
for the library.
However, after accounting for anticipated revenue during the year, from
excise taxes and other fees, plus state
revenue sharing and $100,000 taken from the town’s undesignated surplus fund to help reduce taxes, the net
budget for the coming year rings in at
$8.45 million – up $779,728 (10.2 perSee BUDGET, page 11

Bag ban bound for Kennebunk ballot box
Staff Writer
KENNEBUNK — A proposal to ban
so-called “single-use” plastic shopping
bags from stores in Kennebunk appears bound for the June ballot.
The measure will be the subject of a
public hearing at the April 12 selectmen’s meeting. The board, which has
expressed broad support for the ban,
is expected to vote at that meeting to
place the item on the June 14 town
meeting warrant. A public hearing on
the full warrant is scheduled for the
April 26 selectmen’s meeting.
The idea was first raised in June 2015
by Bella Rossborough, a fourth-grader at Sea Road Elementary School.
At the time, selectmen referred her
to the town’s energy efficiency adviso-
ry committee, wishing her luck as it
was noted the idea to ban plastic bags
had been raised before in Kennebunk
without success. But Rossborough attended every single committee meeting
in hopes of seeing her idea through to
fruition, and quickly won support for
an ordinance proposal modeled on recent initiatives in Portland and South
Portland.
Both cities now assess a 5-cent fee
for plastic bags given by any business
that does more than 2 percent of its
gross business in food sales. At their
Feb. 9 meeting selectmen entertained
the committee proposal, referring it to
their own ordinance subcommittee.
At those meetings, selectmen tooled
their inspiration from the other direction, turning south to York, which has
adopted a total ban on plastic shopping
bags. Indeed, that’s what came back to
the full board on March 9, with the fee
meant to discourage use of plastic bags
replaced with a full ban on all bags that
have a thickness of less than 3 millimeters and also have an integral handle.
In other words, trash bags, dry cleaning
bags, sandwich bags and the bags used
to wrap newspapers for delivery, among
other types, would not be subject to the
ban.
The final version of the ordinance reviewed by selectmen at their March 22
meeting contained one amendment, allowing them to make minor revisions in
the future without a town meeting vote.
“This would give you a little bit of
flexibility going forward in the future if
you wanted to make some tweaking or
amendments to this, where we wouldn’t
have to send it back to the legislative
body for approval,” Town Manager Barry Tibbetts said.
Some on the board, fully behind the
ban, saw that as a potential opening to
take it one step further.
“Does a little tweak include Styrofoam, or do you think that’s more than
a tweak?” Selectman Richard Morin
asked.
“I’ll have to confer with the attorney
on that,” Tibbetts said. “But that might
very well fall within the same purpose.”
“Well, I’m going to restate my frustration that didn’t go for the throat, and
I think we should have,” Morin said.
“If we’re going to take plastic bags out,
we should take the Styrofoam out.”
“I agree. I think that’s something that
should come up before the board at a

Wells Reserve to host
conservation biologist
What does it matter whether coyotes live
in Maine’s landscapes or not? And what
if mountain lions and wolves return again
to Maine - what does it matter? And what
does it matter how we as humans treat
them? What do they have to do with our
lives, and the lives of children and grandchildren? Come find out, as conservation
biologist Geri Vistein shares research that
has discovered the real life stories of carnivores – what happened to them, then
what happened to their prey, then what
happened to the land we call America …
and then what happens to us.
Wells Reserve will host “Why do we need
Large Carnivores Anyway?” by Vistein 7
p.m. Tuesday, April 26.
Vestein will sign copies of her new book
“I Am Coyote.” The evening programs are
free and open to all, no reservations needed. Meetings are held in Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm
Farm, 342 Laudholm Farm Road, Wells,
ME 04090. For more information, call
Mary Bateman at 646-8589, or visit www.
yorkcountyaudubon.org.
Library’s April 7 story
time is canceled
Due to staff training, story time at Kennebunk Free Library will not be held on
Thursday, April 7.
Story times will return the following
week, April 11 through April 14.
• Parenting Class at Kennebunk Free
Library: Stevie Westmoreland will lead
her next Parenting Class at the Kennebunk Free Library on Friday, April 1 at 10
a.m. Westmoreland has been in private
practice as a licensed marriage and family
therapist and licensed clinical professional counselor for 30 years. She also
brings her own experience as a parent and
grandparent to the discussion.
The class offers an opportunity for
parents, grandparents and caregivers to
gather to share the joys and challenges of
parenthood. Skills developed will focus
on identifying and understanding a child’s
four basic feelings, calming ourselves
down and the positive effect of mirror
neurons with children.
The event is free, wheelchair accessible,
and open to all. For more information,
visit www.katherinestevenswestmoreland.
com/the-well.html or call 985-2511.
• Homeschooling group meets: The
Kennebunk Free Library Homeschooling
Group will meet at 2 p.m. Monday, April 4.
This is an opportunity for homeschooling
families to get together with others and
exchange ideas or ask questions. This will
be the last meeting before the Homeschoolers’ Art Show held at the library, and
will be the last opportunity to register.
The meeting is free and wheelchair
accessible. For more information, call 9852173.
• Tail Waggin’ Tutor: Jack, a certified
therapy dog, will visit Kennebunk Free
Library from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April
9 to encourage children to read. Students
of all ages are invited to drop in to read to
Jack.
Library Reading Dogs can help children
increase their reading skills and become
more confident readers. The dog provides
a non-judgmental listener and children
often relax in a manner they might not
when reading to an adult or sibling. Practice gained by reading to a dog has been
shown to help students increase reading
fluency. Of course, associating reading
with something fun like patting a dog
helps, too.
Jack also volunteers at the Kennebunk
Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. He
will be accompanied by Ursula and Katie
Roese.
No preregistration required. The program is free, wheelchair accessible, and
open to all. For more information, please
call 985-2173.

Nonantum Resort wins
tourism award
At the Maine Governor’s conference
on tourism, March 22 at Sunday River, The Nonantum Resort received the
2016 Award for Tourism Leadership and
Growth.
The Nonantum’s Fire and Ice event,
which draws nearly 3,000 visitors to
Kennebunkport in mid-December, and
includes a variety of industry partners,
has helped to expand the second weekend
of Christmas Prelude and the economic
benefits of tourism to the area.
“The Nonantum models the way for
tourism business collaborations that
strengthen destinations,” said Carolann
Rose, who is about 9 years old, was recently surrendered to Another Chance
Animal Rescue in Sanford after being
abused in her home. The rescue’s pet
expo raises much-needed funds for
veterinarian bills and for the care of
hundreds of cats and dogs each year.

Letters to the Editor
Removing dams has potential
for great cost to community
To the editor:
The following is a letter we sent to The Kennebunk Light
and Power Company in January 2016; To Todd Shea and the
trustees of Kennebunk Light and Power District:
So the dam was removed on Goff Mill Brook in 45 minutes
after years and years and years of having a small dam holding the water back from pouring into the Kennebunk River.
During those many years (people differ on the length of time
as there were different dams there at different times ... maybe well over 100 years or more ....), wildlife created homes,
breeding, and feeding grounds along the banks and in the
waters. The habitat was rich with birds, fish, frogs, turtles,
eels (which the experts said weren’t there but would come
when the dam came down), mammals, plant life ... and even
humans lived along the banks and found recreation on the
water ... fresh water ... and the humans found peace and joy
in being a part of the serenity and the wilderness and all so
close to the busyness of the towns. The water rose and fell
with the seasons and the environment had a healthy and
productive wildlife and plant life ... all in harmony ... vibrant
and rhythmic … birds of prey, song birds, wading birds, trout,
numerous kinds of turtles, many sorts of frogs, beavers, otters, muskrat, fox, mink, merganser ducks, wood ducks, mallards, kingfishers, black crowned night heron, green heron,
great blue heron, sea gulls, many many species seen and
many that escaped our view. This was a vibrant, healthy
habitat that supported hundreds and included humans. Our
lives were the better for it.
With the removal of the dam, came a decimation of this
vital, vibrant environment. The water rushed out to sea to
contribute to the ever growing concerns of coastal flooding
and erosion, the banks were rapidly exposed and the beaver
tunnels could no longer be reached by the beavers who disappeared within in the first avalanche of rushing water, the
NO FOOLING

little eels lay flopping and dying on the exposed mud of the
back water coves, the lily pads lay ruined and the water level
dropped 6 to 8 feet. (Although the expert that presumably
studied the Goff Mill Brook said the water was no more than
4 feet deep anywhere along this stretch was wrong about that
along with many other claims made at the meetings.) The release did provide a banquet for many, many birds where the
water rushed out below River Road before entering the main
part of the Kennebunk River as fish, eels, frogs, turtles (that
had just hatched) were good for a final feast for those fortunate enough to have survived. But the experts were long
gone by then. They had cheered, packed up their equipment,
and had left within minutes of the downing of the dam. No
follow-up....they’d accomplished their goal … the dam was
down … whatever happened next was not their problem.
No one cared about the existing wildlife except those of us
who lived along the brook and marveled at the workings of
nature. At a habitat that had built up over many, many years
and that was strong and healthy. No one cared that we would
be releasing fresh water out to sea, and that if all dams are
removed and the rivers, brooks, and streams are emptied
into the ocean, this may impact the swelling ocean waters.
No. What they said is that some fish and eels would come up
the brook. They said it would be a different environment but
they didn’t know just what. They wanted the brook to run
free. Why? It was doing very nicely. They did not care about
the people either. They wanted it to be like it was before people lived here. Why? This was not a polluted body of water.
This habitat was valuable. The wildlife was valuable.
So what have we now? It has been six months since the
dam was downed on Sept. 18, 2015. In that time, we have
seen three mallards, one great blue who came to polish off
what was left that was trapped in rocks now exposed, one
red fox who explored the vacant beaver dens on the opposite
bank. The water rushes past and acts like a storm drain. The
beavers, otters, muskrats, and all the other listed animals
are gone. We have no idea what the survival rate was but
there are no sightings of frogs, turtles, or fish. Aquatic plants
were destroyed and neighbors report that large, old trees are
falling in with the collapse of the banks. We are aware this is
winter now but we have lived along this brook for 12 years
and our parents for 18 years before us, so we know what normal is and this is not normal.
It would seem prudent to retain our freshwater options. We
may say, “Oh, not here,” when it comes to drought or additional water needs as we have seen in other parts of this country

17 Western Avenue,
and the world. What makes it more desirable to let the water rush away; really, more desirable? We do not know what
will happen when the present eco-systems are destroyed. We
are replacing vital, known habitats and wildlife and human
homes and values with the unknown that we truly do not
know will be improvements. This decision impacts everyone.
On Goff Mill Brook (which was once called Middle River
because it is the size of one, for sure), we are losing freshwater daily and the salt water that we were told would come
up does not seem to be able to make the climb up from the
river. This seems like a big experiment to us that has cost
us all dearly. This was very poorly managed. We know that
there is public grant money for the tearing down of dams. We
know that there are people who are funded to see that the
dams are down. We know that there very well may be rivers,
brooks, and streams that will benefit by dam destruction, but
we do not believe that Goff Mill Brook was one of them and
we warn you that you are proposing a dangerous experimentation at potentially great cost to your community if you take
down those dams on the Mousam River.

Plenty of support for
Mousam River dam removal
To the editor:
There has been a great deal of misinformation in recent
letters to the editor by people in favor of keeping the three
dams on the Mousam River. A few people are trying to portray those of us who are in favor of dam removal as a bunch
of people from away who are a part of some conspiracy to
destroy the river and this beautiful town we all live in.
Nothing could be further from the truth. All you have to
do is go to the Kennebunk Light and Power website and
look at the written comments submitted to the utility in favor of dam removal. You will quickly see that the majority
of comments in favor of dam removal are from residents of
Kennebunk. You will recognize the names of your friends
and neighbors, people who live on the river, people who own
property on the river. People like me who care a great deal
about the health and beauty of the Mousam.
I have lived in Kennebunk for well over 30 years. My children were both born and raised here, a short walk from the
river. When my kids were young we would gaze over the
bridge on Route 1 in the spring to marvel at the elvers, shad
and alewives trapped below the dam. I fish on the Mousam,
I swim in it, canoe on it and have even skated on it. And I’m
proud to be a member of the Mousam and Kennebunk River
Alliance along with many other residents of this town. I’m
also glad we can draw on the scientific resources and support of organizations like Maine Rivers, the Maine Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, and the Sebago Chapter of
Trout Unlimited who help us in our efforts to protect and
restore the Mousam and Kennebunk rivers.

in a region that has traditionally been a summer
vacation destination.”
The Governor’s Conference on Tourism Awards
recognizes individuals,
businesses and organizations that have distinguished themselves as
models for the industry
and contributing to the
overall growth of tourism
in Maine.
Fire and Ice, now in its
sixth year, is a two-night
sold out event featuring
blazing bonfires on the resort’s back lawn, elaborate
ice bars and sculptures,
dancing to the Tony Boffa
band, and comfort foods
provided by area restaurant partners.
The benefits of Fire and
Ice extend beyond The
Nonantum’s doors. Area
inns are now selling out on
both weekends of Prelude,
and some even report the
second weekend surpassing the first. Area restaurants, shops and galleries
are seeing far more foot
traffic from holiday shoppers and diners.
A significant portion of
the proceeds go to support
local nonprofits, with The
Education Foundation
of the Kennebunks and
Arundel, and Make-A-Wish
Maine each receiving a
$5,000 donation last year.
The nonprofit beneficiaries
also send volunteers to
help staff the event.
Award-winning
photographer
to visit students
Regional School Unit
21 announced that Larry
C. Price, a Pulitzer and
Emmy award-winning
documentary photographer will visit Kennebunk
High School to work with
students April 11-12.
Price and team at PBS
NewsHour received a 2015
Emmy for the category of
outstanding investigative
journalism in a regularly
scheduled newscast for
a broadcast segment. He
reported and photographed
on the dangers of underwater gold mining in the
Philippines with support
from the Pulitzer Center.
Price has also won a 1981
Pulitzer Prize for spot
news photography for his
coverage of the 1980 coup
in Liberia as well as the
1985 Pulitzer Prize for
feature photography for
a portfolio documenting
civil wars in Angola and El
Salvador.
Price will offer a 90-minute presentation and Q
and A to the full freshmen
and sophomore classes. In
addition, he will meet with
students taking environmental science classes to
discuss his latest work,
which showcases global
pollution.
The classes study the
diverse social and environmental impacts of
pollution locally, nationally
and globally, including how
environmental injustice
creates a feedback loop
of pollution and poverty.
He will also work with
International Baccalaureate fine art students and
photography club students
who are studying how photography not only informs
us about but also helps us
understand the world.
Price will be hold a free
evening presentation with
a question and answer session 6 p.m. April 12, 2016
at the Kennebunk High
School auditorium.
Technology
Tuesdays

Beginning March 22
and continuing the fourth
Tuesday of every month,
Technology Tuesdays,
Kennebunk Free Library
offers introductory computer classes. A different topic
will be covered each session with Internet basics in
March and email basics on
April 26.
The class will teach the
lingo and walk through the
basics. Learn how to access
and search the Internet
and leave with some infor-
mation on Internet safety.
During an email session,
learn how to set up an
account.
Bring laptops or devices and have questions
ready. A limited number of
library computers will be
available. For more information or to register, call
985-2173. The instruction
is open to all patrons.
Student art
exhibited at
Brick Store
All across America, the
month of March is celebrated as Youth Art Month,
a month of promoting
art and art education
throughout our schools
and communities at large.
Thousands of American
schools participate in observing Youth Art Month,
often with the involvement
of local art museums and
civic organizations.
The Brick Store Museum
in Kennebunk will feature a selection of student
artwork in celebration of
Youth Art Month titled
“Panorama: Artwork from
KHS Visual Art Students.”
The show runs through
Saturday, April 9 and features a selection of artwork
from Kennebunk High
School students in grades 9
through 12.
The public is invited to
attend the closing reception to celebrate the work
of these fine young artists
on Thursday, April 7 from
4 to 6 p.m. RSVP to info@
brickstoremuseum.org.
Contradances
raise funds for
Iceland trip
Every year at The New
School, students spend
three weeks traveling to
other countries and areas
in the U.S. to study different cultures and language.
Faculty create areas of
interdisciplinary study for
students before and during
the Intensives. Through
TNS Intensives, students
gain real world experience,
self-awareness, a spirit of
adventure and memories
that stay with them for a
lifetime.
Early in the school year
students brainstorm the
kinds of adventures and
learning experiences they
would like to have. They
work with teachers to
research the possibilities
and figure out the logistics.
They hold fundraising
events to help cover the
expenses.
A group of students who
are traveling to Iceland
this year have been
holding a series of contradances in Kennebunk
and Kennebunkport. They
have raised much needed
money and have had so
much fun with the community that comes to the
dances, they have decided
to hold one more. All ages
are welcome. The emphasis
is on the fun of dancing
to live music in a friendly
community atmosphere. A
caller teaches each dance
before it is actually done
to the music. This gives
everyone an idea of what
to expect when the music
starts.
Because the pattern
of figures in each contra
dance is repeated often,
they are easy to learn.
The next dance will be at
the Kennebunk Town Hall
on Friday, April 1 from 7
to 10 p.m. There will be
live music and the dances
will be called by Bill Olson,
well known Maine caller.
For more information or
tickets, call 985-3745.
Speers Gallery
to host Beyond
Tots art
An exhibition of artwork
by preschool-age children
from the Kennebunk Recreation Department’s Beyond Tots Adventure Club
will be on display at the
Kennebunk Free Library
in the Speers Gallery from
April 4-30.
The exhibit is in recognition of The Week of the
Young Child, an annual
celebration sponsored by
the National Association
for the Education of Young
Children. The purpose
of the Week of the Young
Child is to focus public
attention on the needs of
young children and their
families and to recognize
the early childhood programs and services that
meet those needs.
The 2016 Week of the
Young Child is April 1016. This year’s theme is
“Celebrating Our Youngest
Learners.”
The Beyond Tots Adventure Club artwork is based
on some of their favorite
authors and illustrators
from the Kennebunk Free
Library’s collection. They
experimented with different mediums and techniques to create fun and
visually interesting pieces.

Mannix to discuss
book at library
Local weatherman Kevin Mannix and
his wife Linda Rota will discuss their
autobiography “Weathering Shame” at
Kennebunk Free Library on Monday, April
25 at 6 p.m.
Join Kevin and Linda, a social worker, as
they share their life experiences, lessons,
struggles and feelings of shame and the
stigma that results from growing up
exposed to alcoholism, severe depression
and suicide.
In “Weathering Shame,” the authors’
goal is for readers to benefit from their
struggles, raise awareness and to be
inspired and encouraged by their personal
stories to embark on their own journey of
self-discovery, recovery or awareness.
A book signing will take place after the
presentation. Books will be available for
purchase.
The program is free and wheelchair
accessible. For more information, call 9852173.
Genealogy Group
will host author
Join Deborah M. Child for an illustrated
lecture about engraver and dye-sinker
Richard Brunton 10 a.m. Saturday, April 2
at Kennebunk Free Library.
Brunton first arrived in Boston Harbor
with the British army in 1774 and fought
in many of the key battles of the American Revolution including the Battle of
Newport. When he deserted in 1779, he
initially tried to make an honest living
at his craft first in Boston, and then in
Providence, before taking to the road
and resorting to counterfeiting coin and
paper currency to secure a livelihood. For
this he was incarcerated on at least three
occasions.
“My book, ‘Soldier, Engraver, Forger –
Richard Brunton’s Life on the Fringe in
America’s New Republic’ (New England
Historical Society, 2015) will introduce
many previously unknown works by
his hand and will provide an authentic
glimpse into life on the fringe in America’s
new Republic,” Child said.
Following her lecture, copies of the book
will be available for purchase.
Child is an author, lecturer and independent curator. A graduate of the Master
of Arts Program at Queen’s University,
Ontario, Canada, she is the author of
the ‘Sketchbooks of John Samuel Blunt’
(Portsmouth Athenaeum, 2007) and a
regular contributor to Antiques and Fine
Art. Samples of her publications may be
viewed on www.deborahmchild.com.
The Genealogy Group is open to the
public and meets nine times a year.
The event is free to the public and is
wheelchair accessible. For more information, call 985-2173.

Budget
cent).
According to Town Manager Barry
Tibbetts, he and the town’s financial
director, Joel Downs, have penciled
in a 3.2 increase in revenues, to $4.1
million. This includes the expectation
of an extra $75,000 in excise taxes (to
$1.96 million), as well as an additional
$25,000 in beach parking permits sold
to non-residents.
Downs said state revenue sharing,
the town’s share of the state sales tax,
is pegged at $375,000, while Kennebunk can count on state reimbursements of $150,000 from the homestead
tax exemption program and $200,000
on business equipment taxes.
With all that revenue, it may seem
counter-intuitive that the year-to-year
increase in the town’s net budget is
larger than the jump in gross spending. However, the increase is due to
the addition of $435,000 to the budget – money that, if voters approve a
separate warrant article, will be used
to eliminate the town’s unpopular payas-you-throw (PAYT) model of trash
collection.
That program, in place for more than
a decade, requires residents to purchase special bags for curbside collection of their household garbage. Instead, selectmen, who initially voted
5-2 to end the program last month, before immediately reversing themselves
and deciding to send the question to
voters, are asking residents if they’d
rather just pay for the trash pickup as
a municipal service via their property
taxes.
Tibbetts said the $435,000 figure includes roughly $289,000 to have Pine
Tree Waste collect residential trash
while the rest is made of “tipping fees”
the town pays each time a trailer full of
refuse is hauled from the transfer station on Sea Road.
If approved at the town meeting budget referendum in June, the trash
change will also result in a warrant article Kennebunk voters have seen only
once since 2005, when the state Legislature began requiring approval for a
municipal budget to outpace the annual
growth in local incomes and total townwide property values.
If the PAYT program is eliminated, the
move into the budget of $435,000 now
mostly covered by bag fees – mostly,
because PAYT has run a deficit in all
but one year of its existence, including
$87,000 this time out – will put the
town’s FY 2017 budget $247,230 over
the so-called LD1 spending cap.
“We’ve always been really careful
about even coming close to that tax levy
limit,” Tibbetts said.
“If the town doesn’t vote to increase the
limit, we’ll have to find the difference in
some other manner,” Downs said.
Also ringing in on the expense side of
the ledger, all town employees in Kennebunk will enjoy average wage increases
of 1.5 percent. Meanwhile, the bottom
line on manpower will grow 3.8 percent
with the hiring of an info-tech assistant,
a public services truck driver and two
new firefighters, plus part-time and
summer help in both the highway and
fire departments.
Tibbetts said the IT person is needed
because, at present, the town has just
one person to manage a network of 109
personal computers and nine servers, in
addition to mobile units used by the fire
and police departments.
“We’ve found that when we’ve tried
to outsource some of that we still don’t
have the manpower to maintain everything in the manner we want,” Tibbetts
said.
Given the increases to both school and
town budgets in Kennebunk, the tax
rate is pegged to increase 95 cents, from
$15.30 to $16.25 per $1,000 of assessed
property value. This assumes the school
and county assessments come in as currently proposed.
The municipal share of the new mil
rate is slated to jump 43 cents, from
$3.52 to $3.95 per $1,000 of assessed
value – an increase of 12.22 percent.
The bottom line of these numbers is
that, as currently proposed by both
the school district and the town, the
annual property tax bill on the median single-family home in Kennebunk,
assessed at $250,000, will ring in at
$4,063. That’s a $238 (6.2 percent) increase over the current tax bill of $3,825
on that same home.
Falling outside of spending covered
by the tax rate is $954,000 to be taken
from the town’s general fund. Of that,
$452,000 will be used to fund capital
projects and vehicle purchases, $340,000
will go into a reserve account to cover current and future bond payments,
helping to smooth the hit of initial payments, while $87,000 will be plugged in
for the PAYT deficit.
In the budget, but mostly affecting tax
rates in future years, will be a $2.57
million bond voters will be asked to approve.
Of that, $1.5 million will be spent on
paving projects and road repairs, while
$500,000 will go toward bridge repairs
and roadside drainage work. That bond
will be for 10 years, at an expected 3.25
percent interest rate, meaning annual
payments of about $235,000.
The remainder of the bond – $570,000
– will be used to buy a new ambulance,
a new dump truck, two buses for the
recreation department and a backup
system for the town’s computer network. The $570,000 will be bonded for
five years, at the same 3.25 percent
interest rate, equating to annual payments of about $125,000.
A second public hearing on the budget will be held at the May 24 selectmen’s meeting. That will be for informational purposes only, however, as
the budget was set by the lack of edits
at the March 22 session. That fact that
no changes can be made based on any
public comment May 24 is underscored
by the fact that absentee ballots will
already be in circulation, having been
made available starting May 16.
The annual town meeting referendum on the municipal portion of the
budget will be held on June 14.

future point,” Chairman Kevin Donovan said. “And I don’t want to hear bellyaching from businesses about this affecting the bottom line. The bottom line
is you’re either for this earth or you’re
not. I don’t put a dollar on that. Period.”
Although a staunch environmentalist
and the one who shepherded the subcommittee drive to a full ban, Selectman Shiloh Schulte said a Styrofoam
ban may be a battle best left to another
day.
“Something that affects more businesses and has more implications
should I think be a separate ordinance,”
he said.
Meanwhile, Selectman Ed Karytko,
noting that he was speaking on behalf
of concerned constituents, played devil’s advocate.
“I think we place an undo burden on
some of these businesses, because paper bags are supposedly more expensive. And then you hear from different
places that, well, plastic bags really
aren’t as harmful [to the environment]
as paper. So, I’m struggling with this. I
really am.
“And it’s not a single use bag. You have
no idea how much use I get out of these
bags,” he said.
Karytko also questioned what authority selectmen have to tell businesses
how to run their operations. But that is
precisely why the issue is going to voters, Tibbetts said.
“If the town adopts an ordinance, then
the board has the ability to enforce that
ordinance, so that’s how that authority
comes about,” Tibbetts said.
Still, Schulte held out the promise of
future amendments in the form of exemptions from having to comply with
the ban. That possibility was raised after Selectman Christopher Cluff noted
that it might be hard to gain support
from shops in Lower Village if their
neighbors across the Lanigan Bridge
in Kennebunkport’s Dock Square are
freely bagging up sales in plastic bags.
Tourists already have trouble distinguishing Dock Square and Lower Village as being in two separate towns,
and so a bag ban on one side of the river
might cause confusion, and consternation.
But Donovan seemed little impressed
by that concern. He’d learned quickly
when in the Army to bring his own bags
to the PX, he said, suggesting tourists
could do the same, if not content with
paper bags, or the kind of tote sold and
many shops in the area. Few tourists,
he surmised, would be discouraged by
the lack of a plastic bag to protect their
goods as they roam from shop to shop.
“The bottom line is, we are, all of
us, spoiled,” Donovan said. “We are
a throwaway society. This is all stuff
that’s cheap junk. Let’s face it, let’s call
a spade a spade. It’s junk.”

front and will eventually be reimbursed
by DECD. The businesses being helped
are: We Care Drycleaners, Old House
Parts, Garden Street Market, Douglass
Chancellor Meyers & Associates, Fitness Nuthouse, and Home Instead.
But the loans are not entirely without
risk.
“If, in fact, a business were to fumble
illegally, or do something incorrect, the
state could come back on us for that, but
that’s never happened here, and I think
has never happened anywhere in the
state before,” said Kennebunk Economic Development Director Mat Eddy. “We
do monitor them to make sure they do
everything they say they are going to.”
Although the board’s vote to approve
the application was unanimous, not all
selectmen seemed thrilled by the concept.
“I wonder what happened to the good
old days when businesses didn’t need
the government’s help to stay in business,” Selectman Ed Karytko said.
Each of the businesses will use the
grant as follows:
• We Care Drycleaners – Owners Ed
and Chong-Ye Arnold will use a façade
grant to rehab the rear and side cinderblock walls of their Main Street building, while also fixing cracked windows,
repainting and cleaning debris, in hopes
of renting out that portion of the site to
another business, which Eddy said “are
desperately needed in this part of Main
Street.
• Old House Parts – As an experienced renovator, Tom Joyal will use a
façade grant to breath new life into the
old railroad freight house on Trackside
Drive. “This [building] is presently a
very poor image for both Kennebunk
and the Downeaster to portray to those
disembarking from the train,” Eddy
said.
• Garden Street Market – The $25,000
CDBG grant will be part of a $2.3 million project by three investors to turn
the shuttered market into a 10-lane
bowling alley, with a restaurant and
stage for entertainment. “The facility
will become an important four-season
destination serving the local population
and tourists,” Eddy said.
• Douglass Chancellor Meyers & Associates – An Internet-based collection
agency moving its headquarters from
St. Louis to Kennebunk, the company
will use its CDBG grant to buy office
equipment. The owners are currently
scouting for a vacant second-story space
downtown and have pledged to create
three to four jobs to aid those currently struggling with low-to-moderate incomes.
• Fitness Nuthouse – Although one
new job might be created with financing for this physical training facility,
the owner is actually considered to be of
low-to-moderate income, Eddy said. “The
$25,000, plus private equity investment
to upgrade existing equipment, will permit this business to remain open in its
current location,” Eddy said.
• Home Instead – A firm that helps
senior citizens remain in their homes
will get a $25,000 matching grant that,
ironically, will allow it to make façade
improvements including Americans
with Disabilities Act upgrades needed
to allow seniors to visit its office. “This is
critical in that the primary service provided by the company is to seniors and
their families,” Eddy said. “They are one
of several such assistance businesses in
Kennebunk, in what is one of our fastest
growing sectors and a major community
development focus or the town.”

Kathleen Baum
Kathleen Louise Baum, 86, of Kennebunk, died peacefully Tuesday afternoon, March 22, 2016 at Southern Maine
Healthcare in Biddeford, surrounded by her loving family.
Kathleen fought a courageous battle with inclusion body
myositis for more than two decades and is now at peace with
her heavenly Father.
She was born on Western Avenue in
Kennebunk on Dec. 31, 1929, a daughter
of John Lester and Viola Augusta (Avery)
Jackson. A lifelong resident of Kennebunk Lower Village, she graduated from
Kennebunk High School, class of 1948.
In June 1951, she married her high
school sweetheart and love of her life,
Herbert C. Baum, Jr., sharing 53 years of
marriage prior to his death in 2004.
As a young woman, Kathleen was
employed as a switchboard operator at
the New England Telephone Company
switching office, located over Weinstein’s
Deli in Dock Square for a few years. When she and Herb
were married and began to raise their family, she chose to
be a stay at home mom.
Kathleen was a longtime member of Kennebunk Baptist
Church, and a 60-plus years member of the Madonna Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, the Good Cheer Club and of
the Lower Village Mother’s Club. Whenever there was a
launching at Baum’s Boat Yard, she was charged with decorating the champagne bottle to be broken across the bow of
the vessel. She loved attending family functions, and was a
notorious practical jokester. At 70, she surprised everyone
by going parasailing! She enjoyed doing puzzles of any kind,
was an avid reader, loved to watch movies and play games
on her Kindle, and was an accomplished artist, painting in
P
different mediums, but mostly acrylics. As her disease progressed, she never gave up her painting and simply devised
different ways to adapt.
Kathleen is predeceased by her husband, Herbert C. Baum,
Jr.; her siblings, Harley Jackson, Kenneth Jackson, Gordon
Jackson and Dorothy (Jackson) Hutchins.
Survivors include her son, Herbert C. Baum III and
wife Lynn of Kennebunk; three daughters, Ellen Baum
of Farmingdale, Greer Cressey and husband Tom of Kennebunk, Cynthia L. Burns and husband Brian of Kennebunkport; seven grandchildren, Brian Beauchemin and
significant other Crystal Lawrence of Kennebunk, Steven
Beauchemin and wife Danielle of Monson, Katrina Wade
and husband Jim of Kennebunk, Jillian Cressey and significant other Miles Vaughn of Biddeford, Michael Burns of
Munich, Germany, Timothy Burns of Newport, Alyson Trempe and husband Gary of Biddeford; great grandchildren Lily,
Blake, Wesley, Harrison, and much anticipated Samuel,
due in June; several nieces, nephews and grand-nieces and
nephews; cousins Olive Avery of Florida and Gloria Sundin
of Springvale; lifelong friends Pixie, Fran, Florence, Bev,
Belle and Pudge and Dick, and a wide circle of friends.
The family would like to give special thanks to her caregiver Tina Burns, the staff at Seal Rock, and the ICU staff
at Southern Maine Healthcare, especially Kim, for their
professional and loving care given to Kathleen.
Visiting hours were Friday, March 25, 2016 at Bibber
Memorial Chapel, Kennebunk, with an Eastern Star Service. A funeral service was held at the funeral home on
Saturday, March 26, 2016 with Pastor James King officiating. Burial in Evergreen Cemetery, Kennebunk. In lieu
of flowers, memorial donations in her name can be made
to: Kennebunk Baptist Church, Historical Preservation
Fund, P.O. Box 396, Kennebunk, ME 04043. To share a

John B. Singleton, 85, of Kennebunk, died peacefully
among family members at the Tufts Medical Center in

physics in 1954 from the University of Rhode Island with
additional graduate work completed

Married to Marie A. Sullivan in
1952, for 63 years, he is survived by
his wife, six children, Benjamin Singleton, David Singleton, Pat Demme,

Letters to the Editor
The environment around us has been degraded substantially by the impact of civilization and our way of
life. Gone are many species and habitats. Groundfisheries in the Gulf of Maine have been decimated. We all
know this. I have fished the Mousam many times from
Sanford to the sea and have caught nothing above the
dams except pond dwelling fish such as pickerel, bass,
blue gills, perch, and even black crappie (an invasive
species in Maine).
I understand how people have grown accustomed to
this dammed up river but it could be something much
more beautiful and productive.
A recent letter writer to the Post told a story lamenting
the possible loss of the booming roar of water flowing
over the dam at Route 1. I would not miss that sound
because I know it would be replaced by the roar of rapids, the music of flowing water and the thrill of seeing
returning fish swimming against the flow.

The relicensing of these dams and the economics in favor of dam removal has given us a golden opportunity to
do something really amazing and beneficial for our environment. We have the chance to restore a large section
of an important river habitat and to reconnect it to the
Gulf of Maine. It’s a chance to do something positive for
the environment and for generations to come.
