Council Adopts New<br />
Town Budget<br />
Tax Rate<br />
Decreases Bill Ambrose<br />
The Town Council unanimously<br />
approved a new Town Budget for<br />
the <strong>2009</strong>/2010 fiscal year at its<br />
regular meeting on <strong>June</strong> 2.The combined<br />
School and Municipal budget<br />
will result in a mil rate of $15.90,<br />
down from the rate of $16.00 for the<br />
present fiscal year.The mil rate can be<br />
expressed as a percentage of assessed<br />
valuation; that is, 1.59% of the assessed<br />
value equals the total annual taxes on<br />
the property.<br />
The new School Budget, by far the<br />
largest part of the total Town Budget,<br />
was the same as the present year’s<br />
amount, $29,677,716. Due to an<br />
increase in state education aid, the<br />
new budget will call for a $.28 lower<br />
mil rate.The School Committee also<br />
agreed to pay for 2/3 of the expense<br />
of the two School Resource Police<br />
Officers.These officers were previously<br />
paid in full from the Public Safety<br />
part of the Municipal Budget.The savings<br />
from these items totals approximately<br />
$341,000.<br />
The Council was able to take some<br />

School Board Votes For MLTI<br />
Laptop Progrm Stacy Sallinen<br />
In a special meeting on May 27, the<br />
School Committee voted 5-0 (Marie<br />
South and Polly Shields not present)<br />
to participate in the Maine Learning<br />
Technology Initiative (MLTI) and<br />
expand the laptop program to high<br />
school students.<br />
The program requires a four year<br />
commitment, costing $213,000 per<br />
year.The cost of the first year has<br />
already been built into the FY10 budget<br />
through the Federal Stabilization<br />
Funds.These funds also help to provide<br />
updates to the electrical infrastructure<br />
and power supply for the<br />
laptops.At the end of the four-year<br />
term, the district will have the opportunity<br />
to buy out the leased laptops.<br />
The district will lease 880 laptops<br />
for students at the high school. In<br />
addition, 441 laptops will be provided<br />
to 7th and 8th grade students at the<br />
middle school and 130 laptops will go<br />
to teachers at the middle and high<br />
school, funded through the state<br />
Department of Education. Laptops<br />
which are currently being used by<br />
middle school students and staff were<br />
purchased through a buy-back program<br />
and will be provided to 6th<br />
grade and elementary students.<br />
<strong>Gorham</strong> looked at an alternative,<br />
less expensive plan which would provide<br />
one laptop to a group of 7-8 students<br />
but chose MLTI for several reasons.According<br />
to Dennis Crowe,<br />
Director of Technology and<br />
Information Systems, MLTI is “the best<br />
value for the dollar.”<br />
The initiative provides an Apple<br />
MacBook to every high school student.A<br />
four year warranty is provided<br />

World War II Veteran John<br />

Dear <strong>Gorham</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />
When Maynard Charron and I were<br />
on the School Committee, we talked<br />
about the concept of a town newspaper<br />
(15 years ago). I am so glad he moved<br />
ahead and made the concept a reality.<br />
For the town, I appreciate your effort<br />
with all the staff/volunteers keeping this<br />

NEWS FROM AUGUSTA<br />
Maine House Votes<br />
to “Free The Grapes”<br />
Linda Sanborn<br />
Alot of hard work has been done in<br />
Augusta this session.We have<br />
passed an extremely difficult budget,<br />
modified a number of times with<br />
decreasing revenues due to the economic<br />
times and with painful cuts to<br />
higher education, non-medical residential<br />
care for disabled children, juvenile<br />
courts, state employees, and much<br />
more. We are working on a tax reform<br />
bill with the principal goals of: 1)<br />
spurring economic development (by<br />
lowering income tax); 2) reducing the<br />
tax burden on Maine residents; and 3)<br />
Dear <strong>Gorham</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />
As a regular Scottish visitor to<br />
<strong>Gorham</strong>, I am always impressed by the<br />
pleasant service in the shops. However<br />
the "Maine" attraction for me is Cook's<br />
Hardware Store, where the service is<br />
"head and shoulders' above the rest. The<br />
staff there are exceptionally knowledgable,<br />
and invariably go out of their<br />
way to be helpful, no matter how minor<br />
the purchase.<br />
Well done, Cook's!<br />
William Sloss,<br />
Thurso, Scotland<br />
helping to stabilize<br />
state revenues,<br />
which is particularly<br />
pertinent to<br />
our current problem of exacerbated<br />
low state revenues during a recession.<br />
Some of the current work being done<br />
on this bill in progress are expanding<br />
benefits for elderly persons and incorporating<br />
the Circuit Breaker application<br />
into the income tax form (which is<br />
expected to enhance the participation<br />
rate for the Circuit Breaker).<br />
Understanding that difficult decision<br />
making is taking place, I thought I<br />
would write today about a lighter topic,<br />
that is, legislation that would allow<br />
Mainers to buy wine from other states.<br />
Surprisingly, the first email that I<br />
received as a legislator was about this<br />
topic. Like many others, I have traveled<br />
to Sonoma Valley, tasted a number of<br />
California wines, only to find that I cannot<br />
buy a few bottles and have them<br />
shipped to Maine. If the bill is passed by<br />
the Maine Senate (it has already passed<br />
in the House), Maine wine consumers<br />
could order wine from both the in-state<br />
and out-of-state vineyards, provided that<br />
the vineyard has a license to do business<br />
with Maine residents.Wine shipped to<br />
consumers would have to be conspicuously<br />
labeled, and could not be delivered<br />
to a recipient without valid photo<br />
identification that proves that the consumer<br />
is over 21 years of age.<br />
Rep. Melissa Walsh Innes, who sponsored<br />
this bill, says “Not only does this<br />
legislation increase choice for consumers<br />
who choose to order a special<br />
wine on occasion; it allows Maine to<br />
quick clicks<br />

Libby Road.<br />
earn additional and much-needed revenue.Allowing<br />
consumers to order<br />
wine should not adversely impact<br />
Maine small businesses, and Maine vineyards<br />
would have access to new markets.”<br />
It is estimated that Innes’ proposal<br />
would generate at least $100,000 in<br />
sales tax revenues during the first year.<br />
Nearly 40 other states already allow<br />
the direct shipment of wine to consumers.<br />
Under existing Maine law, only<br />
wholesalers may purchase wine from<br />
out-of-state sources.The Maine State<br />
Senate may consider LD 1008,An Act to<br />
Increase Consumer Choice in Wine, in<br />
the coming days.<br />

CHIEF SHEPARD REPORTS<br />
Al-Hamdany Pleas No Contest<br />
Abbas Al-Hamdany, of <strong>Gorham</strong>, has<br />
pleaded no contest to a charge of<br />
felony cocaine trafficking.Al-<br />
Hamdany, the former owner of Friendly<br />
Discount in Westbrook, told the judge "I<br />
was set up." He faces up to five years in<br />
prison and sentencing is set for August<br />
10. He arrived in the U.S. in 1994 and<br />
was convicted on federal cocaine trafficking<br />
charges in a separate incident in<br />
1998.According to Al-Hamdany's attorney,<br />
the no contest plea gives his client<br />
the best chance of returning to Iraq<br />
which is what Al-Hamdany says he<br />
wants to do.<br />
Jason Weaver, 39, of <strong>Gorham</strong>, was<br />
arrested <strong>June</strong> 3 on a charge of domestic<br />
violence assault and criminal threatening<br />
with a dangerous weapon after<br />
assaulting his former girlfriend at a<br />
home on New Portland Road. He was<br />
also charged with two additional<br />
counts of assault for attacking two<br />
other people at the house, one of<br />
whom was hit with a chair. None of the<br />
victims were seriously injured.<br />
Officer Brian Key<br />
noticed a man, Brian<br />
Flood, 32, walking<br />
on Ossipee Trail late<br />
at night, who<br />
seemed suspicious.<br />
After determining<br />
the man's identity,he<br />
was arrested on outstanding<br />
warrants for failing to pay<br />
fines.The following morning, Mike<br />
Wagner of Ossipee Trail Garden Center<br />
reported that several bags of peat moss<br />
and potting soil had been stolen<br />
overnight. Officer Mark Sanborn read<br />
through the logs and guessed that the<br />
two incidents might be related since<br />
Flood had been stopped close to the<br />
Garden Center. Sgt.DAnny Young and<br />
Officer Sanborn investigated and found<br />
a wagon with the missing potting soil<br />
and peat moss near the site of the previous<br />
arrest. Flood confessed to the<br />
theft and was charged with Theft and<br />
Criminal Trespass.All items were recovered.<br />
Limington Youth Killed on Dingley<br />
Spring Road Sheri Faber<br />
Randy Joe Morse, 18, of Limington<br />
was killed in an accident on<br />
Dingley Spring Road on <strong>June</strong> 3, 5<br />
p.m. Morse was riding on the trunk of<br />
a car being driven by his 21 year-old<br />
cousin,Alexander Morse of Hollis.The<br />
car was being driven at low speed.<br />
Morse jumped off the trunk to talk to<br />
someone. He landed on his feet but<br />
fell backwards striking his head on the<br />
pavement. He was taken to Maine Med<br />
where he was pronounced dead.<br />
Police have not found any evidence of<br />
drugs or alcohol.A report has been<br />
submitted to the District Attorney's<br />
office for possible prosecution on a<br />
charge of driving to endanger. It is up<br />
to the District Attorney to decide on<br />
possible prosecution.<br />
PLANNING BOARD REPORT<br />
Shaw Bros. Presents Amended<br />
Application Christine Ludwiczak<br />
Shaw Bros. Construction was back<br />
in front of the Board this month,<br />
presenting a second application for<br />
a Mineral Extraction permit for the<br />
Brickyard Quarry.Although initially<br />
approved by the Board, the Superior<br />
Court required further review of the<br />
hydro-geological study.<br />
The Town Attorney advised that the<br />
Superior Court issued a decision in the<br />
case Concerned Citizens of <strong>Gorham</strong> vs.<br />
Town of <strong>Gorham</strong>.The court found that<br />
the Board’s initial approval was consistent<br />
with the comprehensive plan; however,<br />
found that the applicant lacked<br />
submission of sufficient items necessary<br />
for a determination to be made around<br />
the ground water.<br />
The applicant amended the application,<br />
correcting deficiencies identified<br />
in the prior decision and came before<br />
the Board with an amended application,<br />
providing additional materials and information.<br />
A public hearing was held, including<br />
a modified site plan showing depth of<br />
ground water and a hydro-geological<br />
report showing impact on the ground<br />
water.<br />
The Town Attorney noted that,<br />
although an issue had been raised as to<br />
whether the hydro-geological report<br />
was sufficient in terms of representing<br />
the impact on surface water, the<br />
Superior Court ruled the applicant had<br />
submitted sufficient material.<br />
Board Chair Susan Robbie clarified<br />
that the only issue being addressed that<br />
evening was the adequacy of the hydrogeological<br />
study, particularly determinations<br />
around location of the groundwater<br />
and quality assurance of that ground<br />
water.<br />

may not be awarded the grant; without<br />
grant money these projects will<br />
not happen.<br />
Chief Lefebvre gave a presentation of<br />
the project:<br />
• Three towns, <strong>Gorham</strong>, Buxton and<br />
Windham will work together to benefit<br />
all.The project will replace four stations<br />
with two to reduce operating<br />
costs and will be paid for with grant<br />
money or not built.<br />
• Little Falls will be a joint project with<br />
Windam and will serve as <strong>Gorham</strong>’s<br />
Central Fire Station.All apparatus will<br />
move to this station with exception of<br />
one ladder truck to remain at Main<br />
Street. Estimated cost is $6.5 million.<br />
Reduction in costs from this joint venture<br />
is estimated at $350 – 400 thousand<br />
dollars annually for <strong>Gorham</strong>.<br />
• The West <strong>Gorham</strong> station will be a<br />
joint project with Buxton.All apparatus<br />
from the existing station will move<br />
to the new station.A rescue unit may<br />
also be moved into this site. Estimated<br />
cost is $ 2.2 million. Operating<br />
expenses would drop 50% and allow<br />
the student program to expand.<br />
Cole addressed questions by reminding<br />
residents that:<br />
• <strong>Gorham</strong> will continue to have a fire<br />
station at Main Street meaning no<br />
change in service to the Village.<br />
• Fire Insurance rates are set by the<br />
Insurance Service Office (ISO) which<br />
evaluates the town to determine rates.<br />
The ISO does not anticipate a change<br />
in rates.<br />
• Funds to pay Town costs will come<br />
from: 1) The 2005 referendum to<br />
move Town offices included money to<br />
update Little Falls School and the<br />
Central Fire station. 2) The west<br />
<strong>Gorham</strong> station will require the purchase<br />
of land which will come from<br />
the existing Land Acquisition Reserve<br />
Fund.<br />
Public comment:<br />
• David Alexander spoke against the<br />
plan, stating the South Windham station<br />
is not “falling into the river.” Also<br />
that this was not forward thinking as<br />
the White Rock station was originally<br />
funded and created by the White<br />
Rock community so as not to be<br />
dependent on the Little Falls station.<br />
Little Falls is not the center of <strong>Gorham</strong><br />
and wondered if this was <strong>Gorham</strong>’s<br />
bridge to nowhere.<br />
• Rick Willey asked about a rescue unit<br />
in the Main Street station to service<br />
the Village, especially <strong>Gorham</strong> House<br />
and voiced concern about rescue<br />
response times for all of <strong>Gorham</strong> from<br />
Little Falls. Cole responded that all of<br />
the particulars of rearranging employees<br />
had not been worked out yet.<br />
Several Councilors commented favorably<br />
so as not to raise taxes at a later<br />
date when new facilities are imminent.<br />
Councilor Phinney pointed out the<br />
Council will be involved in the planning;<br />
this is a referendum to apply for<br />
the funding, plans are still in the works.<br />
Also <strong>Gorham</strong> encompasses a large<br />
growing area, not just the village.<br />
Councilor Robinson stated <strong>Gorham</strong> uses<br />
grant money for many other things and<br />
this has been on the agenda, but continually<br />
pushed down due to lack of funds.<br />
Councilor Csoros spoke against the<br />
proposal stating the Federal<br />
Government is running out of money,<br />
we should invest in ourselves through<br />
State Efficiency funds rather than stimulus<br />
money. He finalized by stating “we<br />
don’t need to tack this on to our grandchildren’s<br />
deficit.”<br />
School Budget - Committee Chairman<br />
Dennis Libby presented the school<br />
budget. He stated that the FY09 is a<br />
decrease from the amount the year<br />
before, decreasing the burden on the<br />
tax payers. After many made comments<br />
regarding specific areas with the final<br />
vote being in favor of the school budget<br />
7-1 (Csoros)<br />
Municipal Budget - included much<br />
discussion about several amendments to<br />
the budget.There were many comments<br />
that next year’s budget will be even<br />
more difficult. Changes were made at<br />
no increase to tax payers. Some included:<br />
• A 2% pay increase for town employees.Amendment<br />
passed 6-1 (Csoros).<br />
• Town Clerk’s Office will maintain the<br />
same hours as before budget reduction,<br />
approved 7-0.<br />
• Police headcount will remain the<br />
same as before budget reduction,<br />
approved 5-2 (Minor, Csoros).<br />
• EMT/Firefighter headcount will<br />
remain the same as before budget<br />
reduction, approved 7-0.<br />

PLANNING BOARD FROM PAGE 4<br />
Technics spoke for Shaw Brothers<br />
Construction, providing supplemental<br />
information on the contours and depth<br />
of the ground water. He presented additional<br />
site plans, based on ground water<br />
elevation, in order to meet intent of<br />
town ordinance.<br />
Robie ensured all ordinance requirements<br />
for the study were addressed for<br />
both the depth of ground water<br />
throughout the site and confirmation<br />
that the operation would not cause pollution<br />
to ground or surface water.“We<br />
are charged with making sure technical<br />
information present in this amendment<br />
establishes that there will not be any<br />
pollution to this ground water.”<br />
Board member Mark Stelmack asked<br />
for further confirmation around possible<br />
pollution, pointing out that,“The<br />
fact that there are no drinking wells<br />
identified within 1,000 feet of the quarry<br />
doesn’t mean the quarry isn’t going<br />
to cause ground water contamination or<br />
pollution. It can still cause it; it won’t be<br />
an impact because there are no wells in<br />
the area.”<br />
The applicant is in the process of<br />
gathering water quality data pursuant to<br />
DEP guidelines. Sebago Technics advised<br />
that the process entails <strong>12</strong> months of<br />
water quality testing, they have completed<br />
nine. Results will be submitted<br />
with the final application.<br />
In order to compare findings of the<br />
study, the board also had R.W. Gillespie<br />
& Assoc. conduct an independent<br />
assessment of the site.<br />
Members of the community<br />
addressed the Board, expressing concerns<br />
around contamination and longterm<br />
affects of the project. Jennifer<br />
Everett asked for further clarification on<br />
the pollution factor. She reiterated<br />
Stelmack’s reasoning that, even without<br />
direct impact, contamination can still<br />
exist.“We should have concerns outside<br />
of just the drinking water,” she said.<br />
“There are rivers and brooks nearby.<br />
I don’t want to see those waters<br />
polluted.”<br />
The Board ultimately approved the<br />
applicant’s request, pending conditions.<br />
Public hearing on the new<br />
Elementary School was postponed, per<br />
request of the School Department, until<br />
the July 6 meeting, or for later this<br />
month, if a second <strong>June</strong> meeting is<br />
required.<br />

<strong>Gorham</strong> Bypass to<br />
Close Temporarily Bill Ambrose<br />
It was recently announced by Town<br />
Manager David Cole that the <strong>Gorham</strong><br />
Bypass would be closed for approximately<br />
three weeks beginning on<br />
Monday, <strong>June</strong> 8.The new roadway, officially<br />
opened in December 2008, has<br />
been much appreciated by town residents<br />
for the improvement of traffic<br />
congestion from the center of<br />
<strong>Gorham</strong> Village.<br />
The Maine Department of<br />
Transportation (MDOT) said that the<br />
reasons for the closure are the need to<br />
install new curbing at the roundabout<br />
on Narragansett Street and to repair<br />
roadway settlement problems in the<br />
vicinity of the Flaggy Meadow Road<br />
bridge. In addition, the entire road will<br />
be repaved except for the roundabouts<br />
at South Street and Route 25.<br />
MDOT engineer Jim Ferguson, who<br />
is the project manager, stated that an<br />
adjustment at the Narragansett roundabout<br />
will provide a transition from<br />
vertical to sloped granite curbs, making<br />
it easier for large trucks to navigate<br />
the circle.The level of the roundabout<br />
pavement will also be raised.At<br />
Flaggy Meadow Road, temporary<br />
shims will be installed to prevent further<br />
settlement of the road.<br />
Shaw Brothers Construction, Inc.<br />
and its subcontractor will perform the<br />
necessary remediation. It is anticipated<br />
that the bypass will be reopened on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 29.<br />
New Village Playground<br />

A new improved playground was recently unveiled at Village School. Last fall, the<br />
<strong>Gorham</strong> School Committee voted to demolish the old playground due to safety concerns<br />
with pressure treated wood. Construction began this spring and the playground was<br />
reopened to Village students mid-May.<br />

WWII VETERAN FROM PAGE 1<br />
tary during WWII and was not able to<br />
attend the original ceremony that took<br />
place almost 65 years ago.<br />
“How can we thank generations of<br />
Americans for their courage, sacrifice<br />
and devotion to duty? We can begin by<br />
thanking them one veteran at a time,<br />
and that is what we are here to do.To<br />
thank John for his service,” stated Sen.<br />
Collins.<br />
The medals Dumbrocyo received<br />
included:WWII Victory Medal, European<br />
African Middle Eastern Campaign,Army<br />
Good Conduct Medal, Honorable<br />
Service Lapel Button,Army of<br />
Occupation Medal with Germany Clasp,<br />
and Marksman Badge with Rifle Bar.<br />
Dumbrocyo’s son, John Jr., pointed<br />
out to members of the local American<br />
Legion Posts 60 and 197 that John had<br />
never received his medals. Once this<br />
was realized, wheels were put into<br />
motion to honor Dumbrocyo for his<br />
service. Unfortunately his military<br />
medical records has not been located<br />
at the time of the ceremony, but once<br />
they are Dumbrocyo will also most<br />
likely also receive the Purple Heart for<br />
wounds sustained during the Battle of<br />
the Bulge.<br />
Service to the Country runs in the<br />
family as both of Dumbrocyo’s brothers,<br />
Guy and George, also WWII<br />
Veterans, were present to witness the<br />
ceremony.<br />
After the official ceremony, a nervous<br />
Dumbrocyo quietly put his hat on<br />
his head. He was quite proud of the<br />
WWII Veteran hat he was wearing. “I<br />
get the most comments from this right<br />
here,” he said, as he pointed to an<br />
Omaha Beach pin displayed on the<br />
hat. He continued “People I don’t<br />
even know come up and shake my<br />
hand when they recognize this pin.<br />
Some of them were there too and<br />
some just say thank you.”<br />

Bryan Daniel Augustin Clark<br />
BUXTON–Bryan Daniel<br />
Augustin Clark of Buxton,<br />
passed away on <strong>June</strong> 1.<br />
His parents, Daniel<br />
Augustin Clark and Linda<br />
Alice (Young) Clark of<br />
Buxton, Maine, were at<br />
his side.<br />
Bryan was born on May<br />
15, 1973 in Dover-Foxcroft<br />
Maine. He attended Bonny<br />
Eagle High School and<br />
received his GED in 1992,<br />
and lived in Buxton until<br />
his death from complications<br />
of hemophilia and<br />
AIDS. Despite his lifelong<br />
battle with these diseases,<br />
Bryan was active in healthcare<br />
legislation and programs<br />
supporting elderly<br />
and chronically ill people.<br />
He was particularly proud<br />
of his work on the<br />
Governor’s Task Force for<br />
the Legalization of Medical<br />
Marijuana and the Therapy<br />
Dogs program, which gave<br />
Bryan and his beloved dog<br />
Zeb the opportunity to visit<br />
nursing homes and bring<br />
joy to the residents. Bryan<br />
is survived by his parents, Dan and Linda<br />
Clark; his sister Heather, of Manchester NH;<br />
his niece Trinity Bryanne; and countless<br />
friends, all of whom will miss him greatly.<br />
Bryan was predeceased by his dog Zeb, his<br />
grandparents Aaron and Eleanor Clark of<br />
Thomaston ME, and Grant and Leona Young<br />
of Rockland ME, and by several friends,<br />
many of them from the hemophiliac<br />
community.<br />
A memorial service for Bryan will be held<br />
on Sunday <strong>June</strong> 14 at 2:00 PM at the<br />
Dennett-Craig & Pate Funeral Home, located<br />
on the corners of Rts. 202 and 4A (13<br />

Western Maine Class A rankings for the<br />
third-straight year, the best stretch of<br />
success <strong>Gorham</strong> has enjoyed in head<br />
coach Sonja Frey's 24 years of coaching.“The<br />
middle school tennis program<br />
and the <strong>Gorham</strong> Rec summer<br />
program have really helped out by<br />
allowing younger players to steadily<br />
improve,” Frey said.<br />
Leading the way for <strong>Gorham</strong> have<br />
been singles players Hannah Shorty, a<br />
junior, as well as sophomore Natalie<br />
Egbert and senior Julia Parmakian.<br />
Egbert reached the round of 16 in the<br />
State singles tournament while Shorty<br />
reached the round of 32.This is the<br />
first year of varsity single competition<br />
for both Egbert and Parmakian.<br />
In doubles matches, the team is led<br />
by the veteran combination of seniors<br />
Brittany Raymond and Shannon<br />
O'Brien, who have gone 47-6 over<br />
their varsity careers.Also playing doubles<br />
are newcomer sophomores Sarah<br />
Moir and Colleen Ward.“All seven of<br />
our top players have held their own<br />
and won most of their matches all<br />
year,” Frey said.“They have played consistently<br />
and have improved throughout<br />
the year.”<br />
The team won its first playoff game,<br />
4-1, vs. Deering on <strong>June</strong> 4 and beat<br />
third-seeded Scarborough 3-2 in the<br />
Western Maine semifinals <strong>June</strong> 6 to<br />
advance to the Western Maine Class A<br />
final, which takes place <strong>June</strong> 10.“The<br />
tournament will be a tough challenge,<br />
but we have the potential to do very<br />
well,” Frey said.

renewable energy. Under the residential<br />
energy-efficiency tax credit, which expires<br />
Dec. 31, <strong>2009</strong>, homeowners who make<br />
energy-efficient improvements to their existing<br />
primary residences could qualify for a<br />
tax credit up to $500. The residential renewable-energy<br />

On <strong>June</strong> 7th, soon after graduation ceremonies ended, the Class of <strong>2009</strong> began celebrating this memorable milestone in their lives.<br />
The chem-free overnight celebration, organized by the Project Graduation Committee, included bowling at Yankee Lanes followed by<br />
a night of fun-filled activities and delicious food at St. Joseph's college. We want to express sincere appreciation to the following<br />
businesses and individuals whose support made this event possible. We could not have done it without you.<br />
