That last task might surprise many, but it comes with the town’s ownership of River- side Memorial Cemetery next to Spurwink Church. “It’s one of the most unique and impor- tant services we provide,” said Town Clerk Debra Lane, whose duties include working with cemetery trustees to oversee the cem- etery and selling burial lots. “Most people drive by and don’t think of the mechanics of it at all. But we take this responsibility very seriously.” The town has owned the cemetery for more than 65 years, since voters agreed to purchase it and assume control in 1945. Cemetery trustees are now in the process of updating a master plan to map out the future for the 27-acre site, which overlooks the Spurwink River and is bounded by Photo by Patricia McCarthy Spurwink Avenue and Route 77.

In the 1980s and early ’90s, we re- member him as host of MaineWatch, a weekly public television program that probed political and policy matters in Augusta and Washington. After the shutdown of Maine State government in 1991 and the hardening of partisanship in Augusta, he ran and won the gover- norship as an independent, pledging to work for bipar- tisan solutions to public issues. In eight years as the State’s Chief Executive, he succeeded in a broad range of areas. His administration oversaw the largest acquisition of conservation easements on private lands of any state in the nation. Maine became a leader in the use of the Internet to provide citizens with new ways to access State agencies for services and assistance. His successful effort to provide laptops for all middle school students placed Maine at the forefront nationally in integrating computers into public school instruction. During part of this period, the Maine Senate was Republican-controlled while the House was led by Democrats. The two chambers had widely differing ideas about the role of government and, especially, the content of the State budget. Still, Governor King was able to work successfully across party lines. As Michael Michaud, one of the two Senate leaders at that time and now Maine’s 2nd District Congressman said, “Governor King was one who could bring both sides together effectively.” The message of his time in Augusta seems to have in Washington.

  • Support of Clean Elections Is Good for Maine Politics
    EDITORIAL Support of Clean Elections is good for Maine politics Wednesday, October 31, 2012 Super PAC and PAC funds flooding this election cycle has been well-covered this year, but what has not garnered as much attention is the spending in Maine’s legislative races. Maine Citizens for Clean Elections released a report Friday showing that spending is on the rise – and it’s rising quickly. The findings, detailed in the “Preliminary Report on 2012 Campaign Money: Private Money Making A Comeback In Maine Elections,” show private spending is increasing at a rapid rate compared with past election years, while the rate of participation in the clean election system is declining. A major blow was dealt to Maine’s Clean Elections Act in 2011 when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision of Arizona’s clean election bill – which was modeled after Maine’s law – allowing for matching funds for legislative candidates using clean election funding. Despite efforts by MCCE and the Maine ethics commission to propose a “requalifying/tiered” option, which would allow candidates to qualify for additional funds without matching dollar for dollar, the Maine Legislature declined to implement the change. The result is a weaker system and now a loss of participation. Participation has dropped from 80 to 65 percent this year – a level not seen since 2002, according to MCCE. This change is leading to more money being spent – much more, in fact. In one local race, $23,734 has been spent, compared to $3,873 in 2010, according to October campaign spending reports analyzed by MCCE.
