The state has approved a school-construction project to replace the existing C. A.
Snow Elementary School in Fryeburg and to eliminate the district’s need for portable
classrooms. The Molly Ockett Campus has been approved as the site and what
must be decided now is the scope of the project.
The first public meeting to discuss the building plans and options will held August 15
in the Molly Ockett Middle School gym at 7:00 pm. We will share what information
and plans we have and will look forward to feedback from you, the citizens.
Fryeburg’s first school house in 1894
We’ve come a long way baby!
This meeting will be followed by a series of local public meetings to assure that
every citizen in each town in the district has the chance to learn about the project; to
ask questions and to continue to give us feedback. Once this process has been accomplished and your opinions has been
shared with the school board they will make the final decision on which school concept will be chosen and what that means
in terms of the impact upon the existing elementary schools.
Our goal is to inform you and help you understand the new school concept so there will be a yes vote on the referendum in
December. The opportunity to build a new school will positively impact education in our district for years to come. It will be
more than twenty years before the state will fund us for another school. So our decision on this new concept must be the
right one and we need your help in making that decision.
This new school will belong to every citizen in this district. It’s important you attend the meeting, learn what is being planned
and share your views with us. We look forward to seeing you at our initial meeting, August 15, 7 pm at Molly Ockett Middle
School in Fryeburg.

Why Community Health Centers?
Siena Kaplan, Administrative Assistant, White Mountain Community Health Center
National Health Center Week is August 11th-17th this year. Community health centers are
non-profit, community-directed health care providers. You might choose to go to a
community health center instead of a more traditional provider for a number of reasons:
• They’re open to everyone – regardless of whether you have insurance, or are on
Medicaid, or aren’t insured. Uninsured and underinsured patients can pay through a
sliding fee scale.
• In addition to primary care, they usually have an array of services under one roof.
Besides being more convenient, this leads to more complete and coordinated care.
WMCHC, for example, has children’s dental services, mental health counseling, prenatal
care, nutrition counseling, a teen walk-in clinic, a food pantry, and more.
Saco River Recreational Council Summer Update by Michelle Broyer
Environmental Education Director - .Caretaker of Swans Falls Campground and facility.
Lots of exciting things happening on the river and with the Saco River Recreational
Council this season. We have a great group of River Runners who help us remove trash
left behind on the river over the weekends. We got a lot of support and feed back on this
cleanup. The volunteers removed 7 tires from the river, a propane tank, tons of flip flops
and shoes, glasses, a cell phone, part of a picnic table and more. 32 bags of cans and
trash. We had 47 volunteers for this cleanup and covered 26.1 miles of river!! Redstone
to Westons, Swans Falls to Brownfield. Thank you to Saco Bound, Saco River Canoe
and Kayak, Saco Valley Canoe, Woodland Acres Canoe and Campground, for the
canoes and your time, Fiddlehead for your support and the truck, Poland Spring,
Hannaford, Ben and Jerry's, Jockey Cap, and Thriftway for your donations for the cookout. Please always carry out what you bring in and practice Leave No Trace. The river
reports are great and the river is looking very good.
We are happy to announce that we have gotten a couple of exciting grants which are
helping in our efforts to protect the Saco River Valley and our environment as a whole.
Nestle Waters have sponsored our summer SRRC Outdoor Education Intern. They will
be working here on the Upper Saco River to talk with our visitors at Canal landing on
Friday and Saturday mornings, helping with trip planning assistance, making sure everyone has what they need including clean boats, no out of state firewood, fire permits for
the river, PFD’s and trash bags! In the afternoons we go out on the river talking to people and handing out trash bags. This has been a huge success already and our beaches
and environment and the SRRC are very thankful for that.
The SRRC Environmental Education program also received a grant from River Valley
Healthy Communities to host a summer program at Swans Falls Campground and
Outdoor Educational Facility. We hosted twenty 6th grade Pequawket Kids Association
students and forty 1-5 grade students throughout July. We have been having a great
time already learning about Leave No Trace and protecting our Environment, they
learned about the Asian Longhorned Beetle and why it is so important to not move firewood for the protection of our trees and enjoyed doing nature crafts.
PKA students 1-5 are preparing for a trip to Mt Washington at the end of the season and
the 6th grade students are preparing for a trip on the Saco and an overnight at Swans
Falls. We are so excited to be able to offer this program for our local youth. Stay tuned
for updates and become our friend on Facebook to keep up with the happenings on the
Saco River. Check out our website at sacorivercouncil.org to learn more about the
Saco River Recreational Council and how you can help.

Donations are greatly appreciated towards these efforts. We are a nonprofit organization
whose mission is to protect the Saco River and our environment. We do this through our
education, River Runner’s program and law enforcement cooperation. We appreciate all
of our sponsors and partners. Together we really are making a difference!
The Rotary Club of the Fryeburg Area will be strengthening their awareness by
joining together with Harvest Hills Animal Shelter to collaborate efforts presenting a first
class Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament to coincide with the Harvest Hills Annual Golf
Tournament. This “Open” Mixed Doubles Tennis event will take place along with the
annual golf tournament on Saturday, September 14, 2013 (rain date Sept. 15th).
Introducing a classic tennis tournament with the Harvest Hills Annual Golf Tournament
for the same fundraising cause makes good sense this allows both the golf and tennis
communities to join together and express their appreciation for the wonderful job that
the Harvest Hills Animal Shelter is doing. The Mixed Doubles Tennis will be limited to
12 teams and will be played on 3-courts at the Bridgton Highlands Country Club, this
will allow for half of the entry field to be on court at the same time. The format will be a
double elimination therefore all teams will be guaranteed two matches, BBQ and
Goodie Bags are included in the $20/person entry fee.

As most of you know, the news from Augusta is not
good, but it could have been a whole lot worse if the
Appropriations Committee had not worked together day
and night, in a spirit of compromise, to over ride the
governor's Veto. Thank God, we succeeded in getting
the Budget through the House although it was far from
what we had hoped to accomplish.

The governor vetoed an incredible 83 Bills undoing a lot of good work that was done
on both sides of the aisle. The Legislature succeeded in over riding only three of the
eighty three. We had larger vote counts in favor, but to over ride any Veto Bill takes
a two-thirds vote and unfortunately some Representatives changed their vote the last
minute in order to be in line with the governor...not a pretty picture. Those were
difficult days as well as disappointment with our Republican members and the
serious losses to the neediest of Maine's citizens.
Over the last 5 years that I have served as your state representative, I have touted
the Maine Residents Property Tax and Rent Refund or “Circuitbreaker” Program.
Unfortunately, the recently enacted state budget repealed the Circuitbreaker Program
and replaced it with a refundable Property Tax Fairness Credit that can be claimed on
the Maine Individual Income Tax Form beginning with the filing of 2013 income taxes.
The bad news is that there is a gap between programs meaning that there will be no
refunds offered on local property taxes paid for the calendar year 2012. It was a
compromise we had to make, as the governor had proposed a complete elimination
of the program for all but seniors. The good news is that the new process will be
more simple and accessible to applicants. Any Maine residents with incomes up to
$40,000 per year are eligible for a refund of up to $300 for residents up to 69 years
of age and $400 for residents aged 70 or older. You will simply need to check a box
on your income tax form to apply.

A resident with income of $40,000 or less who paid property tax on a home in Maine
during the tax year that was more than 10 percent of Maine adjusted gross income or
paid rent to live in a home or apartment in Maine during the tax year that was more
than 40 percent of Maine adjusted gross income is eligible for the credit. For some,
this change means that they will be getting money a lot later than usual - and it will
be a lot less. The compromise was tough to swallow, but the alternative was worse.
Through bipartisan cooperation, we were able to avert not only a state shutdown, but
also turn back some of the governor’s more damaging proposals such as the total
elimination of revenue sharing, which surely would have raised most people’s property taxes. In the end, I am hopeful that we will be able to grow the program in the
future and once again offer more substantial refunds as the economy rebounds.

On another note let me say congratulations to Fryeburg on their 250th Birthday
celebration. I am excited to see the pride and togetherness this town is showing as
they pull together an amazing day of celebration on August 24th starting at the fire
station with the Lee & Joan Day Car Show at 9AM, than up to the Good Beer Store
for a fun Allagash Brewfest and BBQ at noon, and on to the fairgrounds for a tailgate
party with games, arts, craft, food, music, exhibits, fireworks, dunk tank, and so much
fun stuff. What a great job done by the Fryeburg Business Association on behalf of
their community. I look forward to meeting many of you and being available to not
only talk to you about your concerns and needs in Augusta but especially to join in
the celebration of your wonderful town!
• They provide high quality care – studies have found that the quality of care at health
centers is equal or greater than the quality of care provided elsewhere.
Community health centers benefit everyone, not just their patients. By ensuring that
everyone can access affordable preventive care, they make communities healthier and
reduce the cost of medical care overall.
• Uninsured people who live close to a health center are less likely to have an unmet
medical need, visit the emergency room, or have a hospital stay, compared with other
uninsured. Communities served by health centers have infant mortality rates about 10
percent lower than comparable communities, due to better access to prenatal care.
• Health centers are some of the most cost-effective providers. Two recent reports found
that total patient care costs in health centers are 24-50 percent lower than those served
in other settings, producing about $24 billion in annual health system savings.
• In 2009, health centers generated about $20 billion in economic activity for U.S.
communities, and produced 189,000 jobs.
WMCHC is located in Conway, and is always accepting new patients. Other health
centers near Fryeburg are Sacoppee Valley Health Center, Coos County Family Health
Services, Poland Community Health Center, and Ammonoosuc Community Health
Services, whose main office is in Littleton.
We are very grateful to all of the contributions we receive from community members,
businesses, foundations, and towns in the area we serve, which allow us to continue to
bring these benefits to Mt. Washington Valley. Statistics and studies referenced are from
fact sheets found at www.healthcenterweek.com
Fryeburg New Church Happenings
A lot is happening at the FNC this summer and beyond. Rev. Sage Currie held her last
service on June 16th and left Fryeburg a couple of days later. Sage and Rev. Ted Cole
were married on July 19st and will be making their new home in Anchorage Alaska.
We are pleased to announce that we have hired a new Minister who will start on
September 8th. Rev. Allison Lang-Olsen, her husband Adam and their two children
(ages 5 and 3) will move into the Elm Street Parsonage in late August – just in time for
their eldest to start kindergarten! Rev. Allison has been a Minister in Pretty Prairie,
Kansas for the past few years. It will be a big move for their family. Rev. Allison is
looking forward to meeting and joining our community. She is also looking forward to
being able to walk to work! Adam grew up in northern Michigan. He is looking forward
to starting his new job and hopes for good snow this winter since he is an avid skier.
Our Church recently started a Capital Campaign to raise $50,000.00 to cover much
needed projects to maintain our Church and our Parsonage. As we reflect on our 133
years of service to Fryeburg and the surrounding communities, we continue to ask our
friends and neighbors to help us. Fundraising activities will continue in the weeks and
months ahead.
The second annual FNC Community Yard Sale will be held at the Church on August 10
from 8AM to 3PM. This will include many bargains from furniture, children's items,
kitchen gadgets, back to school clothing, and even a few antiques. There will also be
baked goods and drinks for sale to enjoy as you peruse the sale items. We will feature
an expanded sale this year by offer anyone interested a 10’ X 10’ spot in our parking lot
(across from the Church between Oxford and Smith Streets) for a $10.00 rental fee.
Mark your calendar, come join the fun, and take advantage of a large community sale to
clear out some of those unneeded treasures in your attic, basement, or barn. If you are
interested in a space please contact Jennifer Richardson at 935-4509.
The FNC will also join in the Fryeburg 250th Birthday Celebration at the Fairgrounds on
August 24th. We will be offering a delicious array of baked goods for sale as well as an
exciting silent auction with both small and large items for the entire family.
We look forward to meeting up with friends old and new during this summer and fall!

FALSE DILEMMA
In a past article, I wrote about the attitude of brinkmanship in
Augusta. This was centered on the adjournment date and
paying the hospitals the money owed them. These two issues
were resolved but the going for broke attitude was not.
Starting sometime in February; a false dilemma was taking
shape concerning the State’s budget and where it was headed.
The fallacy was set up by offering a limited number of choices
concerning the resolution of the budget, and in the end the
debate centered around two options; raise taxes or shut down
Senator Jim Hamper the government. I was hearing murmurings of this before the
District 13
Appropriations Committee began their work on the biennial
[email protected] budget; this was the talk while the Committee was still resolving
supplemental budget issues for the last budget cycle. Ultimately
the House and the Senate approved the budget, the Governor vetoed, and then both
Chambers had the opportunity to discuss its merits again.
Enter the false dilemma in full force. Listening to the floor debate on both ends of the
hallway, the argument was increase revenue, i.e. raise taxes or shut down the government. No third option was considered. No talk of looking for more ways to cut spending,
just tax or shut down.
Now I have a little different take on the budget as we searched ways to fill a several
million dollar “hole”. Something that received no press at all was the increase in spending by DHHS to cover the previous Medicaid expansion. What was in the original budget and what DHHS expected to spend was close to three hundred million dollars.
DHHS needed and additional three hundred million to cover what they are obligated to
cover in medical expenses. What was budgeted and what the Department expected to
spend were off by that much. In my opinion; there is the hole, DHHS spending.
Welfare spending in Maine, as a percentage of overall state spending, is ranked second in the nation. We are second also in food stamp recipients, third in households on
TANF (Temporary Aide for Needy Families) and in Medicaid (MaineCare) enrollment.
The MaineCare program has almost doubled in the last fifteen years and DHHS
accounts for nearly half of the state budget. More growth in this area means that there
is less funding available for the basics of government; law enforcement, roads and disaster relief, to name a few.
And so we came down to the choice of taxation or cease the functions of government,
meanwhile one department cannibalizes almost half the budget. We could have looked
for more ways to rein in spending.
I’m looking forward to August 24th at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds as we all celebrate the
oldest town in Oxford County on its 250th Birthday. Congratulations Fryeburg!

Shop Mystery book, “Sweet Tea Revenge”, which is #14 in the series. Anyone who has
read books in this series will want to read this one. If you haven't read the series and like
mysteries, these books are worth a try, with recipes and tea time tips in each book.
Jeff Shaara has written another historical fiction book. This time about the Battle of
Shiloh entitled “A Blaze of Glory”. “Spring 1862. The Confederate Army in the West
teeters on the brink of collapse. General Albert Sidney Johnston is forced to abandon the
critical city of Nashville and rally his troops in defense of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad. Hot on Johnston's trail are two of the Union's best generals: Ulysses Grant and
Don Carlos Buell. If their combined forces can crush Johnston's army and capture the
railroad, the war in the West likely will be over. There's just one problem: Johnston
knows of the Union plans and is poised to launch an audacious surprise attack on
Grant's encampment – a small settlement in southwestern Tennessee anchored by a
humble church named Shiloh.”
And last for Jimmy Buffett fans a new novel by him called “Swine Not?” “The
Storyteller's note: Question: What on earth am I doing writing a book about a pig living
secretly with a working-mother chef, her two children, and a cat in a four-star hotel in
New York – instead of telling a tale about islands, ships and planes?
Answer: Swine Not? - In all my previous fiction, the stories were rooted in this nomad
life I live. I converted my real-life experiences into fictional fun and made up a few more
tales myself – always keeping a bit of mystery as to what was based on reality and what
had sprung from my imagination. Faulkner said he was a liar by profession, and he
made good money at it. And every now and then, if you are lucky enough, you don't
have to go looking for the story. It comes to you. As a fiction writer, sometimes you
simply can't top the facts; you use them as a roux to make a bigger pot of literary
gumbo.”
Our Writer's Group has decided to take the summer off and will start up again in
September. Our Book Discussion Group still meets the second Wednesday of each
month at 10:00 am. August's book is “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. Storytime continues
Tuesdays at 10:30 am. Our hours are Mon-Thur from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday
9:00 am to noon. Hope to see you soon here at the Library!
