Newfield land donated to trust

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 ad-dition, 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, hunt-ing, fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling on existing trails. The trust also sponsors edu-cational programming, hikes, and trail management.

The trust helps homeowners with the conservation easement process. Explained Harris: “A conservation easement limits cer-tain 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.

property is kept in private hands with the owner able to live and benefit from the land. The ease-ment 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 issuesOne of the questions people

often have regarding land dona-tions and easement donations to trusts is whether or not local prop-erty taxes are impacted.

“The easement itself does not necessarily impact real estate tax rates.The land, and the responsi-bility for paying taxes, remains with the owner,” said Harris. “The land may be in Tree Growth or Forever Wild status that can af-fect 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 sta-tus 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 spokes-man for the Maine Municipal As-sociation, said that land donations (not easements) could affect prop-erty 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 do-nations up and down the coast and near lakes. Trails have been pre-served. 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 pre-serving the land was good from an environmental and recre-ational 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 be-ing taxed.”

Harris also emphasized the benefits of land stewardship and preservation to communities. “Lands under conservation ease-ments may serve the same pur-pose as state or national parks to offer public access for environ-mental education and passive rec-reational 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 Fran-cis 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 as-sessed according to an interpre-tation of the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law and the Maine Open

Space Law. The trust argued that FSHT met the criteria for tax ex-empt 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 de-cision 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 news-letter, “FSHT recognizes that towns still need money to pro-vide 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 beau-ty of nature. Options for hiking include the 20-acre Jagolinzer Preserve in Limington which of-fers 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 Limer-ick. Classes on traditional forestry practices have been held as well as youth educational programs.

Trail maps, information, newsletters, brochures, and ed-ucational opportunities can be found by going to the trust’s web-site at http://www.fsht.org.

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.

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 Water-boro Fire Department in a written statement. Just after midnight on Feb. 16, the Waterboro Fire De-partment 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 wa-ter pipes. Extreme cold tempera-tures, snow, ice and wind made fighting the fire a challenge.

Aroma Joe’s progressWhile 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 oc-cur soon after. Owner and devel-oper 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 Al-fred 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 con-struction. 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 win-dows. The siding cannot be in-stalled at temperatures lower than 25 degrees, as the material be-comes too brittle and is difficult to cut.

Cantwell describes what he hopes townspeople will find to be an attractive “neutral gray exteri-or with black shingles and trim, with a stone veneer wrap.”

The Waterboro location will include an 800-square-foot section to serve as the Aroma Joe’s drive-thru, with the rest a

2,000-square-foot unit for lease. The commercial lease will soon be listed by Cardente Real Estate.

Music and art at WESWaterboro Elementary School

held its second art and music cel-ebration this year on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at Massabe-sic Middle School. Close to 700 family members and friends were in attendance to see second- and third-grade students perform a musical celebration of winter. Be-fore the concert, audience mem-bers watched a digital celebration of each student’s artwork. Art teacher Julie Klehn took a pic-ture of every child with his/her creation and worked closely with Deb Crowley, the music teacher, to create a movie with accompa-nying music for parents to enjoy during the pre-concert show.

Children sang songs by John Jacobson and John Higgins during their performance, includ-ing “Cold Snap,” “We’re Flakes,”

“SNIRT,” “Nothing Special” and “One in a Million.” A sec-ond movie, showing a variety of winter scenes, was projected on screen while the children sang. Between the songs, the movie showed students who looked like snow flakes falling from the sky as they read lines from a series of poems. There was a nice blend of beautifully-performed live music and a creative use of technology to bring the show to life.

Planning board action on driveway ordinance

After discussion of the pro-posed Driveway Ordinance re-ceived 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 bur-den placed on residents to comply with the provisions of the pro-posed ordinance for new drive-ways or any changes in an exist-ing 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 res-idential driveways is at the place where the driveway meets a pub-lic 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 Plan-ning 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-regu-latory 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.

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, pres-ident of the Massabesic Lions of Waterboro and Alfred. Seven Li-ons members act as judges, ques-tioners, a tallier and a timer. The seven include members from the Lyman, Acton, Limerick and Wa-terboro Clubs. These same clubs donate the prizes for the compe-tition, and first, second and third place winners receive a cash prize and a certificate.

Each student speaks on import-ant 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 recent-ly 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 stu-dents to participate and works with them to decide on a topic and to write, edit and practice a five-min-ute speech. Precourt believes in the program as it helps students to articulate their beliefs and develop the ability to communicate argu-ments that will assist them later in life.

Following the Tuesday morning local competition, the district com-petition will be held the Massabesic Lions Club in Waterboro Thursday evening, Feb. 26 following a dinner at 6 p.m. The regional state compe-tition will be held in Auburn Sat-urday, April 25 following a lunch. There is a cash prize and a certifi-cate or plaque at each level.

Jen Gaskell, Lucille Maurice, Ann Paquette, and BJ Biana were part of a small but energetic group of scrapbookers and croppers who came to-gether at WES on Saturday, Feb. 7. Meals were enjoyed and there were many raffles with a 50/50 raffle that Theresa Sullivan won, and donated back to the PTO, who organized the event. COURTESY PHOTO

SPORTSBiener takes high jump crown at statesBy Michael [email protected]

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-me-ter-dash to give Massabesic its only points in this years’ indoor track and field state champion-ships 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 Wint-le of Windham who both failed at the same height, but had succeed-ed 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. Deer-ing’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.

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.”

The Noble/Wells Knights scored five unanswered goals to pace a 5-1 win over MOB (6-10-2) 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 pe-riod 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 ver-sus Biddeford, but even without a berth in the postseason it’s clear that the hockey program at all three schools: Massabesic, Old Orchard

MOB splits a pairPlayoffs loom 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 start-ed 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 add-ed 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. MOB’s Mat Bridges. COURTESY PHOTO BY JASON GENDRON, S4 ACTION PHOTOGRAPHY

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 be-ing 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 post-ed a 2:01.94, just missing the school mark set in 2007 at 2:00.95. The rest of the Mustang points came via fin-ishes 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 fur-ther when she set a new south-south-western record last week. Addition-ally, at that same event, Dudley set the school record in the 100 butterfly and she wrapped up an incredible season at the Maine state champion-ships by setting the school record in the 100 freestyle, a record that had stood for 23 years.

“I’m really pleased with the re-sults this year,” said Dudley.

Fishing derby postponedIt 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 what-ever other heavy equipment could be on the pond.

The work of our hands

When the Alfred Village Mu-seum 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 committee will meet on Wednes-day, Feb. 25 at the home of Steve and Emily McKinnon at 7 p.m.

Parish Church

The monthly free supper spon-sored by the Alfred Parish Church will be Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 5 to 6 p.m. in Conant Chapel. It will be a Mexican night with the menu featuring beans, rice, enchiladas and desserts. Sometimes there is live music (but probably not Mexican.)

A free will offering can be giv-en but isn’t necessary.

On Monday, Feb. 23 the Book Group which is studying “On God’s Side” will meet in Parsons Library at 6 p.m. Larry Greer and

Bruce Burnham are the discus-sion leaders. This group meets every other Monday.

The Men’s Breakfast North will meet Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 8:30 a.m. The Nooning Group will meet for Bible study on Wednes-day in the chapel at 12 noon, and the choir will rehearse on Thurs-day at 7 p.m.

The Parish Paddlers, who had to postpone their Sunday get-to-gether a week ago, will meet at the home of John and Lisa Cook this Sunday, Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. Games, snowshoes and potluck are on the agenda.

Library potluck and raffle

Saturday, Feb. 28 is when the Friends of Parsons Library will hold their potluck supper at 5 p.m. and announce the winner of the raffle for the quilt “Main-ly Books” displayed at the library. Raffle tickets may be purchased up until then. The program that night will include a game of Triv-ia.

Town Hall

Anyone looking for a part-time job and involvement in town activities may be interested in be-ing secretary for the Alfred Plan-ning Board and Board of Appeals. Call 324-5873 ext. 202 for a job description or application by Feb. 24.

Next week, with the mold eradication in the crawl space completed, town offices will again be in town hall.

There are two openings on the library board, but the candidates will have to be elected via write-ins on the ballot at town meeting. These are three-year terms. There is only one competition at the polls, Paul Gauthier and John Syl-vester, vying for the office of se-lectman. The annual town meet-ing will be March 27 for elections in Conant Chapel and March 28 for the annual warrant in Alfred Elementary School.

PLANNING BOARDThe Waterboro Planning Board will hold a public hearing on March 4, 2015 regarding the Site Plan

application for a 5-lot subdivision to be located at Tax Map 13 Lot 30A located on Clark’s Bridge Road, North Waterboro. The Public Hearing will start at 7:00 p.m. at the Waterboro Townhall, Selectmen’s Meeting Room located at 24 Townhouse Road, East Waterboro. The purpose of this hearing is to receive public comment.

Jim Carll recalls that when the historical society received Carle’s Corner Museum from the town in 1979, Day, with some assistance, painted the entire building inside and out. Member Linda Hans-comb said, “She had so much en-ergy for the job. I was in awe of her!” Carll also recalled that Day was active with the rescue squad of the Waterboro Fire Department for years and also drove a school bus for some time. “She was al-ways there when anyone needed anything,” he said.

Carll also shared that Ginny was a member of the historically significant Swett family of Wa-terboro, and great-great-great-granddaughter of Josiah Swett, a carpenter who owned land on the eastern slope of Ossipee Moun-tain. Swett began construction on the Schooner “Waterborough” in 1818. Then, in 1820, the same year that Maine separated from Massachusetts, had the ship dragged by a team of oxen from the slopes of Ossipee Mountain to its launching in Kennebunkport. The schooner is commemorated

to him, started joking with him, and he put his arm around her. He was celebrating his birthday and explained it was common for people to dress up for such occa-sions.”

Holden described what she hopes will be a legacy for Day, “This year I called the candle lights at the Taylor House Muse-um, the ‘Ginny lights.’ One of the projects we did together each year was to decorate the exterior of the museum. Several years ago, she presented the idea of purchasing candle lights for the windows. We never regretted it, as they brought life to the building. So when you see them each night during the winter months, please remem-ber Ginny and her legacy to her hometown.”

with Day over the years. She wrote, “Ginny was full of fun, a giving and caring person. From giving ceramic lessons, to her beautifully decorated cakes that she delivered to the various bake sales, she was a very talented woman. She loved to travel and arranged many trips that included her family and friends to the land she truly loved, Ireland.”

Nancy Brandt shared her mem-ory of a recent trip she made with Day. “Ginny put together a trip to Ireland for a group of friends and family. She had been there several times and was excited to share that experience with others. One time we had just finished the Guinness tour, when a gentleman walked past us wearing a dress. Ginny ask me if I dared her to grab the hair on his legs. I learned long ago not to take a dare with her. Lo and behold, she went over

OPINION

Anthony, from Brooklyn, is in the market for a good therapist. While he survived his midlife crisis with little if any damage, he is cur-rently going through a major identi-ty crisis. It all started with a notifi-cation from Facebook. The alleged notice was sent to inform Anthony “that you do not have an account with Facebook. You’ve erroneous-ly been logging into the account of someone with the same name. In lieu of all the friends on this ac-count seeking to befriend the real you, we have opened an account on your behalf. Please stop using this account and go to your real account. We are supplying a temporary user name and password. Please feel free to log in at any time. Your Friends at Facebook.”

This notification only compli-cated matters for Anthony, Tony to his friends, who recently shared a study by researchers at the Uni-versity of Cambridge and Stanford

Facebook knows bestUniversity regarding Facebook. The results of the study indicate Face-book is the “real” you. This is a very frighten-ing finding. Anthony is single, divorced several years ago. Recently he raved about this woman he met. He talked about the butterflies in the pit of his belly as he worked up the nerve to ask her to dinner. He posted about the chemistry shared as they discussed one another’s lives, related to different things, and most important of all, laughed over things beyond any individual’s control. And then it was done.

He pined for an explanation as to what went wrong, and she finally relinquished.

“It was the night we spent to-gether,” she explained.

“We spent a night together?” Tony asked. They had one date.

byJon Simonds

He took her home. They shared a kiss at her front door. She didn’t invite him in. (He was relieved she wasn’t fast). He went home. “When did we spend the night to-gether?”

“The night we went to dinner. As soon as you went home, I logged onto my Facebook ac-

count and cut right to the mustard. I went straight to your page. You know how people think people are one way, and then after the court-ing and the commitment, only then do the true colors come shining through! I crawled into bed with my laptop and spent the night with the real you. And let me tell you some-thing, buddy…”

Researchers at the aforemen-tioned study developed a personal-ity algorithm (a step-by-step set of operations) based on Facebook user

likes and found the algorithm’s con-clusions proved Facebook knew its users better than anyone, including any given user’s spouse. To make matters worse Anthony received a follow-up notification inform-ing him that he was no longer he. That in fact, Facebook was really him and he was merely a visitor, checking in to see how he was do-ing, because prospective employ-ers and dinner dates and people are watching him. Even the ones he has

forgotten. Now Anthony is looking for a therapist because he thinks he’s really Mickey Rourke in that classic movie “Angel Heart” with Robert DeNiro with Rourke walk-ing around muttering, “I know who I am. I know who I am,” while De-Niro playing the role of Louis Cy-pher constantly asks, “Do you?”

Marshwood claimed its fourth consecutive Class A state champi-onship, 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 ti-tle to join his teammates.

For Risti, it was fast and seem-ingly 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 No-ble 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.

Mat men 4th at statesRichard, Risti, Walton take gold

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 ev-ery 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 Rich-ard 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 point-ed 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.”

Check the Reporter next week for results.

Derby cancelledAfter meeting on Feb. 12, the

American Legion posts from Al-fred and Limerick decided not to reschedule the 2015 ice fishing derby on Little Ossipee Lake. Ac-cording to the Legion, they decid-ed to cancel because they believed

the ice conditions would not im-prove as there will be a layer of slush making it difficult to get ve-hicles out onto the lake. The Le-gion will be returning funds from the tickets sold prior to the event. They are also returning donations to sponsors.
