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 />

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 />

Ground has been broken for the new<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 />

forward, many other towns are<br />

applying for the same money so we<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 />

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 />

have been senior Aimee Burgos, juniors<br />

Katie Smith and Kristi Zarrilli.<br />

The defense has been ably anchored<br />

by goal keeper Mackenzie Smith,<br />

hard at the fundamentals and<br />

improving team chemistry over the<br />

course of the season,” said Dyer.<br />

“Team dinners, inspirational quotes<br />

and talking about what's important<br />

have helped the team bond, and winning<br />

has helped too.The team<br />

believes in itself.”<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 />

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.

THANK YOU!<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 />
