DedicationThe Lovell Board of Selectmen

Wish to dedicate this year’s town report to

Al & Jacky StearnsAl and Jacky Stearns have deep roots in the town of Lovell. Al proudly maintains that at 82, he is one of the few octogenarian residents to have grown up in the town. Jacky was introduced to Lovell - and Al - in the summer of 1953, when visiting the home of fellow Hartford Hospital nursing student, Marilyn Norton. Although Al and Jacky “retired” full time to Lovell in 1999, they are very active in the community. The couple continues to volunteer for many organizations including the Lovell United Church of Christ, Lovell Friends Helping Friends, the Chili Competition, the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, the Old Home Days 5k race, Tour de Lovell and the Historical Society. In addition to their three children, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren, the couple acquired an extended “family” of Vietnamese students through Fryeburg Academy. Over the years, they have hosted the kids as well as their parents and siblings, not hesitating to accept the invitation to travel to their homes in Vietnam. Al & Jacky are delighted that many students return to visit during their college breaks to enjoy Lovell’s special community.

ARTICLE IIDEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS ORDINANCE

* * * * *Functionally Water-Dependent Uses: those uses that require, for their primary purpose, location on submerged lands or that require direct access to, or location in, water bodies and which cannot be located away from these waters. The uses include, but are not limited to commercial and recreational fishing and boating facilities, waterfront dock and port facilities, marinas, shoreline structures necessary for erosion control purposes, industrial uses requiring large volumes of cooling or processing water and which cannot reasonably be located or operated at an inland site, and uses which primarily provide general public access to water bodies. Recreational boat storage buildings are not considered to be a functionally water-dependent use.

5.1 Land Use Requirements. Except as hereinafter specified, no building, structure or land shall hereafter be used or occupied, and no building or structure or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, constructed, moved, or altered and no new lot shall be created unless in conformity with all of the regulations herein specified for the district in which it is located, unless a variance is granted. It is the intent of this Ordinance to promote land use conformities, except that non-conforming conditions that existed before the effective date of this Ordinance or amendments thereto shall be allowed to continue, subject to the requirements set forth in this Article. Except as otherwise provided in this Ordinance, a non-conforming condition shall not be permitted to become more non-conforming.

5.2 Non-Conformance.* * * * *C.

Non-Conforming Structures.

1. Enlargements Controlled.

A non-conforming structure shall not be added to or enlarged unless the addition does not increase the non-conformity of the structure in accordance with the standards of this section; or a variance is obtained. In addition, state laws must be adhered to.

a. The addition of an open patio with no structures elevated above ground level shall not constitute the expansion of a non-conforming structure, except in the Shoreland Zone. The addition of steps or the enclosure of an existing deck shall not constitute the expansion of a non-conforming structure, provided the enclosure does not expand the volume of the structure by 30% or more and is outside the Shoreland Zone. But the addition of a deck shall constitute the expansion of a non-conforming structure and shall meet all the dimensional requirements of this ordinance.

* * * * *

d. Within the Shoreland Zone only, all new principal and accessory structures, excluding functionally water- dependent uses, must meet the water body, tributary stream, or wetland setback requirements contained in Section 6.5.D.2. A non-conforming structure may be

18

added to or expanded after obtaining a permit from the same permitting authority as that for a new structure, if such addition or expansion does not increase the non-conformity of the structure and is in accordance with subsection 1. below.

1. Within the Shoreland Zone only, expansion of any portion of a structure partially or entirely within 25 feet from the normal high water line of a water body, tributary stream, or upland edge of a wetland, is prohibited, even if the expansion will not increase nonconformity with the water body, tributary stream, or wetland setback requirement. Expansion of an accessory structure that is located closer to the normal high water line of a water body, tributary stream or upland edge of a wetland than the principal structure is prohibited, even if expansion will not increase nonconformity with the water body, tributary stream, or wetland setback requirement.

2. All other legally existing nonconforming principal and accessory structures that do not meet the water body, tributary stream, or wetland setback requirements may be expanded or altered as follows, as long as other applicable municipal land use standards are met and the expansion is not prohibited by Section C.1.d or Section C.1.d.1 above

i. For structures located less than 75 feet from the normal high-water line of a water body, tributary stream, or upland edge of a wetland, the maximum combined total footprint for all structures may not be expanded to a size greater than 1,000 square feet or 30% larger than the footprint that existed on January 1, 1989, whichever is greater. The maximum height of any structure may not be made greater than 20 feet or the height of the existing structure, whichever is greater

ii. For structures located less than 100 feet from the normal high-water line of a great pond classified as GPA or a river flowing to a great pond classified as GPA, the maximum combined total footprint for all structures may not be expanded to a size greater than 1,500 square feet or 30% larger than the footprint that existed on January 1, 1989, whichever is greater. The maximum height of any structure

19

may not be made greater than 25 feet or the height of the existing structure, whichever is greater. Any portion of those structures located less than 75 feet from the normal high-water line of a water body, tributary stream, or upland edge of a wetland must meet the footprint and height limits in Section C.1.d.2.i above.

iii. In addition to the limitations in subsections (i) and (ii), for structures that are legally nonconforming due to their location within the Resource Protection District when located at less than 250 feet from the normal high-water line of a water body or the upland edge of a wetland, the maximum combined total footprint for all structures may not be expanded to a size greater than 1,500 square feet or 30% larger than the footprint that existed at the time the Resource Protection District was established on the lot, whichever is greater. The maximum height of any structure may not be made greater than 25 feet or the height of the existing structure, whichever is greater, except that any portion of those structures located less than 75 feet from the normal high-water line of a water body, tributary stream, or upland edge of a wetland must meet the footprint and height limits in Section C.1.d.2.i above.

3. An approved plan for expansion of a nonconforming structure must be recorded by the applicant with the registry of deeds, within 35 days of approval. The recorded plan must show the existing and proposed footprint of the non-conforming structure, the existing and proposed structure height, the footprint of any other structures on the parcel, the shoreland zone boundary and evidence of approval by the municipal review authority. No building permit will be issued without proof that the approved plan was properly recorded at the registry of deeds.

Within 35 days of the public hearing, or 35 days of finding an application is complete, but no public hearing is required, the Planning Board shall reach a decision on a Conditional Use permit application and shall inform, in writing, the applicant, the Code Enforcement Officer and Municipal Officers of its decision and shall prepare a detailed finding of facts and conclusions.

GREATER LOVELL LAND TRUSTRobert Upton II—President

The Environmental Education Program of the Greater Lovell Land Trust (GLLT) is a signature program that offers a wide range of opportunities for people of all ages to enhance their connections to nature. In 2015, we partnered with the Lovell Recreation Department to offer “nature day” for the children in the Summer Recreation Program. Nearly two dozen kids met weekly with our volunteer nature interpreters at the Heald and Bradley Ponds Reserve to explore the natural world. Great fun was had by all and we look forward to the 2016 program. In addition, the GLLT staff continues to work with the students and teachers in the Maine Environmental Science Academy (MESA) at Molly Ockett Middle School to develop and deliver curriculum to aid in their learning throughout the school year. This fall’s visit to the Kezar Outlet Fen was a huge hit, labeled by some of the students as ”the best MESA day ever!” and highlighted by a visit from the resident flock of Sandhill Cranes and cruise by visit by a Northern Harrier and topped off with gallons of wild fresh cranberries for every family.

The GLLT has an enthusiastic and talented group of volunteer docents that offer weekly guided walks throughout the summer and periodically through the rest of the year. These are a great way to get outdoors, in lovely settings with family and friends to meet new folks and share a love for nature. I encourage everyone to discover something new and interesting this year from these dedicated and knowledgeable folks.

I am happy to announce that this spring the GLLT will be expanding its Environmental Education Program to offer families extended stays in nature. The GLLT owns 64 acres surrounding Whitney Pond in Stoneham which includes an off-the-grid cabin. The cabin will be made available, by reservation for three-seven day stays and beginning Feb , 2016 through an online reservation system. The Board of Directors views this as a great opportunity for families to spend extended time in a peaceful and pleasant natural setting and a natural extension of the Education Program. Nightly fees have been established in an attempt to make this educational endeavor affordable to all that would like the experience of time spent at Whitney Pond. Stay tuned for details or contact us as stated below.

We continue to work with landowners who seek to set aside their special places for specific and limited uses now and into the future. In 2015 we worked with families at Lower Bay and in Albany at the Stoneham town line to restrict uses on a total of 102 acres, in two of our priority Focus Areas. We look forward to meeting and exploring options with others in 2016.

HELEN R. COE TRUSTIn 2015, the Coe Trust Governing Committee disbursed funds from the Trust, including loans to 20 students totaling $85,000.00. Unfortunately, the Committee was again unable to provide grants for non-profit organizations serving the Lovell area due to the unavailability of funds in 2014. Interest-free loans to students pursuing post-secondary education are available from the Trust to Lovell residents and are based on demonstrated need.

Students and organizations interested in receiving help from the Trust can get further information and application forms at the Lovell Town Office.

The Governing Committee:

Ed Ryan, Chairman Joseph Dorner, Secretary Linda Dunlea

LEWIS DANA HILL MEMORIAL LIBRARYP.O. Box 92, Center Lovell, Me 040162079 Main Street, Lovell, ME 04051

To The Board of Selectmen,

Please consider this letter as a request of The Lewis Dana Hill Memorial Library for the amount of $6000.00 for the upcoming year. With ever changing needs of the build-ing, we have managed to keep it in good physical shape with the help and support of the town. We have strived to maintain the traditions of the library while bringing new technology to the patrons of the facility.

This was a very special year for the library, celebrating our 70th anniversary. In that light, we were so pleased to have our fund raising events well attended. Our fourth annual “Cabin Fever Breakout Breakfast” was held in the very late winter, bringing friends together to enjoy the delicious array of food and visit after a long winter. The July fourth Flea Market and cookie sale. held in conjunction with the Lovell Lions’ Club Breakfast, was well attended. Having two service organizations working together to raise money to support our causes has proven to be popular and profitable. This is our biggest fund raiser of the year and we are constantly amazed by the patronage of the sale. The library was represented at Lovell’s Old Home Day, serving lemon-ade, selling tee-shirts, books and notecards. At our annual Open House, we were fortunate to have Retired Game Warden, John Ford and Retired State Policeman, Mark Nickerson, regaling the audience with their humorous and adventurous tales of their life’s work. Our summer visitors are increasing in numbers, as are our year round residents and the continued (free) wi-fi access 24 hours a day encourages more visits. Several programs have been offered to educate the patrons on the use of their electronic readers. The winter celebration, Yuletide Patron Appreciation Day, caps off the year with a gathering of friends and neighbors for the chance to visit and check out the latest in reading and viewing pleasure during the cold months. This has all been possible with the funds that are raised by our board members and the townspeople of Lovell and surrounding towns. We are pleased to report the continued increase of readership, patronage and mem-bership this last year. We are continuing to keep the library open an extra afternoon a week during the winter months, making Tuesday afternoons, as well as, Saturday mornings available to our patrons. The Board of Trustees would like to thank the townspeople of Lovell for their continued support of the library. We are grateful that in this day of computers, “e-readers,” and communication technology, we still provide our friends and neighbors with a place to meet, to borrow books and movies, and enjoy the facility. Our winter hours are: Tuesdays (1-3pm) and Saturdays (9-noon). After Memorial Day, the added hours are on Thursdays (5-7pm). Thank you for considering this 2016 request. Sincerely,

Kathleen C. Vachowski, Acting Chairman, Board of Trustees

LOVELL HISTORICAL SOCIETY2015 ANNUAL REPORT

2015 was another great year for the Society. We added new members, held four community events, and published our quarterly newsletter. We continued to provide free research assistance to all, updated our website monthly, and added to our collection. We also continued to assist other area historical societies in their development – twelve organizations to date have visited our facilities.

The Society’s hours of operation are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am to 4pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12pm. These are our official hours, but you might notice we are open many more hours than that. All are welcome to stop by at any time the building is open. You can investigate town history, conduct genealogical research, or just enjoy the museum display. Additionally, feel free to make an appointment at any time. We can be reached at 925-3234 or by email – lovellhistoricalsociety@gmail.com.

Don’t forget that the Society has more than 12,000 collection records online at our website – www.lovellhistoricalsociety.org. The site, which was recently revamped to make it more user friendly on mobile devices, has over 9,000 images to view as well as information on our archival material and library collections. We update the collection records monthly and encourage you to contact us regarding additions or corrections. If you would like to add fam-ily photos, we would be more than glad to receive them or scan them and promptly return them to you. Our website also features a documents link where you can view transcriptions of Lovell’s vital records, early maps, and recently updated cemetery records. Check it out!

These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and dedication of the townspeople. Your contributions, which have taken many different forms, are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Sincerely, Catherine Stone, President

LOVELL VOLUNTEER FIRE CO. INC.P.O. Box 37 Center Lovell, ME 04051

To the citizens of Lovell,

On behalf of the Lovell Volunteer Fire Company (LVFD), I submit this report for your information. It is with the greatest gratitude and appreciation that we express our sincere thanks for your support during the past year. This continuous magnificent support allows us to provide service to our great community.

To assist all of the area emergency responders, please consider posting your street number in an extremely conspicuous location outside your residence or at the end of your driveway. This saves precious time in the event you have an emergency as the responders can pinpoint your dwelling without delay. Thank you!

This past year was very busy one for the LVFD. We were fortunate to be awarded a number of grants that have enabled us to achieve some significant accomplishments. We received almost $2,500 from the Maine State Forest Service through the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) program. This program provides funding based on a 50/50 match from the community. The money was used for the installation of a number of hydrants around town.

In an effort to protect the health and safety of our firefighters from the many hazards they face during an emergency response, we sought funds from FEMA under their Assistance to Firefighter Grant Program (AFG) for a complete laundry system that meets the requirement of the NFPA. This is not your ordinary washer and dryer but rather a specialized system designed to extract toxins from the turnout gear to help reduce the threat from cancer. It was fantastic that we were awarded a grant for more than $16,000 to pay for this project.

Good fortune continued as we applied for a received a grant from the Stephen & Tabitha King Foundation in the amount of $30,000 designated for the purchase of new air packs. This generous donation allowed us to acquire the latest pack model on the market, the MSA G1, which provides state of the art breathing apparatus. It will further help to keep our responders safe.

We were also awarded a grant from the Maine Municipal Association Risk Management Service under their Safety Enhancement Program, receiving funds to purchase a new 4-gas meter for the monitoring of dangerous gas like CO. Our single old meter was obsolete and unreliable. After speaking with some of our generous residents, additional funds arrived enabling us to purchase two meters. We now have 3 and shall never be without a CO meter in a time of need. Thank you!

Our budget for the coming year is up by 5% overall as we find our cost of equipment

52

and maintaining the apparatus ever increasing. We truly make every effort to hold the line and keep cost under control, pursuing various revenue sources to fund the necessary additional gear and equipment needed to protect our firefighters and community.

The volunteer members of the fire department contribute countless hours to the community so that all may be safe. It is with the deepest appreciation, that I thank each and every one of them for the tremendous effort that they give to our community. This year we recognized Charles Lusky as Volunteer of the Year, which was well deserved. Thank you, Charles! Also recognized were numerous members for their contribution and years of service.

The future of the volunteer fire department looks bright with the continuing efforts of all in the community towards both fire safety and personal safety. That said, times are changing and it is becoming increasingly difficult to turn out volunteers. We need more firefighters and volunteers to continue to sustain the department. Being a volunteer emergency responder is about one thing. It doesn’t matter what you look like, whether or not you have a degree, or where you come from. It’s about heart. If you’ve got the heart to serve this community in a way that few can, you’ve got everything the LVFD needs. “Find the Fighter in You.” For more information, please contact us.

Thank you, be safe!

Respectfully,

Tommie C. McKenzieFire Chieffirechief@lovellvolunteerfire.com

Kezar Lake Watershed Association 2015 Established in 1969 to preserve and protect Kezar Lake and its watershed, the KLWA is governed by an elected Board of Trustees that are selected to represent all areas of the Lake and bordering towns. To summarize our 2015 activities:

Our annual water quality monitoring program results indicated near record levels of clarity.

We continued to sponsor our Lake Patrol to encourage safe and

responsible boating. We also provided supplemental funding to the Town for incremental Warden Service presence on the Lake.

Our Climate Change Observatory (CCO) funded a study for the Town to

identify culverts needing replacement or repair to reduce the risk of polluting run-off into the watershed. The survey of culverts was conducted jointly by the Town’s Public Works Dept. and the KLWA.

With the help of Plymouth State University, we completed a core sampling

of Kezar Lake to determine how the Lake has been affected by environmental impacts for the past 200 years.

We up-graded our website (klwa.us) which includes the latest information

on water quality and the CCO Annual Report; and

We held a well-attended meeting at the Library in September to update residents on the US Forest Service’s Albany South timbering project, which could impact the Great Brook watershed and Kezar Lake.

Plans for 2016 include continuing our programs of water quality monitoring; Lake Patrol; placement of loon platforms on the Lake to encourage propagation of chicks; and our on-going community education and outreach programs. Additionally, we will be evaluating and commenting on the US Forest Service’s Environmental Assessment Report on Albany South due to be released in March 2016. We wish to thank the community and the Town for their support. We welcome your input and hope you will consider volunteering for the KLWA. And we invite you to attend our Annual Meeting on July 9, 2016. Jim Stone, President

LOVELL OLD HOME DAYS

Lovell Old Home Days continues to provide a fun time for both residents and visitors. Activities for children of all ages are spread throughout the Athletic Field and local organizations pridefully exhibit information about their mission. Last summer, the impressive Boat Show sponsored by LIPPC, was enjoyed by many. And the parade, with greater participation from enthusiastic groups, gets bigger and better. The Lovell Old Home Days 5k run continues to raise significant funds for both the Recreation Department and the Parade. Runners, parade participants and spectators all comment on the enthusiastic crowds that line the route to the finish line.

A new and popular event, the Saturday breakfast sponsored by the Lovell Masons, is here to stay! The Masons generously donate all proceeds from the breakfast to community charities.

The Committee would like to thank everyone who contributes to the success of Lovell Old Home Days. Planning is currently underway for this summer’s event to be held on July 16th. We welcome ideas, suggestions, and feedback. We are always looking for more volunteers so please let us know if you would like to participate in anyway.

KEZAR TRAILBREAKERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB

The Kezar Trailbreakers had a decent year in 2014-2015. We held our annual Poker Rally on March 8th and had an average turnout. Trails were well groomed and everyone seemed to have a good time. Thank you to all who donated, participated and helped out with the rally.

We do several fundraisers throughout the year to help with all the expenses associated with the cost of maintaining safe and well groomed trails. We are hoping to have our Poker Rally this year but may only be a cookout if anything, and a golf tournament in August. All this could not be possible without the generosity of landowners, Lovell residents, businesses and tourists. The fundraisers are always a good time and I encourage everyone to come out and support the club. Anyone interested in volunteering at any of our events or helping with trail maintenance, contact the club President, Lori Bennett.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support. It is greatly appreciated!

PLANNING BOARDThe Planning Board approved two applications for Conidtional Use Permits this year. One was for a new barn in the shoreland district, the second was for the new salt and sand storage building for the Public Works Department.

The board held one special meeting this year which was devoted to in-service training. A representative from the State Department of Environmental Protection took us through a variety of issues relating to reconstruction or replacement of non-conforming buildings in the shoreland zone. This was a most instructive day for all board members.

For several meetings the board worked on proposals for amending the Zoning Ordinance to be presented at town meeting for voter action. These relate mostly to matters of non-conformity, and are based in part on the state’s latest Shoreland Zoning Guidelines.

We also devoted time to hearing presentations from guest speakers on the possible effects of climate changes on the town over the next thirty to fifty years. We heard about what is being done or is needed to deal with some of these effects.

Regular meetings of the board are held on the first Wednesday of each month at the Town Office starting at 7:00 PM. All board meetings are open and the public is welcome.

CHARLOTTE HOBBS MEMORIAL LIBRARY2015 Annual Report to The Town of Lovell

Our Mission: The Library brings people, information, and ideas to-gether to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen our community. This annual report affords the opportunity to share our success at fulfilling our mission, to thank the citizens of Lovell for their past generosity through the town’s annual budget process, and to request 2016 funding from the Town of Lovell.

Comparative Statistics: Overall, in 2015 we were open approximately 2,500 hours and welcomed our patrons 21,656 times. Considering the populations of Lovell and the surrounding rural towns we serve, this and the following statistics are extraordinary. 2012 2013 2014 2015People using library 19,170 20,230 20,855 21,656Circulation 26,048 29,015 29,619 28,188Programs (includes non-library) 257 403 530 502Program attendance 6,470 8,057 8,618 8,634

The Library continues to attract a large, diverse and devoted community of patrons with its impressive collections, educational and entertaining programs, and welcoming environment. Growing numbers of people continue to come to the Library to read, write, search the web, listen and learn, grow vegetables and flowers, draw and paint, knit, play cribbage, meditate and do yoga, and more.

2016 Operating Budget Request: We request a contribution of $43,000 from the Town of Lovell toward our 2016 operating budget of $126,565. The Library’s 2015 operating costs of $116,973 and the 2016 operating budget follow this narrative report. Based on past financial reports and experience, the Library’s 2015 year-end Annual Appeal, fundraising events including the Arts and Artisan’s Fair and the Book Cellar, foundation grants, and an endowment transfer should cover the rest of our anticipated 2016 operating costs.

We greatly appreciate and thank our Director, Anna Romer, for her outstanding leadership, Assistant Librarian Rosie White, Desk Staff--Marie Barker, Pat Gibson, Ruth Hodgkins and Irene St. Germain, and Children’s Program Staff--Liz McCann, Kerry Jordan, Deanna Wilson for their consistently extraordinary work. We also thank the many volunteers, too numerous to count or name, who are the heart of the Library. Last, the Town of Lovell receives our continued gratitude for the confidence shown us by its stable financial support each year, approximately 34% of our operating costs. Thank you all.

Library Board of Trustees: Dell Foss-President, Julie Frum-Vice President, Lynn Hurd, Jack Jones, Linda Legere, Jeanne Ouellette, Kathy Reilly, Al St. Germain-Treasurer, David Sears, Jesse Stevens, Jane Williams-Secretary, and Linda Wurm.

LOVELL CONSERVATION COMMISSION 2015The Conservation Commission continues to sponsor Lovell youths to the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond for a week of conservation education in a fun summer setting. We have been fortunate to secure grants from Maine Inland, Fish and Wildlife moose hunt lottery proceeds to make these scholarships available.

The planting of flowers continues at the intersection of Rte. 93/ Rte. 5, Minuteman Park (next to the Library), North Lovell Library and the Town Office.

LOVELL INVASIVE PLANT PREVENTION COMMITTEE (LIPPC)

LIPCC is a year round volunteer committee whose sole responsibility is to prevent invasive aquatic plants from entering our watershed. There are currently forty-six invasive plant infestations in Maine. Once invasive plants enter a body of water they are tremendously difficult to remove. Variable Leaf Milfoil, an invasive plant, was found in our own Cushman Pond in the late 1990’s and eradication efforts are still under way.

PREVENTIONPrevention comes from a strong Courtesy Boat Inspection Program (CBI). The source of most of the introductions of invasive aquatic plants is boats, motors and trailers that move from lake to lake. Our CBI program is our first line of defense. The program starts up after ice out and goes into October. It is one of the longest running programs in the state. In 2015, we inspected 2,698 boats and logged in 2,791 inspection hours up 8% over 2014. Inspectors found 34 plants and all were non-invasive. There were 83 volunteer inspection hours logged in 2015. Three groups: Stearns Road Association, the Kezar Lake Watershed Association (KLWA), and the Greater Lovell Land Trust (GLLT) all adopted the ramp for a day. We sincerely appreciate all of those that volunteered and hope to get many more road associations and organizations to sign up to adopt a day at the ramp in the coming year.

Prevention also includes our Education and Awareness Committee. The more members of the community that become knowledgeable about the danger of invasive plants and what they look like, the better our chances are for keeping our lakes and ponds clear. Our programs reach out to all age groups. Plant identification workshops with real invasive plants, Science in the Sand with the Lovell Recreation Swim program and a plant derby at Lovell Old Home Days were a few of our educational programs during the year.

DETECTIONEarly detection is key to eradication. LIPPC developed the Stewards Program to provide a means of early detection for every lake and pond in the watershed. The Kezar Lake Watershed is one of the only programs in the state that can boast of 100% shoreline coverage. We currently have 56 “stewards” or volunteers that patrol a portion of shoreline to check for invasive plants. Throughout the state, the majority of invasive plant findings have come from individuals on the lake, making this group of volunteers tremendously important.

In addition, an invasive aquatic plant survey of our entire watershed, all lakes and ponds, is conducted over a three year rotational cycle. Every year 1/3 of the watershed is inspected and the critical areas such as boat launches are inspected every year. This past year, Kezar Lake (Upper Bay, Middle Bay and the Narrows) and the high risk areas were surveyed in the fall. We are happy to report that NO invasive plants were found. In 2016, Kezar Lake’s Lower Bay, Bradley Pond, Heald Pond and high risk areas will be surveyed.

ERADICATIONThe local Cushman Pond Eradication Team completed 9 aquatic plant survey dives of Cushman Pond. The team found less than half as many invasive plants than the previous year. It appears their on going efforts are paying off but there is still work to do. The team has already scheduled 7 dives for 2016 and has set a goal of complete eradication by the end of 2019. LIPPC will continue its support of the Cushman Pond team in reaching this goal. We would like to thank the Town of Lovell and all the volunteers for their support. The work of LIPPC and its committees depend on volunteers, people like you. If you would like to learn more about this work and how you might help, please get in touch with any of the LIPPC members listed below.

Thank you,

Dear Friends of Lovell,

It has been a privilege to serve the State of Maine since being sworn into the U.S. Senate.

Much of my time in Washington this past year has been devoted to the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Select Committee on Intelligence. Protecting our homeland and the people of Maine from terrorism and violence remains one of my top priorities. Through my work on the Armed Services Committee, I was able to secure several provisions in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act that benefit Maine. The legislation authorized the construction of an additional DDG-51 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer that could be built at Bath Iron Works and expands the HUBZone program to stimulate economic growth at former military installations like the former Brunswick Naval Air Station.

Returning control to teachers, school districts, and states has also been a primary concern of mine. I am encouraged that the Every Student Succeeds Act has become law. It eliminates the burdensome requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act and ensures access to a quality education for all students. A provision I helped author in the bill will give states the opportunity to pilot the use of their own proficiency-based assessments in lieu of federally-mandated standardized tests. Also included in the bill are several measures I secured to promote local input, fund education technology initiatives, and explore new strategies to increase student access to the internet outside of school.

Communities across Maine have taken bold action to improve their broadband connectivity, and I have been proud to foster federal support for these types of projects. My amendments to the Every Student Succeeds Act will promote the type of work already occurring in Washington County, where students who lack broadband access are able to check out mobile hotspots from their local libraries. Additionally, a bill I co-sponsored, the Community Broadband Act, helped pave the way for the FCC to enact rules protecting the ability of municipalities to invest in better broadband. I am excited by Maine’s leadership on this important economic development issue and will continue to support local efforts in this area.

After extensive negotiations, the Senate passed a five-year transportation bill that will increase highway and transit funding in Maine and provide stability to improve our transportation infrastructure. The legislation contains provisions I cosponsored to cut red tape and improve predictability and timeliness by streamlining the federal permitting process for large infrastructure projects. Also incorporated in this bill are my provisions to relieve financial regulations on Maine’s community banks and credit unions and to

68

reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, a critical tool that supports communities and small business across the state.

Following my inquires in the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the National Park Service has announced they will begin exploring strategies to allow park visitors to purchase electronic passes online and will pilot the program at Arcadia National Park. These passes would improve access to our nation’s most treasured landscapes and would generate resources for years to come. I remain deeply engaged in preserving Maine’s natural beauty and strengthening our outdoor recreation economy.

It is with solemn responsibility that I have focused my energy addressing the opioid epidemic in Maine. This work includes convening roundtables with a wide range of health care and law enforcement professionals to combat addiction; introducing a proposal to safely dispose of excess prescription drugs; cosponsoring a Senate-passed bill that addresses mothers struggling with addiction and the alarming effect it has on newborns; cosponsoring the TREAT Act, which expands the ability of medical specialists to provide life-saving medication-assisted therapies for patients battling heroin and prescription drug addiction; and calling on the Commander of U.S. Southern Command to increase efforts to stop the flow of heroin at our southern border.

I like to think of Maine as a big small town - and in a small town, the leaders are accessible and eager to listen. In that spirit, I’ve made it a priority to stay connected with people from all over Maine who e-mail, write, and call with suggestions or questions. If I can ever assist in your interaction with a federal agency, or you have thoughts, concerns or personal input on a matter that is currently before Congress I hope you will contact me, let me know where you stand, and engage in this critical part of democracy. Please call my toll-free line at 1-800-432-1599 or one of my offices: Augusta (207) 622-8292, Presque Isle (207) 764-5124, Scarborough (207) 883-1588, or Washington, D.C. (202) 224-5344. You can also write me on our website at www.king.senate.gov/contact.

As always, I am honored to represent the people of Maine and look forward to working with you for the betterment of our great state.

Sincerely,

ANGUS S. KING, JR.UNITED STATES SENATOR
