LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED
Newfield land
donated to trust
By Shelley Burbank
[email protected]
The Francis Small Heritage
Trust, a private, not-for-profit
conservation land trust, added
another 62.87 acres to their land
and easement holdings in 2014
with the addition of a conservation easement on riverfront property in Newfield owned by Harriet
Gerry. Though the land remains
in the ownership of the family, a
conservation easement was donated to the trust which, in turn,
will make sure the terms of the
easement are followed even when
the land is inherited or sold.
According to the trust’s Tidings of the Turtle newsletter, the
easement on the Gerry property
allows such traditional uses as
sustainable forest management
and small-scale and sustainable
agriculture in the fields. The
easement protects the ecological
system along the Little Ossipee
river on the property as well as
adjacent fields and forests. It also
allows public access for snowmobiling on an established trail and
“low-impact, daytime, non-motorized outdoor recreational and
educational uses.”
Trust president, Gil Harris,
says credit should also go to Hilary Walis who was instrumental in
working with the Gerrys to get the
easement project done. “I’m just
the spokesperson, she did the bulk
of the work.”
What is a conservation
easement?
Public enjoyment of the land
is one part of the trust’s mission
which states it will “conserve
natural resources and provide
for public access.” The Francis
Small Heritage Trust owns 1472
acres of land in the communities
northern York County, primarily
Limerick, Cornish, Limington,
Parsonsfield, and Newfield. In addition, the trust holds easements
on another 308 acres for which it
is responsible as a steward. Some,
but not all, easements allow for
public access and traditional uses
of the land such as hiking, hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing,
and snowmobiling on existing
trails. The trust also sponsors educational programming, hikes, and
trail management.
The trust helps homeowners
with the conservation easement
process. Explained Harris: “A
conservation easement limits certain uses of the land, such as the
right to subdivide or develop the
land. The owner donates or sells
the easement to a public agency
or to a private organization like
Francis Small Heritage Trust. The
title of the property remains with
the landowner. It can be sold or
passed on to heirs. The easement
restrictions run with the land,
meaning that terms of the easement continue to be in effect. The

York County Sheriff’s Deputy Gil Hudson participated in the Maine Children’s Cancer Program annual polar
dip on Feb. 14 at Sebago Lake. The air temp was 10 degrees and the water temp was a refreshing 32 degrees. Hudson took the plunge with some friends, his wife Sarah, daughter Maddy, and his son Austin who
is a brain cancer survivor. Austin was diagnosed with cancer in November 2010 and through the support of
family, friends, the Sheriff’s office and the Maine Children’s Cancer Program, he has made steady progress.
During his recovery, Deputy Hudson formed “Team Ozzy” a nickname for the team to support their son Austin.
Now, 4 years later, Austin is a full participant in the team! The Hudsons, along with good friends, Mark Call,
Tharail Singleton, Jensyn Harmon, Braden Daigneault, Zach Sylvestre, Jay Smalley and several offline and
online donations from various community members raised over $2,000 before taking the plunge. All proceeds
will be donated to Maine Children’s Cancer Program. In front, from left, Austin (Ozzy) Hudson and Deputy Gil

The Waterboro select board has decided to dedicate this year’s annual town report to the memory of
Ginny Day of East Waterboro. Ginny passed away
on Sept. 10, 2014, at the age of 78, after a long and
active life in the town. Day was born in Waterboro on
Jan. 10, 1936, a daughter of the late Maurice R. Sr.
and Frances R. (Brady) Swett.
An active member of the Waterborough Historical
Society, Day also served on other town committees
for many years. Most notably she was an organizer,
along with Dianne Holden and Cindy Durney, and a
model in the Waterborough Hysterical Society’s Vintage Fashion Show in 2008, which presented models
to show the history of fashion from pre-revolution to
present-day. Friends say she brought down the house
in her vintage bathing suit complete with inner tube.
Durney recalls, “She was just so much fun to work
with, it’s an incredible and well-deserved honor to
have the annual report dedicated to her memory.”

The State Police’s Bruin, a Belgian Malinois who patrols in southern
Maine with his handler, Trooper Justin Cooley, has been awarded a
ballistic vest, thanks to a nonprofit organization from Massachusetts.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., and an anonymous donor have provided
the $950 for the vest. Vested Interest is a charity located in East Taunton
whose mission is to provide protective vests to law enforcement dogs
throughout the US. Over 1,250 dogs nationwide have now received the
vests because of the group’s generosity, including several other police
dogs in Maine. Vested Interest’s website is www.vik9s.org. Bruin not only
patrols with Trooper Cooley, but is also a certified drug detection dog.

property is kept in private hands
with the owner able to live and
benefit from the land. The easement holder is then responsible
for making sure that the terms
of the easement are followed
through its stewardship role.”
Since easement land is still
private property, the wishes of the
property owner regarding access
should be respected.
Property tax issues
One of the questions people
often have regarding land donations and easement donations to
trusts is whether or not local property taxes are impacted.
“The easement itself does not
necessarily impact real estate tax
rates.The land, and the responsibility for paying taxes, remains
with the owner,” said Harris.
“The land may be in Tree Growth
or Forever Wild status that can affect tax rates. This is also true for
other land not encumbered by an
easement.”
There is a difference between
property owned by a land trust and
property under private ownership
with an easement. The tax status of a property will not change
simply because of an easement.
However, property owned by a
non-profit trust can see a change
in tax status.
Eric Conrad, communications
and educational services spokesman for the Maine Municipal Association, said that land donations
(not easements) could affect property taxes when the ownership
changes from private to non-prof-

it ownership. He also stressed that
preservation is valuable to Maine.
“There have been a lot of land donations up and down the coast and
near lakes. Trails have been preserved. It is good for Maine and
our way of life,” Conrad said. “In
general, there have been a lot of
cases where land has gone from
private land to a land trust. There
is a lot of value in that. Generally
it is for a good cause.”
While Conrad said that preserving the land was good from
an environmental and recreational standpoint, he also said,
“Donations could affect property
taxes. In a small town, it can take
significant land off the town tax
rolls. If the land goes from private
to non-profit ownership, the land
goes from being taxed to not being taxed.”
Harris also emphasized the
benefits of land stewardship and
preservation to communities.
“Lands under conservation easements may serve the same purpose as state or national parks to
offer public access for environmental education and passive recreational opportunities,” he said.
In 2014, the question of real
estate tax valuation on property
owned by land trusts was brought
all the way to Maine’s Supreme
Judicial Court in a case between
the Town of Limington and Francis Small Heritage Trust. The
town argued that land on and
near Sawyer Mountain – property
owned by the trust and protected
by a forever-wild conservation
easement – should not be exempt
from property taxes but rather assessed according to an interpretation of the Maine Tree Growth
Tax Law and the Maine Open
More than 20 years
of experience!

www.kldesignandmarketing.com
Space Law. The trust argued that
FSHT met the criteria for tax exempt status as a benevolent and
charitable institution. The court
ruled in favor of the trust.
The Francis Small Heritage
Trust believes that the court’s decision in favor of the trust will set
a precedent in Maine and will be
considered in out of state cases
as well; however, the trust also
realizes that municipal budgets
depend on property taxes.
According to the trust’s newsletter, “FSHT recognizes that
towns still need money to provide for municipal services. Like
many other land trusts, FSHT
has offered to pay either taxes or
make Payments In Lieu Of Taxes
(PILOT) in all of the towns where
we own property, as long as the
Trust has the resources to do so.”
The trust offered to pay half the
Limington taxes in 2014, but the
town decided not to accept those
funds. “We thank the selectmen
for that,” the trust’s December
2014 newsletter states. “These
funds will be used towards our
legal expenses and hopefully
Limington will accept our PILOT
offering in 2015.”
Community enjoyment
and education
The Francis Small Heritage
Trust offers many opportunities
for people in the surrounding
communities to enjoy the beauty of nature. Options for hiking
include the 20-acre Jagolinzer
Preserve in Limington which offers a beautiful brook, waterfall,
old dam, wetlands, forest, and
frontage on the Saco River. The
Sawyer Mountain Highlands are
another option for hiking. Other
holdings are The Heath near Rt.
5 in Limerick and Cornish, the
Bald Ledge Overlook in Porter,
and the Poulin Preserve in Limerick. Classes on traditional forestry
practices have been held as well
as youth educational programs.

Heater cause of fire
A house fire that destroyed a
home in North Waterboro on Feb.
16 was caused by combustible
items stored too close to a space
heater, according to the Waterboro Fire Department in a written
statement. Just after midnight on
Feb. 16, the Waterboro Fire Department received a call about a
building fire on Greenfield Road
in North Waterboro. Crews were
able to put out the fire by 7 a.m,
although fire department and state
fire marshal’s office personnel
were still on the scene at that time.
There were no injuries due to
the fire, and the homeowner’s dog
was rescued. The Red Cross was
called in to assist once the fire was
out, and neighbors are helping
through a local Facebook group.
According to Chief Matt Bors,
the owner of the home was using
space heaters to avoid frozen water pipes. Extreme cold temperatures, snow, ice and wind made
fighting the fire a challenge.

Aroma Joe’s progress
While weather is presenting
its challenges, the construction
of Waterboro’s Aroma Joe’s is
progressing. Heaters have been
running inside of the shell of the
building for the past few weeks
to thaw the ground inside, and
plumbing is going in this week,
with the pouring of the slab to occur soon after. Owner and developer Steve Cantwell of Cantwell
Properties of Wells originally
hoped for an opening on May 1,
but, due to the extremes of snow
and cold, expects that June 1 is
the more likely opening. Cantwell
is a franchisee of the Aroma Joe’s
company and owns the sites in Alfred and Waterboro.
The outer appearance of the
project has not changed in some
time, and that is all about the
weather. The continued cold is
holding up shingling of the roof,
the next exterior phase of construction. This is due to the nail
guns freezing up. In turn, lack of
roof shingling is holding up the
installation of windows due to
danger of falling tools or other
equipment threatening the windows. The siding cannot be installed at temperatures lower than
25 degrees, as the material becomes too brittle and is difficult
to cut.
Cantwell describes what he
hopes townspeople will find to be
an attractive “neutral gray exterior with black shingles and trim,
with a stone veneer wrap.”

Planning board action
on driveway ordinance
After discussion of the proposed Driveway Ordinance received from the Road Review
Committee and the Director of
the Department of Public Works,
Planning Board members agreed
that regulations for residential
and commercial driveways need
to be distinct from each other.
They also agreed that the burden placed on residents to comply
with the provisions of the proposed ordinance for new driveways or any changes in an existing driveway are restrictive and
would make entire sections of the
town undevelopable.
Code Enforcement Officer
Glenn Charette stated that, “The
only control the town has over residential driveways is at the place
where the driveway meets a public way. The town can determine
that a driveway is at least 50 feet
from an intersection, and whether
a culvert will be required.”
After input from former Planning Board member Andy Cote
and Charette, interim Chair Kurt
Clason moved that the Planning
Board not adopt the Waterboro
Driveway Ordinance dated Feb.
3, 2015 stating it was over-regulatory and over burdensome to the
residents of the town. Lee Nelsons
seconded the motion, and Clason,
Nelson, Judi Carll and Dwayne
Prescott voted not to adopt.
Clason went on to move that
the Board continue to work with
the CEO to separate residential
from commercial driveways on a
counter proposal for a driveway
ordinance, to be submitted to the
selectmen when finalized. The
motion was seconded by Dwayne
Prescott, and the Board voted in
the affirmative, 4-0.
Jen Gaskell, Lucille Maurice, Ann Paquette, and BJ Biana were part of
a small but energetic group of scrapbookers and croppers who came together at WES on Saturday, Feb. 7. Meals were enjoyed and there were

Lions Club Speak Out
Teens of high school age will
compete in the 2015 Lions Club
Speak Out at Massabesic High
School on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at
7:45 a.m. in the auditorium. Any
students from grades 9 through
12 are eligible to enter, whether
they are in public or private school
or are homeschooled. The local
Speak Out includes students who
live in the towns of RSU 57. Chair
of the event is Cher Precourt, president of the Massabesic Lions of
Waterboro and Alfred. Seven Lions members act as judges, questioners, a tallier and a timer. The
seven include members from the
Lyman, Acton, Limerick and Waterboro Clubs. These same clubs
donate the prizes for the competition, and first, second and third
place winners receive a cash prize
and a certificate.
Each student speaks on important issues facing them and their
community, state and nation. Past
topics have included the need for
more activity buses, the effects of
budget cuts on essential school
supplies, how cutting back on gym
class time affects them, and recently the effect of a student suicide on
the entire student body.
The Speak Out occurs at three
levels: local, district and region.
Local includes any student who
lives in the local school district,
the district competition includes
winners from York County, and
the regional competition covers
the entire state of Maine. Entrants
are judged at the first level, and if
they win, they continue to the next
level with the same speech.
At Massabesic, Mrs. Dorothy
Hawes, teacher for the gifted and
talented program, encourages students to participate and works with
them to decide on a topic and to
write, edit and practice a five-minute speech. Precourt believes in
the program as it helps students to
articulate their beliefs and develop
the ability to communicate arguments that will assist them later in
life.
Following the Tuesday morning
local competition, the district competition will be held the Massabesic
Lions Club in Waterboro Thursday
evening, Feb. 26 following a dinner
at 6 p.m. The regional state competition will be held in Auburn Saturday, April 25 following a lunch.
There is a cash prize and a certificate or plaque at each level.

Dudley-five records on season-takes 200 crown
By Michael DeAngelis
[email protected]
The lady Mustangs swam to an
eighth place finish at the class A state
championships held Tuesday, Feb.
17 at Bowdoin.
Brunswick took the title with 246
points. Cheverus was next with 230
and Kennebunk rounded out the top
three with 217. The Mustangs had
137 and finished ahead of 17 other
high schools.
Once again, it was Elaine Dud-
ley setting the standard, but not only
for the Mustangs, for the entire state.
The junior closed out an undefeated
season in the 200-yard freestyle with
a stellar 1:56.73. Anne Guadalupi of
Cony was the only other swimmer in
the field to touch the wall in under
2:00 minutes.
Said Dudley, “I thought the team
did really well, but personally, I feel
like I can swim better, but I’ll take
what I got.”
What she’ll take is yet another
school record as she turned in a 54.84
in the 100 freestyle later in the day.
She lowered the mark set in 1992 by
Laura Jacobsen who posted a 55.85.
The time in the 100 gave Dudley the
bronze in that event as Mariah Brady
of Biddeford touched in 53.67 and
Abby Longstaff of Cheverus had a
54.54 in what ended up perhaps being the feature event of the day.
Dudley also joined Ashley Cryer,
Joanna LaFrance and Morgan Houk
in capturing a fourth-place finish in
the 200-medley relay. That unit posted a 2:01.94, just missing the school
mark set in 2007 at 2:00.95. The rest
of the Mustang points came via finishes that were no better than fifth
place.
On the season Dudley claimed
five records: She broke the 200 IM
mark that had been set 25-years ago
back on Jan. 9. One week later she
lowered the school record that she
set as a freshman in the 200 freestyle
and she lowered that mark even further when she set a new south-southwestern record last week. Additionally, at that same event, Dudley set
the school record in the 100 butterfly
and she wrapped up an incredible
season at the Maine state championships by setting the school record in
the 100 freestyle, a record that had
stood for 23 years.
“I’m really pleased with the results this year,” said Dudley.
Beach and Bonny Eagle has taken
a turn for the better.

MOB hockey got four points
from Tanner McClure (2g, 2a)
and held off a hard-charging gang
from Poland/Oak Hill/Gray-New
Gloucester late to scrape out a 4-3
win on Monday, Feb. 16 at the
Norway Savings Bank Arena in
Auburn.
Cam Roy got the scoring started early, putting MOB up 1-0 after
a pass from McClure. The 26ers
tied it less than two minutes later
and the see-saw affair was on.
Kyle Whitman made it 2-1
MOB, McClure and Roy assisting,
at the 10:44 mark, but again the
26ers tied it within two minutes
and the teams went into the first
break deadlocked at two.
McClure took over in third.
The forward banged home the
go-ahead goal at 6:49 and he added the game winner less than five
minutes later.
The 26ers cut it to 4-3 off the
ensuing face-off, but the MOB
closed out the win with Bridges (36
saves, 13 in the 3rd) steady in net.

The Noble/Wells Knights
scored five unanswered goals to
pace a 5-1 win over MOB (6-102) on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at USM.
Cam Roy collected a pass from
Tanner McClure at 2:23 to put
MOB up 1-0, but the Knights tied
it at the 4-minute mark and they
took a lead they’d never relinquish
before the first intermission.
Midway through the middle period Nate DeWolf made it 3-1 and
Noble/Wells added two scores in
the third period. Mat Bridges made
23 saves for MOB, who put 22
shots of their own on Wyatt Ricker.
As of Thursday, Feb. 19 MOB
held the eighth and final spot in the
playoff standings. That spot could
change subject to pending games,
especially Portland/Deering versus Biddeford, but even without a
berth in the postseason it’s clear
that the hockey program at all three
schools: Massabesic, Old Orchard
Sophomore Moriah Biener
captured gold with a high jump
of 5' 2" and she added a seventh
place finish with a time of 1:03.53
in the closely contested 400-meter-dash to give Massabesic its
only points in this years’ indoor
track and field state championships held Monday, Feb. 16 at
USM.
Biener generated 11 points for
the Mustangs which placed them
16th in a field of 24 high schools.
Thornton Academy was first with
53, Lewiston had 49, Scarborough
42, Cheverus 33 and the Scots
were fifth with 31.
Biener, who alone cleared the
bar at 5' 2", topped Sarah Rinaldi
of Scarborough and Alexis Wintle of Windham who both failed at
the same height, but had succeeded at 5'. Two other jumpers also
cleared the bar at 5', but each of
them had exhausted their attempts
in what turned into nail-biter of a
competition.
The 400 provided an equal
amount of drama as spots 3-7 all
crossed the line within one second
of each other. Elisabeth Redwood
from Bonny Eagle won the race
with a sparkling 1:00.24. Deering’s Caitlin Lally was runner-up
in 1:00.95 with Emily Turner of
Cheverus turning in a 1:02.59.
Runners 4-8 all crossed the line
in under 1:04.00, which included
Biener, in seventh, at 1:03.53.

Fishing derby postponed
It wasn’t because of the cold
weather but a matter of safety that
made Chris Caswell decide to
change the date of the Parks and
Rec Fish Derby to March 7 on
Shaker Pond. The particulars will
be the same – youngsters up to
the age of 15 can enter, prizes for
the largest fish caught in each age
group, refreshments by the York
County Shelter, and the raffle of
a $450 ice auger. The derby will
run from 7 a.m. to 12 noon, and
registrations can be made at the
Brothers Beach that morning.
It was felt the ice at present
might not be thick enough to be
safe for snowmobiles and whatever other heavy equipment could
be on the pond.
The work of our

When the Alfred Village Museum used this theme some years
ago, townspeople discovered
there were many talented people
in their midst who could whittle,
spin, weave and do other hand
work. Anyone who would like
to display their work in 2015 is
asked to contact a member of
the Alfred Historical Committee.
There will be some surprises. The

SPORTS
Richard, Risti, Walton take gold
By Michael DeAngelis
[email protected]
Marshwood claimed its fourth
consecutive Class A state championship, gathering 183 team points
and Noble banked 130.5, good for
the runner-up spot, at Mt. Ararat
High School on Saturday, Feb. 14.
Massabesic put three wrestlers
on the championship podium,
helping to collect 102-points, but
they were nipped by Skowhegan’s
115 who took the bronze.
Senior captains Mike Risti
(220) and Zac Richard (145) who
both captured southwestern titles
last week repeated the trick at
states.
Sophomore Trevor Walton
(195), not to be outdone, did the
same, capturing his first south
western gold and his first state title to join his teammates.
For Risti, it was fast and seemingly easy. He pinned Oakley
Fortin of Skowhegan before half
of one-minute had expired and
he followed with a pin of Oxford
Hills’ Creighton Mederios in only
16 seconds. Zac Schluntz of Noble must have decided to stay off
his back because he forfeited the
title match to Risti, who he had
never managed to finish a bout
with, having been pinned by the
Mustang each time the two had
squared off.
Walton made his way to his
title by pinning Colby Valliere of
Windham in 24 seconds. He took
a major decision win, 8-0, over
Devon O’Connor of Cony and his
title bout against Chris Wilson of
Nokomis ended in a 5-3 nail biter.
Richard, who seems destined
to face Otto Keisker of Noble every time he laces up, did exactly
that with the two squaring off for
the 12th time overall. Before last
week’s meet, neither had ever
captured consecutive wins against
the other, but Richard pulled the
trick winning 4-1 in a tight match.
Keisker failed to even the series
between the two at states, as Richard won his third straight, this
time 7-4, against his rival.
Kyle Hanson of Westbrook fell
to Richard in his opening bout,
Richard taking a major decision,
13-3. Marshwood’s Sam Hebert
fell next in a close match, 7-5,
setting up the state title bout with
Keisker.
Coach Rick DeRosier said the
team had a great season, but pointed to Richard as a beacon of what
makes coaching worth it saying,
“Zac’s worked so hard all these
years, doing stuff on his own, just
battling…it felt great to watch
him grab titles these last two
weeks, the New England qualifier
should be fun.”

for results.

BRIEFS
Derby cancelled
After meeting on Feb. 12, the
American Legion posts from Alfred and Limerick decided not to
reschedule the 2015 ice fishing
derby on Little Ossipee Lake. According to the Legion, they decided to cancel because they believed
the ice conditions would not improve as there will be a layer of
slush making it difficult to get vehicles out onto the lake. The Legion will be returning funds from
the tickets sold prior to the event.
They are also returning donations
to sponsors.
