AUGUSTA – The Piscataquis
County winning streak for acquiring Community Development
Block Grant funds continues.
The latest round of approved
funding includes $50,000 MicroEnterprise Assistance grants for
Maine Mountain Soap and Candle and Porter’s Garage, both of
Greenville; and Martin Cleaning
Service of Sangerville, according
to a press release from the Maine
Department of Economic Development.
The applications were submitted through the Piscataquis
County Economic Development
Council.
Maine Mountain Soap and
Candle will use the money to
replace a computer, add a pointof-sale system for tracking inventory and new signage while Porter’s Garage will use the grant to
replace three bay doors, windows
and retrofit office area for customer service.
“Maine Mountain Soap and
Candle and Porter’s Garage are
both family-owned and operated
small businesses in Greenville
which have capital needs which
are not likely to be met without these forgivable loans,” said
Town Manager John Simko. “The
town of Greenville is glad to be
in a position to assist them. We
wouldn’t have been able to do
so without the help of the Piscataquis County Economic Development Council.”
Sangerville Town Manager Ken
Woodbury said he was “thrilled
that Sangerville was able to
help a growing family business
in town expand its operations.
Martin Cleaning Services works
mainly in the evening hours so
that supermarkets, retail stores
and professional offices can be
clean and ready to greet their
customers in the morning.”
Woodbury said the grant will
allow Martin Cleaning Services
“to expand its operations to handle larger gross square footages
that require battery-operated
and larger cleaning equipment.
The grant not only provides financing for these larger polishers
and scrubbers but will allow the
purchase of a van to transport
the equipment and personnel to
the job sites.”
Within the last few years, Ka-
tahdin Cookie Works, Jamison’s
Store, Leisure Life Resort and
Northwoods Gourmet Girl in
Greenville have also been awarded Micro-Enterprise Grants to
improve their facilities or purchase new equipment.
A grant also helped Dove Tail
Bat Company in Shirley construct a new building and buy additional equipment last year.
The local firm supplies bats for
several major and minor league
baseball teams and professional
leagues in Mexico, Puerto Rico
and Japan.
Several members of the Kansas
City Royals, winners of the 2015
World Series, also use Dove Tail
Bats.
The Micro-Enterprise Assistance (MEA) Grant Program provides grant funds to communities
to assist in innovative solutions
to problems faced by micro-enterprise businesses.
Assistance to businesses may
be in the form of grants or loans
at the discretion of the community, including a match from the
benefiting business.

Pickel, Higgins pleased
with Narcan veto override
by Mike Lange
AUGUSTA – The Maine House
and Senate easily overrode the
veto of a bill last week that expands access to the overdose reversal drug naloxone, also known
by its brand name Narcan. The
vote was 132-14 in the House and
29-5 in the Senate.
Milo Police Chief Damien
Pickel recently posted an open
letter to Gov. Paul LePage on his
department’s Facebook page, rejecting the governor’s contention
that Narcan “does not truly save
lives. It merely extends them until the next overdose.”
The police chief pointed out
that Narcan “is not a safety net
for the addict that will perpetuate the use of heroin. When an
addict is overdosing, they lack
the skills to administer it themselves.”

After the Legislature’s vote
Friday, Pickel he was pleased
with the reversal. “I think common sense prevailed,” Pickel said.
“I hope no one ever has to use it
(Narcan), but reality dictates otherwise. I think it was a good day
for Maine.”
Rep. Norman Higgins (D-Dover-Foxcroft) announced his intention to support the override a
few days before the vote. “It is intended as an immediate intervention to save a life,” Higgins wrote.
“Clear and simple, it is hard to do
an intervention when they have
died. I will vote to override the
veto. Common sense will prevail.”
Rep. Paul Stearns (R-Guilford)
and Sen. Paul Davis (R-Sangerville) also voted to override the
governor’s veto while Rep. Ray
Wallace (R-Dexter) voted to sustain it.
The bill (LD 1547) allows pharmacists to immediately dispense
naloxone to eligible individuals.
This will allow family members
or friends to counteract an opiate overdose before emergency
responders arrive.
Approximately 30 states now
permit naloxone to be prescribed
via standing order, which allows
it to be dispensed to any person
who meets criteria specified by
the prescriber.
According to the Maine Attorney General’s office, 272 Mainers
died of drug overdose in 2015, a
31 percent increase over the record 208 overdose deaths recorded the year before.

by Mike Lange
DOVER-FOXCROFT – The
Dover-Foxcroft Area Food Cupboard has been awarded a $5,000
grant from the Bangor Savings
Bank Foundation after compiling
the most votes in the Community
Matters More campaign for the
Aroostook/Northern Penobscot/
Piscataquis region.
Other local recipients receiving
$1,000 awards were Community
Fitness in Guilford, the Greenville Junction Depot Friends and
the Aliza Jean Family Cancer
Foundation.
Chad Poland, pastor of the
Dover-Foxcroft Congregational
Church and president of the food
cupboard, said that the organization’s board of directors will
make a decision soon on how to
use the money. “A special allocation of these funds will require
an amendment to our budget by
the board. It is, after all, unexpected money,” Poland said. “It’s
a nice problem to have.”
The food cupboard reorganized
last year and now serves around
100 families. The Dover-Foxcroft
Congregational
Church
has
served as the food distribution
point on the second and fourth
Thursdays of the month since
May 2015.
Poland said that the board
may decide to “set aside some of

PRYMCA and C.A. Dean plan
new Greenville day care center
by Mike Lange
GREENVILLE – Thanks to a
collaborative effort between C.A.
Dean Memorial Hospital and the
Piscataquis Regional YMCA, a
new day care center will open in
Greenville later this year.
The site hasn’t been finalized
yet; but after four months of
meetings, the planning committee announced Monday that the
project is definitely going forward. “There’s a lot to be done,
but it’s going to happen fast,” said
Bre Graffam, the senior administrative assistant at C.A. Dean.
The center will be licensed for
up to 49 youngsters and could
create up to 15 jobs, according to
the committee.
Finding child care that fits the
needs of working mothers has
been a longstanding problem
in Greenville with only a few licensed providers and rare openings.
C.A. Dean conducted an inhouse survey last year and the
results showed that lack of child
care had an adverse effect on the
workforce with some employees
considering either resigning or
scaling back their hours.
A new survey open to the general public will be getting underway shortly – using social media
– to pinpoint the extent of the
problem.
Rod Willey, the executive director of the PRYMCA, said that he
became aware of the problem last
fall and discussed it with Kelly
Hutchinson, the organization’s
child care director.
He then met with Graffam,
C.A. Dean CEO Geno Murray and
Greenville Town Manager John
Simko to see how his organization could help. “Both our boards
felt that a collaborative effort
was the best approach,” Willey
said. “So the PRYMCA will run
the day-to-day operation. We’ll be
hiring the folks to run it and C.A.
Dean will do the business plan
and provide administrative support,” Willey said.
The hospital and PRYMCA
are looking for start-up funds
through various grants, Willey
added. “We’re both nonprofit organizations, so there are sources
out there,” he said.
The PRYMCA ran swimming
and summer recreation programs
in Greenville many years ago,
but the new day care center will
be the first permanent presence
of the organization in decades.
The community’s original hospital was built by Hollingsworth
and Whitney, a logging company,
in Greenville Junction in 1911
which doubled as a regional
YMCA.
Graffam said that C.A. Dean
and the PRYMCA are also looking into providing adult day care
in the new center eventually. “We
are still doing research on this
but there is a definite need for it,”
she said.
The fees at the new center will
be comparable to private providers, but Willey said that the
PRYMCA’s policy is that “no one
will be turned away. It’s our job
to raise funds to provide scholarships (subsidies) for low-income
families.”
Graffam said that once the new
survey is completed, a follow-up
meeting will be held and more
specific information may be revealed.
Families who don’t have Internet access who would like to participate in the survey can contact
Graffam at 695-5215.

Parkman Mother’s Day Tea May 7
PARKMAN – The Parkman Grange will hold its 16th Annual Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday, May 7
from 10 a.m. until noon.
This year Pam Sukis will be their guest of honor. Musical entertainment will be provided by Bobby
Kimball and Hill Artman.
Sukis is the manager of KC’s Country Store in Parkman and very active in the community, according
to event chairperson Sue Manchester. “She’s a lovely person, and a big reason for the store’s success,”
Manchester said.
There will be lots of door prizes, a 50/50 raffle and plenty of time to visit with friends and family. The
gentlemen of the Grange and the Boy Scouts from Sangerville will be serving tea, sandwiches and sweets
with a choice of beverages.
Admission is $5 and children 5 and under will be admitted free. Reservations are suggested for this
popular event. A community table will be set for last minute guests.
For more information, contact Manchester at 277-3942.

Central Hall landscaping and brick
laying to be completed by early summer
DOVER-FOXCROFT
The Friends of Central Hall
Committee
(FOCH)
have
announced that the time is near
to start the landscaping, laying of
engraved bricks, and the fun part
of putting this grand old building
back together again. Much of the
preliminary construction work of
the interior and exterior has been
completed including abatement,
drywall, roofing, doors and
windows, siding, concrete, and
various types of prep work that
needed to be completed first.
Immediate plans are for finishing
the second floor work including
installation of the elevator,
preparation of the new stage
area, choosing light fixtures,
electrical work, and painting.
The first floor will house an
Adult Day Service Center and
Senior Center. That work will
follow completion of the second
floor Event Center.
The FOCH committee would
like to thank all who have worked
hand in hand with them.
In 2009 the Dover-Foxcroft
Historical Society and a small
group of passionate citizens
pursued a dream of saving the
historical building. FOCH was
charged with raising $25,000
in approximately a month as
a signal to the then current
Board of Selectmen that there
was significant interest from
townspeople and other friends to
keep this building from going the
way of the Blethen House, North
and Pleasant Street Schools as
well as other local historical
structures. Almost $30,000 was
raised in this short timeframe
from approximately 300 generous
friends with a lot of interest
generated in the project.
Several grants have been
secured to assure the major
construction phases could be
accomplished. However, one of
the more nostalgic fundraising
projects has been the sale of
engraved bricks. Approximately
200 engraved bricks have been
sold to date, and will stand as
tributes to family members,
current and former businesses,
organizations, Foxcroft Academy
Alumni,

Classes, events at Central Hall,

are all about to be honored and
presented to our many friends.
The landscaping and brick laying
will be completed together as
the bricks will form patio areas
on either side of the walkway
surrounded by plants and
flowers. Co-Chair of the Buy-ABrick project, Barb Moore, states
that the vision of generations of
people casually strolling amidst
the bricks, smiling, reminiscing,
and telling stories that these
names conjure up constantly
brings tears to her eyes.
It is not too late to purchase
a brick for this first laying
which will occur in mid-June.
There are two sizes – a 4”x8”
for $100.00 or 8”x8” for $200.00.
Logos are also available for an
additional fee. Contact either

Foxcroft Pharmacy celebrates
Let EVERYONE
grand opening with ribbon-cutting
Know
by Mike Lange
Use:
DOVER-FOXCROFT – Foxcroft Pharmacy officially opened its
doors a few weeks ago, but the timing was near-perfect for the ribboncutting ceremony on April 30.
After a few days of unseasonably low temperatures, the skies were
bright and highs in the low 60s for the celebration, attended by an
estimated 100 people.
The Foxcroft Academy band offered musical entertainment while
visitors snacked on goodies provided by Spencer’s Bakery and Will’s
Shop ‘N Save.
“It’s so nice to have another new business become part of the community,” said Denise Buzzelli, executive director of the Piscataquis
Chamber of Commerce. “They add a personal touch with great customer service.”
The new business is at the site of the former Dover-Foxcroft Community Food Bank on West Main Street. Owner and pharmacist Gail
Bergeron’s husband, Donovan, built the new structure using the
framework from the existing building.
During the brief ceremony, congratulatory letters were read from
U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin by Sen. Paul Davis and from U.S. Sen. Angus
King by his regional representative Elizabeth MacTaggart.
Davis also lauded the Bergerons, noting that his parents ran a retail store in Dexter “for about 35 years, so I understand the challenges in front of you. It hasn’t gotten any easier.”
Poliquin’s letter said, in part, that “family-owned businesses like
yours are so important because they provide needed jobs and quality
goods and services for our friends and neighbors.”
Bergeron’s staff also includes pharmacists Shawn Pushor and Megan Gorman and pharmacy technicians Pam Bailey, Jenny Knight
and Kate Nichols.
Rep. Norman Higgins recalled that Pushor was one of his students
at Piscataquis Community High School during his years as principal
and superintendent. “So I want to say thank you on behalf of his parents for hiring him,” he joked.
King’s note praised Bergeron for opening the new business and
wished her “many years of continued success.”

ROBERT F. STUTZMAN
DOVER-FOXCROFT - Robert
“Bobby”
Francis
Stutzman,
husband of Janet, and son of Otto
and Alice Stutzman, passed away
Wednesday, April 20, 2016, at
Tampa General Hospital, Tampa,
Florida,
from
complications
with a myriad of illnesses. He
was born January 29, 1948,
in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. He
attended Sangerville schools
and graduated from Piscataquis
Community High School (his
50th class reunion is this year).
He was a graduate of Eastern
Maine Vocational Institute’s
business program. He then
continued his studies in a pilot
Robert Stutzman
program at Husson College, where
he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS degree in Business.
He worked as the produce manager in the Dover-Foxcroft Red and
White (Hannaford Brothers) for 30 years. He was a past member of
the Sangerville Fire Department, a member of the Dover-Foxcroft
Charter Com-mission, a member of the Dover-Foxcroft Jaycees, an
active Mason, and owner of Adventure Sports of Dover-Foxcroft. He
was an accomplished musician and played with many area bands.
(He was a four-year member of the high school band also). His
proudest accomplishment however was as the original promoter of
the now well-known Stutzman’s Farm Stand, owned and operated by
his brother, Sidney. Bobby had asked his Dad if he could take some
squash to the County Fair to sell. His Dad did not think it would be a
good business endeavor, but he consented. Bobby sold the squash! It
was an effort for a young man - he neededtransportation, he needed
“equipment” and had to lug that squash around. He thought it out
and decided it would be easier to sell squash roadside. He did, and
made money. His Dad saw that, and voila, the farm stand was born with Stutzman’s potatoes being the original headline item! (Now you
know the rest of the story, and furthermore, Bob hated squash!). He
has been an enthusiastic and generous supporter of his grandsons,
“Tino” and “Rico’s” athletic participation over the years, attending
their games and matches, their musical concerts, and transporting
them to countless events, including working in the hotdog stand. Bob
and Janet had traveled to Florida for their annual visit with Jim
and Eileen Goulette. They, with Janet and Bob’s daughter Angela,
and her sons, were with him during his extensive stay in the ICU at
Tampa General. After his passing, Janet, his friends, and Angela, her
husband, Luis, and their sons, Tino and Rico, released balloons into
the blue Florida sky with notes of love and memories to be carried
with Bob’s soul upward and onward. He is survived by his wife, Janet;
brother, Richard and wife, Gail; brother, Sidney and wife, Rainie; a
daughter Angela and husband, Luis and grandsons Antonio (Tino)
and Enrico (Rico); a son, Karl and granddaughters, Bree Elle, Olivia
and Natalie, numerous nieces and nephews; and his cat “Sadie”. He
was predeceased by his parents; a grand-niece, Aliza; and a great cat,
“Simon”. Donations may be made to the Aliza Jean Family Cancer
Foundation, c/o Bangor Savings Bank, PO Box 454, Skowhegan, ME
04976, or a charity of your choice. A memorial service will be conducted
11:00 a.m. Saturday, May 21, 2016, at the Lary Funeral Home, DoverFoxcroft, Maine, with a Celebration of Life immediately after at the
American Legion Hall on Park Street, Dover-Foxcroft. Condolences
and memories may be expressed at www.laryfuneralhome.com.
A memorial service to celebrate the life
of Rose Santos will be held on
Saturday, May 14th, at
St. Anne’s Parish Center
(60 Free Street) in Dexter, Maine.
A brief service will begin at 10:00 a.m.,
followed by a reception at the same
location until 2:00 p.m.

“Sangerville’s select board is on a power trip.”
To the Editor:
For many years the town of Sangerville’s Select Board has appointed a budget
committee to help them set the budget, thereby getting a broader community view of
fiscal matters and helping ensure that the town spends only what it can afford. The
budget committee meets several times and thoroughly discusses the budget, cutting
or adding as they see fit. At the end of this process they sit down with the select
board and go over the proposed budget one more time to see if both groups are in
agreement. The town report clearly shows the proposed budget for the coming year
along side the budets and actual expenditures for the two previous years. The town
warrant for the annual meeting clearly states what amount of funding the budget
committee recommends and what amount the select board recommends so that the
residents know when the two groups disagree and can decide between the two figures
or vote for some other figure entirely.
This year the select board decided to start the budgeting process before 2015 even
ended. On December 22, the board voted to give the town clerk, deputy town clerk,
the custodian and the public works director substantial raises. When the budget
committee started meeting in January, we thought that those were recommendations,
since the select board had no money with which to fund those raises. the committee
spent most of two sessions discussing what appropriate raises would be and what
the town could afford, recommending enough funding for 2% raises across the board.
When the committeee met with the select board, the board was cavalier in its
dismissal of a discussion on the budget. In fact, as long as the budget committee agreed
to lump sum funding for the fire department and public works, the select board was
happy to approve the budget committee’s recommendations, without looking at our
proposal. The town report did not have the figures for the proposed budget this year
and the warrant for town meeting had the select board and the budget committee in
complete agreement, never differing. With this paucity of information, the residents
voted on the budget, assuming that the select board and their budget committee had
agreed. The budget committee was under that impression as well.
When the first selectmen’s meeting rolled around after the town meeting, employee
salaries were once again on the agenda. The budget committee members assumed this
was to finalize the 2% raises that had been budgeted and the townspeople had agreed
to fund. Alas, that was not so. The select board discussed their vote in December,
deciding that there was no need to rescind it and spoke briefly to their plans to finagle
the budget so that they could fund these raises. Due to the set up of the budget, the
public works director’s raise is easily funded as is the maintenance worker’s, but ther
other two raises fall under administration and there is little extra money in that
section of the budget. The raises will increase administration just under $7,000 and
one employee alone will get nearly a 24% raise. Those numbers are astounding and
no one with an ounce of fiscal sense would approve them, but our select board did.
The select board then proceeded to hide what they had done from the public. They
told the budget committee they agreed with our recommendations. The column for
the proposed budget was conveniently left out of the town report. They phrased the
warrant so that it appeared that the budget committee and the select board agreed
and encouraged the budget committee to tell interested parties that a 2% raise was
approved. Nowhere in the town report did it show the increase they were planning
in administration. Sangerville’s select board is on a power trip. They ignored the
budget committee they set up to advise them and made no effort to represent the
townspeople who elected them.

SENIOR MATTERS
“Feeling your age?”
by Lesley M. Fernow, MD
In the past week 5 people in my life have independently spoken about suddenly
becoming aware of aging--- and not being happy about it. This seems to be a
signal that it is time to write about it.
Although each of these people is a different age ranging from 60-93, they only
now are at a time in their lives where they are becoming aware in a new and very
poignant and personal way of aging. We often hear people joking about getting
old, especially when they turn 50 and get black balloons or cards referencing
being “over the hill.” We know we will get old some day and the common image of
aging is dark and to be avoided. But most of us live lives of blessed oblivion about
the meaning of this until reality smacks us in the face.
But this moment where we meet the future we all dread, although different for
each of us, is a marker of life, a watershed moment. Why is it that some people
have this “Aha! moment” at 60 while others don’t experience it until they are in
their 90s? After all, grey hair and wrinkles often start much earlier. The outward,
visible signs of aging occur often while we still feel pretty young in spirit. Yet
many people remain vibrant, engaged and “young at heart” well past the time the
body has bid farewell to youth.
The common thread for the people I encountered this week was a sudden
awareness that the body and mind are not working without paying attention to
them and that some of the physical problems are not just annoyances any more.
For some of them, chronic pain is part of the mix, and for others some loss of
mental sharpness is a concern. But the most important thing for all of them is
that this new awareness is related to having to change behavior and stop doing
some of the things they love to do because it is now too hard or too risky. Perhaps
it is time to stop downhill skiing, or climbing ladders, or living alone, or driving?
Or perhaps you now need someone to help with finances or are thinking about
what is in your will? Or perhaps your trips are now more like group tours rather
than independently scooting around on a motorbike.
Getting older is a normal part of life. Most of us will be lucky enough to
experience it. But we should prepare for it and for the emotional swings that go
with it. The awareness of aging often thrusts people into a state of sudden grief
about losing the freedoms of younger years. Some people experience sudden fear
for the future. Some people become depressed. Some people grasp even more
at life by rapidly going down the bucket list before time runs out and develop
hyperactivity and sleep problems. However, planning for the eventual reality may
help to make it more just a natural stage of life than a dreaded event.
Occasionally, I meet older people who are content, and even happy about their
new-found seniority which allows them to sleep when they want, do what they
like and prove themselves to no one. These people do not age with dread but have
a remarkable acceptance of the natural course of things and are generally seen by
people around them as graceful and wise. What they do is adapt their expectations
of life in parallel with the requirements of aging. As their bodies begin to weaken,
they look for ways to express themselves in life differently. Perhaps they take up
painting or writing poetry. Perhaps they do scrapbooking or spend time seeking
out movies at Center Theatre. Instead of skiing they do gentle yoga, swimming
or walking with friends. One thing they usually do not do, however, is stop doing
anything. My oldest patients are those that have remained active and engaged
throughout their lives and especially in their later years. Many of them are now
living in their 100s.
So, I am intending, as I approach my inevitable future to plan for it with eager
curiosity. I am thinking about things I can/could do, what I have missed in the
first 2/3 of my life and what makes me happy and why. I am considering how
I will remain engaged, fit and useful to my society. I urge everyone to begin to
have conversations about this and to share great ideas. Also, become involved in
making our community supportive of healthy and vibrant aging by lending your
ideas on how to do this to the Maine Highlands Senior Center as we move forward
in creating a concept for thriving in place. Call me at 992-6822 or email me at

Grand opening of Harrigan Learning Center scheduled for May 12
MILO – The long-awaited
grand opening of the Harrigan
Learning Center and Museum of
Fossils, Minerals and Indian Artifacts in Milo will take place at 10
a.m. Thursday, May 12 with tours
at 11:30 a.m. and a light lunch to
follow.
The building is next to the
Three Rivers Kiwanis Club in
the Eastern Piscataquis Business
Park.
The center is owned by the
Three Rivers Kiwanis Club of
Milo-Brownville Foundation and
was made possible through a
generous donation by Tom and
Nancy Harrigan.
Tom Harrigan retired from
AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1987
after a long career in electrical
engineering. Throughout his lifetime, he had an insatiable fascination with fossils and traveled
as often as he could to seek and
collect them.
Immediately upon his retirement, the couple began traveling around the world on an archeological adventure that would
even intrigue action film hero Indiana Jones.
Forty years later, Tom Harrigan had accumulated a collection
of fossils, artifacts and minerals
so large he could no longer house
it all at his Milo residence.
Because the collection was
equally as impressive as its size,
members of the community continually encouraged Harrigan
to find a way to display it since
it would be something students,
families, and tourists alike would
certainly appreciate.
In 2013, the Harrigans paid for
the cost of a new building in the
Eastern Piscataquis Business
Park and donated it to Three Rivers Kiwanis, an organization of
which Tom and Nancy are active
members.
Two years later, on the same
grounds as the Kiwanis building,
now stands the Harrigan Learning Center and Museum – the
Harrigans’ newest labor of love.
The center is carefully filled with
the prized items they’ve collected
over the years.
Walking through the museum
is a feast for the eyes from floor
to ceiling, thanks to hand-painted murals by local artist Suzette
East, whose talent has captured
scenes from the moments in history from which many of the artifacts and fossils are derived.
Tom and Nancy Harrigan are
deeply involved in the town of
Milo and have an unusual sensitivity to the needs of the community and beyond. They made
every effort to use only local contractors and distributors during
construction of the learning center.
Because of this, the county has
already benefited from the building project and the anticipated
tourism traffic is sure to give the
economy an additional boost.
TCTC truckers receive awards at Augusta truck driving competition
DEXTER - The four (4) CTE Schools in Maine that have CDL
Training Programs for their vocational/technical high school age
students held the 4th Annual Dick Dolloff Memorial High School
Truck Driving Competition at the Augusta Civic Center in conjunction
with the NAWIC Construction Expo recently.
The Association of the Licensed CDL Instructors (CDIA) for the
high school programs represented by Region 3 which serves the
Lincoln area, Region 9 which serves the Rumford area, Tri-County
Technical Center which serves the Dexter area and Westbrook
Regional Vocational Center which serves students from the Westbrook
area; and with Maine Motor Transport Association (MMTA) and the
Maine Professional Drivers Association (MPDA) members organized
this event.
The event consisted of the students skillfully driving tractor-trailer
combinations and dump trucks through an obstacle course of hazards
and problems and performing an accurate vehicle safety inspection
with Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Troopers from the Maine
State Police as the judges.
Food for the event was donated by Delhaize America/Hannaford
Supermarkets of Scarborough, North Center Foods, Tim Hortons of
Lincoln and prepared by the Northern Penobscot Reg. 3 Culinary Arts
Instructor/Chef Herman Ammerman and his students.
The brand new equipment the students drove and inspected was
donated for the day by Whited Peterbilt of Auburn/Bangor made
possible by Sue McAvoy, by O’Conner-Volvo of Augusta made possible
by Pat Bushey and Freightliner of Maine made possible by Brian Hallowell. The equipment value of
the vehicles used by these high school drivers had a dollar value of over one million dollars. This is the
4th year these dealers have offered equipment for this event.
Several Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicle Licensing Examiners and nearly a dozen MPDA members,
who are current or retired CDL Operators from all over Maine and were present to act as skill judges
and scorers. The MPDA men and women will also serve as mentors to the drivers who won eligibility to
attend the Professional Driver Championship to be held in Bangor at Dysart’s Truck Stop on Saturday,
May 21st.
Because of the involvement of MPDA, there were 4 television news channels present as well as a local
newspaper and a national magazine journalist doing stories on these young CDL Operators.
Several Maine trucking companies brought trucks and company representatives to talk with the
students about the possibility of employment with their companies. Some of the represented companies
were Maine DOT, Performance Foods, Pine State, EJ Carrier and Pepsi Co., to name a few.
The TCTC award winners were Class A vehicle: 2nd place - Dylan Thibodeau(Nokomis).
Class A - Pre-Trip Safety Award - Ben Raymond(Guilford), Class B vehicle 1st place- Cody
Sylvester(Milo), Class B team award –TCTC.
Class A Future truckers that will be attending the Professional Drivers Championship from TCTC
are: Dylan Thibodeau and Justin Lary(Nokomis).
Class B Future truckers attending will be: Cody Sylvester and Jeffry Whitney(Nokomis).

Regional School Unit No. 68 for an additional three years?
A yes vote will require Regional School Unit No. 68 to continue to
conduct a referendum to validate its annual school budget for the next
three years.
A no vote will discontinue the budget validation referendum for at least three
years and provide instead that the annual budget shall be finally adopted at a
meeting of the voters.
