Lisbon Historical Society—http://www.lisbonmainehistory.org Archive Hours—Thursdays 1 PM to 4 PM Meetings—Second Wednesdays of the Month, 7:00 PM In anticipation of the Town's bi-centennial, the present Lisbon Historical Society was organized in 1996. Both Bill Barr, a history buff, and Norm Fournier, then publisher of the Lisbon Enterprise, were instru­ mental in gathering townspeople interested in the history of the Lisbon area. They began collecting historical memorabilia and documents, and held an organizational meeting at the library, but soon moved to a room in the Enterprise building. When the MTM Center became a community resource, the historical society gained two rooms—one serving as a museum for its holdings, and a second room for files and research, as well as a place for the Society’s monthly meetings. The Society not only presents monthly programs at the MTM Center, but also maintains the old Ridge School House, restored and furnished as it would have been as a town district school in the old days. The Society’s volunteer staff actively collects and preserves material that promotes the understand­ ing of the history of the Lisbon area. This group has gathered an extensive collection of historical items, rang­ ing from documents, files, tools, and household goods, as well as many vital records, including obituaries, family histories and genealogies, clippings, pictures, and postcards. They also maintains items relating to school life, town businesses and personalities, and fraternal and military organizations. The collection is con­ stantly growing, and is a boon to preservationists and researchers. Stop by and visit us.

MAINE 04333-0001 Paul R LePage GOVERNOR January 9, 2013 Dear Lisbon Citizens: Maine has a great tradition of civil involvement and citizen participation in the decision making process. Thank you for taking the time to become informed. In the fall of 2011, a prominent national business magazine published a business climate ranking that put the country on notice that Maine is the toughest state in our nation to grow a business and create jobs. As a result of our challenging business climate, our per capita income is just 80 percent of the national average. One of my top priorities for getting Maine moving is regulatory reform. The objective is a cooperative approach to how the State and municipalities work with the private sector rather than a weakening of standards or oversight. This is why I have created a new "Certified Business Friendly Community" program which is geared towards helping towns reduce red tape, and work with our job creators. Plenty of good paying jobs and a growing tax base are what is needed to solve many of our public sector problems. Given the chance, Maine's private sector

If the person subsequently runs for office, the candidate must disclose the funds, goods and services as contributions in their first campaign finance report. They are subject to the same dollar amount limitations as contributions received after the individual becomes a candidate. The person must also disclose any payments made for the purpose of deciding whether to become a candidate. In 2017, U.S. Senator Susan Collins was giving consideration to running for Governor of Maine. Mr. John Jamieson of South Portland requests that the Commission investigate whether she received polling services that exceeded the $1,600 limitation applicable at that time. Sen. Collins responds that the polling was paid for by Collins for Senate (her U.S. Senate re-election committee) for a federal campaign purpose and she did not violate Maine Election Law. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Standard for Opening a Requested Investigation The Election Law authorizes the Commission to receive requests for investigation and to conduct an investigation “if the reasons stated for the request show sufficient grounds for believing that a violation may have occurred”: A person may apply in writing to the commission requesting an investigation as described in subsection 1.

  • How Trump Could Help Decide Who Wins Control of the Maine Senate
    Page 1 1 of 76 DOCUMENTS Bangor Daily News (Maine) September 25, 2018 Tuesday How Trump could help decide who wins control of the Maine Senate BYLINE: Michael Shepherd BDN Staff LENGTH: 1492 words Good morning from Augusta, where new sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump's Su- preme Court nominee and confusion about the job status of the deputy attorney general got us thinking about where the president is most and least popular in Maine. We sorted the results of the 2016 presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and Democrat Hillary Clinton by Maine Senate district. It reveals some parallels to national polling showing that under Trump, Re- publicans are increasingly struggling in suburban areas that they have held in the past. Maine is lukewarm on Trump as a whole. A recent poll from Suffolk University found a 41 percent approval rating for the president here, which effectively matched past polls from Morning Consult that put the state near the middle of the pack nationally on Trump. The subtle divisions in his approval could be a key factor in elections here. Some of the most interesting ones come when thinking about control of the Maine Senate, which is controlled by Republicans who hold just a 18-17 lead on Democrats. The smallest switch could flip it. There are eight districts where Trump won a majority of votes. The one where he was most popular is held by a Democrat. Trump, who won the 2nd Congressional District but lost Maine at large to Clinton, only won majorities in eight of Maine's 35 Senate districts.

As working people, we look for the Legislature to: • reflect our core values of fairness, solidarity and economic justice; • do everything within its power to support workers and their families; • and take proactive measures to create a just economy. The Maine AFL-CIO is a statewide federation of more than 160 local labor unions in Maine. We represent more than 40,000 Maine workers and retirees delivering public services or working at paper mills, shipyards, hospitals, construction sites, utilities, and in manyother industries. We represent these workers and their families at the Legislature, and we organize 2018 Maine AFL-CIO COPE Convention together year round for workers’ rights and economic justice. This legislative scorecard seeks to capture the votes that were of the greatest importance to working people in the second session of the 128th Maine Legislature (2018). It provides information on those bills and lets you know how your legislators voted. Our Legislative Committee and Executive Board carefully reviewed all the bills that came before the State Legislature and selected which bills to work on and to score. We hope you find the scorecard useful and that you will use it to hold your state legislators accountable.

  • Who We Are/ the Girls, by Tom Nolan, President-Elect About 16 Years Ago My Wife and I Visited Maine on Vacation
    Page | 1 Fall 2014 MeANA: Who We Are/ The Girls, by Tom Nolan, President-Elect About 16 years ago my wife and I visited Maine on vacation. Among other things, my wife was impressed by how much the people we met liked to talk about their home state. We both noticed how many people had dogs, and we met lots of them too. Soon after we returned home to Cincinnati, Ohio, we started talking about relocating to Maine. And somewhere along the way, we decided that getting a dog would be an appropriate first step. On Halloween of 1998 we welcomed our first girl. A beautiful, one and a half year-old black, Labrador retriever into our family. We named her Molly. We read lots of books, and talked to lots of people about how to be good humans. But really, we were in the darkest of nights on the subject. Fortunately, Molly was completely devoted to training her humans. For instance, she taught me about her separation anxiety by leaving me subtle clues throughout the house. After numerous trips to the hardware store to replace things like scratched-off paint, ripped carpets, and chewed-off doorknobs, I was fully aware that she didn’t like being alone. The next spring, we moved to Maine. You’d have thought that Molly was born here. She was a great hiker, camper and sailor. She liked swimming anywhere, anytime, even on cold winter days. Naturally, we developed friends who were dog families and we were advised (incorrectly) that two dogs were no more bother than one.

    Testimony before the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs LD 1211 – An Act To Amend the Laws Governing Legislative Political Action Committees April 10, 2017 Senator Mason, Representative Luchini, and members of the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs: Thank you for the opportunity to testify on LD 1211 – An Act To Amend the Laws Governing Legislative Political Action Committees. My name is Andrew Bossie. I am the Executive Director of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections. Maine Citizens for Clean Elections has been the leading campaign finance organization in Maine for over twenty years, and one of the nation’s most respected state-based organizations advocating for democratically funded elections. We are proud of our national reputation, but we are all Mainers, and our mission has always been with and for the people of this state. Last session, the legislature banned Clean Election candidates from having their own political action committees. Now it is time to finish that work and ban all candidates from having their own PACs. “Leadership PACs” were not created by state law – they were created years ago by legislators who took existing law allowing for plain-vanilla PACs and turned it to their own purposes. Leadership PACs were created because PACs have no contribution limits, and a personal PAC would therefore allow an elected legislator or legislative candidate to circumvent the limits that apply to individual candidate campaigns (currently $400 per election or $800 per cycle). Leadership PACs have become an all-too-effective way to get around the contribution limits law.

When Verla retired the Sun Journal did a story about Verla that really highlighted her life at Beaver Park. In the story, Verla stated that she didn’t hear a bird sing in the park for three years because they had all been shot. Even the bathroom was full of bullet holes, and at one point, even Verla was shot at. Verla grew up on a potato farm in Fort Fairfield.

  • 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.

  • School Spirit Week This Year’S Town Report Is Dedicated to Chief David Brooks Serving the Citizens of Lisbon for 42 Years
    Androscoggin River Trail Pee Wee Football Champs School Spirit Week This year’s Town Report is dedicated to Chief David Brooks Serving the citizens of Lisbon for 42 Years Chief Brooks began his career in Lisbon in 1974 and was appointed to serve as Police Chief in 1980 at 26 years old. Since his retirement on June 30, 2016 he and his wife Lynn are enjoying the extra time with family and friends. Scott Stewart said Chief Brooks was an excellent mentor and helped him get into law enforce- ment. Chief Brooks indicated he wore his uniform 94.5% of the time during his tenure here. He reported public safety needs were not declining and that there had been an increase need for services since 2014. With calls on the rise, he always pro- vided the best service possible with the equipment and person- nel available. Chief Brooks brought many fed- eral dollars to Lisbon which pur- chased equipment and funded many special programs, like the $1,500 we received to run the Buckle Up-No Excuses Seat Belt Enforcement and Education Campaign or the $3,900 for the 2016 Evidence Based Impaired Driving High Visibility Enforce- ment Grant Award. Lisbon was recognized as the 12th safest Community in Maine to live, due in large part to the leadership and employ- ees in our public safety departments and the safety initiatives and improvements we have made over the years. Thank you Chief Brooks for your dedication and commitment over the years to the citizens of Lisbon. We have truly benefited.
