  • Gardiner Tightens Leash
    Page 1 1 of 119 DOCUMENTS Kennebec Journal October 18, 2018 Thursday Gardiner tightens leash BYLINE: JESSICA LOWELL SECTION: Pg. 1.A ISSN: 07452039 LENGTH: 662 words DATELINE: Augusta, Me. FULL TEXT Gardiner officials are expected to vote on a measure that would tighten up the city's leash law to require that dogs be on leashes in parks and public areas. City officials OK move requiring all dogs leashed GARDINER -- Even as Gardiner elected officials voted Wednesday to impose a citywide leash law, they also agreed to form a committee to recommend revisions to it. That move reflects the difference in interests between those who live in Gardiner's more densely populated areas and those who live in more rural neighborhoods. Since August, city officials have heard from residents about dog attacks and bites in and around downtown Gardiner and at Waterfront Park. As a result, the City Council has been considering a change to the city's ordinance to require dogs to be on leashes unless they are on their owners' property or on the property of someone who permits them to be off the leash. At a public hearing two weeks ago and again Wednesday, Peter Giampetruzzi brought his objec- tions to city officials. "It's a knee-jerk reaction to a singular incident," Giampetruzzi said. "It's an erosion of my liberty and a deteri- oration of my quality of life in Gardiner." He noted that the ordinance would restrict the actions of law-abiding dog owners and would be ignored by those who were not responsible.

  • Strong and Steady Turnout on Election Day in Fryeburg
    Page 1 1 of 89 DOCUMENTS The Caledonian-Record (Vermont) June 12, 2018 Tuesday Strong and steady turnout on election day in Fryeburg BYLINE: Staff Writer SECTION: REGIONAL LENGTH: 842 words FRYEYBURG, Maine -- Voters were coming through the American Legion doors at a steady pace to vote for local candidates and the Fryeburg marijuana ordinance on Tuesday, according to town election workers. Polls closed at 8 p.m., after Sun press deadlines. However, initial results will be posted on conwaydailysun.com. Full results and an analysis will appear in Thursday's paper. Tom Kingsbury, one of two candidates for an open Fryeburg selectman seat, greeted voters Tuesday outside the door to the polling place and said from what he saw, the turnout was good. "This morning by 8 a.m. there were already people out to here," he said gesturing to the front of the American Legion building. "Just putting the name with the face has probably gathered me a few votes so it's worthwhile me being here," said Kingsbury, 70. The other candidate for selectman is David Brown, 58. Ballots also were cast in other races. Mary Di Nucci, Nicole Goggin and Allison Leach were vying for two three-year terms on the MSAD 72 school board. An open Maine House District 70 seat was also on the ballot. Incumbent state Rep. Nathan Wadsworth of Hiram is unopposed on the Republican primary ballot. Hoping for his seat are Democrats Nathan Burnett of Hiram and Warren Richardson of Fryeburg. District 70 includes Fryeburg, Brownfield, Hiram, Porter and Lovell, Maine.

Provided the law remains on the books, unlike in 1997, it will Summer 2005 go a long way toward ending discrimination against LGBT people in jobs, hous­ ing, education, credit and public accommodations. Governor Baldacci signed the bill on March 31 and as he dotted the "i" in his name said, "It's the law." Although the group gathered for the signing was only big enough to fill a room, his words were heard around the state. Those words will undoubtedly be repeated and celebrated often when we finally uphold the law-which we fully expect to do this time.
